A combined subsidy total is not stated here; each scheme portal lists its own cap.
Phone 5-6 automotive distributors in Rohtak/Jind (Yellow Pages, local industry association list ₹0 cost). Post on IndiaMART/TradeKey free. Email 10 maintenance departments of small factories using 'local fastener supplier' pitch. First order expected within 2-3 weeks, ₹8-15K value.
Haan. ISO 9001 certification (₹1.5-2L), IEC code (₹5K), Udyam + GST registration. Export destinations: Germany, UAE, USA accept Indian fasteners at 40-50% FOB margin. First shipment size: 500-1000 kg, ₹4-6L revenue per shipment to Europe. Process: 8-10 weeks from buyer inquiry to first shipment.
Honest answer: if no sales after 6 months, pivot to job work (contract machining for other makers — 8-12% margin, lower risk). Used CNC machinery recovers 40-50% resale value. Rental units avoid sunk costs. Exit timeline: 2-3 months to liquidate, minimal loss if you lease vs own. Success rate in cluster: 65-70% break even within 14 months, so risk is real but not catastrophic.
