Starting a new business or applying for a government loan? Then you’ve likely come across terms like Feasibility Report, TEV Report, Bankable Project Report, or NLM Project Report. These may sound technical, but each one plays an important role in turning your idea into reality, especially when dealing with banks, investors, or subsidy schemes.
Let’s understand what they are and why they matter in simple language. 👇

🔹 1. Feasibility Report – Can Your Business Idea Work?
A Feasibility Report is the first step in planning a business. It helps you understand whether your business idea is practical, profitable, and possible in the real world.
✅ It answers questions like:
Is there market demand for your product or service?


Can you get raw materials, manpower, or space easily?


Will your business survive the competition?


What are the risks, and how can you reduce them?


This report is not mandatory, but very helpful before you invest time and money. Banks and government departments also use it to assess whether your project is worth funding.

🔹 2. TEV Report – Techno-Economic Viability Report
A TEV Report is more detailed and technical than a basic feasibility report. It is usually required for large projects, especially those involving:
Heavy machinery


Infrastructure


Manufacturing units


Renewable energy or technology projects


✅ A TEV Report includes:
Technical analysis (technology used, capacity, processes)


Economic analysis (cost-benefit ratio, IRR, break-even)


Market study


Project risks and mitigation


Financial viability


Banks and financial institutions often insist on a TEV report before sanctioning loans above ₹1 crore. It is usually prepared by certified financial consultants or engineers.

🔹 3. Bankable Project Report – For Loan Sanction
A Bankable Project Report is a must-have document when you apply for a loan, especially under:
Bank credit schemes


Startup India


PMEGP


Stand-Up India


Mudra Loans (above ₹5 lakh)


✅ It includes:
Business model and overview


Investment cost and funding pattern


Revenue and profit forecast


Loan requirement


Repayment schedule


SWOT analysis


Risk factors and solutions


The term "bankable" means that the report is complete, realistic, and acceptable to banks for making a lending decision. A well-prepared report can significantly improve your chances of loan approval.

🔹 4. NLM Project Report – For Subsidy in the Livestock Sector
The NLM Project Report is specific to those applying for subsidies or loans under the National Livestock Mission (NLM) by the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Government of India.
This report is needed when you are setting up:
Goat farming


Poultry farming


Sheep rearing


Duck farming


Breed improvement units


Feed processing units


✅ It must include:
Details of livestock/bird units


Number of animals/birds planned


Cost of construction, equipment, feed, and insurance


Financial projections (income, expenses, profit)


Loan amount required and subsidy calculation


The government offers capital subsidy up to 50% (subject to limits), and banks require this detailed NLM report to process your application under the scheme.
Conclusion
In today’s world, having just an idea is not enough. You need the right paperwork to back it up. A good project report – whether it’s feasibility, TEV, bankable, or NLM – helps you secure funding, reduce risks, and run your business with clarity.
