Lohardaga district has India's largest bauxite reserves feeding HINDALCO Lohardaga, NALCO, and other aluminum processors. The structural opportunity: specialist mining-and-aluminum-ancillary services — vehicle and equipment maintenance, small fabrication, logistics for the mining cluster. A small operator with 4-8 person team captures recurring B2B work serving 5-10 anchor clients.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers fabrication tools, vehicles, and 6 months of working capital. MSME-Cluster Development scheme + MUDRA Tarun fund the build. Hard parts: building anchor client relationships (relationship-driven), securing payments (mining clients often slow-pay), and managing seasonal monsoon disruptions to mine operations. Realistic: profitable from year 2 with 3-4 anchor accounts.
