What Is the Project Cost for Setting Up a Stone Crusher Plant in India?

Time: 30 May 2021

Setting up a stone crusher plant in India involves a variety of costs depending on the scale, scope, and complexity of the project. Here are the general cost components and considerations for estimating the project cost:

Estimated Costs Breakdown:

1. Machine and Equipment Cost

The cost of machinery depends on the capacity, technology, and brand. Key equipment for a stone crusher plant includes:

• Primary Crusher (Jaw Crusher or Impact Crusher): ₹8–40 lakhs
• Secondary Crusher (Cone Crusher or Impact Crusher): ₹10–50 lakhs
• Vibrating Screens and conveyors (for segregation and transportation): ₹5–30 lakhs
• Feeder Unit: ₹3–10 lakhs
• Other ancillary equipment (e.g., motors, belts): ₹5–15 lakhs

2. Land Cost

Land requirements vary based on the plant size and capacity:

• Small plant: Minimum 2–5 acres
• Medium/large plant: 10 acres or more
• Land costs could range between ₹5–50 lakhs per acre depending on the location (rural or urban areas).

3. Civil Construction and Infrastructure Costs

Includes the foundation, crushing area, buildings, storage spaces, etc.:

• Approximately ₹15–50 lakhs depending on the plant size and locality.

4. Power and Utilities

Stone crushers consume considerable amounts of power, and setup costs for electricity connections can be significant:

• Electricity setup: ₹5–15 lakhs
• Generator (optional backup): ₹8–15 lakhs

5. Labor and Workforce

Cost for hiring skilled and unskilled labor for operations:

• Monthly wages: ₹1–3 lakhs (depends on workforce size & location)

6. Administrative and Licensing Costs

Includes licenses, pollution control permissions, environmental clearances, etc.:

• Approximately ₹2–4 lakhs for legal permits and certifications.

7. Transportation and Logistics Costs

Includes transportation of raw materials, equipment, and finished goods:

• ₹3–10 lakhs depending on the distance and location.

8. Maintenance Costs

Periodic maintenance for machinery:

• Annual cost: ₹4–10 lakhs

Approximate Setup Cost by Plant Capacity:

1. Small-scale Plant (20–50 TPH): ₹50–70 lakhs
2. Medium-scale Plant (100–200 TPH): ₹2–5 crore
3. Large-scale Plant (300+ TPH): ₹5–10 crore

Other Considerations:

• Government regulations, environmental impacts, and taxes could affect the costs.
• Finance options such as bank loans may also be worth considering to manage upfront costs.

Please note that these estimates can vary based on factors like location, market demand, and specific requirements. For precise estimates, consulting experienced project engineers and suppliers directly is recommended.
