PROJECT RATIONALE:
Ashulia and its surrounding areas is a fertile land where ground water is hygienic and arsenic free which is purify able, there is ample opportunity to bottle this water locally and for export. As the awareness of water born diseases is increasing coupled with modern trends of living the market of bottled mineral water is growing faster than the supply. There is thus the opportunity for investment in this sector. The market for purified bottled / mineral water is a growing market. Usually the top target market for bottled mineral water follows the perception. The stronger the distribution the more successful will be the new brand. The local market is huge in Bangladesh but there is a lot of opportunity to export water. While exports are very lucrative there will be implementation of WTO, for open and competitive commodity pricing and tough market competition.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY
There are around 15 players in the bottled water sector and more than hundreds of jar water plant manufacturers but very few well branded companies is in the Jar Water Market. According to the industry sources, the number of bottlers scales up well above 30 during summer season due to increased demand for drinking water. Bangladeshs bottled water market comprises of two main segments i.e. retail market and bulk market. The retail market consists of 0.5 liter, 1.5 liter, 3.1 liter and 5.0 liter capacity PET bottles. The bulk market consists of home and office delivers in 5 gallon jars or 18.9 liters jars.
The process of purified bottled water manufacturing consist of collecting water from a suitable source, filtration, demineralization, blending with salts, aeration, testing for standards conformation, bottling and packaging. But today there are more than 15 brands of drinking water available in the market thus showing a substantial growth by the industry.
BUSINESS PLAN
High quality goods to taste bottled water will be processed/produced for the end user. The plant will start its operation from 80 % capacity and finally reach 100 % capacity by the end of 5 years. There is also anticipated growth of 10 % in sale price of the product. As the expertise is developed the product can also be exported.

RAW MATERIALS
There are many sources of ground water in Ashulia, the project shall be located at site where require water is available.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
The first step for setting up a water purification plant is the analysis of source of water. After the chemical analysis, the specifications of the purification plant are set. In the purification plant, source water is stored in the feed water tank, passes through the sand filter for preliminary water filtration. Water then passes through the dosing pump-I where chlorine is added to kill the germs in the water. After the chlorination, water passes through carbon filter. It helps in the maintenance of proper odor and taste of the water. It also removes chlorine from water. Water is then passes from dosing pump-II, where Sodium Meta Bisulphate is added. It helps in dechlorination of water.
Water is filtered next and passes through dosing pump-III, where anti scallant is added. It prevents scaling of membrane from calcium, magnesium and biological growth. Water then passes through reverse osmosis module. This stage of the process makes water clear from all the contaminations and minute particles. Water then passes through dosing pump-IV, where minerals are added for taste development. After this stage, water undergoes Ultra Violet treatment to avoid any contamination from bacteria and other micro organisms. Water then passes through automatic washing, filling and capping plant. Here water is filled into bottles. After filling bottles are taken into the warehouse or shipped to the retailers. The complete process flow diagram is as under.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
Branding and marketing of bottled water is as essential as water for the survival of the human body. The traditional marketing tools include site advertisement, TV and print media advertising and brochures. This study allocates 04% of the revenue for advertising and promotional purposes. Apart from the traditional marketing tools, this study suggests to focus more on other marketing magnets that include interactive marketing, interactive marketing may include educating the general public
about the importance of water and its daily consumption requirements for human body through the participation in seminars and in general public gatherings (e.g. College and University gatherings). One of the marketing options is to sponsor public events like cricket matches or hospital campaigns, distributing free brochures about water and its daily consumption, water requirements in different age brackets. The interactive marketing may be designed through seminars and workshops about the daily human consumption requirements and diseases originating from the lack of pure water. Overall marketing strategy may change with the change of target market. A market research study is recommended to design the different dynamics of marketing before launching the new brand.
Marketing expense has been included in the total project cost and it has been estimated around Tk 4,80,000 annually. The entrepreneur may decide to increase or decrease the amount of marketing expense depending upon this choice of promotion activities and type of media used. Following table gives the breakup of the marketing expense.
Distribution is very important for the success of the new brand. The stronger the distribution the more successful will be the new brand. The distribution strategy should be designed after a careful study of the market for going for regional distribution or for nationwide distribution.

Financial Plan
The financial plan is to borrow Tk 3 Crore now as a long-term loan from a Bank, at an interest rate of 18% along with a capital of Tk 87 lac which is equal to the Net Worth to buy machineries and extend building which is suitable to our needs. We will repay
this loan within nine years from the cash flow of the business. We expect to have a cash flow from the very 1st month of the business operation. This investment will allow us to start our business which include producing: Jar water along with Mineral water which will give us a further edge over the local competition and enabling us to further expand into our target market, while increasing recognition of our name and services.
From the very start, management will start building the business and taking it to the highest level. There is a huge demand of drinking water in Bangladesh, and other than that the export opportunity is huge, so it is expected that the management will experience good time in the recent years. The management aim to be a leader in the mineral water market.
Important Assumptions
This business plan was developed for Bangla Drink Ltd. assuming the following:
Steady growth from good management, barring any unforeseen local or national disasters such as the economic slowdown seen by most of the country following the September 11th, 2001 tragedies. An adequate loan amount to allow for initial implementation of plans. Competition and buying patterns remain similar to those used for forecasting. Existing customer base maintained. Market research is on target and current (received from different state organizations). New customers will be gained through direct sales and advertising. Long-term interest rate will be no more than 18%. Income tax rate is 35%. Sales tax rate is 15%.
labourers and also directors. Further details are available in our Personnel table (above). Advertising and marketing expenses (news ads, magazine ads, etc.) are projected to be stable. Depreciation forecasted includes building and machineries in the mill(details provided in appendix). Depreciation is based on reducing balancing method at 10%. Fuel costs are projected to be stable as the capacity of the mill is stable. But if the management again on the 2nd or 3rd year expand their capacity, then fuel along with all other costs will go up. Assuming that 100% of production will be sold immediately and capacity being stable all other expenses are kept stable, but with the sales percentage fluctuating and capacity increasing or utilization not being 100% of capacity, the scenario will differ. The scenario analysis is explained later on. (Where we have seen that the company makes good profit and balance sheet is healthy enough).
