INTRODUCTION:
Lead Acid Storage Batteries
is an electro-chemical system that converts
electrical energy into direct current electricity. It is also known as storage
batteries and has wide applications in Automobiles, UPS/Inverters,
Traction/Electrical Sub-Station, Telecommunication, Solar Photovoltaic
system etc.
MARKET POTENTIAL:
Lead Acid Storage Batteries
have many applications as stated above
and automobile sector consumes the bulk of lead acid batteries. The
recent growth in the automobile sector has given tremendous boost to the
demand of lead acid batteries. The market size is approximately Rs. 1,300
crores and is growing @ 18 – 20%. The major automobile batteries
manufacturing units are Exide, Amar Raja, Standard Furuka, etc. There
are many registered small scale units engaged in manufacturing of these
batteries like Sahni Batteries, Premier Batteries, Gupta Batteries etc.
Besides this, a no. of units in the unorganized sector are also engaged in
manufacturing as well as reconditioning of scrapped batteries.
BASIS & PRESUMPTIONS:
The cost of machinery and equipment is of particular make and prices
are approximate.
All the operations involved in manufacturing of batteries packs will be
done in industrial workshop of the unit.
This project report is prepared on the basis of single shift basis of 8 hrs
of working in a day. Total working days in a year come about 300 nos.
assuming 75% efficiency.
The skilled and semi-skilled workers in the line are available in the
local area.
The rental value of the land and built-up area has been stipulated on
the basis of rate prevailing in the industrial area. It may vary from
place to place.
Rate of interest has been calculated @16%. However, this figure is
likely to vary depending on the financial outlay of the project and
location of the unit.
The provisions made in other respects viz; personnel, utilities, raw
material and overhead etc. are based on the prevailing market rates.
All the machinery, raw material would be available from the
indigenous sources.
The break-even point in this project has been calculated on envisaged
capacity utilisation basis.
The operative period of this project is estimated to be about 10 years
considering technology obsolescence.
Cost of imported items (both raw material and machinery) is inclusive
of all taxes/duties and is likely to vary as per the international market
prices.

The proposed project has been considered for UPS of 500 VA,
minutes of backup time. However, cost of production of other sizes of
UPS may be calculated on similar lines, based on design and
components required for the manufacturing the required size of UPS.
The basic philosophy remain same for all sizes of UPS.
