Primary Research
To authenticate the initial results arrived at from secondary research, industry experts were
normally consulted over the phone and in person, too. All of this resulted in a better
understanding and appreciation of the dynamics of the market. While these aforementioned
sources spoke on the condition of anonymity, their views were considered as of the coming
from a sample and collated with secondary and primary research findings. We have also
conducted detailed on ground due diligence to get a complete informed picture about the
companies in question. Due to the peculiarity of the market analyzed and the difficulties in
finding but some specific information we were constrained to make some adjustments, and
to go by estimates for some of the variables. This was done in the absence of wholly
accurate data which could be fully relied on and was instead based on a reflection or
assessments of the current market trends.
CAVEAT
Our projections are based on the market conditions prevailing at the time of our fieldwork.
We reserve the right to amend our projection, should any abnormal conditions, subsequently
arise, in the market arena.

2. PROJECT DETAILS
2.1 ABOUT THE PROJECT
M/s Xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx. is coming up with RMC Plant in Sector KP-5 of Grater
Noida (U.P) over an area of 5500 square meters with a working capacity of 75000 cubic
meters per annum. That land was earlier being used for RMC Plant, so there are some old
structures like storage rooms, ramps, office block etc. built there which will be required to
be repaired, renovated and furnished. All these procurement and installation of equipments
is expected to take about one month’s time and commercial production is expected to
commence by July 2011.
The plant is being established on a plot of land close to Main Road. The said plot of land is
owned by Mr. Ishtar Singh. He has already executed rent agreement with the company and
the same has been duly registered. The monthly rent to be paid by the company is Rs. 50,000
per month with an annual increase of 20%.

owned by Mr. Ishtar Singh and has been given on rent to the company for a rent of Rs. 50,000
per month with an annual increase of 20%. The period of rent agreement is 84 months. It has
been duly registered with the authorities.
2.2.2 Construction & other setting up exp. (Rs. 20 lacs)
As explained earlier, the land has some old ramps, storage rooms and office blocks already
built upon it. They will be required to be repaired, renovated or furnished as per the
requirements. Further, other expenses like EB etc. will also be required. It is proposed that
it will take about Rs. 20 lacs for all the above activities. Considering the land area and kind
of development required, this amount seems reasonable.
2.2.3 PLANT AND MACHINERY (Rs. 379.91 Lacs)

The company has already invited quotations for all of the above items and discussions
regarding lead time and installation time has also been finalized.
2.2.4 WORKING CAPITAL (Rs.220.00 Lacs)
This kind of plant requires higher Working Capital requirements because in the initial period,
suppliers do not allow credit to new entrants. Further, due to heavy fluctuation in the price
of cement, it is always viable to keep reasonable stock of the same. Further, being a new
company, customers will have to be given some credit as an incentive or motivation to buy.
All this will result into higher investment in working capital.
The Company is expecting
debtors and stock as on 31st March 2012 as Rs.137.50 Lac & 87.17 Lacs respectively.
2.3 MEANS OF FINANCE
The project cost of Rs.619.91 is proposed to be financed through a mix of debt & equity. The

3. INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
3.1 RMC INDUSTRY
Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC) offers high-tech solutions to the needs of the public works and
construction industries. It allows these industries to build ever-longer bridges, ever-higher
buildings, tunnels, dams, etc. It allows architects to give free rein to their artistic
imagination. Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a ready-to-use material, with predetermined
mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water. RMC is a type of concrete manufactured in a
factory according to a set recipe or as per specifications of the customer, at a centrally
located batching plant. It refers to concrete made in industrial facilities called ready-mix
plants, is made on demand and, if necessary, is shipped to worksites by concrete mixer
trucks.
Ready Mix Concrete was first patented in Germany in 1903; its commercial delivery was not
possible due to lack of transportation needs. The first commercial delivery was made in
Baltimore, USA in 1913. The first Revolving Drum Type Transit Mixer was developed in 1926.
In 1931, an RMC plant was set up for the construction of Heathrow airport, London. In the
mid 90’s there were about 1100 RMC plants in UK consuming about 45% of cement produced
in that country. By 1997, in Europe there were 5850 companies producing a total of 305
million cusecs of RMC.
In USA by 1990, around 72% (more than 2/3rd) of cement produced was being used by various
RMC plants. In Japan the first RMC plant was set up in 1949. By 1992, Japan was the then
largest producer of RMC producing about 18,196 million tons of concrete.
In many other countries of the world including some of the developing countries like Taiwan,
Malaysia etc, RMC industry is well developed.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 18
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
The leading RMC supplier worldwide is the Mexican Concrete and cement company CEMEX,
and their main competitor is France-based Lafarge.
Though RMC was invented in the world a century ago, it entered INDIA only in 70s. Initially it
was used for in-house purposes only. RMC business in India started very late and is still in its
primitive stage. Demand for RMC is comparatively less and concrete material is used in a
most unorganized manner in our country. The usage of Ready Mix Concrete that is available
to the general public has increased rapidly in the last decade. In the late 80s, after cement
was fully de-controlled, RMC was manufactured on a commercial basis. There are about 85
RMC plants in existence in the country manufacturing 37 lakh cubic metre /pa. According to
the sources, Ready-Mix Concrete Industries, Pune established the first plant in 1993 (on a
commercial basis). ACC set up their RMC plant in 1994. However, with the growing
acceptance and usage of RMC, more plants are in the setting-up phase across the country.
At present, in USA, Ready Mix Concrete Industry consumes 75 per cent of the cement
produced, whereas in India, only 5 per cent of the cement produced is being used by Ready
Mix Concrete producers. Even China, Malaysia and Thailand use 15 to 50 percent of cement
produced for RMC. In Sri Lanka, Ready Mix Concrete is mandatory in all multistoried projects.
Greatest advantage of RMC is that it can be produced in tune with the design requirements
specified by the clients. Batch after batch, one will get the same quality concrete.
Specialized concrete- fiber reinforced concrete mostly used for pre-casting to minimize
shrinkage, coloured concrete for specific purpose, concrete using fly ash, slack or microsilica, which makes concrete a better product, tough impermeable building material, can be
made available for small and medium projects. With advanced technology, quality control is
possible at each level. With better and hi-tech equipments, efficiency has been increased.
According to U.K. Manufacturer Ready Mix Micro-silica slurry, though it is four times costlier,
RMC is estimated to last 10 times longer. RMC equipments give better production at the
lesser cost and latest innovations are towards saving of environment and natural resources.
Considering the backlog in housing and infrastructure, the potential demand for RMC is huge.

In all the construction works, need of the hour is RMC. Public sector units, Bhabha Atomic
Research Centre, Municipal Corporations and other organizations started using RMC.
3.2 WHY RMC
Concrete is one of the major components of a structure, particularly a multistoried
structure, where in accounts for 30%-50% of the total cost. The quality of concrete has also
a very direct bearing a on the strength and durability of the structure as a whole. It is in this
context that RMC assumes relevance.
Few things are more aggravating to produce on a worksite than concrete. Bags of cement,
sand, aggregate (gravel) and possibly other additives must be delivered to the constructions
area. A supply of clean water is also necessary along with a rented concrete mixing hopper.
Even after all the dusty and heavy ingredients have been loaded into the Hooper, one small
error in wet/dry ratio can render an entire batch of concrete unusable.
One common
solution to this messy and time consuming problem is “READY MIX CONCRETE”
RMC is specialized material in which the cement aggregates and other ingredients are weighbatched at a plant in a central mixer or truck mixer, before delivery to the construction site
in a condition ready for placing by the builder. Thus, ‘fresh’ concrete is manufactured in a
plant away from the construction site and transported within the requisite journey time. The
RMC supplier provided two services, firstly one of processing the materials for making fresh
concrete and secondly, of transporting a product within a short time.
This enables the places of manufacture and use of concrete being separated and linked by
suitable transport operation. This technique is useful in congested sites or at diverse work
places and saves the consumer from the hassles of procurement, storage and handling of
concrete materials. Ready mix concrete is produced under factory conditions and permits a
close control of all operation of manufacture and transportation of fresh concrete. Due to
its durability, low cost and its ability to be customized for different applications, ready mix
concrete is one of the most versatile and popular building materials.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 20
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
RMC is usually ordered in units of cubic yards or meters. The use of the RMC is facilitated
through a truck mounted boom placer that can pump the product for ready use at
multistoried construction sites. A boom placer can pump the concrete up to 80 meters. It
must remain in motion until it is ready to be poured, or the cement may begin to solidify.
The RMC concrete is generally released from the hopper in a relatively steady stream
through a tough system. Workers use shovels and hoes to push the concrete into place.
RMC is generally looked upon as a costly product rather than a facility to get an appropriate
quality product on site as and when required. The first cost of RMS may seem higher.
However, there are several hidden advantages which can cause considerable reduction in
cost to the owner. Since they cannot be accurately determined, they are ignored while
evaluating the cost of RMC over site mixed produced concrete.
Various advantages associates with using of RMC are as under:
Generally speaking, quality of concrete will be superior than site mixed concrete.
However it will greatly depend on the control and checks exercised at site and RMC
producer’s plant

There is a considerable wastage of materials on site due to poor storage conditions
and repeated shifting of the mixer location. This is prevented if RMC is used.

In most cities, the plot area is barely sufficient to store reinforcement steel, form
work, concrete and other construction materials. Using RMC can cause less congestion

Obtaining RMC at site can reduce supervision and labour cost which would otherwise
be required for batching and mixing of concrete at site.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 21
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.

Many sites in cities, house their work force on the site itself to reduce the time and
cost of daily travel. This creates unsafe and unhygienic conditions on the site as well
as for the surrounding areas. This will reduce to a certain extent if RMC is utilized.

Fluctuation of raw material prices and their and availability has always caused delays
and problems of inventory and storage for site producers of concrete. This is totally
avoided when RMC is used.

Availability of labour gang intermittently has always posed problems to concrete
producers on site. This can now be avoided. Besides these labour gangs are difficult
to supervise and control as they are only interested in completing the concreting
operations as fast as possible.
This results in addition of excess water and
inadequacies in batching/mixing.

A problem of inspection, checking and resting of all concrete materials on site is
avoided. However, to a certain extent these checks and tests may be required to be
done at RMC producers’ plant.

Concrete mix design and its control due to variations of materials properties is
avoided as RMC producers are responsible for the same and supply concrete as
specified by the purchaser as per the requirements of the construction site.

In public places it creates fewer nuisances. Congested roads and footpaths are often
blocked by carelessly stored concrete materials. RMC allows a much better flow of
road traffic as well as pedestrian movement.


It improves the environment and around the site. Nuisance due to stone dust and
cement particles is reduced considerably. To a certain extent even noise pollution is
reduced.

The modern RMC plants have an automatic arrangement to measure surface moisture
in aggregates this greatly helps in controlling the water to cement ratio (w/c) which
result in correct strength and durability.

RMC plants have proper facilities to store and accurately batch concrete admixtures
(chemical and mineral).
To improve properties of concrete both in plastic and in
hardened stage this accuracy is useful.

In general, RMC plants have superior and accurate batching arrangements than the
weigh batchers used on site.RMC plants have superior mixers than the rotating drum
mixers generally used for mixing concrete materials at site

RMC plants have efficient batching and mixing, facilities which improves both quality
and speed of concrete production.

Temperature control of concrete in extreme weather conditions can be exercised in a
much better manner than done at site.


RMC helps encourage mechanization and new technologies like pumped concrete bulk
transportation of cement production of self compacting concrete and high strength
high performance concrete.
DISADVANTAGES OF ON SITE MIXED CONCRETE
Normally the concrete operation is carryout in India is of site mixed, which is having some
hindrance which is shown below:

Quality Assurance not guaranteed.

Constant control on aggregates for size, shape & grading not exercised on site.

Arbitrary batching and mixing by volume. Strict water-cement ratio not exercised.

Wastage of materials.

Retarded speed.

Possible break down of mixers.

Concreting operations prolonged beyond day light without proper lighting.

Manual operation.

Speed restricted depending on mixers.

3.3 RMC INDUSTRY IN INDIAN SCENARIO & GROWTH POTENTIAL
Though delayed, but not very much, there a ready mixed concrete industry is
developing and expanding at a fast pace in the country on a large scale. Over the period, due
impetus to this development has been provided by various front-line construction and
cement companies as well as technological bodies. The World Bank's “ India Cement industry
Restructuring Project" under which a technical study report on the development of market
for bulk cement in India was made in 1996 , proved to be positive development towards
modernization of cement distribution system in India, including setting up Ready mix
concrete Plants.
According to Cement Manufacturers Association, RMC is being increasingly
recommended for all major public construction work such as highways, flyovers. In cities like
Bangalore and Chennai, even small house builders have started displaying a marked
preference for RMC instead of cement. According to the experts, there is lot of scope for
the development and growth of RMC in India. It can grow to consume4 0 - 4 5 percent of
cement by 2015 through setting up of RMC plants in various consumption centers. For the
healthy growth of industry, RMC industry in India has to fine-tune its own practices to
following practices elsewhere in the advanced countries where RMC industry has been
operating successfully. European Ready Mixed Concrete Organization (ERMCO) has defined
the broad objectives to be achieved in design, management and operation of RMC which
remain same as that of designing, and execution of concrete construction projects. The
marketing of RMC should no more be in terms of strength grades. Appropriate environmental
safety and health regulations for the working force need to be kept in mind in the
management and operation of RMC.

3.4 Why Noida
We chose to set up a RMC plant in Greater Noida due to its close proximity and easy
connectivity, via a modern eight –lane expressway to Delhi. Greater Noida is well located
within the NCR and adjacent to Noida, which is Asia’s largest industrial and modern
township. In recent years, Greater Noida has emerged as a dream destination for commercial
& residential development due to pre-planning and futuristic infrastructural planning. Home
to some of the top brands like Hyundai, Honda, Videocon, Daewoo, Yamaha, LG, Wipro,
Moser Bear, etc., it is set to get a further development boost due to the Commonwealth
Games in 2010, The advantages of Grater Noida do not end here. As on date There are
several mega projects on the anvil, including IT parks, Toy City, Apparel park, Software Park,
SEZ with 100% E.O.U. a frozen food complex, a Night Safari Park etc. Plans are also on the
anvil for mass rapid transit system, inland container depots, new international airport which
is further attracting big businesses and an international lifestyle.
4. TECHNICAL FEASIBILTY
4.1 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The company has hired a plot of land at a strategic location. The location advantages of the
proposed RMC project is the vicinity of numerous real estate project such Nirala Estate,
Amrapali Leisure Valley, Paramount Emotions, Super tech Eco Village etc. They all are large
projects. Further, there are number of other projects which are in launching stage. Further
the area of Noida, Greater Noida and NH-24, Ghaziabad is witnessing an unprecedented
growth in real estate and construction sector. In this area, you will find a new project being
coming up virtually every half a kilometer.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 27
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
4.2 FACTORS BEHIND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
Technical viability of RMC project housing has been taken to depend on the ability of the
project to attain a competitive advantage on the following two rather inter-dependent
market factors:

Timely completion and ability to keep costs & quality under control

Ability to offer competitive rates & market its products well to obtain competitive
edge.
With 6 mega cities, 23 metropolitan cities and almost 4000 large and towns, India is facing a
construction boom.
Cement consumption has crossed 120 million tonnes per annum.
Unfortunately, most of this cement is used to make concrete n very small, primitive, on site
mixers’ this results in large-scale pollution, wastage of cement and low quality output. The
resultant construction is weak, sensitive to weather and has a short life. This is criminal
waste of our country’s limited resources. It is therefore essential that on site mixing be
banned and RMC made mandatory for all construction work. The reduction in pollution and
improvement in quality that will take place as a result, will more than offset any problems
such orders may cause.
A ready mix concrete plant is a permanent installation with mechanical handling for the
storage, proportioning & mixing of materials. The location, size of the plant & layout are
governed by a number of considerations, depending upon local conditions which require
careful study before the design and construction of the plant are undertaken.
4.2.1 LOCATION ADVANTAGES
In the operation of a RMC concern, the transportation of the concrete to the site of the
job is generally one of the most expensive items & the RMC plant should, as far as possible,
be situated in the centre of the market. This may be difficult proposition in a very large
cities where works requiring. RMC may be situated beyond the economical radius for
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 28
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
operations. In such cases; it may prove more economical to operate two or more small
plants, spread out to reduce the length of the haul, than to concentrate production in a
single large plant.
Another important consideration in the selection of a site is the facility of delivery of
materials to the plant. Location near the rail-head, from which a siding can be constructed
to the plant, would be more advantages in unloading the materials direct from the wagons to
their respective stockpiles.
The plant is located at a strategic site in Sector KP-5 in Greater Noida opposite Gautam Budh
Balak Inter College. It is very nearby sector 1 of Noida whereby Supertech’s Eco Village and
Paramount’s Emotions are under development. It is very well connected to roads network
and National Highway. Further other developers are like Gardenia, Ajnara, Mahagun, Sikka
and other developers are coming with the various residential & commercial projects in
nearby areas.
4.2.2 SIZE OF PLANT/PROPOSED FACILITIES
The size of plant will depend chiefly on the potential demand for which the plant has to
cater. This in turn is dependent upon the quality of concrete construction carried out in a
town or city.
Towns & cities undergoing a critical housing storage or those which are in the process of
industrial expansion would naturally provide a fruitful field for RMC operation.
However, with increasing confidence amongst architects, engineers, contractors & the public
in a product of guaranteed quality & offered at rates which are competitive enough to
induce the adoption of RMC in preference to site-mixed concrete, the demand will soar. The
size should, therefore, be selected taking into account potential future increase in
production.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 29
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
The company will be having plant with the installed capacity of 60 cubic meters per hour.
However, for all practical purposes, it will be around 50 cubic meters per hour. Further
company will also be buying 7 transit mixers which will be used for delivering RMC to
customer locations. ACC has already established its RMC Plant in nearby area which is
evident of demand of RMC in this area.
4.2.3 LAYOUT:
The plant layout should be so arranged that it satisfies that it satisfies the following
considerations: firstly, it ensures the maximum efficiency in operation; secondly, it provides
adequate space for the storage of materials & thirdly, it does not hamper future expansion.
For faster operation & in order to reduce the traffic hazard within the plant, a one way
traffic should be adopted with vehicles entering & leaving from separate gateways & the
equipment being so arranged that the truck-mixers collect first the dry materials from the
weigh-batchers, then the water, and make a direct exit into the street. In order to further
reduce the amount of driving all the weighing equipment should preferably be located near
the front of the site or to close to the street exit, leaving the rear for the receipt and the
storage of materials.
The unloading & stockpiling of aggregates should be as close as possible to the overhead
compartment bins so that a minimum length of conveyer belts is required. Besides reducing
the initial investment it will afford faster operation & a reduction in production cost.
Adequate space for the stockpiling of materials is very necessary to meet with the irregular
supply of cement & aggregates. This calls for the provision of sufficient space to
accommodate the storage of materials to provide for a reserve stock of cement & aggregates
equivalent to 7-10 days normal consumption.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 30
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
4.3 MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR RMC:
4.3.1Admixtures:
A substance added to the basic concrete to alter one or more properties of the concrete, i.e.
fibrous materials for reinforcing, water repellent treatment and colouring compounds.

Air-entrainment admixtures (mainly used in concrete exposed to freezing and thawing
cycles)

Water reducing admixtures ,plasticisers ( reduce the dosage of water while
maintaining the workability)

Retarding the admixtures(mainly used in hot weather to retard the reaction of
hydration)

Super plasticiser or high range water reducer(significantly reduce the dosage of water
while maintaining the workability)

Miscellaneous admixtures such as corrosion inhabiting, shrinkage reducing, colouring,
pumping etc.
4.3.2 Cement:
It is a Dry powder that reacts chemically with water to bind the particles of aggregate
forming concrete. Portland cement is typically used in concrete production.
4.3.3 Aggregate:
Inert particles (i.e. gravel, sand, and stone) added to cement and water to form concrete.
4.3.4 Fly Ash:
Fly ash is a byproduct of coal fired electricity generating power plants. Mainly composed of
combustible elements such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (nitrogen and sulfur being minor
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 31
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
elements), and non-combustible impurities (10 to 40%) usually present in the form of clay,
shale, quartz, feldspar and limestone. As the coal travels through the high-temperature zone
in the furnace, the combustible elements of the coal are burnt off, whereas the mineral
impurities of the coal fuse and chemically recombine to produce various crystalline phases of
the molten ash. The molten ash is entrained in the flue gas and cools rapidly, when leaving
the combustion zone (e.g. from 1500°C to 200°C in few seconds), into spherical, glassy
particles. Most of these particles fly out with the flue gas stream and are therefore called fly
ash.
The fly ash is then collected in electrostatic precipitators or bag houses and the fineness of
the fly ash can be controlled by how and where the particles are collected.
4.4 METHOD OF PRODUCTIONS / TYPES OF BATCHING PLANTS
There are basically two principal categories of ready mix concrete
4.4.1Centrally Mixed Concrete or Wet batch mix
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 32
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
In central mixing, both the operations of proportioning & mixing are carried out at a
batching plant & deliver the mixed concrete to the site in an agitator truck, which keeps the
mix concrete in correct form.
In case of centrally mixed type, the drum carrying the concrete revolves slowly so as to
prevent the mixed concrete from “segregation” & prevent its stiffening due to initial set.
Central mixing is resorted to when there is likely to be a considerable period lag between
the time of mixing and the time of placing. With agitation a maximum of one and half hours
between mixing & placing can be allowed.
Another important consideration in favour of central mixing method is the fact that more
concrete can be transported in a single trip when the truck-mixer is used as an agitator. The
effect of this is to reduce the transportation charges, all other factors being equal.
In Centrally mixed concrete, the mixing is done at a central plant & the mixed concrete is
then transported usually in the truck agitator truck which revolves slowly so as to prevent
segregation and undue stiffening of the mix.
4.4.2 Truck mixed concrete or dry batch concrete plant
In Transit Mixing, the dry materials are proportioned at the RMC plant, the water being
added & the mixing done en route to the job in a truck mixer, which essentially consists of a
mixer drum mounted on a conventional chassis. Power for rotating the drum is obtained
either from the truck engine or from an independent petrol engine. The truck mixer is
provided with a water supply tank with equipment for measuring the quality of water
entering the drum, & a revolution counter indicating the extent of mixing.
As soon as the mixer drum is charged with its complete batch of materials from the batching
plant, the truck proceeds to the concrete pouring point, the mixing operation taking place
en route, the water level and the mixing controls being operated by the driver; where the
length of the haul is long, delivery of freshly mixed concrete is assured by starting the mixing
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 33
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
operation towards the end of the haul. On arrival at the worksite, the concrete is discharged
over detachable chutes into receptacles or directly on to the forms.
4.5 TYPES OF PRODUCTION PLANTS
4.5.1 VERTICAL PRODUCTION PLAN
In this the aggregates are store above the batching and mixing elements, in one or more
silos. These plants are not suitable for relocation at short intervals of time. As the
aggregates are stored in silos it is relatively easy to protect the aggregates from very low
temperature in winter period.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 34
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
Figure: Schematic view of the Vertical Batching Mixing Plant with vertical aggregate and
cement Storage silos
4.5.2 HORIZONTAL PRODUCTION PLANT
They can be again broadly classified into four types.
1) Star pattern aggregate storage
2) Storage in tall silo
3) Storage in Pocket silo
4) Inline aggregate storage silos.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 35
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
Figure: Schematic view of the Horizontal Batching mixing plant with the star pattern
aggregate
storage bins at the rear & vertical storage silos.
The star bin storage of aggregates is most popular in India mainly because of climate
conditions. The aggregates can be stored exposed to ambient temperature in different
compartments forming a star type pattern. A storage capacity of upto 1500 cum is possible
in this type. The star pattern aggregates are stored in four to six compartments. They are
bulked at a 45 degree flow angle against the batching plant’s bulk head and partition wall of
the compartments using a boom type drag-line loader. The drag-line operations are either
fully manual, semi automatic or fully automatic.
The star bin type plant requires more space and as the aggregates are stored in open they
heat up at high ambient temperatures and freeze at very low temperatures. These types of
plants are not suitable in extreme weather conditions.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 36
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
In silo type additional investment for loading equipment such as hopper, bucket elevator or
conveyor belt plus rotary distribution are required. They have large active storage (upto 500
cum) in a small area. Loading is fully automatic, aggregates are well protected in extreme
climatic conditions and storage is very clean.
Figure: Horizontal Batching Mixing Plant with vertical aggregates & cement silos
Xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxx. is planning to set up the silos method of plant. This type of
plant provides advantages over other production method like; it minimizes wastage saving
production cost. In this plant the effect of weather conditions are rendered negligible or
minimized and since the weather conditions in Noida is of extreme of nature, it is conducive
to implement this method of plant making it cost effective in long run. Also loading is fully
automatic so saving cost in terms of labour and precious time.
4.6. STATIC EQUIPMENT:
The static equipment required for RMC plant can be divided into the following categories:

Equipment for unloading aggregates & cement, stockpiling them in their respective
storage areas &
elevating them into the overhead compartment bins.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 37
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.

Overhead compartment bins for storing cement & various sizes of sand, Coarse
aggregates with weigh-batchers for accurate proportioning & discharge chutes.

Water storage tank.

Stationery mixers for central mixing plants

Office building and Testing Laboratory
4.6.1 UNLOADING, STOCKPILING AND ELEVATING MATERIALS:Aggregates may be delivered to the plant in railway wagons, Lorries or in barges if the plant
is sited near a water-front. Arrangements for unloading the materials may be either
mechanical or manual, but mechanical handling is invariably adopted for elevating into the
storage bins.
In case of a fully mechanized system, a crawler crane, derrick or belt conveyors are used for
various operations. A crawler crane or derrick with a clamshell bucket will unload the
aggregates, stockpile them on the ground and place the aggregates into the overhead
compartment bins. In order to perform these operations efficiently the crane or derrick
should have a boom length which can conveniently reach above the tops of overhead storage
bins and the entire layout should be so arranged that only the minimum change in the boom
angle is necessary for any of the operations.
Another arrangement is to install a belt conveyer in a tunnel beneath the aggregate
stockpile with shaker in the roof of the tunnel to control the discharge of various aggregates
on to the conveyer. The conveyer in turn feeds an elevator, which empties the aggregates at
the top of the bin into the appropriate compartment.
The initial investment required for small-sized plant can be effectively cut down by using a
portable belt-conveyer for unloading the aggregates from the wagons and the stockpiling
them on the ground. Transportation of the materials to the bottom of the storage bins is
then done by means of Dobin- type dumpers fitted with pneumatic tyres and having a
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 38
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
capacity of about 1.5cu.yd, from which the materials are tipped into a pit at the foot of the
bin and conveyed up into the compartment by means of an elevator.
When the aggregates are delivered to the plant in Lorries, they are easily unloaded directly
to the stockpile and any of the methods described above can be used for conveying and
elevating into the storage bins.
Cement will generally be delivered to the plant either in bulk or in bags and its storage
under moisture-proof conditions is very essential. Cement can be unloaded from wagons
either by hand-operated scoops or power shovels onto a hopper adjacent to wagon door,
which feeds by means of a screw conveyer a closed-typed bucket elevator the silo or storage
bin in which the cement is kept. Cement can also be unloaded and stored by a portable
pump which forces the cement into the storage bin through a pipe-line.
4.6.2 INLINE BINS:
Inert raw materials like fine & coarse aggregates are stored in bins called as “Inline Bins”
where the trucks carrying fine & coarse aggregate can dump the materials easily. The
aggregates required are fed by the means of aggregate belt conveyer. On the aggregate belt
conveyer the aggregate are weighed automatically by means of computer from computer
room present on the plant.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 39
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
INLINE BINS
4.6.3 SILOS:
Cement & Fly ash are stored in an airtight container called as “Silos”; the required quantity
of cement & Fly ash is extracted by the silos. There are two Cement silos & one silo of Fly
ash. The capacity of cement silo is 2 x 130 tons = 260 tons.
Cement & Fly ash are to feed holding hopper with the help of a screw conveyer. A heavy
duty cement screw conveyer is fixed in inclined position to convey the cement from Manual
Feeding Hopper to Cement Hopper. A suitable drive unit is also provided to drive the screw.
The screw conveyer body and the screw are manufactured from heavy duty ‘C’ class pipe and
the flutes are fabricated from 5mm plate. Running clearances provided between body and
flutes for smooth running. The screw is supported on both ends by bearing and at center by
hanger bearing having renewable hard bush. These bearing can be adjusted with setting nuts
so as to have proper alignment.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 40
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
The screw conveyer is provided with suitable vertical supports. One inlet connection is
provided at the bottom end where manual-feeding hopper is connected & one discharge
connection at the top from where the cement is discharged to cement weighing hopper.
Flexible joint is provided between discharge connection & cement weighing hopper. Two
cleaning pockets, one in the middle and another at the bottom side are also provided for
emergency removal of cement from conveyer.
Weigh-batchers are of many different types. They may be manually or automatically
operated and fitted either with bean scales and tell-tale dial or a spring less full reading
dial.
SILOS
4.6.4 WATER STORAGE:
A RMC plant generally makes provision for adequate storage of water to meet its
requirements for 2 to 3 days. Control over quantity of mixing water is an essential
requirement in concrete making for it bears a direct relation to the strength and quality of
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 41
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
the finished product. Equipment for the accurate measurement of water is, therefore, a
necessary item in any ready mix concrete plant.
The device adopted for the measurement of water will depend upon the method of mixing
and type of mixers. In a central mixing plant, this is introduced into the mixer slightly ahead
of the materials and the apparatus is of necessarily installed near the mixer and at the plant
site. Measurement of correct quantity of water at the plant site can be transit mixing also
when correct amount of water required for a batch of concrete introduced into a
compartment of mixer, and fed into the drum by truck driver during transit.
However, modern truck mixers are equipped with calibrated water gauges and controls for
the introduction of water into drum and responsibility of ensuring the correct measurement
of water then devolves on driver.
6.5 STATIONARY MIXER
The stationary mixer used in central mixing plant is of two types:
 Rotary mixer
 Tilting mixer
In Rotary Mixer, the drum is cylindrical and revolves about a horizontal axis. The drum has an
opening at each end for charging and discharging.
Tilting mixer type is equipped with a conical or bowl shaped drum which revolves on an
inclined axis, the concrete being discharged by tilting of drum.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES

Figure: Cross Sectional View of the Single Shaft Compulsory power mixer
4.6.6 OFFICE BUILDING & TESTING LABORATORY
The provision of an office building to house the staff required for the receipt of orders and
the day to day administration of plant requires no elaborate set up and is made to suit the
requirements of a plant.
A small testing laboratory, equipped with apparatus for the scientific design of concrete
mixers testing of samples to check that specified strength and quality are being achieved is,
however, a necessary adjust to a Ready-Mixed concrete plant.

Figure (A) Fully automatic control panel of a modern mixing plant
(B) Micro Process control System on the modern mixing plant
Almost all imported production plants offer automatic systems for control functions. These
are required for better quality control, higher economy and superior working conditions.
Fully automatic plant control systems with multiple inputs for upto 120 mixes or template
control systems are usually housed in a container or control rooms of the plant. Micro
processor controlled production plants represent the state of the art in the developed
countries.
4.6.7 DELIVERY OF RMC
While ready mixed concrete can be delivered to the point of placement in a variety of ways,
the overwhelming majority of it is brought to the construction site in truck-mounted,
rotating drum mixers. Truck mixers have a revolving drum with the axis inclined to the
horizontal. Inside the shell of the mixer drum are pair of blades or fins that wrap in a helical
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 44
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
(spiral) configuration from the head to the opening of the drum. This configuration enables
the concrete to mix when the drum spins in one direction and causes it to discharge when
the direction is reversed.
To load, or charge, raw materials from a transit mix plant or centrally mixed concrete into
the truck, the drum must be turned very fast in the charging direction. After the concrete is
loaded and mixed, it is normally hauled to the job site with the drum turning at a speed of
less than 2 rpm.
Since its inception in the mid-1920, the traditional truck-mixer has discharged concrete at
the rear of the truck. Front discharge units, however, are rapidly becoming more popular
with contractors. The driver of the front discharge truck can drive directly onto the site and
can mechanically control the positioning of the discharge chute without the help of
contractor personnel. Currently, because of weight laws, the typical truck mixer is a 9 to 11
yd3 unit. The drums are designed with a rated maximum capacity of 63% of the gross drum
volume as a mixer and 80% of the drum volume as an agitator. Generally, ready mixed
concrete producers, load their trucks with a quantity at or near the rated mixer capacity.
Fresh concrete is a perishable product that may undergo slump loss depending on
temperature, time to the delivery point on the job site, and other factors.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES
Page 45
TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
Water should not to be added to the mix unless the slump is less than that which is specified.
If water is added, it should be added all at once and the drum of the truck mixer should be
rotated atleast of 30 revolutions, or about two minutes, at mixing speed.
The ASTM C 94, Specification for Ready Mixed Concrete, indicates that the concrete shall be
discharged on the job site within 90 minutes and before 300 revolutions after water was
added to the cement. The purchaser may waive this requirement, when conditions permit.
In certain situations, air-entraining, water reducing, set-retarding or high-range water
reducing admixtures may need to be added to concrete prior to discharge to compensate for
loss of air, high temperatures or long delivery times. The ready mixed concrete producer will
assist the purchaser in such circumstances.

TECHNO ECONOMIC VIABILITY STUDY ON xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx PVT. LTD.
5. INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR TRUCK MIXTURE:

Each batch of concrete must be mixed not less than 70 and not more than 100
revolutions of the drum.

Agitating speed is usually about 2 to 6 rpm.

Mixing speed is generally about 8 to 12 rpm.

Concrete is to be delivered and unloaded within 1 to 2 hours or before the drum
revolved 300 time after the introduction of water to the cement and aggregate.
6. CLEAN UP EQUIPMENT
Clean all the tools that comes in contact with concrete.

Wash any mud or dirt from the frame of the mixers.

Rinse out the interior of the drum thoroughly.

Clean any hardened concrete from tools or equipment by scraping and wire brushing
to remove.

Hammering on a mixer to loosen concrete is not advisable because this will damage
the drum or the mixer.

Always clean the mixer as soon as possible after use.

A weak vinegar solution (10% acetic acid) is sometimes used to clean the cement film
off the exterior of mixers. Areas cleaned in this manner should be relaxed to protect
the mixer.
J. MAITRA & ASSOCIATES

STRENGTH
The location of the proposed project is in Greater Noida which has evolved as a hub of real
estate development and construction sector. Many large residential and commercial projects
have already come up or are in the process of launching. This will create adequate demand
for RMC supplies. The site for the proposed RMC project is strategically located and is well
connected through roads and national highways. It will ensure smooth, quick and timely
delivery of product at customer locations. The promoters are qualified civil engineers and
very well averse with the technical and other operational requirements of the project .The
promoters have the requisite financial strength and creditworthiness required for executing
the project. Probable Clients are being approached and some of them have been secured
The company has made a road map to emphasis on the following ensure success:
A focused strategy is in place for human resource management and

Quality and quantity shall be given highest concern, which is also the core
development
requirement of the industry. Trained staff and quality control checks shall be in place
and implemented.

To keep with the current competition while giving the best in terms of material and
services, the raw material procurements shall be the key factor. Only quality material
with good rapport and material availability meeting future requirements is contacted.

Keeping a good client database and building a good relationship with the existing
clients.

At par pricing – coming to a reasonable pricing while keeping in control overheads,
losses, resources management & inventory.

Each human resource shall speak out of the company profile – with their attitude,
their knowledge on the subject

WEAKNESS AND MITIGATES:Company is mainly targeting real estate majors as its prospective customers. Any downtrend
in this industry will adversely affect the operations of the company vs. the total industry
effect in this case is since Real estate majors are the largest consumers of RMC supplies.
Further, Real estate industry is also witnessing very high growth which is projected to be
positive the coming years.
Company’s business is affected by the availability, cost and quality of the raw materials.
Principal raw materials include cement, sand and aggregate. The prices and supply of these
and other raw materials depend on factors not under the control of the company since. This
factor is generic to this industry. However, since the demand supply balance is on supply
side, so, company will be able to meet any rise in raw material cost with corresponding rise
in sale prices. Further, the company will be maintaining reasonable stock levels to combat
with short term price fluctuations.
OPPORTUNITIES:The industry is still in infancy stage and there is a large scope in industry and the demand is
much higher than the current supply position. In India, RMC Industry is still in primitive
stage the advantages of greater Noida do not end here. As on date there are several mega
projects on the anvil, including IT parks, Toy City, Apparel Park, Software Park, and SEZ.
Plans are also on the anvil for mass rapid transit system, inland container depots, new
international airport which is further attracting big businesses and an international lifestyle.
There are opportunities for multi fold growth in this industry. As mentioned in earlier part of
this report, in European & East Asian countries, RMC industry is consuming more than 50% of
cement produced.
So, there are chances of seeing high growth levels in this entry. This is
why major cement manufacturers like ACC, J K cement have established or are planning to
establish their RMC plants. Government is constantly encouraging this segment and there is a
proposal to consider tax concession in this sector.

THREATS:
There is threat from Economy - home, abroad but the affect would be a ripple one
and with the advent of new technologies the question arises if the Rmc products will
be able to adapt with the new techniques, services and ideas.

A small change in focus (price) of a large competitor might wipe out any market of the
other player.

Lastly Real estate boom is based upon demand and supply dynamics, which in itself is
unpredictable. Since, this industry is biggest consumer of RMC supplies; any
downtrend in this can affect RMC industry badly

The entry barriers to RMC industry are not being high a large number of new entrants
are expected to enter in the region. Such a scenario results in high competition, the
effects of which are more pronounced during the negative phase of the economic
cycle. Since the company is targeting real estate industry as its main customer, it is
almost sure that its production will be fully consumed. Further, with the experience
of the promoters, the company wishes to establish brand name and reputation and
quality service to enhance customer satisfaction

Current Market Development And Scenario:
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
India has the second largest urban population in the world. It is expected that the urban
population in the world. It is expected that the urban population will rise to constitute 38
percent of total population by 2026.
Urbanization has increased the demand for urban services. In this context, improving the
urban infrastructure covering basic civic services like drinking water supply, sewerage, solid
waste management, and urban infrastructure covering basic civic services like drinking water
supply, sewerage, solid waste management, and urban transport assumes great significance.
Municipal institutions responsible for providing these civic services are facing acute shortage
of capacity and resources.
The eleventh five year plan had and that for urban transport to be 132590 crores and Noida
has a major share in it because it is situated in NCR .According to estimates based on the
city development plans (CDPs) prepared by the states under the Jawaharlal Nehru national
urban renewal mission(jnnurm) launched in 2005-06 , the requirements for both urban
infrastructure services and urban transport were estimated to be as high as 800000 crores.
URBAN TRANSPORT
Urban transport is one of the key elements of urban infrastructure. As compared to private
modes of transport, public transport is energy efficient and less polluting. The public
transport system also helps improve urban-rural linkage and improves access of the
rural/semi-urban population in the periphery to city centre’s for the purpose of labour
supply without proliferation of slums within and around cities.

With the objective of stimulating and mobilizing increased private-sector investments, either
from domestic sources or foreign avenues, the Government has offered various incentives for
the infrastructure sector for sustained economic growth. These include: allowing 100 per
cent FDI (under the automatic route) in all infrastructure sectors including the roads, power,
ports, and airport.
Noida has several advantages and claims a major chunk of the projects due to its proximity
to Delhi and gurgaon companies and housing facilities and now shifting to noida because of
the space constraints and saturation of available space in Delhi and Gurgaon.
