a key role in the development of modern economies. All human activities i.e., education, health care, agriculture, and employment require energy for proper functioning. A country cannot succeed without proper utilization of energy. It is considered the main component of a country's economy. Pakistan is a developing country and due to recent development and to support its large population and industry, the country needs a huge amount of energy to keep all things on track. However, there is always a shortage of energy supply and the country is in its worst energy crisis. According to province-wise consumption of energy products from FY17 to FY21, prepared by Oil Companies Advisory Council (OCAC), total petrol consumption in FY17 was 6.6 million tonnes which soared to 7.4m tones in FY18, 7.6m tonnes in FY19, 7.45m tonnes in FY20 and the highest-ever 8.35m tonnes in FY21. Petrol demand continued to get a boost amid the long closure of compressed natural gas (CNG) outlets in the last few years, especially in winters, due to gas shortage. As a result, the CNG vehicles have been switched to petrol despite its rising prices. Punjab consumed 5.3m tonnes of petrol in FY21 which was 4.4m tonnes in FY17. Sindh held the second spot with the usage of 1.8m tonnes from 1.4m tonnes in FY17. Demand for petrol in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan also soared to 827,894 tonnes and 221,054 tonnes in FY21, respectively, from 511,833 tonnes and 193,825 tonnes in FY17. Earlier, the ECC had deliberated upon the Petroleum Division’s summary on July 28 and approved the margins of dealers at Rs. 7 per liter with the direction that Ogra may review the OMCs’ margins in consultation with the stakeholders. OMCs had demanded that their margins be raised to Rs8.85 per liter due to increase in the cost of doing business. They also stressed that turnover tax, high interest rates, increased LC charges, demurrage and increased costs on account of inflation had reduced their profitability significantly. 4 AL-BARKA FOSSIL FUELS PRIVATE LIMITED According to the statistics of Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA), Pakistan produced 226,433 passenger cars in 2021-22 with sales volume of 234,180 units, up about 49% and 55% from 151,794 and 151,182 units respectively in 2020-21. Fuel filling station is a profitable business in Pakistan especially in Punjab and Sindh province. In Punjab major consumption has been recorded in Lahore, Faisalabad, and Gujranwala regions. Meanwhile, public and private sector investment is very important to harness true potential of this business. Looking at the above statistics regarding gradual increasing market demand and healthy profit margins, it is pretty safe to assume that there is a lot of space and potential in this sector for more fuel-filling stations as they can pretty easily capture the untapped market of this part energy sector. Registration Process at SECP To register a private limited company under company's act 2017, we must make an account on https://eservices.secp.gov.pk/eServices/. The first step is to select a unique name for the company and hence Al-Barka Fossil Fuels Private Limited has been chosen.

Then we have to register as an online user with SECP and complete all particulars including CNIC, mobile number and email address. After creating your user ID, we have to log in the SECP portal and select the option that says "company name reservation". Firstly, in the "company Kind" section we have to select Private Limited Company since there are four directors in the company. There is also another option being SMC private limited company in which there is a single director of the company enjoying private limited status.

Cash flows were estimated based on market surveys from different fuel pump representatives. Capital budgeting techniques were used to estimate the project cash flows and following were the results; Method NPV IRR Payback Disc. Payback PI AAR (390,686,515) 11.62% 4.38 5.52 0.805 16.20% Decision Reject Reject Accept Reject Reject Reject Out of six techniques, only the payback period is tuned to the point where the project can be accepted. Other than that, all methods do not support the business cash flow for the tenor of 5 years. In final words, we can say that this business model will be feasible in the following circumstances. 1. Business model execution years must be more than discounted payback period, i.e. at least six years to make NPV positive. 2. If we wanted to execute the business plan over 5 years period, Land for the fuel filling stations must be owned by the Business itself. 3. In the current economic scenario, higher discount rates present the value of cash flows coming out to be lower, if the discount rate is around 7-8% then this business model will be feasible over 5 years period. 25 AL-BARKA FOSSIL FUELS PRIVATE LIMITED Bibliography https://www.brecorder.com/news/40189197 https://www.sbp.org.pk/ecodata/kibor/2022/Nov/Kibor-23-Nov-22.pdf https://www.sbp.org.pk/ecodata/mtb-bid.pdf https://profit.pakistantoday.com.pk/2022/07/28/ecc-approves-increase-in-dealers-margin-on-ms-hsd/ https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/pakistan/oil-consumption https://tribune.com.pk/story/2374437/auto-industrys-future-bright-as-more-players-enter https://www.psopk.com/en/fuels/fuel-prices 26
