Understanding Project Appraisal (A Deep Dive)
📌 What Are Term Loans & Project Loans?
- Term Loans: Long-term financing provided to businesses for capital expenditures.
- Project Loans: Loans granted for specific projects such as infrastructure development.
📌 What is Project Appraisal & Why Is It Important?
Project Appraisal involves evaluating the project’s cost, benefits, risks, and expected returns to make informed investment decisions. It helps determine if a project is financially viable before funds are allocated.
Appraising a project properly ensures that the investment made yields returns and mitigates financial risk.
📌 Capital Budgeting: Phases of Project Appraisal
- Identifying Investment Opportunities: Assessing potential projects based on market trends.
- Preliminary Screening: Checking feasibility and alignment with business objectives.
- Detailed Feasibility Study: Calculating projected revenues, costs, and expected ROI.
- Project Implementation: Setting up operations, purchasing assets, and allocating resources.
- Performance Review: Monitoring progress and evaluating actual outcomes versus projections.
How Banks Evaluate Project Appraisal Before Lending
Banks ensure that the project they are funding is financially viable. They assess multiple aspects, including:
- Environmental Compliance: Ensuring the project adheres to environmental laws and policies.
- Technical Feasibility: Assessing the availability of required technology and expertise.
- Economic Viability: Analyzing sustainability and long-term profitability.
- Managerial Competence: Evaluating the skills and experience of the project promoters.
- Financial Viability: Estimating capital needs, sources of funds, and expected cash flows.
Break-Even Analysis
Break-Even Point (BEP) is where total costs = total revenue, meaning no profit, no loss.
Formula: Break-Even Point = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit
This analysis helps businesses understand the minimum level of sales needed to avoid losses.

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
DSCR helps banks determine if a borrower can comfortably repay their loan.
Formula: DSCR = (Net Operating Income + Interest) / (EMI + Interest)
A higher DSCR indicates a stronger ability to service debt obligations.
Internal Rate of Return (IRR) & Net Present Value (NPV)
- IRR: The discount rate where NPV = 0, indicating the project’s return rate.
- NPV: The difference between the present value of cash inflows and cash outflows, determining project profitability.
