Process plant · QC testing · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Production of aluminium cans for rural engineering and bio‑tech industry using a small‑scale melting and extrusion line.

Rural engineering firms, bio‑tech manufacturers, and local distributors purchase cans through wholesale channels and direct sales. The unit runs a small-scale aluminium melting and extrusion line, procuring raw aluminium daily, forming cans, performing QC tests, and maintaining inventory of finished products.

₹15,00,000 covers plant setup, machinery, raw material storage, and quality control equipment.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Eligibility compliance

    Ensure the unit meets PMEGP’s minimum ₹10L cost and rural location criteria before applying.

  • Quality certification

    Obtain relevant certifications for bio‑tech grade aluminium cans to satisfy customer specifications.

  • Supply chain reliability

    Secure consistent raw aluminium supply to avoid production delays.

  • Machinery maintenance

    Plan for regular maintenance of melting and extrusion equipment to minimize downtime.

Scheme mechanics

  • PMEGP (Credit Linked Subsidy Scheme)
  • MUDRA Bank Loan
  • State Rural Development Scheme

What bankers typically probe for this idea

  • Propose a capital‑intensive manufacturing unit with clear PMEGP eligibility and rural location benefits
  • Highlight alignment with growing bio‑tech demand and potential for rural employment generation

Education: VIII pass likely; PMEGP requires verification of manufacturing unit eligibility for costs above ₹10L

  • 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 (₹15 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.
