Emergency Procession & Event Security Barrier Rental Service
The Opportunity
Religious processions and public gatherings across Jharkhand (and similar regions) lack adequate physical barriers to separate crowds, control flow, and prevent stone-pelting incidents. Local authorities scramble to erect temporary fencing during high-tension festivals, but no standardised rental service exists. Organisers and police both need quick deployment of reusable barriers.
Market Size
₹15 Cr addressable market — based on 5,000+ processions/events annually across Jharkhand, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh requiring barriers at ₹10k–30k per event
Business Model
Rent portable metal crowd barriers (2m height, stackable, interlocking) at ₹8k–15k per event (3-7 day rental). Transport via shared truck. Serve event organisers, municipal authorities, and police departments. Build inventory in 2–3 high-tension districts. Recurring demand during Navratri, Holi, Eid, Ram Navami, local melas.
Event-based rentals: ₹12k × 50 events/year = ₹60 lakhAnnual contracts with municipality/police: ₹2–3 lakh per districtDelivery + setup fees: ₹2k per event
