Portfolio
We have
specialised
in railway
infrastructure,
which is
expected to
receive a
big boost
with the
commissioning
of passenger
and freight
corridor
between the
four metro
cities of
India and
associated
civil
construction.
Simultaneously,
we have
developed
our core
strength in
roads and
urban
development.
We have also
enhanced our
portfolio by
entering
into the
marine
infrastructure,
aviation and
power
transmission
sectors
because they
hold out
significant
potential
for
sustainable
growth.
Customer
profile
We work on a
number of
government-commissioned
projects
because they
reflect
national
priority,
enable us to
capture a
growing
market share
of similar
projects,
represent
the safest
risk and
enable the
Company to
directly
enhance the
quality of
life.
Robust
funding
A
significant
number of
projects we
work on
enjoy
committed
funding from
the World
Bank, Japan
Bank for
International
Cooperation
or the Asian
Development
Bank,
de-risking
us from
funding
delays and
incompletion.
Regional
focus
The
resurgence
of Eastern
India has
thrown a
number of
opportunities
our way
through
investments
in creating
infrastructure
for
increasing
industrial
activity,
growing
trade and
commerce and
enhancing
demand for
real
estate.
International
spread
We have
enhanced our
international
experience
through
projects in
Bangladesh,
Nepal and
Bhutan in
association
with active
local
partners, a
valuable
precursor to
our
prospective
entry in
neighboring
underdeveloped
countries
and the
fast-growing
ASEAN.
Stable
materials
policy
We procure
key material
inputs
directly
from
reputable
manufacturers
to enable us
to
strengthen
our quality
controls and
minimizes
rework
arising from
material
variations.
Systems
The
Company’s
existing
management
information
system and
control
systems are
set for a
giant leap
with the
implementation
of SAP. The
system, in
effect
across all
our zonal
offices and
major
project
sites, is
expected to
strengthen
networking
and quicken
decision-making.
Prudent
recruitment
We create
long lasting
trust and
win-win
partnerships
through
recruitment
from within
the local
population,
resulting in
a better
understanding
of the
geographic
terrains and
local work
practices.
The net
result of
this
business
model is a
rare
distinction
of growth in
our business
in good
times and
bad and
having
completed
every single
assignment
we embarked
upon in the
42 years of
our
existence.
I am
confident
that these
fundamentals
will stand
the Company
in good
stead
leading to
increasing
wealth for
our
shareholders
and
justifying
our strong
presence in
the business
of the
future.
