Technology and machinery benchmarks
For hotel (3-4 star) (large scale), the technology selection within KAMRIT's Tier 2 Bankable DPR is comparison-led across Indian, Chinese, European, and Japanese suppliers. Capex per unit of output, energy consumption, manpower per shift, output quality, and after-sales support availability inside India are scored together to pick the path that balances entry capex against operating cost. At large-cap scale, European or Japanese line technology becomes economically defensible because the per-unit conversion cost savings amortise over higher throughput. Chinese options remain 25-40% cheaper at entry but carry higher operating-life uncertainty.
