Farmers around Pollachi, Annur and Karamadai need bore-well pumps pulled, repaired and refitted quickly, and some want solar pumps. A local fitter who buys from Coimbatore's own pump makers can offer both.

This is a service business that repairs the submersible and open-well pumps farms already use, and fits solar-powered pumps where they make sense. You earn from breakdown calls, yearly service visits and new installations.
Motor pumps are Coimbatore's One District One Product, and the district is one of India's largest pump-making hubs, so pumps and spare parts are close at hand. The farm need is local too. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Coimbatore says the district draws more groundwater than it recharges, and puts water resources credit potential at ₹112.56 crore. Deep bore-wells are hard on pumps, and a breakdown in the dry months can cost a farmer a crop.
You need a trained pump mechanic or electrician, a pickup vehicle, a tripod and chain pulley for lifting pumps, and a small store. Tamil Nadu gives farmers free power for their pumps, so solar mainly suits farms still waiting for a power connection or far from the lines. Subsidised solar pumps are fitted by suppliers the state has approved, so get approved or work under one. The hard part is money: farmers often pay after harvest, so keep stock lean and follow up on dues.
Win work through farmer producer groups, coconut growers and pump dealers around Pollachi, Kinathukadavu and Annur, where word of mouth matters most.
