Market Research Report Published by: M. B. Sambhus & Associates, Chartered

ABSTRACT

The Indian Government has taken major initiatives to encourage Jatropha Plantations with a view to manufacture Bio-Diesel from Jatropha Oil. The Government has targeted to bring 11 Million hectares of land under Jatropha Cultivation by 2011 to manufacture 13 Million Tonnes Bio-Diesel. The Bio-Diesel will be blended with petro-diesel, starting with a 5% blend which will be increased to 20% and beyond in a phased manner. It is estimated that India will need 13 Million Tonnes of Bio-Diesel by 2011 making it a US $ 9 Billion market. Huge capacities of Bio-Diesel will have to be created to meet this demand. Many states and Indian Railways are offering lands on lease to private sector industries for developing Jatropha plantations.
Because of the huge demand for Bio-Diesel and scarce supply of petro-diesel, the price for Bio-Diesel is ruling high and it is expected to go higher. The projects having own source of Jatropha Seeds will be quite profitable with attractive long term returns.
This report extensively deals with the Bio-Diesel technology, Indian market scenario, estimated demand, proposed locations, Government initiatives, Estimated Cost of Project, Means of Finance, Projected Profitability (with extensive working notes for each head), Projected Cash Flow and Balance Sheet, Break Even Level, IRR (Project and Promoter), Pay Back Period and Sensitivity Analysis.
Prospective investors who wish to set-up Jatropha Plantation and Bio-Diesel projects in India would find the Report immensely useful.
