DPR & CMA Data on Electrical switches and accessories (polycarbonate based)

The project focuses on the production of electrical switches and accessories using polycarbonate materials, aiming to meet the growing demand for durable and high-performance electrical components. Polycarbonate is chosen for its excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical insulating properties, making it ideal for manufacturing switches that can withstand rigorous use in both residential and industrial environments. As safety and reliability become increasingly important in electrical installations, products made from polycarbonate offer a significant edge over traditional materials like PVC and metal. The project will encompass a range of products, including toggle switches, dimmers, modular switches, and sockets, which can be customized to suit different designs and functionalities. Additionally, with the rise of smart home technology, there is potential for integrating advanced features such as connectivity options. The initiative not only aims to enhance product lines but also emphasizes sustainability. By employing manufacturing processes that minimize waste and energy consumption, this project aligns with global trends toward eco-friendly production practices. The market for electrical accessories is expected to grow, driven by rising urbanization, increased construction activities, and a shift towards smart technology adoption. Leveraging technological advancements in manufacturing will further improve product quality and production efficiency.

• Growing demand for reliable and durable electrical components.

Total capital investment ranges from ₹385,000 to ₹28,600,000 depending on the scale of operation. This covers plant and machinery, civil work, pre-operative expenses, and working capital. Larger scales require proportionally higher investment but typically offer better returns.

At the larger investment scale, the expected break-even is approximately approx. 5 years at approximately 75.00% capacity utilisation. Smaller setups may reach break-even sooner due to lower fixed costs relative to the capacity.
