About the Shopping Mall Project
What the project involves
A cable manufacturing unit produces electrical and communication cables used to transmit power, signals, or data across power distribution networks, telecommunications systems, construction, and industrial automation. A cable generally consists of one or more conductors — usually copper or aluminum — insulated and protected using materials such as PVC, XLPE, rubber, or thermoplastic compounds.
Core activities
Site development, civil construction, interior fit-outs for tenants, and shared infrastructure such as elevators, escalators, HVAC, fire safety, and parking. Once operational, the mall runs on a leasing or revenue-sharing model with occupying brands.

Financial Feasibility of the Project
The feasibility report evaluates the shopping mall’s financial standing by assessing rental and revenue assumptions based on the planned tenant mix, along with operating expenses such as maintenance, staffing, and utilities. It works out the working capital requirement, profit & loss projections, and a cash flow statement covering the operating period.
The report also identifies the break-even point and evaluates the project’s debt-servicing and repayment capacity against the proposed loan terms, arriving at an overall view of financial viability.
