Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Raw material costs

    Aluminum alloy prices fluctuate with global markets; requires bulk purchasing agreements.

  • Compliance

    Must adhere to BIS standards for automotive components and GST regulations.

  • Skilled labor

    Requires machinists with experience in precision casting; training costs may apply.

  • Inventory risk

    High inventory turnover needed to avoid obsolescence of specialized parts.

  • Regulatory changes

    Automotive standards may update, requiring re-certification of products.
