Service & Business Units

12 projects · Project cost up to ₹20 lakh

Service sector projects — repair, hospitality, healthcare, education and personal services. Lower cost ceiling but faster to set up and easier to show viability.

Agri & Allied Activities

1 projects · Project cost up to ₹50 lakh

Food processing, dairy, poultry and agri-based units. These often stack with NABARD and PMFME benefits alongside PMEGP margin money.

Retail & Trading Units

1 projects · Project cost up to ₹20 lakh

Pure trading is generally not eligible under PMEGP. The units listed here qualify because they include a value-addition, servicing or processing component.

PMEGP Negative List — Projects That Are Not Eligible

Applications for these activities are rejected at the KVIC/DIC screening stage. Check this before you spend time on a project report.

Meat processing, canning or serving of meat
Liquor, alcohol and intoxicant products
Tobacco products — bidi, pan, cigarette, gutkha
Crop cultivation and horticulture (processing is allowed)
Sericulture, animal husbandry as the primary activity
Polythene carry bags below 20 microns
Existing units — PMEGP funds new units only
Units that already took PMRY / REGP / other subsidy

PMEGP Project List — FAQs

Where can I download the PMEGP project list PDF?

KVIC publishes model project profiles on the PMEGP e-Portal (kviconline.gov.in) and on kvic.gov.in under 'Project Profiles'. Those PDFs are generic templates with dated cost figures. The list on this page covers the same project categories but with current cost bands, and each entry opens a project report you can generate with your own numbers, location and bank — which is what the bank actually needs. A downloadable model PDF will not be accepted as your project report.

How many projects are approved under PMEGP?

PMEGP does not publish a closed list of approved projects. Any micro enterprise in manufacturing, service, or agri-allied activity is eligible provided it is a new unit, the promoter is 18+, and the activity is not in the negative list. KVIC circulates model project profiles for roughly 200+ common activities as guidance. The 89 project ideas listed here are the categories most frequently sanctioned by banks under PMEGP.

Which projects are NOT eligible under PMEGP?

The PMEGP negative list excludes: any business involving meat processing or serving of meat, liquor and intoxicants, tobacco products (bidi, pan, cigarette), cultivation of crops and horticulture (though value-addition and processing is allowed), sericulture and animal husbandry as primary activity, polythene carry bags below 20 microns, existing units already availing government subsidy, and units that have taken benefit under PMRY, REGP or any other central/state subsidy scheme for the same activity.

What is the maximum project cost in the PMEGP project list?

₹50 lakh for manufacturing units and ₹20 lakh for service and trading units. These limits were raised from the earlier ₹25 lakh and ₹10 lakh. If your project costs more than the ceiling, PMEGP subsidy is calculated only on the eligible portion up to the ceiling — the balance must come from your own funds or unsubsidised bank finance.

Which PMEGP project has the highest profit?

Bank officers do not sanction on profit alone — they sanction on DSCR and repayment capacity. That said, the categories that most consistently clear the 1.50 manufacturing DSCR threshold are: fly ash brick and cement block units, paper cup and disposable manufacturing, dal and flour mills, mineral water plants, and food processing units — because they have predictable input costs and steady local demand. Service units like diagnostic labs and gyms show strong margins but need more careful demand justification in the project report.

Do I need a separate project report for each PMEGP project?

Yes. The PMEGP application on the e-Portal requires a project report specific to your unit — your location, your machinery quotations, your capacity, your projected sales. Generic downloaded PDFs are rejected at the bank stage. Pick your activity from the list below and generate a report with your own figures, cost of project, means of finance showing margin money, and year-wise DSCR.

The unit has been in operation since 2019 and currently services 20–25 jobs a day from a 350 sq.ft. ground-floor shop, with a recorded customer base of 600+ households in the Vaishali Nagar catchment. The promoter proposes to expand the workbench capacity, add board-level diagnostic equipment and carry a spare-parts inventory so that 70% of repairs can be completed same-day instead of the present 3-day turnaround.

The project is assessed at a cost of ₹10.00 lakh, financed by a ₹8.00 lakh MUDRA Tarun term loan and ₹2.00 lakh of promoter's own contribution (20%). At the projected turnover the unit services its debt 5.87 times over on average, against the 1.25 minimum, and breaks even at 62% of Year-1 sales — leaving substantial cushion against a demand shortfall.

Recommendation: the proposal is technically feasible, commercially viable and financially sound. It is recommended for sanction of a term loan of ₹8.00 lakh repayable in 60 monthly instalments.

CMA Data & Working Capital Assessment

Working capital is assessed under the Tandon Committee Method II, the basis used by banks for limits up to ₹5 crore. The workings below are drawn from the Year-1 projections above.

No cash-credit limit is sought in this proposal; the assessment is presented because bank officers ask for it. Were the limit of ₹3.18 lakh availed, the current ratio would stand at 1.33 — above the 1.25 stipulated by IBA.

Strengths

  • Nine years of promoter experience in the same line of activity; the unit is already running and profitable.
  • Only board-level repair capability in a 3 km catchment of 12,000 households.
  • 85% repeat customers — revenue is recurring rather than one-off.
  • Low fixed-cost base; the shop is rented at ₹12,000 a month with no owned-premises burden.

Weaknesses

  • Technical dependence on the proprietor for complex board-level work.
  • Informal book-keeping to date; a computerised billing and stock system is part of this project.
  • Brand recognition limited to the immediate locality.

Opportunities

  • Right to Repair framework improving access to genuine spares for independent repairers.
  • About 3,000 new households entering the catchment within 1 km.
  • Institutional tie-ups — schools, clinics and offices for annual maintenance contracts.

Threats

  • An authorised brand service centre opening within the catchment.
  • Import-duty-led increases in spare-parts prices.
  • Attrition of trained technicians to larger service chains.
