Project Feasibility Report: 1. About the Project

The Project is envisaged to operate Auto LPG Dispensing stations mainly in Southern States on a most realistic basis out of the expertise gained by the promoter in the first 10 stations. Considering the uncertain & abnormally raising cost of popular auto fuel - petrol, there is a tremendous demand from vehicle owners to go in for cheap, best & ideal alternative fuel Viz. LPG & CNG. It also promotes pollution reduction, better health of humanity & nature. Most of the automobile manufacturers of 3 & 4 wheeler segments have already got approvals and rolled down their LPG version vehicles as a popular measure with OEM kits; 2 wheeler segments is also busy in their R & D works and very sooner we can see the opportunity to here a huge impact on this large demand sector.

Most of the State Government & State Pollution Control Boards are also encouraging the shift to toxic emission free automotive on their highways and state ways and even offer incentives as promotional activity. Successfully a dozen manufacturers of conversion kits & systems also got licenses & clearances from Nodal agencies and rolled substantial of auto gas in Indian automobile sector. & ever increasing volume of gas conversion equipments successfully assuming the speedier growth accelerating popularization

Since the viable usage of

CNG will take more time to implement their piping,

compressing and distribution network in the south, auto LPG have terrific impact need in the immediate future. More over establishment of sizeable ALDSs both in

Public and Private sector in the recent 2 years have also contributed a lot urging about 60 % of the automotive users to going for cheap and toxic free auto gas mainly considering the cost saving of around 40 % over petrol and more life for engine and transmission parts they get as reward. It also has significant impact on the quality of the countrys air.

2. Feasibility:
Having projected the demand for clean fuel, let us analyse the viability, technical feasibility and profitability of the project in conjunction with the present scenario.

Viability:
The automotive vehicle manufacturing have recorded a steep growth 10 times in the past 5 years with more and more global manufacturers migrating / choosing their manufacturing base in India which offers tremendous business opportunity on logistics and economical grounds the vast scope of sourcing in ancillary , skilled the fruit of globalization with vast import and peaceful work force, cheap labor , engineering perfection, quality consciousness technical advantage etc blended with potential apart from ever increasing local demand prompted the sector to go in for more and more R & D , cost reduction so as to bring more popular and economical models to have competitive edge. It is projected by automotive watchers there will be a creation of 10 folder expansion in the projection of vehicles by 2013 conducted out of multifaceted service assuring the influence of growth in automotive sector very bright in the radar of Indian industry. With liberal credit extended by FIS, multi folder job opportunities thrown by IT Industry, heavy engineering, infrastructure, automotive, petrochemical and other sectors, the earning capacity of young generation stands increase 10 50 times prompting them to own 4 wheelers with in the short span of their employment. Both Central & State Governments huge expanded rapidly the highways and state ways making regulated, easy, maneuverability, more friendly roles etc. Owing to these and other implied factors the vehicle population records very high and steady growth year after year so the need from clean and cheap auto fuel.

Because of territorial disadvantages in the south for the time being limitation is there to establish natural gas and compression distribution, networking and so Auto LPG scope a better position as the ideal next best fuel to petrol. Establishment of ALDSs along with inland and port storages of ALPG has the advantages of proven indigenous technology with most of the machinery equipment instrumentation etc are either locally manufactured or easily and readily available at reasonable cost. Enough technical expertise is also available to ensure the regulations and safety aspects involved in establishment and operation takes proud riders seat. Availability of LPG is also comparatively better than other costlier petro products the project cost is also more reasonable enabling entrepreneur to get his return with in a span of 3 to 5 years. The factors listed above amply registered viability of the projects promoted by a promising operator.

b) Technical Feasibility:
Around 70 % of ALPG requirement is met by indigenous processing refining, cracking and other methods; with more and more gas findings and explorations in off and on the shores, the percentage is bound to increase.. More over the big players in the field like ONGC, GAIL, Reliance, Total OIL, SuperGas, Indian oil PETRONAS and other international giants have very big plans to expand their global operations and bring economical gas findings and processings , to ensure the cost within a contained rate. Indians are fore runners in extraction , process, refining , distilling, disintegrating, distributing and other engineering practices with huge resourceful skilled technical backup and mostly wanted throughout the world , middle east and other oil rich countries with their inventions , motivations etc. Creation of port storage for liquid cargo including hazardous and inflammable ones is also a most favorite dish in Indian petrochemical scenario therefore abundant technical expertise is available locally insuring speedier , economical and safe growth in this sector.

Machinery, Equipment, installation etc required can also be easily procured without much hustles as a sizeable brands are available with technological supervisee. In the context of huge and increasing investment we received both from national and international sources, Government findings aids from WB etc, there is keen activity in creation and development of mainly required infrastructure, India is only competing with most advanced countries in promotion of more ports and establish facilities to handle and store large volume of liquid cargo petrochemical, gas etc in huge quantities spread over through out the east and west coastal lines. India is also more familiar with ALDSs in the near past 15 years ; a dozen companies have come in with operational licenses and an equal amount of engineering excellence is also established in the installation process as well. All these are summaries to convenience that we have enough resources to promote the Business successfully with total safety strictly adhering to all regulations in letter and spirit.

c) Profitability:
For installing a medium sized ALDS with 1995 Liter i.e., 10 M.T storage Single dispenser with dual nozzles and other standard facilities is Estimated to cost an entrepreneur around Rs. 60 70 lacks. The installation will become operational with in 6 to 7 months including all approvals and Licenses. Average requirement of ALPG per station will be around 1500 2500 liters per day to begin with and may go up to 3 times on the basis gaining momentum. There will be margin of minimum of Rs.2 / Liter. Income towards the marketing of other products like lubricants, conversion kits, utilities as ancillary services in a medium grade town will fetch a lump sum of around Rs.1000 / day minimum, the administrative and other expenses per station cannot exceed Rs.1.0 lacks per month including interest on investment.

Therefore it is evident that a franchisee entrepreneur gets a steady income and return from his investment right from second year continuously in an increasing manner. As an operator, the Bharati Autogas company is also bound to get stepped up income in the increasing sale of ALPG, Installation of infrastructure, AMC, storage of product and related trade income from other merchandise promoted through the stations.

Conclusion:
The Bharati Autogas, company enjoys all infrastructural expertise, good marketing support, ideal location advantage skilled technicians and man power , guidance from the team of experts for training , resourceful and enthusiastic young management team, good relationship with FIS and local administration very good supplier, customer and client base etc. We aim to achieve the goals and set reach the target easily with the increase in number of ALDSs year after year and higher corresponding demand for ALPG in the growth oriented scenario and with the strength of augmented storage potential propose to create, the company will have Strong and phenomenal growth prospects. Cash line is sufficient to repay the loan obligations and maintain sustained growth. With the above salient aspects the project is more feasible in its totality.
