Ballari (Bellary) district has substantial iron-ore mining plus emerging pomegranate cultivation. A combined operator running mining-ancillary services plus a pomegranate processing unit (juice, concentrate, dried arils) captures both economies.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers fabrication tools, processing equipment, and 6 months of working capital. MSME-Cluster Development scheme + MIDH (horticulture) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: securing mining-ancillary contracts, pomegranate harvest seasonality, and managing two operating models. Start with mining services (steady year-round); pomegranate in year 2.
