Introduction
From time immemorial, country-burned bricks were in use for the construction of civil structures. Eventually,
production of such bricks almost stopped due to many reasons. The mining of clay, the raw material of these
bricks, is restricted by the government on environmental concerns and this was one of such major reasons.
High production cost, high labour charge on construction using such small bricks, leads to the introduction of
cement building blocks, etc. This contributed to the extinction of the clay bricks industry.
Naturally, a cheap alternative, known as hollow bricks has been evolved which is made out of a mixture of
granite chips (baby metal) of 6MM size, a limited quantity of cement, granite fines, and sand/granite powder.
The cement to be used is also very limited since the hydraulic pressing is enforced on the concrete mixture,
which enables a compact setting of the product. The hollow bricks have holes in them, which retain air
cavities inside the walls when constructed with them. With the presence of air cavities, the temperature inside
the room is maintained when constructed with hollow bricks. This advantage of the product is another
attractive feature of the hollow bricks. It is cheap, easy to transport and construct, consumes less cement
mortar for construction. It maintains an even room temperature, which all have enabled hollow bricks to be
preferred for the construction of civil structures replacing the conventional country-burned bricks. The unit
satisfies the criteria of the Pollution Control Board and hence it can function well without much pollution and
disturbance to the neighbours. Therefore the scope of this project is very high.
Product / Services & process
The products proposed to be manufactured are hollow bricks and solid blocks of various dimensions from
cement, baby metal chips, and granite powder. the hollow blocks are made with holes in the blocks for making
it lightweight and cheaper. Moreover, the hollow blocks have thermal as well as sound proof properties to a
certain extent due to the air column within it. Normal size of the blocks are (8" x 4" x 12") and (8" x 6" x 12").
The products have a very good demand in the construction market.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Cement concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, aggregates (sand and stone chips) and water. Aggregates
passing through 4.7 mm IS sieve are known as fine aggregates and the aggregates retained on this sieve are
coarse aggregates. The process of manufacture of cement concrete paving blocks involves the following
steps:
• Proportioning
• Mixing
• Compacting
• Curing
• Drying
The raw materials such as cement, baby metal, and rock powder are mixed in a concrete mixer in due
proportion. The ratio of cement, sand and stone chips (metal) in the raw material mix determines the
properties of hollow concrete blocks. A ratio of 1:3:6 (cement: sand: metal) confers higher strength, while a
ratio of 1:5:6 can be employed for normal load-bearing construction. The water to cement ratio is usually 0:4:1.
The mixture is then collected in tipping barrows and fed into the molds of hydraulic block making machine.
This is vibrated for a few minutes at intervals to ensure complete compactness. Now these are pressed in the
hydraulic machine and the blocks thus formed are left on the cemented floor and the machine moves forward
and the above operations are repeated. Thus rows of concrete bricks are made and arranged in rows on the
floor. These blocks are left for 24 hours for initial setting. Then the blocks are collected, stacked in layers of 6
to 8 in numbers and water is sprinkled for 14-20 days for curing. After proper curing, the blocks are ready for
marketing.
Raw materials / Consumables
The raw materials required for manufacture of hollow and solid blocks are:
1. Cement
All the raw materials required by the unit are available throughout the year. The raw material can also be
procured from the nearby districts and from other states. Sufficient stock of raw materials will be ensured for
an uninterrupted production. The raw material required by the unit is proposed to be arranged through local
distributors.
Plant & Machinery / Equipments
The details of plant and machinery are enlisted in the fixed capital part of the project. They include:
3. Moulds
4. Trolleys
The proposed machines and tools are procured from reputed machinery suppliers with the utmost care.
Market potential & Strategy
India is the second-largest brick manufacturer in the world after China. Indian brick industry is almost entirely
unorganized and characterized by the presence of a large number of small-scale manufacturers which
compete with one another at the regional level. The bricks industry in India has recorded considerable growth
over the past few years, driven by the growth in infrastructure and construction activities. Moreover, India's
rising population, increase in per capita income, improved economic growth, industrialization, and rapid
urbanization has augmented the growth prospects of the blocks and bricks industry. Solid blocks are
commonly used to build load-bearing walls due to their density and compressive strength of 5 Newton/meter
square which is much higher than other types of concrete blocks. Whereas, hollow blocks were the second
most preferred concrete blocks in India with a market share of 35%. They have better-insulating properties,
more durable, easier to install electrical and plumbing fixtures. Hollows blocks are used as outer or inner walls
in high-rise buildings to reduce the overall dead load of the building. A market study in this regard reveals the
high potential of a hollow bricks unit due to the flourishing construction activities in the area. Marketing is the
decision-making factor of any enterprise and by knowing this, the promoter has taken all possible ways to
market his products and services by canvassing works from builders, contractors, and house owners. He can
use his wide personal contacts also for grabbing orders. The promoter can easily understand the taste and
needs of the customer due to his several years of experience, which will help him in marketing his products
and maintain customer satisfaction.

Conclusion
The project as a whole describes the scope and viability of the Manufacturing industry and mainly of the
financial, technical and its market potential.The project guarantee sufficient fund to repay the loan and also
give a good return on capital investment. When analyzing the social- economic impact, this project is able to
generate an employment of 5 and above. It will cater the demand of Manufacturing and thus helps the other
business entities to increase the production and service which provide service and support to this industry.
Thus more cyclic employment and livelihood generation. So in all ways, we can conclude the project is
technically and socially viable and commercially sound too.
When we take a close look at the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), the avg: DSCR is 87,974.20 : 1, which is
at a higher proposition and proposes a stable venture
The Profit and Loss shows a steady growth in profit throughout the year and the firm has a good Current
Ratio (average) of 2.77, this shows the current assets and current liabilities are managed & balanced well.
