ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
On the onset, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all those great
minds and hearts that have touched this project in the path of its success.
This project has proved to be a wonderful opportunity to execute some of the skills acquired
during the MBA programme. It was fortunate for us to do this project under the guidance of
Mr. Aldrin (Project Manager) and shall even remain indebted to him for his assistance and
sustained encouragement throughout the training. His practical insight and individual support
from the beginning of the training was extremely encouraging to us.
Summary
The Proposed Project
JBF Industries Limited has proposed to set up a Polyester Chips Plant having capacity of 600
tons per day on a 40-acre land already earmarked for the proposed project near Silvassa.
Polyester chips thus produced would be of grades capable of being consumed by the Textile
Industry and the film producing industry. JBF Industries limited is already engaged in POY
and batch PET polymerisation business at Silvassa but the proposed manufacturing facility
would be a continuous PET polymerisation plant incorporating latest technology and at a
different location than its existing set up.
Project Highlights
The polyester chips produced by this technology are supposed to be of consistent
quality and based on lower cost inputs.
The availability of raw material for producing polyester chips (i.e. PTA/DMT and
MEG) is ensured due to major expansion plans by existing players and some new players
entering the market. JBF is already consuming PTA/DMT and MEG from the large
manufacturers for the existing set up.
JBFIL already has available infrastructure for marketing polyester chips, which can be
leveraged by the proposed project.
The proposed project is expected to have cost advantage as it is near to major end
users and raw material source.
JBFIL has selected a technology, which is flexible. This would enable it to change the
product mix (i.e. Production of Film and Bottle Grade Chips) as per the market
requirements in case of any fall back due to declining demand of textile grade chips.
Proximity to all local extruder based POY units would enable JBFIL to sense the
market movements and this would be certainly a competitive edge over other polyester
chips manufacturers.
Many new POY plants are being installed at Silvassa and they would be the
prospective customers for polyester chips in the near future due to proximity to the
proposed set up.
Overall Project Prospects
The overall prospects for the proposed project appear promising in view of:
The sales volume (i.e. Capacity Utilization levels) envisaged in the projections appear
quite attainable considering following favourable factors:
Positive demand supply gap emerging due to demand growth of POY/PFY and
supply remaining more or less stagnant (due to expansion in downstream by few
existing PET Chips suppliers like Reliance, Century Enka, Indo Rama & Flex and
addition of new capacity by Garden Silk)
Number of POY projects is slated to come in the close vicinity of JBFILs’
proposed plant. Collective demand by these small-medium POY producers would be
tune of 600 TPD. It is expected that JBFIL would garner major share of this demand.
JBFIL has selected a technology, which is flexible. This would enable it to change the
product mix (i.e. Production of Film and Bottle Grade Chips) as per the market
requirements in case of any fall back due to declining demand of textile grade chips.
JBFIL has further plans to expand downstream capacity (after 2-3 years), which would
ensure full utilization of capacity as well as further enhance overall profitability of the
group.
All the projected financials suggest the project to be viable on stand-alone basis and
will be a net contributor to JBFIL.
1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction to JBF Industries Limited
JBF Industries Ltd. (hereafter referred as JBFIL) is a leader in the Indian textile industry with
particular strength in polyester filament yarn and chips. The company’s history dates back to
the 1982 as a private company under the name “JBF Synthetics”. It became a public limited
company in the year 1986, and in the year 1989 the name was changed to JBF Industries
Limited.
JBFIL has established itself as a quality producer of POY and Polyester chips in the polyester
filament yarn industry. The company is one of the top 3 players in polyester partially oriented
yarn (POY). So far the company has preferred the chips (batch polymerisation) route (as
compared to the continuous polymerisation route) of POY production to enable quick product
changes, enhance differentiation and provide flexibility.
JBFIL has shown consistent growth since inception. The company has a record of
uninterrupted dividend payment from beginning till 1999. However, there was some set back
during 1999 to 2002 as the overall polyester filament yarn industry was not doing well, but
company has made impressive turn around during 2002-03.

1.3 About the Proposed Project
The proposed 600 tons per day polyester chips plant will be set up near Silvassa on a 40-acre
land already earmarked for this project. The acquired land is located within 12 Km. from the
existing JBFIL plant facilities and hence it is envisaged that the proposed project need not
create elaborate infrastructure support.
A number of medium size POY industries are located in and around Silvassa, which again
consolidates the fact that the proximity to end users would make the proposed project more
ideal in terms of technical servicing to the end users and a considerable savings in
transportation cost, etc.
The proposed plant would be a continuous polymerisation plant incorporating latest
technology. The polyester chips produced by this technology would be of consistent quality
and based on lowest cost inputs. The technology has flexibility in terms of grade of chips
produced, which would be consumed both by the textile industry and also the polyester film
industry.

DMM adopted an approach addressing the specific requirements of bankers for term loan
approval, which includes:
Justification of project on market ground
Suitability of technology and appropriateness of plant and machinery required for the
project
Validation of cost of project and overall viability of the project
In short, the project needs to be justified from all possible angles, i.e. Market, Technology and
Financial parameters. The study involved an intensive desk research for obtaining relevant
secondary data. The objectives of desk research are:
Enhanced understanding on the latest market perspective.
Broad assessment of level of competition, i.e. major players and their approach
Collect secondary/published information useful for analysing the project.
Secondary/Desk Research involved collection of information from various sources, like:
Information already available with JBFIL
DMM’s internal database
International trade and industry journals
Internet Search
we did not envisage intensive field research as enough industry-updated data was available
with the consultant due to lots of similar assignments had been carried out in the recent past.
However, a selective verbal enquiry has been conducted among prominent manufacturers of
PET chips, raw material suppliers, POY manufacturers, technology and plant & machinery
suppliers to get crucial information/data not availed through intensive desk research.
Justification of project on market demand has been estimated based on the overall demand
supply scenario and analysis of competition. We validated the following:
The target market size for the client
The flexibility in manufacturing various grades of chips i.e. Textile grade or film
grade
The assessment of suitability of selected technology for the project has been done on
the basis of evaluation against certain pre-determined criteria like:

From the above table, it can be observed that Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), Indo Rama
Synthetics, Century Enka, Sanghi Polyester and JBF Industries Ltd. (JBFIL) together account
for about 59% of the total industry capacity. Further, about 50% of the industry capacity is
located in the western region due to the proximity of raw material suppliers and downstream
weaving units at Surat, Bhiwandi.
The installed capacity of the industry has grown from a mere 178,000 TPA in 1990 to about
1,018,150 TPA by 31st March 2002 at a CAGR of 16%. Both the existing players as well as
new entrants have made investments during the last decade. The growth in investments was
more during 1996-99 as can be observed from the figure 2.2. The industry has witnessed
some acquisitions during the last few years with RIL taking over DCL Polyesters Ltd. and
Raymond Synthetics Ltd. The consolidation in the industry could be attributed to non-
economic size at the plant and operational advantage of producers with backward integrated
plants (PTA and MEG) or forward integrated plants (Draw warping, Draw texturising, etc.) as
compared to standalone producers.

3 Demand Supply Scenario
3.1 Polyester Filament Yarn (POY / FDY)
3.1.1 Projected demand
The PFY industry has grown at a rate of about 16% p.a. during 1991-02. Industry analysis
indicates that the growth rate is declining. However, it is estimated that the industry would
sustain a growth of about 8% p.a. during 2003-2012 based on the following factors –
Globally polyester has 50% shares in fabrics. Whereas in India, polyester has a share
of just 17% indicating the growth potential.
Low per capita consumption (China – 5 kg; Indonesia – 5 kg; Pakistan – 3 kg, India -
1.4 kg)
Growing non-apparel applications (23% global demand but negligible in India)
Polyester making inroads as Fashion Fabric – Polyester Denim
PSF – emerging deficit over next 3-4 years
WTO-End of quota regime and MFA phase out in Jan, 2005 will benefit India
The Planning Commission projects a growth of 8% for PFY industry during the tenth
plan (2001-07).
Capacity addition by major PTA manufacturers like RIL, Indian Oil Corporation and
Mitsubishi, indicate growth envisaged in the downstream PFY industry.
The major demand drivers for Indian PFY industry during the next decade would include –
Growth in automobile sector would lead to an increase in demand for automotive
textiles like floor mats, carpets, steering wheel covers, headliners, seat covers, seat belts,
air bags etc.
67
Growth in housing sector would lead to an increase in demand from upholstery
segment for home furnishings.
Increase in disposable income will propel growth in textile apparels
Demand for industrial stitching threads, fire retardant yarns, non-woven fabrics and
other technical yarns.
Historically, the yarn export from India has been insignificant. The large domestic base is one
of the prime reasons for the low export base. In future, it is anticipated that the local yarn
manufacturers would continue to focus on the growing domestic market and thus, exports
would continue to be insignificant.
The projected demand for PFY (POY + FDY) during the project plan period i.e. 2005-2012 is
given in Figure 3.1 below.
Figure 3.1: Projected Demand – POY & FDY
Source: DMM Analysis
3.1.2 Projected Supply
The installed capacity of PFY industry as on March 2002 is about 1,018,150 TPA with an
average capacity utilisation at 92%. Imports of PFY have been limited during the last decade
due to preference given to local yarn manufacturers by local weavers and yarn processing
units. The major reasons for giving preference includes -
The quality of yarn manufactured by local players is close to international standards
67
The price at which the local yarn manufacturers are able to sell their products is at par
with landed cost of imports. Further freight and packaging cost would add to the cost of
imports making it less competitive.
The local manufacturers are able to provide better reliability than imported yarns
Procurement from local manufacturer decreases the inventory requirements
Imports, in future would continue to be lower as long as the domestic yarn producers are able
to serve the demand. Thus, imports would only be used to bridge the demand-supply gap in
domestic market if any.
The availability of PFY in the domestic market considering 95% capacity utilisation of the
existing plants (installed capacity as on March 2002) during the project plan period i.e. 2005-
2012 is about 968,000 TPA.
3.1.3 Projected Demand – Supply Scenario
The projected demand – supply scenario in the PFY industry during 2005-2012 is given in
figure 3.2 below. From the figure it can be observed that the industry would face a marginal
shortfall in supply from the year 2005 onwards. This demand – supply gap can either be met
by imports or by fresh investments in domestic PFY capacity. Looking at the overall industry
behaviour during the last decade and the preference shown towards local manufacturers, it is
eminent that fresh investments in domestic PFY capacity would come up soon.
67
Figure 3.2: Projected Demand Supply - PFY
Source: DMM Analysis
3.2 PET Chips
3.2.1 Projected demand
PET chips are procured by batch process units and are later spun into PFY. These batch units
largely do not have the advantage of economies of scale and have higher operating costs (as
the number of stages in conversion is more). However, there is no direct competition with
large direct spinning processors as they cater to requirements of niche markets. These batch-
process units account for almost 20% of the total PFY production in India. It is expected that
the batch process units would maintain their share in overall PFY production. Thus, the
demand for PET chips would be driven by the increase in demand for PFY and consequent
fresh investments in PFY units. The projected demand for PET chips during the project plan
i.e. 2005-2012 is given in Figure 3.3 below.

3.2.2 Projected Supply
PET chips available in open market from the major domestic suppliers are about 208,800
TPA as on 2002. It is observed that the batch process units give preference to the local
suppliers of chips due to the following reasons –
High quality standards observed by local PET manufacturers
Local PET chips prices comparable to landed import costs.
Higher reliability of local suppliers
Improvement in inventory management
The projected availability of PET chips in domestic market during the project evaluation
period i.e. 2005-2012 is expected to be as per the estimates given below:

3.2.3 Projected Demand – Supply Scenario
The projected demand – supply scenario for PET chips during 2005-2012 is given in figure
3.4 below. From the figure it can be observed that the industry would face a shortfall in
supply from the year 2005 onwards. This demand – supply gap can either be met by imports
or by fresh investments in Polycondensation capacity.

3.3 Price Projection
The prices of PET chips is expected to remain stable in long run due to the following reasons
–
The PTA prices are expected to remain stable on account of new capacity addition by
major domestic players in near future.
Free imports of PTA, PET chips and PFY and corresponding reduction in customs
duty have ensured that the end users get raw material at internationally competitive prices.
Thus, the prices of PTA, and PET chips are expected to remain stable in line with
international prices.
The lowering of customs duty for imported equipments and lower interest rates have
resulted in lower investment costs. This would ensure that new capacities are able to
manufacture PET chips at internationally competitive costs.
3.4 Market Prospects for the proposed project
It can be positively concluded that the proposed project has excellent market prospects for the
following reasons:
Positive demand supply gap emerging due to demand growth of POY/PFY and supply
remaining more or less stagnant (due to expansion in downstream by few existing PET
Chips suppliers like Reliance, Century Enka, Indo Rama & Flex and addition of new
capacity by Garden Silk)
Number of POY projects is slated to come in the close vicinity of JBFILs’ proposed
plant. Collective demand by these small-medium POY producers would be tune of 600
TPD. It is expected that JBFIL would garner major share of this demand. These units
would have economic as well as other benefits in sourcing PET chips from JBFIL, like:
Savings in transportation cost
Low inventory levels for PET Chips
Quick Technical Assistance in the event of technical problem
67
4 Marketing Plan
4.1 Competition Analysis
Organized players dominate the PFY industry. Further, vertically integrated units with
significant presence in PET chips and yarn business (including processing) have a better
chance to compete in global markets and manage with the price fluctuations. Reliance
Industries Limited and Indo Rama Synthetic (I) Ltd. are having major dominance in domestic
market. Analysis of these players is given in the table 4.1 below.
Table 4.1: Major Competitors
Name of the Company Current Supply Level & Present Status
Reliance Industries Limited
Current supply level is 2200 MT per month. Shifting
POY machines from Orissa plant to Nagpur plant so
will cut down PET chips by 2000 MT. Focus more
towards infrastructure sectors like Oil & Gas,
Telecom and Power.
Indo Rama Synthetic (I) Ltd. Current supply level is 2000 MT per month. Planning
expansion in PTA and PSF (Staple Fibre).
Century Enka
Current supply level is 3500 MT per month.
Expanding POY capacity and hence will be out of
chips market by end of 2004.
Flex
Current supply level is 2000 MT per month.
Increasing film capacity by 1500 MT per month. Will
be left with surplus 500 MT per month only
67
4.2 JBFIL’s Strengths
JBFIL is one of the leading players in the domestic textile market and their strengths are:
JBFIL’s proposed project is to be located near Silvassa. This would ensure that the
plant is close to the end users (10 km from the polyester extruder spinners) and also close
to raw material source i.e. PTA and MEG from RIL. This would give it a cost advantage
of about Rs. 2 per kg for the yarn processors ensuring easy acceptability of JBFIL’s
products.
About 67% of the PET production would be consumed in-house for yarn
manufacturing.
JBFIL has selected a technology, which is flexible. This would enable it to change the
product mix (modified, bright and regular chips) and also film grade chips as per the
market requirements.
JBFIL’s strong performance would ensure that they borrow money at competitive
rates. Further, reduction in customs duty on imported equipments would enable JBFIL to
build a state-of-art plant with relatively lower capital investment. Thus, they would have
lower fixed costs and would be in a better position to price their products.
4.3 Current Marketing Arrangement and JBFIL’s Future Marketing Plan
Polyester chips account for the single largest intermediate raw material comprising nearly 60-
70% of the finished product cost. Generally owners/directors of POY spinners directly handle
the purchase of polyester chips on the basis of strong liaison with the chips suppliers.
Consequently, the marketing of chips is normally done on the basis of interaction with top
executives of the supplier and end user and no intermediary such as brokers or commission
agents play a role except in few cases.
The pricing terms are generally based by bench marking the landed price as based on
international prices of polyester chips. The payments are normally on advance payments basis
with cheques being deposited on the day the consumer gets polyester chips.
67
Polyester chips consuming companies tie up quantities on a monthly basis and a day-wise
schedule is given, according to which chips are dispatched. A strong customer technical
service team, who would give certain guidelines to the customers, will back the supply of the
chips. A constant co-ordination would be maintained between the technical service team and
the buyer so as to ensure that the quality of chips being produced is acceptable and also to
find ways and means of further improvement in quality and other matters with reference to
logistics. It is expected that a number of polyester chips customers would be located at
Silvassa, Surat and Ahmedabad regions JBFIL’s strength coupled with shift in focus of major
players and overall demand-supply scenario in Polyester chips industry it is likely that JBFIL
would sell its products in the market.

6 Technical Analysis
JBFIL has decided to source technology and plant from China Textile Industrial
Engineering Institute (CTIEI). CTIEI was founded in 1952, and is one of the largest design
and investigation unit to China National Textile Council (CNTC, formerly known as Ministry
of Textile Industry). It is also a member of China National Technical Import and Export
Corporation. It is the partner of China Foreign Construction Corporation.
CTIEI is able to supply process technology, engineering design and complete equipment, and
performance test in accordance with international practice. CTIEI is an ISO 9001 certified
company. It has also achieved Class A certificate for the design of textile, finishing, chemical
fibre, petrochemical and civil and also other project engineering related certificates.
The factors favouring CTIEI Technology includes:
Proven track record of CTIEI (CTIEI has supplied Continuous Polymerisation
technology and plant to more than 40 units in China, some of which are large and
important players in PFY market.
The process for reduction of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) with PTA/DMT and
MEG as developed by CTIEI is characterised with up to date technology having more
operation flexibility, high automation and less waste emissions.
Because of adoption of process column with high efficiency, anti-blockage, more
operation flexibility and effective waste emissions treatment, the quality of the products is
excellent and all technical indexes are superior to or not lower than stipulation of polyester
company in the world.
Various consumption indexes of raw materials and utilities are comparable to the
stipulation of other leading polyester companies in the world and the design can be
suitably tailor-made to suit the requirement of the customers.
The overall cost economics (i.e. Capital and Operating Cost) based on CTIEI
technology is very favourable.67
6.1 Raw Material- Sourcing and Availability
Raw materials required for the proposed project are PTA and MEG. About 0.34 tonnes of
MEG and about 0.86 tonnes of PTA are required for producing 1 tonnes of PET resin; which
is converted into yarn. A detailed analysis of PTA and MEG for future availability and prices
is covered in the subsequent section.
6.1.1 Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)
PTA is used in the production of polyesters both staple fibre and filament yarn. The major
raw material for the production of PTA is paraxylene. In India, Reliance Industries and
Mitsubishi Chemicals are two major producers of PTA. The production capacity of PTA
stands at about 1.8 million TPA as on 2002-03. Some of the major manufacturers are given in
table 5.1.

The installed capacity of the PTA industry grew from about 1.28 million TPA in 1996 to
about 1.8 million TPA by 2002. This growth was inline with the increase in demand of
67
polyester industry (both staple fibre and filament yarn). Year-wise capacity trend is given in
figure 5.1
Figure 6.1: Capacity Trend of PTA
Source: 2002-03Handbook of Statistics on Man Made Synthetic Fibre/Yarn Industry –
Association of Synthetic Fibre Industry
The PTA production grew from about 0.2 million TPA in the year 1988-1989 to about
1.7million TPA in the year 2002-2003, indicating a CAGR of 31 %. Year wise production, y-
o-y growth in production and capacity utilisation is given in figure 5.2 & figure 5.3
respectively. From the figures 5.2 and 5.3 it can be observed that the domestic industry is
operating at high utilization levels and would require an expansion to meet future needs of
downstream players
To meet the future demand from the downstream polyester industry the domestic PTA
industry would require fresh investments. As per published information, by 2005 additional
capacity of about 1.3 million TPA would be commissioned indicating an increase of 70%
over the existing capacities. Further Indo Rama Group is setting up a green field project at
Thailand and would source its requirements (about 200,000 TPA) from the captive facility.
This would create a surplus capacity of about 200,000 TPA in the domestic market. The
67
details of the proposed investments in PTA industry are given in table 5.3. From the table it
can be observed that the share of RIL in PTA market would come down from over 70% in
2002 to about 50% by 2005. Taking into consideration the large expansion in PTA capacity;
sourcing of PTA in domestic market would not be difficult for the downstream manufacturers.

The prices of PTA in domestic market is finalised based on the landed cost of imports,
thereby ensuring that the prices are globally competitive. It is expected that PTA
manufacturers would continue to use the market driven approach to fix domestic PTA prices.
Analysis indicates that the PTA prices depends on the following factors –
International freight & insurance charges
Crude prices
Customs duty
Availability of PTA
In India, the customs duty on PTA decreased from a high of 60% in 1994-95 to a low of 20%
from 2001 onwards. This has assisted in decreasing the domestic prices of PTA. However,
further decrease in customs duty during near future is not anticipated and thus customs duty is
not expected to play a major role in dictating domestic prices.
67
With fresh investments in the PTA industry the availability of PTA will not be a major factor
for the downstream players. Further, since imports are free, the downstream players can
always resort to imports. JBFIL has an advantage of being located near two major ports.
While international freight charges depend on the crude oil prices, the insurance charges
largely depend on international peace. Both these factors are difficult to predict and would
continue to play major role in determining PTA prices.
The raw material prices of PTA are dependent on crude prices. Crude prices are difficult to
predict and would continue to play major role in determining PTA prices.
However, looking at the international scenario, demand-supply situation, it is predicted that
the PTA prices would remain stable during 2005-12.
67
6.1.2 Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG)
Mono ethylene glycol (MEG) is used as an input in the production of polyesters (staple fibres,
films and filament yarns), explosives, cosmetics, printing inks, anti-freeze and as coolant in
automobiles. In India the turnover of the MEG market was at over Rs. 18 billion in 2000-
2001.
The domestic MEG industry comprises of 5 players with total production capacity of 638,900
TPA. Around 88% of the MEG capacity is based on the petrochemical route, while the
balance capacity is based on alcohol route. The table 5.4 provides details of major players in
domestic MEG industry. From the table it can be observed that Reliance Industries Limited
(RIL) is the market leader with about 85% share.

Domestic MEG capacities increased between 1991-94, with IPCL, RIL and SM Dyechem
putting up new plants. Further, it is observed that the MEG capacities are concentrated in the
western region. Since, freight charges are significant, those downstream units located near the
raw materials have a cost advantage. The figure 5.4 below provides details of capacity
addition in the MEG industry.
Figure 6.2: Capacity Trend of MEG
Source: 2002-03Handbook of Statistics on Man Made Synthetic Fibre/Yarn Industry –
Association of Synthetic Fibre Industry
MEG production grew at an annual rate of 34% between 1991-03. The overall production as
on 2002-03 stands at about 611233 tonnes. The demand from polyester industry during 1991-
03 contributed significantly towards growth in MEG. Year wise production, y-o-y growth and
capacity utilisation of the industry is shown in figure 5.5 and 5.6. From the figures it can be
observed that the industry is operating at almost 100% capacity utilization and thus is
observing low growth during the last four years.
67
Figure 6.3: Imports - MEG
Source: 2002-03Handbook of Statistics on Man Made Synthetic Fibre/Yarn Industry –
Association of Synthetic Fibre Industry
Fresh investments in MEG industry would be required to meet the future demand from the
downstream polyester industry. RIL has already indicated that they would be expanding MEG
capacity by 240,000 TPA. This would result in an increase in industry capacity by about 38%
thereby improving availability of MEG in domestic market.
The prices of MEG in domestic market is finalised based on the landed cost of imports,
thereby ensuring that the prices are globally competitive. It is expected that MEG
manufacturers would continue to use the market driven approach to fix domestic MEG prices.
Analysis indicates that the MEG prices depend on factors similar to PTA.
Reduction in customs duty from a high of 60% in 1994-95 to a low of 20% from 2001
onwards has assisted in decreasing the domestic prices of MEG. However, further decrease in
customs duty during near future is not anticipated and thus customs duty is not expected to
play a major role in dictating domestic prices.
67
Availability of MEG in domestic market will not be a major problem as the industry leader is
adding capacities to meet the domestic demand. JBFIL would have location advantage of
having the project near RIL’s manufacturing facility.
International crude prices would be key determinant of MEG prices as majority manufacturers
use the petrochemical route. Further crude prices also determine the international freight
charges. Thus, crude prices would hold key to fluctuation in MEG prices.
However, looking at the international scenario, demand-supply situation, it is predicted that
the MEG prices would remain stable during long term.

8.4 Sensitivity Analysis (CONCLUSION)Various estimates of cost and revenue made in this report are on realistic side. Even though, a
contingency provision of 5% is made in the project cost. However, in every project there are certain
key factors and variables, which may affect the operating results. Sensitivity analysis identifies such
elements and their impact on the project.
Among several factors which have bearing on the proposed project viability, following factors have
the maximum uncertainty:
PET Chips price
Raw Material Price (PTA & MEG)
Capacity Utilization Levels
Project cost
Capacity utilisation
With respect to above factors following adverse scenarios have been considered for evaluation:
Case 1 : 5 % Reduction in Selling Price
Case 2 : 5% Increase in Raw Material Cost
Case 3 : 10% Decrease in Capacity Utilization
Case 4 : 10% Increase in Project Cost
Results of sensitivity analysis are presented below:

From the sensitivity analysis, it is quite evident that the project is most sensitive to changes in PET
Selling, followed by changes in Raw Material Price, Capacity Utilisation and Project Cost.
