Questions people ask before they enquire
Grouped by what you are deciding. Answers that depend on your project say so rather than guess.
Reports and services
What is a Detailed Project Report (DPR)?
A DPR is the document a bank, investor or government agency uses to assess whether a proposed unit is technically feasible and financially viable. It covers the market, the manufacturing process, plant and machinery, raw materials, land and building, manpower, cost of project, means of finance and multi-year financial projections.
What is the difference between a ready project report and a custom DPR?
A ready report describes a model plant at a standard capacity and is bought online as a PDF. A custom DPR is prepared for your capacity, location, machinery quotations and the format your bank or scheme requires. Many clients start from a ready report and have it customised.
Can an NPCS report be used for a bank loan or a government scheme?
NPCS reports include the financial and technical data that bank loan proposals, PMEGP, MUDRA, NABARD and MSME scheme applications ask for. The lender or agency decides on the application itself; NPCS prepares the report in the format it expects and answers queries on the report.
Does NPCS provide market surveys and industry analysis?
Yes. Market research reports cover market segmentation, demand and supply, competition, pricing, growth forecasts and international market opportunities, and a market survey is part of every project report.
Buying and customising
Can I see a sample before buying a report?
Full reports are not given free because they contain proprietary research, but the table of contents, sample pages and previews are available on the sample reports page.
How are reports delivered?
Ready reports are delivered by email after payment. Custom reports are delivered on completion of the agreed scope, and the consultant remains available for clarifications afterwards.
Can a report be prepared for a different capacity or for a country other than India?
Yes. Custom reports can be prepared for the production capacity, technology, market area and country or region you specify, including plant layout customisation.
Process and pricing
What affects the cost of a custom DPR?
The size and complexity of the project, the depth of market survey required, the amount of site-specific and country-specific data, and the format demanded by the bank or scheme. The fee is quoted after the requirement discussion, before work begins.
Is the first discussion free, and how quickly will NPCS reply?
Yes. The requirement discussion is free and carries no obligation. A consultant replies to enquiries within 24 hours, Monday to Saturday, by phone or WhatsApp, and the fee is confirmed before any work starts.
What do I need to provide?
The product and intended capacity, the location or site details, machinery quotations if you already have them, promoter background, and the bank or scheme you are applying to. NPCS sources the market, technical and cost data.
