West Singhbhum (Chaibasa) district has India's largest iron-ore reserves in the Saranda forest belt feeding TATA Steel, SAIL, JSW, and others. The same district has rich Ho tribal heritage. A combined operator running mining-and-iron-ore-ancillary services (vehicle services, equipment maintenance) plus a Ho-craft retail brand (Ho textile, lac-jewelry, traditional pottery) captures both economies.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers fabrication tools, vehicles, retail fit-out, and 6 months of working capital. MSME-Cluster Development scheme + DCH (handicrafts) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: securing mining-ancillary contracts, Ho-craft authentic supply, and managing two operating models. Start with mining services (steady recurring revenue); Ho-craft retail in year 2.
