Coir Board Based

Coir Brush

₹18 L(₹18,00,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy
Manufacturing unit · Raw material intensive · Manual/Semi-automatic assembly

The pitch

Manufactures natural coir brushes using coconut fiber extracted from husks, processed through combing, shaping, and binding with metal staples or wire.

Wholesale distributors, retail cleaning supply stores, industrial cleaning equipment vendors, and institutional procurement agencies. Requires consistent supply of high-quality coconut fiber and skilled labor for brush shaping and finishing.

The sample cost of ₹18,00,000 covers machinery (combing machines, brush-making machines), raw material stock, and initial working capital.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw Material Volatility

    Fluctuations in coconut husk availability and seasonal price variations of coir fiber.

  • Quality Consistency

    Maintaining uniform brush stiffness and staple density across production batches.

  • Moisture Control

    Inadequate drying of fiber can lead to mold growth and product degradation.

  • Waste Management

    Managing byproduct fiber dust and scrap material efficiently.

  • 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 (₹18 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.
