Anatomy of a Bankable DPR — Section by Section
A DPR that gets sanctioned is structured around what bank credit committees and JIC officers verify, not generic templates copied from the internet.
Executive Summary (1–2 pages): one-line project pitch, capex, subsidy claimed, loan ask, promoter background, expected DSCR/IRR and viability statement.
Promoter Profile (2–3 pages): KYC, education, work history, net worth, related-party experience and references. Banks weight this heavily for first-generation entrepreneurs.
Market Analysis (3–5 pages): demand-supply at district level, target customers (named where possible), price benchmarking, competition mapping and growth drivers.
Technical Design (5–10 pages): plant layout, machinery list with model numbers, capacity calculation, civil drawings, utility loads and quality control plan.
Cost Breakup (2–3 pages): line-item capex matching the OEM quotation rupee-for-rupee. Working capital separately with assumptions on stock days, debtor days and creditor days.
Financial Projections (5–8 pages): 10-year P&L, balance sheet and cash flow with stated assumptions on capacity utilisation, price escalation, OPEX inflation and depreciation.
Sensitivity Analysis (1–2 pages): impact of ±10% on capex, price and capacity on DSCR/IRR. Banks reject DPRs that don't survive a 10% adverse shock.
Risk & Mitigation (1 page), Repayment Schedule (1 page) and Annexures (quotations, land docs, photos, certifications).
