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.

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 –
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
