Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • PMEGP subsidy limit

    Central subsidy capped at 15% of eligible cost up to ₹15 lakh; balance must be funded through promoter contribution or term loan.

  • GST registration mandatory

    Must obtain GSTIN before commencing manufacturing; applicable rates 18% on machine sales and 5% on raw materials/components.

  • Component sourcing risk

    Electronic components sourced from Delhi/Mumbai; supply chain disruptions can affect production timelines and working capital requirements.
