Detailed Project Report (DPR)
Page last updated: September 7, 2025
Turn feasibility insights into a bankable execution plan. Your DPR includes a plot-specific legal & regulatory note, an architect-led high-level master plan, and 10-year linked financials with scenarios—plus approvals, risk, and implementation roadmaps for boards and lenders.
Feasibility Study vs Detailed Project Report (DPR)
Abstract: A Feasibility Study answers “Should we do this?”; a DPR answers “How exactly will we build and run it?”
| Dimension | Feasibility Study | Detailed Project Report (DPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary question | “Should we proceed?” | “How will we execute?” |
| Focus | Market potential, positioning, fee bands, rough capex/opex, high-level ramp-up | End-to-end execution plan: design, approvals, staffing, admissions, finance, risk |
| Legal & regulatory | General guidance; board norms at a high level | Complete legal note: title/land-use checks, state & central regulations, affiliation pathway, legal structuring options |
| Site & design | Site suitability (high level) | Architect collaboration for a high-level master plan, block & phase plan, compliance envelopes |
| Financials | Directional 10-year viability | Linked P&L/CF/BS, schedules, sensitivity scenarios; bankable format |
| Output | Decision recommendation | Lender-ready report + appendices |
| Typical use | Land shortlisting; sign-off to proceed to DPR | Funding, board approval, tendering, execution kickoff |
| Timelines (indicative) | ~4–6 weeks | ~4–6 weeks after feasibility (scope-dependent) |
What the legal & regulatory note in a DPR covers
- Title/encumbrances (as provided), land-use/zoning, conversions, setbacks, FAR/FSI, access & parking
- State & central requirements: education dept. norms, building by‑laws, fire & safety, sanitation, transport, child-safety
- Board pathway (CBSE/ICSE/IB/CAIE): eligibility, infra & staffing norms, documentation & timelines
- Statutory clearances: applicable NOCs/approvals (jurisdiction-specific)
- Legal structuring: trust/society/Section 8/company options; governance implications
(Not a substitute for legal opinions; we compile and coordinate with your legal advisors.)
Architect collaboration in the DPR
- Site analysis and zoning/blocking aligned to pedagogy and phasing
- Facilities program mapped to ramp-up (classrooms, labs, sports, arts)
- Phase plan (core vs premium add-ons), circulation & safety envelopes
- Compliance checks against applicable by-laws and affiliation norms
Why a DPR is called bankable
- Linked financial model (10 years): fees, capex/opex, staffing ladders, working capital
- Schedules & assumptions register; sensitivity to admissions, fee growth, salary inflation, capex variance
- Clear risk register & mitigations; implementation plan (workstreams, RACI, timeline)
- Consolidated legal/regulatory note and master plan attachments for credit committees
Which one do you need now?
- Choose Feasibility if you must validate demand, positioning, and fees before committing land/capex.
- Move to DPR when you’re ready to execute: you need plot-level legal clarity, architect master plan, and a bankable plan for lenders/boards.

FAQs
Possible, but not advised. Feasibility reduces risk early (demand, pricing, competition). DPR then translates that evidence into a bankable plan.
Yes—your DPR includes a plot-specific legal & regulatory note covering state/central requirements and the chosen board’s affiliation pathway (in coordination with your legal advisors).
We co-develop a high-level master plan with an architect: block plan, phasing, and compliance envelopes suitable for DPR and lender review.
The DPR compiles legal/regulatory notes, architect master plan, a linked 10-year model, schedules, and scenario tests—packaged in a format credit committees recognize.
Core strategy remains, but plot-specific legal, compliance, and the master plan must be re-checked for the new site.
