Preparation of DPR

The preparation of DPR requires wide variety of expertise. A number of decisions are mutually related. For example: requirement and training plan is dependent on the nature of the technology, availability in the general employment market in the region, need for foreign collaboration and training, extent of specialised plant and equipment supplied from abroad etc.

Financials requirements are dependent on the time schedule for the implementation of the project. The nature of issue to be included in the commercial terms and conditions depend on the extent of the spread of the contractors. If only local and regional parties are in picture, the scope and jurisdiction for disputes gets restricted.

Steps of preparation of DPR:

(a) the report should be with sufficient details to indicate the possible fate of the project when implemented.

(b) the report should meet the questions raised during the project appraisals, i.e. the various types of analyses—be it financial, economic, technical, social etc.—should also be taken care of in the DPR.


The special report indicates:

a. Expected volume of the market and its growth;

b. Expected volume of the market share;

c. The possible marketing channels and the need for the specific background of the dealers;

d. The dealers’ expectation about their commission, discounts etc.;

e. The credit period to be extended to the dealers, major customers etc., the prevailing market trend in this area;

f. The requirement of service after sales;

g. The behaviourial pattern of the ultimate customers


Evaluation of DPR:

  • What are the sources of critical data & information that have form the basic premises of the DPR, like demand, capital cost, input cost etc?

  • The extent to which the strategic plan of top management have been reflected in the design and the repair?

  • What were the various alternative considered, and the methodology followed for choosing one among them?

  • The extent to which the design fulfils all applicable statutory requirements and regulations, both currently in force and those may be foreseen?

  • Identification of potential problems, bottlenecks and/or major risks involved in the project.

DPR Format

1. Decide the Objective

What is the purpose of the report.like describe, explain, recommend, or persuade

2. Understand Your Audience

Writing a formal annual report for your stakeholders is very different from a financial review. Tailor your language, use of data, and supporting graphics to the audience.

It is also useful to consider the personal communication style of the reader

3. Report Format and Type

Before you start, check the report format and type


4. Gather the Facts and Data

Including engaging facts and data will solidify your argument. Start with your collaborative project site and work out as needed.


5. Structure the Report

A report typically has four elements:

· Executive Summary. Your report will begin with the summary, which is written once the report is finished. As the first item the reader encounters, this is the most important section of the document. They will likely use the summary to decide how much of the report they need to read so make it count!

· Introduction: Provide a context for the report and outline the structure of the contents. Identify the scope of the report and any particular methodologies used

· Body: It’s now time to put your writing skills to work! This is the longest section of the report and should present background details, analysis, discussions, and recommendations for consideration. Draw upon data and supporting graphics to support your position

· Conclusion: Bring together the various elements of the report in a clear and concise manner. Identify the next steps and any actions that your reader needs to take.
