Greenfield plant projects — one accountable point across civil, utilities, and process

A greenfield anodizing or powder coating plant in India has 200+ interdependent decisions across civil, utilities, equipment, and process. We run the project so you don't have to coordinate six vendors who don't talk to each other.

Greenfield aluminium surface treatment plants fail more often from vendor coordination gaps than from technical mistakes. The civil contractor pours a floor before the equipment vendor confirms tank anchor points; the electrical contractor runs cable before the rectifier spec is finalised; the commissioning engineer arrives before utilities are stable. Every one of these is expensive to fix retroactively. We run the project end-to-end — one person accountable from site evaluation to first commissioned batch.

What the service covers

Site evaluation

Ground conditions, utility availability (power, water, gas), drainage, effluent discharge feasibility, regulatory zoning.

Utility planning

Power load (HT connection sizing), water (soft water plant + DI for rinses), compressed air, gas, and steam if needed.

Equipment vendor selection

Shortlisting, RFQ, bid comparison on technical and commercial terms. We do not take vendor commissions.

Civil works coordination

Floor loading, chemical-resistant flooring, effluent trench routing, crane beam design. Civil drawings reviewed before tender.

Installation supervision

Site visits during equipment arrival, tank setting, piping, and electrical. Issues caught during install, not during commissioning.

Trial production support

First commissioned batches, progressive ramp-up, operator handover. We stay until your team runs independently.

How we approach it

  1. Feasibility study — product mix, throughput, CAPEX band, OPEX projection, regulatory feasibility (TNPCB/MPCB/CPCB consents).
  2. Concept design — line type (anodizing / powder coating / combined), throughput model, layout option study.
  3. Detailed engineering — equipment spec, utility spec, civil drawings, electrical layout, effluent treatment spec.
  4. Procurement — vendor selection, techno-commercial evaluation, PO placement. All vendors report to the project, not to individual functional owners.
  5. Construction & installation — civil, MEP, equipment installation, piping, cabling. Weekly review with all stakeholders.
  6. Commissioning & handover — trial production across full product range, quality validation, operator training, post-commissioning support.

What you get at handover

Frequently asked questions

How long does a greenfield plant take?

From feasibility sign-off to first commissioned batch, 10–18 months is typical for a standalone anodizing or powder coating line. Combined lines are 14–22 months. The critical path is usually civil works and HT power connection, not equipment.

Can you work with our existing civil contractor and vendors?

Yes — we often do. Your existing team handles what they're good at; we cover the process side and the cross-vendor coordination. What doesn't work is a split where nobody owns the interfaces — that's the failure mode we explicitly prevent.

Do you help with PCB consents and approvals?

We prepare the process-side documentation (water balance, effluent quality projection, chemical inventory) and work with specialist consultants for the paperwork. Consent timelines are state-specific — TNPCB 4–8 weeks, MPCB 6–12 weeks, others variable.

What's a realistic CAPEX range?

Small anodizing-only plant: ₹2–4 crore installed. Mid-size with hard anodizing and ETP: ₹5–8 crore. Full-scale combined anodizing + powder coating greenfield: ₹10–18 crore including land development but excluding land cost. These are 2026 numbers; material costs shift them.
