Question

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sis.newpro"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 25
        testInstrumentationRunner 
"android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 
'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

    }
}

productFlavors {
    prod {
        buildConfigField 'String', 'URL', '"http://api.abcd.com"'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

}

giving Error:(22, 0) Could not find method productFlavors() for arguments [build_bqh9qnip9k7nqy2kbpova0vtq$_run_closure2@5b30b3a7] on project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

do i missing any thing to add in build.gradle(Module:app) or do i need to add any thing to build.gradle(Project:NewProject)

Move your productFlavors tag inside the android braces, it needs to be a sibling of buildTypes.

Your build.gradle would end up being something like this:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sis.newpro"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 25
        testInstrumentationRunner
        "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),
                    'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

    }
    productFlavors {
        prod {
            buildConfigField 'String', 'URL', '"http://api.abcd.com"'
        }
    }
}
