1 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA

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

Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME developmentapproach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depthresearch was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated afteridentification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral developmentstrategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking intoconsideration other important aspects including finance, marketing, technology and humanresource development.

SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for sectors including, fruits andvegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewelry, marine fisheries, leather and footwear,

textiles, surgical instruments, transport and dairy. Whereas the task of SME development ata broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDAs

areas of operation.

Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is alsooffered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable businessopportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDAprovides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of projectspecific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development aresome of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual SMEs to exploit viablebusiness 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 CNGstation. The daily turnover of the cars largely depends on this important factor.

Selection of proper equipment is another key for carrying out the successful operationsof 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 petroleumproducts which are already on the higher side.

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

HDIP, a non-profitable organization working under the umbrella of Ministry ofPetroleum and Natural Resources, provides consultancy services to the interestedparties 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, HydrocarbonDevelopment Institute of Pakistan (HDIP) has recognized the need and necessity topromote the use of CNG as a fuel in automobiles. HDIP has pioneered the use ofenvironment friendly CNG in road transport as an economically viable fuel, which cansubstitute the imported petroleum products.

44..22 PPrroojjeecctt BBrriieeff

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

44..33 IInnttrroodduuccttiioonn ttoo CCNNGG

Natural Gas is one of the most valuable natural resources abundantly available in ourcountry. The people of Pakistan have been using the petroleum products as a fuel in theirautomobiles, thus spending a huge amount of foreign exchange on import of petroleumproducts. Moreover, the Government of Pakistan has taken certain concrete steps in orderto promote the use of natural gas as a fuel substitute in the automobiles. Due to the effortsmade 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. Atpresent, there are more than 6701 CNG stations operating in the Country and this number isinsufficient 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.31.13million. It includes land, building, CNG equipment and machinery, spares, along with thepreliminary expenses and working capital.Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is produced when the natural gas is compressed intocylinders to be used as a fuel in the automobiles. The compressed natural gas has been usedas an automobile fuel since 1940, and over the years, the technology has been modified andrefined. In the recent years, the usage of CNG as an automobile fuel has significantlyincreased because of its low cost and environment friendly nature.

The proposed legal structure of the business entity is either sole proprietorship orpartnership. Although selection totally depends upon the choice of the entrepreneur but thisfinancial 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 areestimated at Rs.0.82 million and Rs.1.8 million respectively. The CNG equipmentcomprises of gas compressor, dual hose dispenser, electric control panel, and storagecascades/cylinders.

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 ColonyThe 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 ofCNG 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 andequipment, CNG kits and cylinders

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

5 MARKET ANALYSIS

The commercial application of CNG technology now forms an important element ofGovernments petroleum policy, which is reflected in the efforts made by the governmentfor installing 670 CNG stations in the country and converting 600,000 vehicles on CNGfueling 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 CNGfueling 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, manycar 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 publicregarding the safety concerns, and now, more people are inclined towards purchasing thesefactory-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 thegrowing demand of CNG. Apart from these 670 CNG stations, many new CNG stations arebeing setup across the country.

55..44 IInndduussttrryy GGrroowwtthh

There has been a tremendous growth in the CNG sector over the yeas. The total number ofvehicles 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

There are two main inputs required for the CNG filling station, one is the natural gas andthe other is electricity. The sponsor of the project is required to obtain both the connections

from the relevant authorities i.e. WAPDA and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited(SNGPL) or Sui Southern Gas Pipelines Limited (SSGPL). The cost associated withobtaining the gas connection is Rs.75, 000/-. In addition to this, a minimum securitydeposit of Rs.1.8million is also required to be deposited with the concerned authority.Bank guarantee is also acceptable in case of gas security. An amount of Rs.0.35 million isrequired for obtaining electricity connection. There is no security deposit required for theelectricity connection.

77..33..55 CCNNGGEEqquuiippmmeenntt

The following equipment is required for a CNG filling station:

Gas CompressorThe purpose of compressor is to compress the gas enabling it to discharge the gas forrefueling. This compressor requires an input pressure of 8 or 15 PSIG5 from the main gassupply with the outlet pressure of 3,625 PSIG. With this discharge pressure, the equipmentcan refuel 50 vehicles per hour.

Electric Control PanelElectric control panel is required to operate the gas compressor. This panel will be mountedin the control room.

Storage CascadeStorage cascades/cylinders are used to store the natural gas.

Priority Panel for Vehicle PriorityDuring rush hours, the compressor is directly connected to the dispenser, bypassing thestorage cascades/cylinders with the help of priority panel, facilitating the refueling ofvehicles at a faster rate.

CNG Dispenser high flow dual hoseGas is filled into the vehicles with the help of dispenser. This dual hose dispenser iscapable of handling two vehicles at a time.

There are various foreign manufacturers providing the CNG filling station equipment. Inthis pre-feasibility report, a British origin compressor6has been selected. This equipment isselected because of its low electricity consumption, higher outlet pressure, low

maintenance, durable working, longer periods between overhauls and good market reputeand presence.

Different gas pressures are available in different areas of Pakistan from the main gas supplyline. The pressure of 15 PSIG is not easily available at every location. Where the gaspressure of 15 PSIG is not available, in that situation, the model with inlet pressure of 8PSIG 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 specificrequirement of the sponsor by the authorized agent. Usually, the equipment is deliveredwithin 12 to 16 weeks from the receipt of purchase order and initial payment. The details ofthis equipment and accessories are available in Annexure # 1.1.1.
