Coir Board Based

Coir Fibre Extraction Unit

₹25 L(₹25,00,000) · ₹25–50LUp to 35% subsidy
Manufacturing · Raw Material Intensive

The pitch

Extraction of high-quality coir fibre from coconut husks using mechanical decorticating machines and drying processes.

Local coir yarn manufacturers, export-oriented coir pith producers, and domestic coconut product industries. Requires consistent supply of coconut husks and proximity to coconut plantations. Operations involve heavy machinery usage and moisture control during drying.

Sample cost of ₹25,00,000 covers machinery procurement (decorticators, dryers), initial raw husk inventory, and basic factory shed setup.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw Material Seasonality

    Fluctuations in coconut husk availability can impact production consistency.

  • Machine Maintenance

    High wear and tear on decorticating blades requires regular replacement and lubrication.

  • Moisture Management

    Inadequate drying leads to fungal growth and degradation of fibre quality.

  • Waste Management

    Management of coir pith (by-product) is essential for site cleanliness and secondary revenue.

  • Figures are illustrative for discussion, not a sanction estimate.
  • Actual margin money and contribution depend on current PMEGP guidelines and implementing agency.
  • Land cost is generally excluded from project cost under the scheme.
  • Full-capacity revenue is estimated at 2× project cost (₹25 L) — adjust it to your own numbers.

Indicative only — actual bank DSCR calculations add back depreciation; treat this as a sense-check, not a bank figure. Verify with your CA/bank before applying.
