Automated Car Wash Center in Dehradun

Feasibility Study Report

1. Market Analysis

• Target consumers:
• Customer Segmentation: To concentrate on the range of consumers who will be utilizing the car
wash facility, it will be beneficial to concentrate on individual automobile owners, taxi services,
business delivery services, and car rental services.

• Surveys: In order to manage rush hours, I could either perform a survey or secondary research on
the frequency of car wash services used by potential clients as well as the best time and day to do
so.

• Present Demand: Determining the demand and frequency of washing will be made easier with the
help of an estimate of the number of vehicles in Dehradun.

needs, and customer preferences.

2. Competitor Analysis

• I can analyze the competition that will be encountered when putting up a car wash facility by
identifying the current car wash centers in the area that utilize both automated and manual
methods, evaluating their price and service quality, and analyzing the technology they employ.

• If the gaps listed below are taken into account, competitor analysis can also be performed;
1. Service flaws such as protracted wait periods and uneven hand washing quality.
2. Technological gaps, such as rivals' lack of eco-friendly procedures or contemporary technologies.
3. Pricing Gaps: It's possible that rivals charge exorbitant prices without providing better value.

Market Size Estimation: To estimate the market size, one can calculate the total number of possible
clients and estimate the revenue generated by each vehicle wash.

a) 1. Technical Feasibility: This section will discuss how to choose intelligently and take into
account the factors required for better outcomes, which may make the car wash center operate
more smoothly and efficiently.
2. Financial Feasibility: To determine whether the project's costs are reasonable, we will
perform a financial analysis, NPV computation, and sensitivity analysis in this section.

b) Financial Analysis:
c) NPV Calculation:

d) Sensitivity analysis: In financial modeling, sensitivity analysis is a technique used to

investigate the effects of different independent variable values on a certain dependent variable
under specific conditions. To predict the outcome of a particular project, financial analysts most
commonly use a financial sensitivity analysis, also known as a what-if analysis or a what-if
simulation exercise.

4. Legal and Environmental Considerations:
In India, local municipal administrations or development authorities are usually in charge of zoning
laws and land-use permits. My legal process will go more smoothly if I get in touch with the Dehradun
Municipal Corporation for zoning information.The land use for different regions, including as
residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zones, is outlined in Dehradun's master plan. By
confirming if the suggested site is inside an area that permits business operations, especially for
service-oriented enterprises like car washes.Because certain locations may have restrictions or
particular requirements for businesses that use a lot of water or discharge wastewater, this car wash
project will undoubtedly be eligible by checking the precise zoning regulations for the car wash
center. The car wash center will open on schedule if the planned location satisfies the requirements
for businesses that handle water treatment and disposal.Additionally, by reviewing the Water
Management and Environmental Regulations, this Car wash facilities frequently have to abide by
environmental laws, especially those pertaining to water use and wastewater treatment, and they
may need to seek advice from the Uttarakhand Pollution Control Board on wastewater disposal.You
must apply for permissions after verifying that the region is permitted for a vehicle wash. These could
include permits for water and sewage hookups, environmental clearances, and company
licenses.Seeking Legal Counsel: To make sure that all zoning and permit requirements are met, it
could also be helpful to speak with a local legal professional who specializes in real estate and
business rules.
