It also outlines technical specifications (e.g., capacity in MT, insulation, refrigeration systems), market demand in Kolkata's wholesale markets, and risk mitigation strategies. For project costs ranging from ₹50 lakh to ₹5 crore, the report helps lenders assess viability, ensuring faster sanction under priority sector lending.
