Project report guides by sector: what banks expect

A detailed project report (DPR) is the document a bank reads before it sanctions a term loan, and the one a subsidy department asks for with a claim. The format is broadly the same across sectors: the project and the promoter, the cost of project and how it is financed, projections for several years, the repayment schedule and the ratios a lender checks, and then the risks, approvals and incentives.

What changes from one sector to another is the description: how the unit works, what it buys, which utilities and licences it needs, who its customers are, who it employs and what can go wrong. Each guide below sets that out for one sector from the library our free DPR builder uses, lists the open Haryana and Central schemes our catalogue tags for the sector, and shows a worked cost of project built with the builder's own arithmetic.

The 24 sections every guide follows

The project and the promoter

Who is setting up the unit, what it will make or sell, how the work is done, where the inputs come from, who will buy, where the unit sits and how long it takes to start. A banker reads these first to judge whether the promoter understands the business.

The money

What the project costs, how it is paid for, the assumptions behind the projections, the yearly profit, cash flow and balance sheet, the loan repayment schedule, and the ratios a lender looks at: debt service coverage, break-even and the key indicators. Every figure flows from the cost of project and the assumptions, so they must agree with each other.

Cost of Project · Means of Finance · Key Assumptions · Projected Profitability Statement · Term Loan Repayment Schedule · Depreciation Schedule · Projected Cash Flow Statement · Projected Balance Sheet · Debt Service Coverage Ratio · Break-Even Analysis · Key Financial Indicators

Risks, approvals and support

An honest SWOT, the licences and registrations the activity needs, the government incentives the unit may claim (named, not counted as income), and a conclusion that states the result of the projections without overstating them.

Questions about project reports

What is a detailed project report?

A detailed project report describes a proposed business and projects its finances for the years of the loan: cost of project, means of finance, profitability, cash flow, balance sheet, repayment, debt service coverage and break-even. Banks use it to appraise a term loan and departments use it with subsidy claims. The bank format our builder follows has 24 numbered sections.

Where does the text of these guides come from?

From the sector library our DPR builder uses to write the descriptive sections of a report, the section list of the report it prints, and our scheme catalogue. The library is qualitative by design: it holds no market size, growth rate or typical cost, because those must come from the promoter's own enquiries.

Are the costs in the worked example typical for each sector?

No. They are assumed lines, labelled as such, run through the same cost and loan arithmetic as the builder to show how the cost of project and the means of finance are built. Your report should use your own quotations and the bank's terms.

Which States do the scheme lists cover?

Haryana and Central schemes, open and claimable by an individual unit on the date the pages were built, named with each scheme's own ceiling. The eligibility checker also matches Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh schemes for a specific unit.

Who should review a project report before it goes to the bank?

A Chartered Accountant. The free builder prints that note on every page of the file it produces. Our expert team can review a report you prepared, or prepare it with you, as part of the subsidy and DPR service.
