Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw Material Supply
Securing a consistent supply of waste timber can be challenging; establish contracts with local sawmills and contractors.
Market Price Volatility
Prices for wood panels fluctuate with construction demand; maintain inventory buffers and diversify customer base.
Environmental Compliance
Processing wood generates dust and emissions; obtain necessary environmental clearance and install dust suppression systems.
Capital Utilization
Ensure that the ₹38,67,000 is allocated efficiently; over‑investment in idle machinery can erode profitability.
