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 wellresearched 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 The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs to facilitate investment and provide an overview about CNG Filling Station business. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document covers various aspects of the business concept development, start-up, production, marketing, and finance and business management. The document also provides sectoral information, brief on government policies and international scenario, which have some bearing on the project itself. This particular pre-feasibility is regarding “CNG Filling Station” which comes under “Petroleum” sector. 2 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study 3 CNG Filling Station CRUCIAL FACTORS & STEPS IN DECISION MAKING FOR INVESTMENT 3.1 Key Success Factors 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. 3.2 Opportunities 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. 3.3 Threats 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 4.1 Opportunity Rationale 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. 4.2 Project Brief 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. 3 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station 4.3 Introduction to CNG 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. 4.4 Proposed Business Legal Status 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. 4.5 Project Cost 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. Table 4-1 Project Investment Fixed Investment Working Capital Total Investment Rs. 30,750,140 Rs. 377,390 Rs. 31,127,530 The proposed pre-feasibility is based on the assumption of 50% debt and 50% equity. However this composition of debt and equity can be changed as per the requirement of the investor. The project seems to be viable with the following returns on investment. 1 Source: International Association of Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV) Feb, 2005 Statistics 4 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study Table 4-2 CNG Filling Station Project Returns Internal rate of return (project) Internal rate of return (equity) Net Present Value @ 20% Payback period – based on cash inflows 23.1% 45.1% Rs. 3,401,246 4 years 4.6 Viable Economic Size 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. 4.7 Proposed Capacity The equipment for CNG filling station that has been considered for preparing this prefeasibility 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. 4.8 Proposed Location 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. 4.9 CNG Policy 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 5 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station This has provided a boost to the industry, and so far, more than 600,000 vehicles have been converted to CNG and 6702 CNG stations are operational. According to International Association for Natural Gas Vehicles (IANGV) statistics, Pakistan is ranked third in the CNG-using countries after Argentina and Brazil. 4.10 CNG Consultancy Services 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. 5.1 Target Customers The target customers for the proposed project would be the vehicles running on CNG fuel. 5.2 Market Demand 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. 5.3 Market Supply 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. 5.4 Industry Growth 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 2 As on Feb, 2005 6 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station and 220 stations respectively and by the year 2005 they have tremendously grown up to 670 CNG Stations and 600,000 CNG fitted vehicles. The growth in terms of percentage is given in the following table: Table 5-1 Growth Percentage of Vehicles Year 2004 2005 Percentage Increase No. Of Vehicles on CNG 450,000 600,000 33% CNG Filling Stations 550 670 22% The above growth rates present an opportunity for the new entrants to earn profits by setting up new CNG filling stations to meet the growing demand. 6 REGULATIONS, LICENSES AND INCENTIVES 6.1 License Obtaining a license from Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources is a pre-requisite for setting-up the CNG station.

Fire rated walls3 must be used in the compressor and cylinder storage room. 4. Roof of the compressor and storage room should not be of permanent nature4. 7.3.4 Material Inputs There are two main inputs required for the CNG filling station, one is the natural gas and the 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 with obtaining the gas connection is Rs.75, 000/-. In addition to this, a minimum security deposit 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 is required for obtaining electricity connection. There is no security deposit required for the electricity connection. 7.3.5 CNG Equipment The following equipment is required for a CNG filling station: Gas Compressor The purpose of compressor is to compress the gas enabling it to discharge the gas for refueling. This compressor requires an input pressure of 8 or 15 PSIG5 from the main gas supply with the outlet pressure of 3,625 PSIG. With this discharge pressure, the equipment can refuel 50 vehicles per hour. Electric Control Panel Electric control panel is required to operate the gas compressor. This panel will be mounted in the control room. Storage Cascade Storage cascades/cylinders are used to store the natural gas. Priority Panel for Vehicle Priority During rush hours, the compressor is directly connected to the dispenser, bypassing the storage cascades/cylinders with the help of priority panel, facilitating the refueling of vehicles at a faster rate. CNG Dispenser high flow dual hose Gas is filled into the vehicles with the help of dispenser. This dual hose dispenser is capable of handling two vehicles at a time. There are various foreign manufacturers providing the CNG filling station equipment. In this pre-feasibility report, a British origin compressor6 has been selected. This equipment is selected because of its low electricity consumption, higher outlet pressure, low maintenance, durable working, longer periods between overhauls and good market repute and presence. 3 with RCC (Reinforced cement concrete) structure Corrugated asbestos might be used as the roof for the compressor and cylinder storage room to prevent the compressor and cylinders from heat. 5 pounds per square inch gauge pressure 6 Ham worthy Compressor, Bellies & Marcum, UK, Model: H430H-WL Capacity: 400 m3/hr 4 11 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station 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 prices for gas, electricity, operational expenses and staff salaries are increased by 10% every year as a result of inflation. The selling price of gas has been increased by 5% every year. 8.2 Revenue Assumptions 8.2.1 No. of Cars Based on the survey of some CNG stations in Lahore, the number of cars assumed for revenue projections is as follows: Table 8-1 Detailed Projected Increase in Cars Years No. Of Cars 1 202 2 303 3 363 4 435 5 522 6 600 7 690 8 793 9 911 10 1,047 The average number of cars in the first years is estimated at 202 cars per day, starting from 120 cars per day in the first month and going up to 290 cars per day in the 12th month.. In the second year, it has increased to 303 cars per day. After second year, number of cars is increasing at a rate of 20% till fifth year because the project would be in its growth stage. An increase of 15% has been considered from sixth year, because at that time, the project would be at its maturity stage. 8.2.2 Gas per Vehicle Currently, the CNG cylinders with two different capacities are installed in the CNG fitted cars. One type of cylinder has a capacity of 40 kg and the other has a capacity of 50 kg. Gas of 6.6 and 11.12 cubic meter can be filled in the cylinders of 40kg and 50kg respectively. A weighted average of 9.31 cubic meters of gas per vehicle has been taken for the revenue calculations. 14 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study Table 8-2 CNG Filling Station Average Volume Cylinder Type 40 kg 50 kg Weighted Average Volume Volume (cubic meters) 6.6 11.12 Percentage Use 40% 60% 9.31 cubic meters 8.3 Depreciation on Assets 8.3.1 Accounting Profit Depreciation on the assets has been charged at the following rates for the calculation of accounting profits: Table 8-3 Depreciation Rates Building CNG Plant & Equipment Office Equipment Furniture & Fixture 5% 10% 20% 10% 8.3.2 Taxable Profit For the purpose of calculating taxable profit, depreciation is calculated on the rates as per the Income Tax Law, which is as follows: Table 8-4 Tax Adjustments Land Building CNG Plant & Equipment Office Equipment Furniture & Fixture 0% 5% 10% 10% 10% 8.4 First Year Allowance Other than the normal depreciation allowances, first year allowance is also provided on the newly installed CNG plant and equipment for the purpose of providing benefit to the entrepreneur. The first year allowance is calculated at 40% of written down value of CNG plant and equipment. 8. 5 Multiple Shift Allowance In addition to normal depreciation and first year allowances, multiple shift allowance is also provided for the plant and machinery, which operates on double or triple shift basis. In this proposed project, CNG plant will run on two-shift basis during the whole year. So multiple shift allowance is calculated and added to the depreciation of CNG plant and 15 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station equipment for all the ten years. Multiple shift allowance has been taken as 66.6% of the normal depreciation allowance. 8. 6 Amortization of Preliminary Expenses Preliminary expenses amounting to Rs.820, 000/- will be amortized at the rate of 20% per annum. 8.7 Working Capital Working capital is calculated on the basis of following assumptions: 8.7.1 Accounts Receivables Mostly, the sale of CNG is on cash basis. However, some CNG stations do offer a credit facility to reputable companies on agreed terms and conditions. Therefore, receivables are estimated at 6% of the total sales amount. 8.7.2 Advances to Employees Advances to employees are calculated on the basis of 30 days of both payroll and staff benefits. 8.7.3 Accrued Utilities and Power Expenses Normally, it would take 20 days to deposit the utilities (electricity, water and telephone) bills. Therefore, utility expenses for 20 days have been taken as the basis for working capital computation. 8.7.4 Accounts Payable Cost of gas and electricity for 20 days has been considered in calculating accounts payable. 8.7.5 Sales Tax Payable Every company is required to deposit the amount of sales tax collected from the consumers, within 14 days. The same has been taken as the basis for calculating the amount of sales tax payable. 8.8 Sales Tax The sales tax levied by Government of Pakistan is charged to the customers at the rate of 15% on the sale of gas. These funds are deposited after every 14 days in favor of Government of Pakistan. 8.9 Ratio/Financial Analysis The figures for the rate of return on investment and return on equity are averaged for the first five years to make it more reasonable. 16 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study CNG Filling Station 8.10 Alternative Investment Opportunity 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. 17 PREF-34/May, 2005/Rev 2 Pre-Feasibility Study 9 CNG Filling Station FINANCIAL ANALYSIS 9.1 Project Costs P ro je c t C o s t R s.
