β‚Ή180Cr Steel Processing Plant β€” Bankable DPR Secured Term Loan After Two Prior Rejections

The Challenge

A first-generation promoter in Uttar Pradesh needed a comprehensive DPR to secure a β‚Ή120Cr term loan from SBI for a greenfield steel processing facility. Previous attempts with local CAs had resulted in two rejections from the bank's appraisal committee.

What We Did

Rebuilt the feasibility from the ground up β€” market demand validation, technology comparison, vendor quotes, detailed cost estimates, 10-year financial projections with DSCR analysis, and environmental clearance roadmap. The DPR served as the Promoter's definitive investment decision document from which the bankable project report was extracted.
