project report vs feasibility report

Great question! Here's a clear and concise comparison of a Project Report vs. Feasibility Report, so you can understand the difference — and when to use each.

📄 1. Project Report – What It Is

A Project Report is a comprehensive document that outlines the full plan for starting and running a project or business. It includes everything: objectives, market analysis, technical details, financials, operations, etc.

🔹 Purpose: To present the complete business/project plan to stakeholders — such as banks, investors, government schemes (PMEGP, Yuva Udyami Yojana), etc.
🔹 Used For: Loan applications, business setup, operational planning
🔹 When: After the idea is confirmed and you're moving toward execution.

Typical Contents:

Executive summary

Business model

Market & competitor analysis

Project cost & means of finance

Profit & loss projections

Implementation timeline

Employment generation

Annexures (licenses, quotes, etc.)

📊 2. Feasibility Report – What It Is

A Feasibility Report is an early-stage analysis to determine whether a proposed project or business idea is viable — technically, financially, legally, and operationally.

🔹 Purpose: To evaluate whether the idea is practical and worth investing in before committing resources.
🔹 Used For: Decision-making before preparing a full project report.
🔹 When: At the idea evaluation stage — before seeking funding or approvals.

Types of Feasibility:

Technical feasibility – Can it be built? Do you have the skills/resources?

Financial feasibility – Is it profitable? Can it sustain itself?

Market feasibility – Is there a demand?

Operational feasibility – Can it be managed efficiently?

Legal feasibility – Is it compliant with local laws?
