Let’s get started –

What is the difference between packaged water and mineral water plant.

Before getting into detailed business plan, you need to understand the difference between packaged drinking water plant and mineral water plant. Many people do not know the differences and get confused at the very beginning of their business venture.

Packaged Drinking Water or Bottled water Plant – In this plant, we process borewell water and we reduce the TDS(Total Dissolved Solid) in borewell water with the help of RO process i.e Reverse Osmosis Process. Packaged drinking water does not contains any minerals.

Mineral Water Plant – In this plant, we use water from natural sources like spring water and mountain water. These waters contain mineral which is beneficial for human consumption. In mineral water plant we process and add minerals to water if required. Minerals found in mineral water are sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc.

In this article I will share information for setting up of packaged drinking water plant which is also known as bottled drinking water plant.

What type of licenses are required?

The following licenses and documents are required for setting up a bottled water plant in India:

• Small scale industry registration certificate
• AOA and MOA of the business
• ISI certification from Bureau of Indian Standards ( BIS )
• Pollution control certificate from local pollution board office
• Feed water test report from laboratory
• Pest control certificate

Steps involved in packaged driking water production

• Identify source of raw water – This is the first step in which you will decide about the source of water which you will use in production of packaged drinking water. The source of water could be bore well water, muncipal supply or other sources in which treatment is possible.
• Store raw water – The next process is to store raw water in raw water storage tank with the help of pumping system. Submercible pump could be used in case of bore well water.
• Water treatment system – In water treatment process, we use clorine dosing system, water softening process, reverse osmosis (RO), UV sterilization and Ozone disinfection.
• Testing of water – In this process we test purified water in inhouse water testing laboratory. In the laboratory, water is tested for micro biological and chemical parameters. We will discuss about type of laboratory requiment later in this article.
• Purified water storage (Bottles/Jars/Pouch) – Production machinery is required to blow blottles and store purified water in it. Similarly, machines are available for storage in jars and pouches.

Process Involved in purification of raw water (Technical Aspects)

• Coagulation process – This is the first step in which we add Alum chemical in raw water to remove impurities. The Alum chemical produces positive charges which stick together with negative charge of the particals and forms large particles which can be removed easily. After coagulation process, water is allowed to settle for 1 hour.
• Reverse Osmosis – With the help of RO process we remove dissolved impurities such as salts from water.
• Chlorination of water – This process is used to kill bacterias and other micro organism with the help of bubbling chlorine gas in chlorination tank.
• Sand filteration – The water is then passed through sand filters to remove undissolved impurities.
• Carbon filteration de-chlorination – After sand filteration process, we then pass water through carbon filter which removes odour and colour. Dechlorification also takes place using carbon filters.
• Packing and bottling – Packing and bottling is done with the help of machines.

Packaged Drinking Water Plant Cost Estimation

From the above table, we come to know that cost of machines for starting mineral water plant is around 15 lakhs rupess. Apart from machinery, you will need a proper location for plant installation and some basis furniture.

After the installation of plant, you have make a proper business plan for production of bottled drinking water. That business plan will include following details –

• Salary and wages for staffs
• Working capital per month
• Production target
• Other expensenses in raw materials if any

Production Capacity & Profit Margin Calculation

Total Production of your plant will depend on how many hours you will work i.e number of shifts assuming that 1 shift is of 8 hours. Suppose you will 2 shifts i.e 16 hours. Therefore, you can produce 8000 bottles in 8hrs.

Profit Margin Calculation –

Now we will calcute yearly profit in this business:-

• Daily production is 8000 bottles i.e yearly production will be 8000 X 365 = 2920000 Bottles
• No. Of crates – assuming one crate has 12 bottles – 2920000/12 = 24333 crates yearly
• Selling price of one crate will be – Rs 80 per crate
• Total turnover – 80 x 24333 = Rs 1 Crore 94 lakhs
• Total profit = Turnover – cost of production

Now you have to calculate the cost of production of 24333 crates. The cost of production will include salary to staff, raw materials expenses, electricity usage, laboratory expenses and other expenses.

The cost of production of 24333 crates of packaged drinking water will come around 12 lakhs monthly. So annual cost of production will be 1 crore 44 Lakhs

Total profit = 1 crore 94 lakhs – 1 crore 44 lakhs = 50 lakhs Annualy

Branding and Marketing

As the demand of packaged drinking water is increasing rapidly, you have to capture the market and start promoting your brand as soon you start production. Include marketing expenses in your business plan and use it accordingly.

The process of setting up a mineral water plant typically includes obtaining a business license, renting or purchasing factory space, buying equipment, and hiring staff. Other considerations may include obtaining permits, conducting market research, and creating a marketing plan.

The demand for mineral water is difficult to quantify due to the numerous factors that can affect it. Some of these factors include the price of alternative beverages, weather conditions, and health trends. In general, though, the demand for mineral water tends to be fairly high, especially in developed countries where clean water is readily available.

The challenges in setting up a mineral water plant include: 1. Finding a source of water that is high in mineral content. 2. Ensuring that the water is properly filtered and treated before bottling. 3. Creating a market for the mineral water.

The type of management required for a mineral water plant depends on the size and scope of the operation. For a small operation, management may only need to be concerned with daily production and quality control. For a larger operation, management may also need to be involved in marketing, distribution, and finance.

The cost of setting up a mineral water plant in India depends on a number of factors, including the scale of production, the raw materials used, the equipment used, and the location of the plant. A small-scale mineral water plant may cost as little as Rs. 2 lakhs, while a large-scale plant may cost as much as Rs. 20 crore.

There are several marketing strategies that can be used for a mineral water plant. One strategy is to focus on the health benefits of drinking mineral water. This can be done through advertising and using health professionals to promote the benefits of drinking mineral water. Another strategy is to focus on the taste and quality of the mineral water. This can be done through using celebrity endorsements, special events, and social media campaigns.

What is the profit margin for a mineral water plant?

As a business consultant, I have worked with numerous mineral water plants and helped them increase their profitability. Profit margins vary across different industries, but in the case of a mineral water plant, the profit margin can be calculated by subtracting the cost of production from the selling price of the product.

For example, if a mineral water plant sells a bottle of water for $1 and its production cost is $0.20 per bottle, then its profit margin would be $0.80 or 80%.

• Try to keep the production cost low without compromising quality.
• Offer discounts to customers to increase sales volume.

However, it is important to note that profit margin can fluctuate depending on market demand and competition. A mineral water plant may have to lower its profit margins during a competitive market scenario to maintain sales volume.

For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a surge in the demand for bottled water, some mineral water plants had to reduce their profit margins to keep up with the demand and to avoid losing customers to competitors.

In conclusion, the profit margin for a mineral water plant can vary depending on numerous factors such as production cost, demand, and competition in the market. It is essential to monitor profit margins constantly and make changes when necessary to maintain a healthy business.

Key Takeaways:

Potential Revenue Streams for a Mineral Water Plant

As a pro business consultant who has helped many businesses increase their profitability, I understand that identifying potential revenue streams is crucial. After conducting extensive research and analyzing successful mineral water plants, I have identified the following potential revenue streams: 1. Sales of Mineral Water Bottles

The most obvious revenue stream for a mineral water plant is the sales of bottled water.

Apart from selling bottled water directly to end consumers, mineral water plants can also distribute their products to retailers and supermarkets. This allows them to tap into a wider market and sell their products in bulk. This segment requires extensive marketing efforts to establish a brand and build relationships with retailers, but it has the potential to generate substantial revenue.

• Offer flexible payment options such as credit terms to retailers
• Distribute product samples to retailers to attract attention
• Offer regular promotions and discounts to encourage retailers to promote your products

Mineral water plants can also generate additional revenue streams by manufacturing customized products such as flavored mineral water, infused water, and sparkling water. These products offer a unique selling point and have a higher price point compared to regular mineral water. This segment requires extensive research and development efforts to create unique and innovative products that appeal to the target market.

• Conduct thorough research about the target market preferences
• Offer small sample bottles to customers to generate interest
• Partner with local restaurants and cafes to supply customized products

In conclusion, by offering a range of products and services, mineral water plants can generate substantial revenue streams. However, it is essential to conduct extensive research about the target market preferences, build strong relationships with retailers, and invest in research and development to stay ahead of the competition.

How Can a Mineral Water Plant Differentiate Itself from Its Competitors?

Another way to differentiate yourself is by considering what your competitors are doing and what gaps exist in the market that they have not filled. You might conduct market research to identify these gaps and tailor your offering accordingly. For instance, if most of your competitors do not distribute their products in refillable bottles, you can capitalize on this to attract customers who want more environmentally friendly options. You could also focus on catering to specific customer needs, such as targeting athletes by emphasizing the hydration benefits of your mineral water.

Moreover, you can establish your brand by reaching out to and partnering with local organizations, restaurants, cafes, and stores. By collaborating with local businesses, you can cater to the specific preferences and needs of your local community.

These are just a few examples of ways to differentiate yourself in the mineral water industry. Every business is unique, and the strategies that will work for you may differ depending on your target audience and your competitors.

The paper examines the profitability or viability of small-scale packaged water factory in Nigeria using JABU packaged water factory as a case study. The paper uses a combination of descriptive analysis and simple mathematical formulae to compute the profitability and the degree of operating leverage of the factory. The result reveals that the firm is able to make some profit at the end of the first year from which the entrepreneurship dividend could shared showing that the firm is able to break-even. This suggests that the packaged water business is a viable business in Nigeria if the same scenario operates in other packaged water factories in Nigeria while the break-even analysis supports the production of bottled water. This therefore suggest that the packaged water production should be encouraged in Nigeria under a guided atmosphere such that non-registered packaged water factories are not allowed to produce untreated water for human consumption, that the water source be subjected to periodic test by analysts and that packaged water should be produced under hygienic condition that conforms with the standard required by the World Health Organization.

All production firms aim at maximizing profit after sales of their products but due to lack of technological and scientific approach in the production setting, many cannot achieve the stated objectives. This study showed the trend of production of sachet water at AWCL which gave the quantity of sachet water produced in each month for the year, 2011. The major objective of this study is to minimize the total cost of production at AWCL using Linear Programming model. The optimal solution to the production planning problem was generated by LP Solver and the demand and supply at each month were determined. The AWCL incurs cost of GH¢1.2355 when producing a bag of sachet water but with the use of linear Programming model, the cost of producing a bag of water was reduced to GH¢0.831519. The analysis also showed that, increasing the wages of regular workers and reducing that of overtime help the company to produce more with minimum cost of production. AWCL should employ more overtime labour when it is necessary to meet the urgent demands from the customers. Instead of employing more manual labour force, the company could have used machinery that can do assembling and packaging of the sachet water. Computer – based planning (scheduling) help the manufacturers to attend to orders from their respective customers easily and to enhance on – time delivery of products. The computerized planning performs better and faster than manual scheduling tools. The analysis showed that the production planning can facilitate the production processes in a way that help the company to streamline the activities that go on during acquisition of raw materials for production and the demands from the customers could be met when the wages of regular labour force are increased.
