For an entrepreneur in Agra or Kanpur planning a leather footwear manufacturing unit under PMEGP (NIC 15201) with a project cost between ₹10 Lakh and ₹1 Crore, a bank-ready project report is the cornerstone of loan approval. This report goes beyond a simple business plan—it includes detailed CMA (Credit Monitoring Arrangement) data, DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) calculations, and 5-year financial projections that demonstrate viability. The PMEGP scheme offers a subsidy of 25% (general category) to 35% (special categories) of the project cost, capped at ₹35 Lakh. A well-structured report covers raw material sourcing (leather from local tanneries), machinery specifications (like sole attaching machines, skiving machines), production capacity, working capital needs, and market strategy. It also includes sensitivity analysis to reassure the bank. Without a professional report, many applicants face rejection or delays. This page provides a ready format and key details to help you prepare a submission that meets SIDBI and bank guidelines.
Under PMEGP, any individual above 18 years with at least 8th standard education (relaxable for special categories) can apply. For footwear manufacturing (NIC 15201), the project cost includes land (if not owned), building (approx. 500–1000 sq ft), machinery (leather cutting, stitching, lasting, finishing), furniture, and working capital. A typical ₹25 Lakh project: building ₹5 Lakh, machinery ₹12 Lakh (e.g., hydraulic sole pressing machine ₹2.5 Lakh, industrial sewing machine ₹1.5 Lakh), furniture ₹1 Lakh, working capital ₹7 Lakh. The promoter must contribute 10% (general) or 5% (special). Bank finance covers the balance, with subsidy released after 50% margin money contribution.
PMEGP subsidy for footwear manufacturing is 25% of project cost for general category and 35% for SC/ST/OBC/minorities/women/PH/ex-servicemen/NER. The maximum subsidy is ₹35 Lakh (i.e., for projects up to ₹1 Cr for general, ₹1.4 Cr for special categories). Disbursement: first 20% of subsidy after 50% margin money is brought in, remaining 80% after loan is fully disbursed and unit commences production. The subsidy is adjusted against the loan principal. For a ₹25 Lakh project (general), subsidy = ₹6.25 Lakh, promoter margin = ₹2.5 Lakh, bank loan = ₹16.25 Lakh. Ensure CMA shows DSCR > 1.25 and NPW positive.
Along with the project report, submit: 1) KYC of promoter (Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID), 2) Education proof (8th pass certificate), 3) Caste certificate (if applicable), 4) Land/building documents (lease deed or ownership), 5) Quotations for machinery (at least 3 vendors), 6) Partnership/company registration (if applicable), 7) GST registration (recommended), 8) Pollution clearance (if required), 9) Udyam registration. The project report must include 5-year projected P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, CMA data (current ratio, debt-equity ratio, DSCR), and break-even analysis. Banks also require a detailed marketing plan—mention local shoe clusters (e.g., Agra, Kanpur, Chennai) and online sales channels.

Yes, you can take a rented building. The project report should include rent as an expense. However, land/building cost cannot be included in the project cost if rented. Only capital expenditure on building (if owned) or renovation is allowed. Ensure you have a valid lease agreement for at least 5 years.
DSCR = (Net Profit + Depreciation + Interest) / (Principal Repayment + Interest). For a typical ₹25 Lakh project with 7-year loan at 10% interest, annual installment ~₹4.5 Lakh. With projected net profit ₹3 Lakh, depreciation ₹1.5 Lakh, interest ₹2 Lakh, DSCR = (3+1.5+2)/4.5 = 1.44. Banks prefer DSCR > 1.25.
Key machinery includes: leather skiving machine (₹1.5 Lakh), sole attaching machine (₹2.5 Lakh), industrial sewing machine (₹1.5 Lakh each, need 2-3), heel attaching machine (₹1 Lakh), finishing machine (₹0.8 Lakh), and last (₹0.5 Lakh). Total machinery cost typically ₹8-12 Lakh for a small unit. Include 3 quotations in project report.
