Introduction

Automobile body (Bus Body) building is an important activity. The chasis are supplied by Automobile manufacturers, and body is built by automobile body builders as per the requirements of the customer and specifications of the different State Transport Undertakings.

Market Potential

Bus is used as the most common public transport vehicle in our country. Different State Transport Undertakings are plying their buses for commuting public from one place to another and from one State to another. Apart from these Undertakings, Private Bus Operators, travel agencies etc. are also operating buses on permit basis. With rapid changes in the society, now a days it has become necessary to provide good and efficient service to the public. Also with the rapid industrialisation, public is moving very frequently from one place to another using public transport. Since more and more development in the coming years, it is expected that demand of public transport, private transport and luxury transport in the form of buses will increase in the coming years.

Basis and Presumptions

1.  Working will be for 3 shifts per day of 08 hrs each at minimum 75% working efficiency to achieve the envisaged production capacity.

2. A time period of three years has been considered for achieving the full capacity utilisation after start of commercial production.

3. Labour wages are considered as per the prevailing market rates.

4. Interest on fixed and working capital investment has been calculated at an average rate of 12% per annum.

5. The cost of land and building has been calculated as per the prevailing market prices, and these rates are likely to vary from place to place.

Implementation Schedule

The following activities are to be completed and the approximate time for each activity is as mentioned against each of them:

Sl. No. Activity Period (in Weeks)
1. Selection of product 4
2. Selection of Industrial site 2
3. Provisional registration 2
4. Preparation of project Report 2
5. Application for finance and getting Loan sanctioned 24
6. Recruitment of man power 4
7. Purchase and Installation of machinery 14
8. Trial Run 1

It is necessary to obtain permanent Registration Certificate from the concerned District Industries Centre after commencement of commercial production.

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

Metal sheets are cleaned and derusted for grease/oil if any. Then sheets are cut to size for forming different parts and these parts are formed on press brake. Now different parts and their subassemblies are fabricated as per their design and size. These parts and subassemblies are fabricated– together to make them a complete bus body. The complete body is painted as per the requirements of the customer. Shower test is carried out for leakage etc.

Production Capacity (per annum)

Quantity : 324 Nos.
Value : Rs 13,51,00,000
Motive Power : 150 HP (Approx.)

Pollution Control

The manufacturing/fabrication of bus body does not pose any problem for pollution. However, proper ventilation is to be done in shop floor area and painting area. Provision for pollution control equipments has been made in this Project Profile.

Energy Conservation

Suitable energy efficient motors are to be used on proposed machines with provision of recommended shunt capacitors.
