1 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA

The Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME support program.

Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into consideration other important aspects including finance, marketing, technology and human resource development.

SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical instruments, transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation.

Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better way.

This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make well-informed investment decisions.

2 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT

3 CRUCIAL FACTORS & STEPS IN DECISION MAKING FOR INVESTMENT

33..11 KKeeyy SSuucccceessss FFaaccttoorrss

Following factors are the key in making this project profitable:

Location of the project will play a pivotal role in the successful running of the CNG station. The daily turnover of the cars largely depends on this important factor.

Selection of proper equipment is another key for carrying out the successful operations of the proposed project.

33..22 OOppppoorrttuunniittiieess

The proposed project would have a number of competitive advantages:

The project will provide cheaper fuel to its customers compared to the petroleum products which are already on the higher side.

Government has exempted the imposition of sales tax and custom duties on the import of CNG kits and CNG plant and equipment,

HDIP, a non-profitable organization working under the umbrella of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, provides consultancy services to the interested parties for setting up the CNG filling stations.

33..33 TThhrreeaattss

The proposed project will be facing the following threat:

Market saturation over a longer period of time due to a large number of entrants Threat of increase in the prices of the natural gas by the government

4 PROJECT PROFILE

44..11 OOppppoorrttuunniittyy RRaattiioonnaallee

Due to the environment friendly nature and low cost of natural gas, Hydrocarbon Development Institute of Pakistan (HDIP) has recognized the need and necessity to promote the use of CNG as a fuel in automobiles. HDIP has pioneered the use of environment friendly CNG in road transport as an economically viable fuel, which can substitute the imported petroleum products.

44..22 PPrroojjeecctt BBrriieeff

The business of CNG filling station has marked its place in the country through growth during the last few years. This growth has opened up new opportunities and more CNG filling stations are being setup all over Pakistan. The prime reason for this is the low cost of the fuel. Along with that, CNG fuel is less hazardous to the environment as compared to the traditional petroleum fuel.

44..33 IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo CCNNGG

Natural Gas is one of the most valuable natural resources abundantly available in our country. The people of Pakistan have been using the petroleum products as a fuel in their automobiles, thus spending a huge amount of foreign exchange on import of petroleum products. Moreover, the Government of Pakistan has taken certain concrete steps in order to promote the use of natural gas as a fuel substitute in the automobiles. Due to the efforts made by the Government and comparatively low prices of gas, more than 600,000*

vehicles have already been converted to operate on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fueling system all over Pakistan.Due to high cost of petroleum products, lots of vehicles are switching over to CNG. At present, there are more than 6701 CNG stations operating in the Country and this number is insufficient to meet the rising demand of CNG in the coming years.The total project cost for setting up the CNG filling stations has been estimated at Rs.31.13 million. It includes land, building, CNG equipment and machinery, spares, along with the preliminary expenses and working capital.Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is produced when the natural gas is compressed into cylinders to be used as a fuel in the automobiles. The compressed natural gas has been used as an automobile fuel since 1940, and over the years, the technology has been modified and refined. In the recent years, the usage of CNG as an automobile fuel has significantly increased because of its low cost and environment friendly nature.

The proposed legal structure of the business entity is either sole proprietorship or partnership. Although selection totally depends upon the choice of the entrepreneur but this financial feasibility is based on a Sole Proprietorship.

44..55 PPrroojjeecctt CCoosstt

The cost of project has been estimated as Rs.31.13 million including land, civil works, CNG equipment and office equipment. Preliminary expenses and gas security charges are estimated at Rs.0.82 million and Rs.1.8 million respectively. The CNG equipment comprises of gas compressor, dual hose dispenser, electric control panel, and storage cascades/cylinders.

A minimum of 202 cars is required to be filled daily in order to operate at breakeven. Considering the market trends and number of vehicles being converted into CNG fueling system, initially the project would be able to attract and serve at-least 202 vehicles per day.

44..77 PPrrooppoosseedd CCaappaacciittyy

The equipment for CNG filling station that has been considered for preparing this pre-feasibility study is of British origin. This equipment is relatively more efficient and effective of the all types of equipment available in the market. Various other types of equipment are also available at a lower price. The chosen equipment is capable of refueling 50 vehicles per hour. Twin hose dispenser accompanies this equipment and it handles refueling of two vehicles at a time.

44..88 PPrrooppoosseedd LLooccaattiioonn

The proposed locations for the CNG Filling stations in Lahore are as follows Multan Road, Lahore Wapda Town, Lahore Model Town, Link Road, Lahore Johar Town, PIA Colony

The said project may also be established in commercial area of any other city.

44..99 CCNNGG PPoolliiccyy

The Government of Pakistan has offered number of incentives for encouraging the use of CNG in the country. Some of these are summarized below:

Strong Government commitment to promote usage of CNG

Liberal policy of providing license for CNG retailing

Deregulated market price of CNG (for the consumers)

Priority of providing natural gas connection to CNG stations

Exemption of import duty and sales tax till June 2005 on import of machinery and equipment, CNG kits and cylinders

HDIP is also offering consultancy services to the investors, which include the whole range of activities like formation of company, selection of site, legal formalities, design of station, specifications of the equipment, selection of equipment, selecting and appointing the contractor, training of manpower, commissioning and supervision, etc.

5 MARKET ANALYSIS

The commercial application of CNG technology now forms an important element of Government’s petroleum policy, which is reflected in the efforts made by the government for installing 670 CNG stations in the country and converting 600,000 vehicles on CNG fueling system till February 2005.

55..11 TTaarrggeett CCuussttoommeerrss

The target customers for the proposed project would be the vehicles running on CNG fuel.

55..22 MMaarrkkeett DDeemmaanndd

At present there are more than 600,000 vehicles, which have been converted to CNG fuel, and a large number of vehicles are further being converted.

Due to the increasing prices of petroleum products, the trend of converting cars to CNG fueling system has been on a rise. However, there exist a large number of people who were reluctant to convert their vehicles from petrol to gas due to safety concerns. Recently, many car manufacturers have started manufacturing the cars with built-in CNG fueling system. This change has led to enhancing the confidence in the minds of the general public regarding the safety concerns, and now, more people are inclined towards purchasing these factory-fitted CNG fueling system cars.

55..33 MMaarrkkeett SSuuppppllyy

Total number of CNG stations in Pakistan is only 670, which is quite low for meeting the growing demand of CNG. Apart from these 670 CNG stations, many new CNG stations are being setup across the country.

55..44 IInndduussttrryy GGrroowwtthh

There has been a tremendous growth in the CNG sector over the yeas. The total number of vehicles on CNG was 100,000 and CNG filling stations was 150 at the end of year 2000. The number of CNG vehicles and CNG filling stations has increased to 210,000 vehicles

Different gas pressures are available in different areas of Pakistan from the main gas supply line. The pressure of 15 PSIG is not easily available at every location. Where the gas pressure of 15 PSIG is not available, in that situation, the model with inlet pressure of 8 PSIG is used, which has been manufactured to operate at a lower gas pressure. However, the consumption of electricity increases.The total capacity of the selected equipment is 400M3/Hr with a total power load of 93 KW.

All the CNG filling station equipment is foreign manufactured and imported on the specific requirement of the sponsor by the authorized agent. Usually, the equipment is delivered within 12 to 16 weeks from the receipt of purchase order and initial payment. The details of this equipment and accessories are available in Annexure # 1.1.1.

The cost of land is the major portion of investment in this project. If any investor does not have enough resources for the acquisition of land, he/she also has another alternative course of action to setup the CNG station without acquiring the land.

The investor can make investments only in the purchase of CNG plant and equipment and install this equipment with any existing petrol pump. In this case, the investment for installing the CNG equipment will be made by the investor and the space will be provided by the dealer/owner of the existing petrol pump. The investor will pay 15% commission on the total revenue to the dealer/owner of the petrol pump. Moreover, the investor can also avail lease facility from any leasing company on the purchase of CNG plant and equipment.
