Manufactures auto control cables (accelerator, clutch, brake, speedometer) by cutting, crimping, and assembling steel wire, housing, and plastic/metal end-fittings in a semi-automated plant.
Sells to two-wheelers and four-wheelers OEMs, automotive component distributors, and repair workshops in Indore and nearby industrial zones via direct B2B supply and local auto-parts wholesalers. Daily production runs on shift basis with incoming raw material inspection, in-process crimp pull testing, and finished-goods batch sampling before dispatch to buyers.
Sample/template project cost is ₹24,68,000 covering land/leasehold improvements, cable-cutting/crimping machines, wire-drawing unit, raw material yard, basic QC table, and initial working capital.
Who buys & when
Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.
Buyers
Local households and small businesses are the default demand base for Samadhan sample lines unless the product name points to a clearer pack.
Channels
Local retail
Order / referral
Wholesale where relevant
Seasonality
Steady year-round
Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
Locality
City / region
Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.
Demand watch-out: Generic demand assumptions fail when the product is highly specialized — validate with local buyers before locking capacity.
Derived from idea type and sector — not a survey or government market report.
Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material price volatility
Steel wire and copper prices fluctuate weekly; maintain 15-20 day buffer stock and negotiate quarterly price contracts with suppliers.
Quality certification for OEM supply
Two-wheeler OEMs require ISO 9001 and PPAP documentation; budget for certification and testing lab fees within first year.
Working capital cycle mismatch
Raw material purchase is upfront but payment from distributors is 30-45 days; arrange separate working capital limit over and above project term loan.
Tooling wear and replacement
Crimping dies and cutting blades wear every 20,000-30,000 cycles; include annual tooling replacement cost in maintenance budget.
