Chemical manufacturing · Gas handling · Inventory-heavy
The pitch
Manufactures stable bleaching powder through the controlled reaction of calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and chlorine gas in specialized reaction vessels.
Supplied to municipal water treatment plants, textile processing units, poultry farms, and large-scale sanitation services via local distributors and institutional tenders. Operations involve precise chemical dosing and gas containment protocols to ensure product stability and worker safety. Requires dedicated storage for hazardous chlorine cylinders and moisture-proof packaging areas.
The sample cost of ₹25,56,000 covers the procurement of reaction tanks, chlorine gas handling systems, drying units, packaging machinery, and initial working capital for raw materials.

How seasonal is demand?
Steady year-round. Treat demand as year-round until a more specific product pack applies.
What is the sample project cost?
₹25,56,000 is the official PMEGP sample project cost shown for this idea. Your actual project cost may differ — treat this as a planning reference, not a quote.
What subsidy might apply under PMEGP?
Indicative PMEGP-style margin money rates on this site run up to 35% of project cost, depending on beneficiary category and rural vs urban area. This is not a guarantee of subsidy, sanction, or bank finance — verify current guidelines before applying.
How local is demand?
City / region. Most micro samples sell into the nearest town or city market plus local buyers.
Is FoundersOffice a government site?

Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Hazardous Material Handling
Chlorine gas is highly toxic; requires specialized leak detection systems and rigorous safety training.
Raw Material Volatility
Fluctuations in the price of lime and chlorine can significantly impact production costs.
Moisture Sensitivity
The final product degrades quickly if exposed to humidity; requires high-quality moisture-barrier packaging.
Regulatory Oversight
Chemical manufacturing is subject to strict environmental and safety inspections.
