The pitch

Produces coir geo-textiles (landscape fabrics, erosion control mats, horticultural mats) on automatic loom units using coir yarn derived from coconut husk processing

Wholesale to construction contractors, landscaping firms, horticulture nurseries via direct B2B sales and regional distributors; also sells to municipal works and export markets through trade shows and coir board referrals Operates 3-shift cycle with 6-8 workers; requires daily yarn tension monitoring, fabric width/weight QC checks, and inventory management of coir raw material and chemical dyes

Sample project cost ₹22,34,000 covers automatic loom machinery, coir yarn processing equipment, raw material storage, finishing line, packaging area and basic utility connections

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Coir quality variability

    Coconut husk quality fluctuates seasonally affecting yarn consistency and final fabric strength

  • Chemical finishing compliance

    Use of eco-friendly biocides and dyes mandatory; must maintain MSDS and effluent treatment records for pollution control board

  • Market price volatility

    Geo-textile prices dip 20-30% during monsoon/off-season requiring cash flow planning and pre-agreed buyer contracts

  • 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 (₹22.3 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.
