Market Potential

Woollen Mufflers are generally used by gents during winter season specially in the hilly areas, to protect neck and head portion of the body from cold. Being a very cheap product, it becomes within the easy reach of common man, hence there is ample scope to start this industry in any part of India both in towns and villages. The manufacture of Mufflers is very simple and can be managed with a little knowledge of knitting. Moreover, machinery and raw materials required to start this industry are indigenously available.

Basis and Presumptions

1. The Project Profile has been prepared on the basis of double shift of 16 hours each day, 25 days in a month and at 75% efficiency.

2. It is presumed that in the Ist year, the capacity utilisation will be 60% followed by 75% in the next year and 80% in the subsequent years.

3. The rates quoted in respect of salaries and wages for skilled workers and others are the minimum rates in the State/neighbouring States.

4. Interest rate for fixed and working capital has been taken @ 14% of an average, whether financed by the Banks or by Financial Corporation.

5. Margin money required is minimum 30% of the Projected investment.

6. Pay back period of the Project will be after the initial gestation period of one and a half year, it will require 2 years to pay back the loans.

7. Built up & covered area is taken of its own

8. The rates quoted in respect of machines, equipments and raw materials are those prevailing at the time of preparation of this Project Profile and are likely to vary from supplier to supplier and place to place. When a tailor made Project Profile is prepared, necessary changes are to be made.

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture

Dyed woollen/mixed yarn in different shades is purchased from the market and is wound on the wooden bobbins by a process known as winding. These bobbins are placed on Hand-operated Circular Knitting Machines and Yarn is converted into knitted cloth. This knitted cloth is cut into pieces as per length of mufflers required. Both end of these cut pieces are stitched or overlooked and fringes are attached with hand process by ladies. The mufflers are then pressed and packed in card board boxes and marketed.
