Basis & presumption of report

This DPR is prepared on the basis of BharatSeal's live market_inputs snapshot dated 2026-05-15, with capex prices, raw-material rates, wages, fuel, electricity and rent values resolved from primary public sources cited in Section 19. Plant capacity is 15,000 kg/year. Working capital cycle is 3 months. Bank loan is sized at 75% of project cost over 5 years at 9.75% p.a., with PMEGP margin money assumed at 15% and beneficiary contribution at 10%. Depreciation follows the asset-specific lives in Section 16. Income tax is provided at 25% on positive PBT. Sundry debtors and creditors are taken at 15-day equivalents of revenue and COGS respectively — Indian MSME finance norm. The 5-year utilisation ramp is editorial (BharatSeal industry benchmark) and is the largest single judgement in the model — three scenarios (Section 6) and a sensitivity grid (Section 7) stress-test it.
