The business plan is to manufacture air, oil, fuel and hydraulic filters for heavy transports
such as bus, truck etc. Filter is one the products that the heavy transports owners need to buy
very frequently. And thus we are going to make it easily accessible to them at much cheaper
rates. Currently, the filters are imported from India at much higher prices. Thus we will
manufacture and sell these filters at a much cheaper rate but of better quality. This business
will also get to create many jobs for the mechanical, chemical and electrical engineers of our
country. Considering the manufacturing process and the distribution, this untouched area has
the potential to make tons of money. As we will be producing in our domestic market, so we
wont need to pay extra tax for importing from abroad. Our target customers are the heavy
vehicle companies and the owners and we will make our products accessible to most of
the major cities of Bangladesh. We will promote our products through the automobile shops

number of heavy transports. The transport owners need to buy filters very often for their bus,
truck etc. And with the increasing number of vehicles, the demand for filters is also
increasing.
Economic- Bangladesh is investing on infrastructures and other development projects. For
that, heavy vehicles are always required for transporting goods and materials. Thus
companies are buying more and more heavy-vehicles and thus they also pay for the
maintenance cost of those vehicles.
Technological- Advanced up-to-date technology will be used to manufacture the filters.
Political- There are likely to be no political problem arising due to this business. It is a totally
politically unbiased idea. And more importantly political instability is least likely to hamper
the business of filters as transports are always going to run on roads.

try to advertise with some extended USP.
Initially we are supposed to feel less threat in the market. This is mainly
because we are the only one to manufacture currently. In the initial stage we
are likely to be a monopoly. Still in order to ensure that we have a rigid
position in the market we will maintain a good relation with our customer,
will maintain a healthy relation with the workers and will maintain the
quality of the product and ensure that we can deliver better to our customers
expectations.

IDLC will be funding the first ever heavy transport part manufacturers in Bangladesh. They
will get to promote themselves on a huge scale, locally for being the pioneer to contribute on
establishing such niche market.
It is very similar to CocaCola when Abdul Monem first brought it to Bangladesh. The ones
who financed then, has well-established their names and brands in the market and are
enjoying a smooth regular flow of income.
