Coir Board Based

Coir Diversified Product Production Unit

₹25 L(₹25,00,000) · ₹25–50LUp to 35% subsidy
Process plant · QC · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Produces coir board based products such as coir boards, mats, and panels for construction, furniture, and packaging applications.

Local construction firms, furniture manufacturers, packaging companies, and export markets via B2B platforms and trade fairs. The unit will operate a continuous coir processing line, perform quality checks at each stage, and maintain a buffer inventory of finished boards to meet seasonal demand.

Sample capital of ₹25,00,000 covers land acquisition, construction of a 200 sq m processing unit, purchase of coir processing machinery, initial raw material stock, and working capital for the first 3 months.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw Material Supply

    Coir fiber availability can be seasonal; secure long‑term supply contracts with local coir growers.

  • Market Price Volatility

    Coir board prices fluctuate with construction activity; diversify end‑users to mitigate risk.

  • Environmental Compliance

    Ensure proper waste management and obtain necessary environmental clearance to avoid shutdowns.

  • Skill Gap

    Operators need training in coir processing; invest in skill development to maintain quality.

  • Financing Gap

    Initial working capital may be insufficient; plan for short‑term credit or bank overdraft.

  • 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.
