No data was available before the launch of the project to do any kind of analysis. You can do the cost-benefit only after the project is launched, and you have the annual cost data (3 years in this case). They have taken into consideration the rise in costs for the next few years, and a steady state where the costs do not rise, again based on the data which is available. -- Chirag Anand http://atvariance.in -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
