Detailed Project Reports & Feasibility Studies

Bankable DPRs and feasibility studies for new projects in India and abroad — from candle plants in the USA to copper mines in Zambia.

Overview

What this covers

Detailed Project Reports and feasibility studies that a lender can act on: market, technical, cost and financial chapters prepared by the same engineers and Chartered Accountants who deliver our TEV work.

International assignments include feasibility studies for residential and commercial developments in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a copper mining project in Zambia, a denim plant in Ethiopia and a manufacturing facility in North Carolina, USA.

Questions

Frequently asked

What is the difference between a DPR and a feasibility study?

A feasibility study answers whether a project should be undertaken and on what basis. A Detailed Project Report sets out how it will be built, financed and operated, in enough detail for a bank to lend against it.

Do you prepare the financial model?

Yes. Our Chartered Accountants build the model with the engineers who prepare the technical and cost chapters, so that the assumptions are consistent across the report.

Can you prepare a DPR and then the TEV study for the same project?

No. Independence requires that the lender’s TEV study is prepared by a firm that did not write the promoter’s DPR.

Have you worked outside India?

Yes. Assignments have been completed in the UAE, Oman, the USA, Ethiopia, Zambia, Uganda and Ghana.
