Introduction
The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is an essential building block for the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) in creating infrastructure and enabling sustainable quality service delivery. The DPR is to be prepared carefully
and with sufficient details to ensure appraisal, approval, and subsequent project implementation in a timely and efficient manner.
This document provides a reference format for preparing DPRs/Project Reports across sectors. The major sections covered are as follows:
1. Sector background context & broad project rationale
2. Project definition, concept and scope
3. Project cost
4. Project institution framework
5. Project financial structuring
6. Project phasing
7. Project O&M framework and planning
8. Project financial viability/sustainability
9. Project benefits assessments
The key issues needing to be addressed and other relevant details are outlined
separately for each section
