Project Loans Explained

Structured funding for large-scale ambitions

Project Loans provide structured, long-term financing for capital-intensive projects — from setting up new manufacturing facilities to large infrastructure development. These loans are structured around the project's own cash flows and viability rather than just the borrower's existing income.

Pragati works with corporate borrowers, contractors, and developers to identify the right lender, structure the loan terms, and manage documentation — from DPR to regulatory approvals to disbursement coordination.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

A project loan is a long-term financing solution specifically structured around a capital investment project. Unlike standard business loans, repayment is tied to the project's own revenue generation — making it suitable for infrastructure, manufacturing, and large-scale development.
Instead of releasing the entire loan at once, funds are disbursed in tranches as construction milestones are achieved and certified by a lender-appointed engineer. This reduces interest cost and ensures funds are used as intended.
A Detailed Project Report (DPR) is a comprehensive document covering the project's technical feasibility, financial projections, cash flows, risk assessment, and market analysis. Lenders use the DPR as the primary basis for credit appraisal of project loans.
Most lenders require promoters to contribute 25–30% of the total project cost as equity. This demonstrates commitment and reduces the lender's risk exposure. Some government-backed schemes may allow lower equity requirements for priority sector projects.
Given the complexity of project appraisal, processing typically takes 15–20 business days for smaller projects and up to 45–60 days for large infrastructure loans requiring multi-level credit committee approvals. Pragati actively manages the timeline throughout.
Most lenders require a minimum 5-year track record in the relevant sector. However, new companies with experienced promoters, strong DPRs, and adequate equity may still qualify — especially under government-backed infrastructure financing schemes.
