The Opportunity
HFCL and telecom equipment manufacturers are scaling up fibre-optic production massively (300+ tonnes annually planned), but waste fibre, off-cuts, defective spools, and packaging materials are generated at every manufacturing and installation site. There's no organized collection and sorting service β manufacturers currently dump or hoard scrap. Scrap dealers and recyclers have no direct access to these high-value copper/glass/plastic streams.
Market SizeβΉ15-20 Cr addressable market β based on 5-10% waste generation from βΉ800-900 Cr annual capex cycle in fibre-optic manufacturing + installation across datacentre
Why NowGST registration (5% on services, 18% on goods resale).
