Frequently Asked Questions
What discount rate should an Indian MSME use for NPV analysis?
Enterprises typically use their Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), which blends bank borrowing rates (post-tax ~8.5-10%) and promoter equity return expectations (~16-20%). In India, mid-market hurdle rates generally range between 12% and 15%.
Why is NPV preferred over simple payback period by bank credit teams?
Simple payback ignores the time value of money and discards cash flows generated after capital recovery. NPV evaluates the entire economic life of the asset, ensuring interest costs and opportunity capital are fully accounted for.
