Which document is used to assess viability for SAMPADA projects?

• A. Detailed Project Report (DPR)
• B. Environmental Impact Statement
• C. Marketing Plan for exports
• D. Annual Financial Report

Answer: (A)

Assessing viability for SAMPADA projects hinges on a Detailed Project Report because it brings together the technical, financial, and economic analyses needed to judge whether a project can be implemented successfully and sustain returns. The DPR lays out the project concept, site, technology, capacity, and the full financial picture—capital and operating costs, revenue projections, funding plan, and financial indicators like return on investment, net present value, and internal rate of return—along with risk and sensitivity assessments. This comprehensive document lets decision-makers see if the project is technically feasible, financially sound, and economically worthwhile before approval. The Environmental Impact Statement focuses on environmental effects rather than overall feasibility, a Marketing Plan for exports centers on market strategy, and an Annual Financial Report reviews past performance rather than evaluating a new project’s feasibility.
