Sonepur (Subarnapur) district is one of the primary centres of Sambalpuri silk and bomkai weaving. A producer cooperative organising 50-80 weavers plus design support and shared D2C distribution channels reaches metro buyers at 4-6 times regional prices.
Capex of 8-18 lakh covers shared looms, silk inventory, packaging, and brand support. NHDP (handloom cluster) plus NSP (silk cluster) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: maintaining authentic Sambalpuri silk quality, weaver supply contracts, and reaching D2C metro buyers. Start with Sambalpuri saris (highest unit margin); ranges in year 2.
