Ludhiana's bicycle and engineering units need a hard, even finish on frames, forks, mudguards and machine parts. A powder coating shop close to them can take the short runs and rush batches that bigger plants find hard to fit in.

Powder coating sprays a dry coloured powder onto metal and bakes it in an oven, giving a hard finish that resists chips and rust. This shop would clean parts in chemical tanks so the coating sticks, then coat and bake them for bicycle makers, parts suppliers and fabricators who do not have their own line.
Ludhiana is India's bicycle-making capital and a dense cluster of bicycle parts, auto parts, fasteners and machine parts. Frames, forks, mudguards, carriers, stands and many machine covers all need a coated finish. Smaller makers with short runs or new colours often struggle to get quick slots at bigger shops. Units that start selling finished cycles under their own name also need finishes that look good in a showroom.
You need a set of washing and chemical tanks, a spray booth that recovers unused powder, a curing oven, a compressor and trained sprayers. Get pollution board consent for the wash water and fire safety approval. The hard part is that the city already has many coating shops and prices are tight, so you must keep the oven full and get quality right: poor cleaning makes the coating peel, and one rejected batch can lose a customer.
Win work by visiting cycle and parts units in the city's industrial areas, offering sample runs and quick colour changes.
