41 Herein, case of a three million ton per annum integrated cement plant having nominal capacity of 6500 TPD clinker (maximum 7500TPD) with PPC grinding of 10,000 TPD is illustrated. Feasibility Study & Detailed Project Report (DPR) Also termed as Techno Economic Project Report is essential to have a picture about the Project and its future gains. Sometimes a company skips this being overconfident or does it only for the purpose of meeting bank / financial institution requirement which I think is misleading oneself. A well thought and exercised DPR can be reference for the entire project execution period as well as review document after commissioning of the plant. The Techno Economic Project Report must cover following areas  Market Assessment - regional & national with projection for a period of ten years. Should include major players in the market and their market share. Production Capacity of each player, capacity utilisation, demand –supply gap etc.  Technical Concept – Proposed Plant Capacity, Estimated Project Cost, Main Equipment Capacity, Specification of Main Equipment & Accessories, Manpower, Estimated Cost of Production.  Raw Materials – availability, quality, requirement, usage, cost per ton.  Manufacturing Process and product types.  Plant Description o Plant Capacity o Plant Layout (preliminary). o Process Flow Sheet (preliminary). o Raw Materials & Quality Assurance. o Civil Construction description. o Main Equipment Specification & Storages - Electrical, Instrumentation & Control System. - Utility Systems.  Costs & Financial Viability  Project Cost details with summary of investment.  Mode of Financing.  Estimated Cost of Production.
