Valuation Services for Manufacturing Plant in India

India’s manufacturing sector, energized by initiatives like ‘Make in India’ and Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, is a powerhouse of growth and opportunity. For investors, owners, and financiers, a manufacturing plant represents one of the most significant capital investments. However, determining its true, current market value is a complex undertaking that intertwines the value of the real estate with the specialized machinery within.

Whether you are considering a merger, securing project financing, or restructuring your portfolio, a precise and defensible valuation is not just a report—it’s the bedrock of strategic decision-making. Navigating the diverse and regulated Indian market requires localized expertise and a rigorous methodology.

This is where Aviaan’s specialized valuation coordination service delivers clarity and confidence.

Why is a Professional Plant & Property Valuation Critical in India?

A formal valuation report provides an independent, evidence-based opinion of value that is crucial for a multitude of financial and strategic purposes:

Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A): Establishing a fair market value for the acquisition, sale, or merger of a manufacturing business, ensuring accurate purchase price allocation.
Project Financing and Secured Lending: Providing banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) with a reliable collateral assessment for loans, mortgages, and debt restructuring.
Joint Ventures and Strategic Partnerships: Determining the fair contribution of land, building, and plant & machinery assets when forming new alliances.
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Processes: Providing credible valuation reports for resolution plans, liquidation, and debt settlement under the IBC framework.
Financial Reporting and Compliance: Meeting Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) and IFRS requirements for fixed asset revaluation, impairment testing, and balance sheet reporting.
Insurance and Risk Management: Ensuring adequate coverage for property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) against risks like fire, natural disasters, and business interruption.
Legal Disputes and Tax Assessments: Supporting cases for arbitration, litigation, wealth tax, and corporate tax planning.

The Unique Complexity of Valuing a Manufacturing Plant in India

A manufacturing plant is a complex, integrated system. A standard commercial property valuation is entirely insufficient. Key factors that must be considered include:

Specialized Property vs. Marketability: A facility designed for a specific process (e.g., pharmaceutical API manufacturing) may have a lower market value than a multi-purpose industrial shed, despite a higher replacement cost.
Plant and Machinery (P&M) Valuation: The appraisal must differentiate between the building structure and the embedded infrastructure (cranes, electrical substations) and the movable machinery, accounting for import duties, technological obsolescence, and remaining useful life.
Functional and Economic Obsolescence: This assesses value loss due to plant layout inefficiencies, over-capacity, or external economic factors that reduce profitability.
Location and Infrastructure: Proximity to national highways, ports, railway sidings, and reliable power and water sources significantly enhances value. States like Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu offer distinct advantages.
Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to environmental clearances (from CPCB/SPCB), factory act regulations, and local municipal building codes is a critical value driver.
Income-Producing Potential: For a profitable going concern, the future cash flow generated by the operational plant is a primary determinant of its value.

The Valuation Methodology: A Rigorous, Multi-Pronged Approach

Our network of Registered Valuers (as mandated by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India – IBBI) and other approved partners employ a rigorous combination of standard approaches:

Asset-Based Approach (Cost Approach): Calculates the value based on the current cost to replace the property and machinery, minus all forms of depreciation. This is a cornerstone for manufacturing asset appraisal.
Market Approach: Compares the subject property and plant to similar manufacturing assets that have recently been sold in the Indian market, though finding true comparables can be challenging.
Income Capitalization Approach: Values the asset based on its ability to generate future economic benefits, capitalizing the expected income stream into a present value. This is critical for operational plants.

The final Valuation Report will transparently detail the methodologies used, the data analyzed, and the rationale behind the final value conclusion.

Case Study: Machinery & Property Valuation for IBC Resolution in Pune

Situation:
A consortium of banks took a defunct automotive component manufacturer in Pune under the IBC process. They required a fair and transparent valuation of the company’s assets—the land, building, and entire plant & machinery—to invite resolution plans.

Challenge:
The valuation needed to be conducted by an IBBI-Registered Valuer and had to accurately capture the value of both the specialized machinery, which had been idle for years, and the prime industrial land, in a highly compressed timeline.

Aviaan’s Solution:
Aviaan was engaged to coordinate the valuation. We immediately selected an IBBI-Registered Valuer for Plant & Machinery and another for Land & Building from our network. We facilitated a joint site inspection, managed data transfer, and ensured the valuation approaches were aligned with IBC requirements.

The valuers employed the Cost Approach for the machinery (accounting for heavy depreciation and obsolescence) and a combination of the Market and Income Approaches for the land and building.

Result:
The client received two robust, compliant valuation reports that provided a credible and defensible fair market value and liquidation value for the entire asset pool. These reports were successfully submitted to the NCLT and formed the critical basis for evaluating bids from potential resolution applicants, ensuring a transparent and efficient process.
