Detailed Project Report (DPR)

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?” with demand, competition, positioning, and high-level financial viability. A DPR answers “How exactly will we build and run it?”—including plot-specific legal & regulatory notes, state/central compliance, legal structuring, an architect-led master plan, and a bankable set of schedules for investors/lenders.

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: plot-specific title/land-use checks, state & central regulations, affiliation/compliance pathway, and 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 Bankable model with linked P&L/CF/BS, schedules, and sensitivity scenarios
Output Decision recommendation (Go/No-Go; premium vs super-premium options) Lender-ready report + appendices: legal note, master plan, workplan, risk register
Typical use Land shortlisting, investor 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

  • Plot-specific review: title/encumbrances (as provided), land-use/zoning, conversions, setbacks, height/FAR/FSI, access/ingress/egress, parking.
  • State & central requirements: education department norms, building by-laws, fire & safety, sanitation, transport, child-safety, inclusivity/accessibility.
  • Board affiliation pathway (CBSE/ICSE/IB/CAIE): eligibility, infrastructure & staffing norms, documentation & timelines.
  • Statutory clearances: applicable NOCs/approvals (illustrative; jurisdiction-specific).
  • Legal structuring: trust/society/Section 8/company options; governance implications.

(This is 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 (classrooms, labs, library, arts, sports) mapped to ramp-up.
  • Phase plan (core vs premium add-ons), drop-off/traffic circulation, safety & accessibility 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 lenders expect; 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, state/central compliance mapping, 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.
