Polymer & Chemical

Blow Moulded Plastic Containers

₹19.3 L(₹19,27,000) · ₹10–25LUp to 35% subsidy

Process plant · QC · Inventory-heavy

The pitch

Produces blow-moulded plastic containers (e.g., bottles, jars, drums) by extrusion blow moulding of polymer resins such as HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PET, using colourants and additives as required.

Sells to FMCG packers, agrochemical and chemical distributors, lubricant marketers, and household goods brands via direct B2B sales, regional distributors, and trade exhibitions in Tier II/III cities. Daily operations involve resin feeding, extrusion, blow moulding, trimming, leak and dimensional testing, batch-wise dispatch; requires 1–2 skilled machine operators and 1 helper, with 15–20 days of raw material inventory on site.

Sample/template cost is ₹19,27,000 covering a small shed or ground-level shed, single-stage blow moulding machine, air compressor, chiller, material dryer, moulds, raw material store, basic QC bench, and working capital for 2–3 months.

Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

Power and compressed air reliability
Blow moulding machines require 3-phase power and steady compressed air; plan for a DG set backup and verify local power sanctioned load to avoid production downtime.
Raw material price volatility
Polymer resin prices (HDPE, PP, PET) fluctuate weekly; maintain 15–20 days of inventory and negotiate rate contracts with suppliers to protect margins.
Mould and product qualification lead time
Custom moulds take 4–6 weeks and cost ₹2–5 lakhs; confirm customer drawings and pre-production samples before committing delivery dates.
Waste and scrap handling
Trim and rejected parts must be granulated and re-blended; arrange a granulator and a recycler tie-up to keep material costs under control.
