ANALYSIS ANALYSIS
MARKET ANALYSIS
• Has the availability of raw materials, power ad other inputs been established?
• Is the selected scale of operation optimal?
• Is the production process chosen suitable?
• Are the equipment & machine chosen appropriate ?
• Has provision been made for treatment of effluents?
• Is the proposed layout of the site, building and plant sound ?
• Have work schedules been drawn up realistically ?
• Is the technology proposed to be employed appropriate from the social point of view ?

implications such as power plants, irrigation schemes. Manufacturing of bulk drugs, chemicals, leather
processing etc. The key question raised in ecological analysis are as follows:
• What is the likely damage caused by the project to the environment ?
• What is the cost of the restoration measure required to ensure that the damage to the environment is
contained within acceptable limits ?
