II. RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT PERCEPTION THERETO

An investment in equity securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should are fully

consider all of the information in this Information Memorandum, including the risks and

uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares.

Occurrence of any of the following risks as well as the other risks and uncertainties

discussed in this Information Memorandum could have a material adverse effect on our

business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the trading price of

our Equity Shares to decline, which could result in the loss to the investor.

The investor(s) should consider the following risk factors carefully in evaluating the

Company and its business before making any investment decision.

A) INTERNAL RISK FACTORS: RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS OR COMPANY

1) Demand for construction services depends primarily on the activity and

expenditure levels in the infrastructure and real estate industries, and any

reduction in such activity and expenditure may adversely affect our business and

prospects and may reduce the number of projects we undertake and impede our

growth.

Demand for our construction services for ports, terminals, industrial, commercial, retail,

residential and other projects that we undertake is particularly sensitive to the level of

development, production, exploration and transportation activity of, and the

corresponding capital spending by, infrastructure and real estate companies. Demand for

our construction services in the infrastructure sector is primarily dependent on

9

sustained economic development in the regions that we operate in and government

policies relating to infrastructure development. It is also significantly dependent on

budgetary allocations made by central and state governments for this sector as well as

funding provided by international and multilateral development finance institutions for

infrastructure projects. Investment by the private sector in infrastructure projects is

dependent on the potential returns from such projects and is therefore linked to

government policies relating to private sector participation and sharing of risks and

returns from such projects. There can be no assurance that government policies will

continue to favor infrastructure investment.

2) The demand for construction services for the real estate sector is dependant on the

performance of the property market in the areas in which we operate, and any slow

down in the demand for real estate and the demand for business of our customers

could adversely affect our business.

The provision of construction services for the real estate sector is dependant on the

performance of the property market in the areas in which we operate. It is not possible to

predict whether demand for commercial or residential property in the areas in which we

operate or India generally will continue to grow in the future, as many social, political,

economic, legal and other factors may affect the development of the property market.

Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the level of demand will consistently match

the level of supply. In the event of any unfavorable developments in the supply and

demand or any decreases in property prices in the areas in which we operate or other

parts in India, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be

adversely affected.

3) Projects included in our Order Book may be delayed, cancelled or not fully paid for

by our clients, which could materially harm our cash flow position, revenues or

profits.

Future earnings related to the performance of the work in the Order Book may not

necessarily be realized. Although projects in the Order Book represent business that we

consider firm, cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. Due to changes in project

scope and schedule, we cannot predict with certainty when or if the projects in our Order

Book will be completed. In addition, even where a project proceeds as scheduled, it is

10

possible that contracting parties may default and fail to pay amounts owed or dispute the

amounts owed to us. Any delay, cancellation or payment default could materially harm

our cash flow position, revenues or profits, and adversely affect the trading price of our

Equity Shares.

4) Our revenues depend upon the award of new contracts and the timing of those

awards. Consequently, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely

affected or fluctuate materially from period to period.

Our revenues are derived primarily from contracts awarded to us on a project-by-project

basis. Generally, it is very difficult to predict whether and when we will be awarded a new

contract since many potential contracts involve a lengthy and complex bidding and

selection process that may be affected by a number of factors, including changes in

existing or assumed market conditions, financing arrangements, governmental approvals

and environmental matters. Because our revenues are derived primarily from these

contracts, our results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected or fluctuate

materially from period to period depending on the timing of contract awards. The

uncertainty associated with the timing of contract awards may increase our cost of doing

business over a short period or a comparatively longer term. For example, we may decide

to maintain and bear the cost of a workforce in excess of our current contract needs in

anticipation of future contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not

received, we could incur costs in maintaining an idle workforce that may have a material

adverse effect on our results of operations. Or, we may decide that our long term

interests are best served by reducing our workforce and incurring increased costs

associated with severance and termination benefits which also could have a material

adverse effect on our results of operations for the period when incurred. Reducing our

workforce could also impact our results of operations if we are unable to adequately staff

projects that are awarded subsequent to a workforce reduction.

5) We have little or no prior experience in dealing with government entities or

agencies on PPP projects or in undertaking PPP projects. Such PPP projects could

be delayed, and these delays could adversely affect our financial condition and

results of operations.

We intend to bid for PPP projects in the future. Such projects are dependent on initiatives

undertaken by governments, or agencies which may directly or indirectly be owned or

controlled by the government or relevant government organizations. There could be

11

delays on such projects due to changes in government policies or initiatives, changes in

budgetary allocation or the insufficiency of funds on the part of the government or

government organization. We have little or no prior experience in dealing with

governmental entities or agencies or on projects that face such a risk of regulatory

change. In addition, documentary closure or completion of PPP projects, including the

release of performance guarantees, retention money and final acceptance notices,

generally takes significant amounts of time and are subject to material delays, which also

adversely affects our financial condition and results of operations.

6) We have little or no prior experience in constructing, managing or operating BOT

projects. The risks associated with undertaking BOT projects can be substantial,

and could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results

of operations.

We have commenced the process of bidding for certain BOT projects. In a BOT project,

we are required to arrange for the financing and incur all expenditure related to the

project. We are required to maintain and manage the project assets for a stipulated

period during which we derive income from such project. Any delay in completion of the

project may adversely affect our results of operations. The risks associated with

undertaking BOT projects can be substantial, including the risk of incorrect forecasts at

the bid stage concerning revenues to be derived from the use of the constructed facility

and the risk of extended exposure to fluctuating economic conditions. BOT projects

typically have long gestation periods and we may incur substantial capital expenditure

before we derive expected benefits or returns on our investment, which can adversely

impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. There might be delays

in the bid selection process owing to a variety of reasons which may be outside our

control, and our bids may not be selected or, if selected, may be challenged by non-

successful bidders or may not be finalised within the expected time frame or on expected

terms or at all.

7) Our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected in the event of

increases in the price of raw materials, fuel costs, labor or other inputs.

Our business is affected by the availability, cost and quality of the raw materials that we

use in construction activities. Our principal raw materials include steel and cement.

Generally our longer term contracts have price escalation clauses for increases in the

cost of principal raw materials, however, we bear the risk of increases in costs of other

12

raw materials. The prices and supply of these and other raw materials, including fuel and

labor costs, depend on factors not under our control, including but not limited to general

economic conditions, global and domestic market prices, competition, production levels,

transportation costs and import duties, and these prices are cyclical in nature. If, for any

reason, our primary suppliers of raw materials should curtail or discontinue their

delivery of such materials to us in the quantities we need and at prices that are

competitive, our ability to meet our material requirements for our projects could be

impaired, our construction schedules could be disrupted, and we may not be able to

complete our projects as per schedule or at all. We may also not be able to pass on any

increase in the prices of these building materials to our customers. Any of these factors

may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

8) Our industry is highly fragmented and competitive and increased competitive

pressure may adversely affect our results.

We operate in a highly fragmented and competitive industry. We enter into contracts

primarily through a competitive bidding process or on negotiated rate basis. Our

competition varies depending on the size, nature and complexity of the project and on the

geographical region in which the project is to be executed. We compete against various

construction companies. In selecting contractors for major projects, clients generally

limit the tender to contractors they have pre-qualified based on several criteria, including

experience, technical ability, past performance, reputation for quality, safety record,

financial strength and the size of previous contracts executed in similar projects with

them or otherwise. Additionally, while these are important considerations, price is a

major factor in most tender awards and in negotiated contracts and our business is

subject to intense price competition. A number of our competitors are larger and better

placed, which would enable them to take advantage of efficiencies created by size, and

may have better financial resources or greater access to capital at lower costs, and may

be better known in regional markets in which we compete. In addition, as the industry is

highly fragmented, we also face competition from local contractors, who may be able to

cater to local demands at fees and costs lower than ours. Our inability to compete

successfully in our industry would materially and adversely affect our business prospects

and results of operations.

13

9) High equipment costs may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our construction operations require various bulk construction equipment, including,

scaffolding, hoists, concrete manufacturing equipment, cranes, pumps and excavators.

In addition, we are required to procure various other equipment, including, process

equipment, mechanical equipment, vessels, machinery, piping materials and electrical

and instrumentation components. Increases in equipment costs not anticipated by us in

our bid, including any foreign exchange rate risk in relation to equipment to be imported

from outside India, may adversely affect our results of operations.

10) Timely and successful completion of our projects is dependent upon our

performance and, in the case of many projects, the cooperation of our sub-

contractors, and any failure or delay in successful completion could adversely

affect the construction quality of our developments and adversely affect our

profitability and reputation.

We rely on third parties for the implementation of projects where we have entered into

arrangements with third parties for the supply of labor, equipment and raw material.

Accordingly, the timing and quality of construction of our properties depend on the

availability and skill of those sub-contractors. Typically, construction contracts are

subject to specific completion schedule requirements with liquidated damages chargeable

in the event that a project falls behind schedule. Although we have completed our

projects on or before schedule, in case of sub-contracting, the completion of the contract

depends in part on the performance of our sub-contractors. Delay or failure on the part

of a sub-contractor to complete its project work on time, for any reason, could result in

additional costs to us, including the payment of contractually agreed liquidated damages.

The amount of such additional costs could adversely affect our profit margins on the

project. While we may seek to recover these amounts as claims from the supplier, vendor,

sub-contractor, joint venture or other third party responsible for the delay or for

providing nonconforming products or services, we cannot assure you that we will recover

all or any part of these costs in all circumstances. If we enter into joint ventures for any

project in the future, we may face similar risks as we may experience with a sub-

contractor. Performance problems for existing and future projects could cause our actual

results of operations to differ materially from those anticipated by us and could damage

our reputation within our industry and our customer base.

14

11) Our business strategy may change in the future and may be different from that which is

contained herein. Changes in our business strategy may expose us to additional risks,

and an inability to manage such risks may have an adverse effect on our business and

results of operations.

12) We are dependant on our directors and senior management and our inability to retain

them and attract new key personnel may have an adverse impact on the functioning of

our business.

13) Our inability to attract and retain skilled personnel could adversely affect our

business and results of operations.

Our ability to meet future business challenges depends on our ability to attract and

recruit talented and skilled personnel. A significant number of our employees are skilled

engineers, technicians and tradesman and we face strong competition to recruit and

retain skilled and professionally qualified staff. We are not certain that we will be able to

increase their salaries at historical rates in future and maintain our profitability

margins. Further, there can be no assurance that an increase in salary will result in

lesser attrition. Our future performance will depend upon the continued services of

these persons. The loss of any key personnel or an inability to manage the attrition

levels in different employee categories may materially and adversely impact our business

and results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be successful

in our efforts to retain or attract qualified personnel when needed. Therefore, when we

anticipate or experience growing demand for our services, we may incur the cost of

maintaining a professional staff in excess of our current contract needs in an effort to

have sufficient qualified personnel available to address this anticipated demand.

14) Given the long-term nature of the projects we undertake, we face various kinds of

implementation risks and our inability to successfully manage such risks may

have an adverse impact on the functioning of our business.

Most infrastructure construction projects involve agreements that are long-term in

nature. Long-term agreements have inherent risks associated with them that may not

necessarily be within our control and accordingly our exposure to a variety of

implementation and other risks, including construction delays, material shortages,

unanticipated cost increases, cost overruns, inability to negotiate satisfactory

arrangements with joint venture partners, and disagreements with our joint venture

15

partners is enhanced. For example, business circumstances may materially change over

the life of one or more of our agreements and we may not have the ability to modify our

agreements to reflect these changes. Further, being committed under these agreements

may restrict our ability to implement changes to our business plan. This limits our

business flexibility, exposes us to an increased risk of unforeseen business and industry

changes and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition

and results of operations.

15) We have high working capital requirements. If we have insufficient cash flows to

meet working capital requirements there may be an adverse effect on our results

of operations.

Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. We may require working

capital to finance the purchase of materials and the performance of construction and

other work on projects before any payment is received from clients. Our working capital

requirements may increase if, in certain contracts, payment terms include reduced

advance

payments or payment schedules that specify payment towards the end of a project or

are less favorable to us. To qualify for large construction contracts and the BOT

contracts, we need adequate funding. Continued increases in working capital

requirements may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of

operations.

16) We may be unable to pre-qualify to bid on certain larger construction projects on

our own and if we are unable to forge alliances with third parties, we may be

precluded from bidding for those large construction projects, which could have an

adverse effect on our growth prospects.

We enter into contracts through a competitive bidding process or on negotiated rate

basis. In selecting contractors for major projects, clients generally limit the tender to

contractors they have pre-qualified based on several criteria, including experience,

technical ability, past performance, reputation for quality, safety record, financial

strength and the size of previous contracts executed in similar projects with them or

otherwise. Additionally, while these are important considerations, price is a major factor

in most tender awards and in negotiated contracts and our business is subject to

intense price competition. Our recent experience indicates that clients in the port

16

infrastructure, residential, industrial and other commercial sectors are increasingly

developing larger, more technically complex projects and increasingly awarding the

entire contract to a single project contractor. Pre-qualification is key to our winning

such major projects. We may not be able to compete for some larger projects in the

immediate future since our ability to bid for and win such major projects is dependent

on our ability to show experience of working on such large contracts and develop strong

technical capabilities and credentials to execute more technically complex turnkey

projects. Since we may be unable to pre-qualify to bid on certain large construction

projects on our own, we may enter into memoranda of understanding or joint venture

agreements with various other companies to meet capital adequacy, technical or other

criteria that may be required as part of the bidding process or execution of the contract.

In cases where we are unable to forge an alliance with appropriate companies to meet

pre-qualification requirements, we may lose out on opportunities to bid, which could

have an adverse effect on our growth prospects.

17) Our inability to provide financial and performance guarantees in favor of our

clients may adversely affect our business.

We are required to provide financial and performance guarantees guaranteeing our

performance and/or financial obligations in relation to a project. The amount of

guarantee facilities available to us depends upon our financial condition and availability

of adequate security for the banks and financial institutions that provide us with such

facilities. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral to secure the bank guarantees

or performance bonds, our ability to enter into new contracts could be limited. Providing

security to obtain bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working

capital needs. Such bank guarantees and performance bonds generally impose

restrictive covenants on raising additional debt or payment of dividends. We may not be

able to continue obtaining new bank guarantees and performance bonds that match our

business requirements. A failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our

business.

18) We could be adversely affected if we fail to keep pace with technical and

technological developments in the construction industry.

Our recent experience indicates that clients are increasingly developing larger, more

technically complex projects in the port infrastructure, residential, industrial and other

17

commercial sectors. To meet our clients’ needs, we need to continuously update existing

technology and equipment for our construction services. In addition, rapid and frequent

technology and market demand changes can often render existing technologies and

equipment obsolete, requiring substantial new capital expenditures and/or write downs

of assets. Our failure to anticipate or respond adequately to changing technical, market

demands and/or client requirements could adversely affect our business and results of

operations.

19) Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain, or any delay in obtaining, renewing or

maintaining, our statutory and regulatory permits and approvals required to

operate our business may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We require certain statutory and regulatory permits and approvals for our business. In

some states in which we operate, or may operate, activities related to construction of our

projects may be subject to the prior granting of environmental licenses or permits or to

prior notification. Further, we are required to renew certain of our existing approvals in

respect of our current and planned projects. While we believe we will obtain approvals or

renewals as may be required, there cannot be any assurance that the relevant

authorities will issue any such approvals or renewals in the anticipated time frames or

at all. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will issue any of such

permits or approvals in the time-frame anticipated by us or at all. Failure by us to

renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result in the

interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business,

financial condition and results of operations.

B) GENERAL RISK FACTORS:

1) The company’s ability to generate revenues and pay dividends is dependent on a

number of factors and may vary significantly from quarter to quarter.

2) The Company’s growth depends on acquiring new customers apart from increasing

business from existing customers.

3) The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and this competitive

pressure on the business is likely to continue.

18

4) The Company’s client contracts can usually be terminated without cause and with little

or no notice or penalty, which could negatively impact its revenues and profitability.

5) The valuations in the Real Estate / Infrastructure Business may not be sustained in

future and may also not be reflective of future valuations in the industry.

6) The Company’s success depends largely upon its senior management and key personnel

and the Company’s ability to attract and retain them.

7) We are subject to regulation by central, state and local governments / bodies, which

may impose costs and restrictions. Central, state and local governments /bodies

extensively regulate the Real and Infrastructure industry. We expect that legislative

enactments, court actions and regulatory proceedings will continue to clarify and in

some cases change the rights and obligations of Real Estate and Infrastructure

Companies and other entities under the Real Estate and Infrastructure Acts and

Regulations and other laws, possibly in ways that we have not foreseen. The

Government may consider new legislative requirements which potentially can affect our

businesses.

8) The results of these legislative, judicial and administrative actions may materially affect

our business operations.

9) The Company may be exposed to interest rate fluctuations.

C) EXTERNAL:

1) We operate in a regulated environment, and the government policies, laws and

regulations affecting the sectors in which we operate and the related industries,

could adversely affect our operations and our profitability.

We operate in a regulated environment and must comply with a number of requirements

mandated by Indian laws and regulations, including policies and procedures established

by local authorities and designed to implement such laws and regulations. If we fail to

obtain any of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, or at

all, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. The regulatory

framework in India is evolving. Future government policies and changes in laws and

19

regulations in India may adversely affect our business and operations, and restrict our

ability to do business in our existing and target markets. The timing and content of any

new law or regulation is not in our control and such new law or regulation could have

an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

2) Our revenues are subject to a significant number of tax regimes and changes in

the legislation governing the rules implementing them or the regulator enforcing

them in any one of these states could negatively and adversely affect our results

of operations.

Taxes and other levies imposed by the central or state governments in India that affect

our industry include customs duties, excise duties, service tax, income tax and other

taxes, duties or surcharges introduced on a permanent or temporary basis from time to

time. The central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and subject to change from

time to time. Any adverse changes in any of the taxes levied by the central or state

governments may adversely affect our competitive position and profitability.

3) A slowdown in economic growth in India or in the States in India in which we

operate, could cause our business to suffer.

Our performance and the quality and growth of our assets are dependent on the health

of the overall Indian economy and the economy of the States in India in which we

operate. India’s economy could be adversely affected by a general rise in interest rates,

weather conditions adversely affecting agriculture, commodity and energy prices or

various other factors. Any slowdown in the Indian economy or in the States in India in

which we operate or future volatility in global commodity prices could adversely affect

the policy of the various governments towards infrastructure, which may in turn

adversely affect our financial performance.

4) Our performance is linked to the stability of policies and the political situation in

India.

Since 1991, the Government of India has pursued policies of economic liberalization,

including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Any political instability

could delay the reform of the Indian economy and could have a material adverse effect

on the market for our Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that these liberalization

policies will continue under the newly elected government. Protests against privatization

could slowdown the pace of liberalization and deregulation. The rate of economic

20

liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting companies in the

infrastructure sector, foreign investment, currency exchange rates and other matters

affecting investment in our securities could change as well. A significant change in

India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and

economic conditions in India and our business in particular.

5) Outbreak of contagious diseases in India may have a negative impact on the

Indian infrastructure and real estate industry.

Recently, there have been threats of epidemics, including the H1N1 virus that causes

“swine flu” and which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic, in the

Asia Pacific region, including India, and in other parts of the world. If any of our

personnel are suspected of having contracted any of these infectious diseases, we may

be required to quarantine such persons or the affected areas of our facilities and

temporarily suspend a part or all of our operations. Further, the fear of contracting such

contagious diseases could prevent our clients from traveling to India or within or from

India and could restrict our personnel from traveling within or outside India, which

would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and

results of operations and could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.

6) Natural calamities and force majeure events may have an adverse impact on the

Indian economy.

Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our

business to suffer. India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a

tsunami, floods and drought in the past few years. The extent and severity of these

natural disasters determines their impact on the Indian economy. The erratic progress

of the monsoon in 2004 affected sowing operations for certain crops. Further prolonged

spells of below normal rainfall or other natural calamities could have a negative impact

on the Indian economy, adversely affecting our business and the price of our Equity

Shares.

7) Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war, including those involving India or

other countries could adversely affect operations of the Company resulting in a loss of

business confidence.

21

8) There has been no public market for the Company’s equity shares till now and the

prices of the Company’s equity shares may fluctuate after listing. The Company’s share

price could be volatile.

D) RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHARES

Economic developments and volatility in securities markets in other countries especially in

USA and Europe may cause the price of the Shares to decline. In addition, investing in

securities that carry emerging market risks can be affected generally by volatility in the

emerging markets.

The securities markets are influenced by economic developments and volatility in securities

markets in other countries. Although economic conditions differ in each country, investors’

reactions to developments in one country may affect securities of issuers in other countries,

including India. For instance, the economic downturn in the United States and several

European countries from 2001 to 2003 adversely affected market prices in the world

securities’ markets. The markets for securities bearing emerging market risks, such as

risks relating to India, are, to varying degrees, influenced by economic and securities

market conditions in other emerging market countries. Negative economic developments,

such as rising fiscal or trade deficits, or a default on sovereign debt, in other emerging

market countries may affect investor confidence and cause increased volatility in Indian

securities. Accordingly, the price and liquidity of the share may be subject to significant

fluctuations, which may not necessarily be directly or indirectly related to our financial

performance.

So the prices of our equity shares may fluctuate after listing due to a wide variety of factors,

including volatility in the Indian and global securities markets; our operational

performance, financial results and capacity expansion; developments in India’s economic

liberalization and deregulation policies, particularly in the real estate / infrastructure

sector; and changes in India’s laws and regulations impacting our business. There is no

assurance that an active trading market for our equity shares will develop or be sustained

after listing.

This section should also be read in conjunction with the section titled “Outstanding

Litigations and Material Developments.”

22

After listing, the price of our equity shares may be volatile, or an active trading

market for our equity shares may not develop.

The prices of our equity shares may fluctuate after listing due to a wide variety of factors,

including volatility in the Indian and global securities markets; our operational

performance, financial results and capacity expansion; developments in India’s economic

liberalization and deregulation policies, particularly in the real estate sector; and changes

in India’s laws and regulations impacting our business. There is no assurance that an

active trading market for our equity shares will develop or be sustained after listing.

INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

The Indian Economy

India, the world’s largest democracy in terms of population (~1.16 billion people) had a GDP

on purchasing power parity basis of approximately US$ 3,267 billion in 2008. This makes

India the fourth largest economy in the world after the United States of America, China and

Japan in purchasing power parity terms. (Source: CIA World Fact Book)

India is also amongst the fastest growing economies globally and has grown at an average

growth rate of more than 7% in the decade since 1997, reducing poverty by about 10

percentage points. India achieved 9.7% GDP growth in FY 2007 and 9.0% in FY 2008. The

economic growth decelerated to 6.7 % in FY 2009. (Source: Economic Survey FY 2009)

Construction Industry in India: Overview

The Indian construction industry is highly fragmented, as the entry barriers are low due to

lower fixed capital requirements. However, due to increased focus on public private

partnership projects by the government, the entry barriers for the companies have become

more complex in terms of meeting up the prequalification criteria and other technical

requirements.

Although the industry is not fixed capital intensive, it is working capital intensive in terms

of the gross working capital requirements. Most projects, especially infrastructure, have a

gestation period of more than a year. In addition, any delay in payments from government

agencies pushes up receivables.

CRISIL Research defines construction to include infrastructure and industrial construction.

Infrastructure construction encompasses the design and construction of buildings (related

to infrastructure projects), ports, bridges, canals, dams, and roads whereas industrial

construction includes construction activities in key industries such as automobiles,

textiles, petrochemicals, and oil and gas. The following activities are included under the

24

umbrella of infrastructure construction:

� Ports

� Power (generation, transmission and distribution)

� Roads

� Urban infrastructure (including water supply, sanitation and MRTS)

� Railways

� Telecommunication

� Irrigation

� Airports

(Source: CRISIL Research, Construction Annual Review, July 2008)

Investments in Construction

Construction investments are expected to increase, to Rs 12,189 billion during the five year

period from 2008-09 to 2012- 13 from Rs 6,217 billion during 2003-04 to 2007-08 (2008-

09 prices). The construction industry is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR of 35 % during

2008-09 and 2012-13. Infrastructure spending especially in roads, power, irrigation and

urban infrastructure will drive this growth. This coupled with higher construction intensity

augurs well for the construction industry in terms of larger opportunity size. Investments in

the industrial sector are driven by capacity addition/expansion plans of companies

operating in key sectors of the economy. However, construction intensity being lower, the

basket of opportunities arising out of industrial investments is comparatively smaller.

Metals and oil and gas, backed by higher operating rates, continue to drive industrial

construction investments.

Construction Opportunity from Infrastructure Segment (2008-09) Prices

(Source: CRISIL Research, Construction Annual Review, Sep 2009)

Construction opportunity arising from the infrastructure segment is expected to almost

double to Rs 9,548 billion over the next 5 years (2008-09 to 2012-13) from Rs 5,006 billion

incurred during 2003-04 to 2007-08 (2008-09 prices).

Types of Contracts used in the Infrastructure and Construction Industries

There are different models currently being adopted for Public Private Partnerships in India

which vary in the distribution of risks and responsibility between the public and the private

sectors for financing, constructing, operating, and maintaining projects. Two important

types of contracts - BOT and BOOT - are explained below, as well as certain other contracts

generally used in the Indian construction industry.

26

Build, Operate and Transfer (“BOT”)

Under this type of PPP contract, the Government grants to a contractor a concession to

finance, build, operate and maintain a facility for a concession period. During the life of the

concession, the operator collects user fees and applies these to cover the costs of

construction, debt-servicing and operations. At the end of the concession period, the facility

is transferred back to the public authority. BOT is the most commonly used approach in

relation to new highway projects in India, and is also used in the energy and port sectors.

Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (“BOOT”)

BOOT contracts are similar to BOT contracts, except that in this case the contractor owns

the underlying asset, instead of only owning a concession to operate the asset. For example,

in the case of hydroelectric power projects, the contractor would own the asset during the

underlying concession period and the asset would be transferred to the Government at the

end of that period pursuant to the terms of the concession agreement.

Design, Build, Finance and Operate (“DBFO”)

The NHAI is planning to award new highway contracts under the DBFO scheme, wherein

the detailed design work is done by the concessionaire. The NHAI would restrict itself to

setting out the exact requirements in terms of quality and other structure of the road, and

the design of the roads will be at the discretion of the concessionaire. The DBFO scheme

will improve the design efficiency, reduce the cost of construction and reduce time to

commence operations, in addition to giving the concessionaire greater flexibility in terms of

determining the finer details of the project in the most efficient manner.

27

Item Rate Contracts

These contracts are also known as unit-price contracts or schedule contracts. For item rate

contracts, contractors are required to quote rates for individual items of work on the basis

of a schedule of quantities furnished by the customer. The design and drawings are

provided by the customer. The contractor bears almost no risk in these contracts, except

escalation in the rates of items quoted by the contractor, as it is paid according to the

actual amount of work on the basis of the per-unit price quoted.

Engineering Procurement Construction/Lump-Sum Turnkey Contracts

In this form of contract, contractors are required to quote a fixed sum for the execution of

an entire project including design, engineering and execution in accordance with drawings,

designs and specifications submitted by the contractor and approved by the customer. The

contractor bears the risk of incorrect estimation of the amount of work, materials or time

required for the job. Escalation clauses might exist in some cases to cover, at least partially,

cost overruns.

Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Contracts

Typically an operations and maintenance contract is issued for operating and maintaining

facilities. This could be in sectors such as water, highways, buildings and power. The

contract specifies routine maintenance activities to be undertaken at a predetermined

frequency as well as break-down maintenance during the contract period. While the

contractor is paid for the routine maintenance based on the quoted rates which are largely

a function of manpower, consumables and maintenance equipment to be deployed at the

site, any breakdown maintenance is paid for on a cost-plus basis.

Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) Contracts

Ordinarily, FEED work is carried out as a part of a consultancy assignment where the

consultant provides FEED data to the project owner to enable it to take a decision on

making a tender for construction. In addition to this, the FEED is also a prerequisite to

enable a contractor to bid for EPC/turnkey projects. A FEED project can be an independent

consultancy project or a part of an EPC/turnkey contract.

28

Price Preference

In tenders for the projects funded by multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and the

Asian Development Bank, where there is international competitive bidding, generally there

is a clause giving a price preference of 7.5% for domestic Indian bidders. In this case, if the

bid by the domestic Indian contractor is 7.5% higher than the lowest international bid, then

the employer has to award the project to the domestic bidder. This would be subject to

certain conditions specific to the project. In case the domestic bidder is in a joint venture

with an international bidder, then the domestic bidder would need to own 51% or more in

the joint venture in order to qualify for the preferential treatment.

Purchase Preference

In government tenders for projects normally less than Rs. 1.00 billion, there is a purchase

preference clause wherein a tender submitted by a Public Sector Undertaking (“PSU”) will

entail 10% price preference over other bidders. In this case, if the bid by the PSU is 10%

higher than the lowest bidder, the employer reserves the right to award the project to the

PSU.

Indian Ports Sector: Overview

India has 12 major ports and 187 intermediate and minor ports with 7,517 km of coastline.

Indian ports handle 95% of the country's total trade by volume and 70% by value.

• In FY09, the total cargo handled at Indian Ports was 754.3 Million Tonnes, of which

530.3 Million Tonnes was handled by Major Ports and the balance of 224.0 Million

Tonnes was handled by Non-Major Ports. (Source: Indian Ports Association)

29

The total traffic at major and minor ports over the last five years is provided in the table

At the end of the Xth five year plan, the total capacity at Major ports was 508.60 million

tonnes. A total of 493.20 million tonnes of capacity is expected to be added in the XIth plan

period, taking the total installed capacity at major ports to 1001.80 million tonnes.

30

State-Wise Capacity Addition Planned at Non-Major Ports (in million tonnes) in the

XIth plan:

(Source: Plan Document for XIth five year plan)

At the end of the Xth plan, the total capacity at Non-Major ports was 228.31 million tonnes.

A total of 345.19 million tonnes of capacity is expected to be added in the XIth plan period,

taking the total installed capacity at non-major ports to 573.50 million tonnes.

Key Government Initiatives in the Sector

� Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) up to 100% under automatic route is permitted for

construction and maintenance of ports and harbor.

� National Maritime Development Programme (NMDP): All major ports in India have

been asked to identify those projects, which would meet the challenges of the growing

international traffic demand of the country along with developing the port facilities at

par with world standards and give shape to the vision and strategy laid down in the

Maritime policy document over a period through FY12. With this in view, most of the

ports have categorized their projects under the 5 broad heads of development process

as:

31

� Projects related to Port Development (construction of jetties berths etc.)

� Procurement, Replacement or Upgradation of Port Equipment

� Deepening of Channels for Improvements in Drafts

� Projects related to Port Connectivity

� Other related schemes.

The NMDP has earmarked Rs. 558 billion for this purpose and is proposed to be

implemented through public private partnership. Out of the total investment required,

Rs. 36 billion is proposed to be invested through budgetary support, Rs. 138 billion

through port’s own internal resources, Rs. 345 billion from private sector and Rs. 39

billion from other sources, which include investment by Ministry of Railway, NHAI, etc.

(Source: National Maritime Development Program).

Construction Investments in Ports

Construction opportunity arising from investments in the ports sector is expected to grow

threefold to Rs 325 billion over the next 5 years (2008-09 to 2012-13) as compared to the

previous 5-year period (2003-04 to 2007-08). Of the total construction opportunity of Rs

325 billion, around Rs 164 billion is expected in major ports and remaining Rs 161 billion

in non-major ports. Traffic at Indian ports is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.6 % during

2008-09 and 2012- 2013. Traffic handled by non-major ports is likely to increase, with

expected faster traffic growth, on the back of huge capacity additions.

(Source: CRISIL Research, Construction Annual Review, Sep 2009)

Container Freight Station

Containerization is the method of packing goods in reusable containers of uniform shape

and size for transportation. The trend towards containerization has increased in India

during the last decade. Improvements in port infrastructure and increased private

participation in port infrastructure has led to the development of modern container

handling port terminals at JNPT, Mundra, Pipavav, Chennai and Vishakapatnam. With

increasing amounts being spent on port infrastructure, facilities supplemental to ports will

also need to be developed. One key example of such off-dock facilities are container freight

stations that are located near gateway ports and set up for the purpose of in-transit

32

container handling, examination and assessment of both import and export cargo with

respect to regulatory clearances. These facilities form an integral part of the supply chain

with respect to containerized cargo. The graph below highlights the growth in the container

traffic at the major ports in India over the FY 2003-FY 2009 period, which has witnessed a

CAGR of 13.5%:

The opportunity to provide CFS services has attracted a number of players who have

indicated interest and are setting up or are considering setting up Greenfield projects

around various ports. The increased activity in this area is expected to result in increased

engineering and construction work for construction companies.

Indian Real Estate Sector: Overview

The real estate sector in India has historically been unorganized and characterized by

various factors that impeded organized dealing, such as the absence of a centralized title

registry providing title guarantee, a lack of uniformity in local laws and their application,

non-availability of bank financing, high interest rates and transfer taxes and the lack of

transparency in transaction values. In recent years however, the real estate sector in India

has exhibited a trend towards greater organization and transparency through various

regulatory reforms.

The above trend has contributed to the development of reliable indicators of value and

organized investment in the real estate sector by domestic and international financial

institutions and has resulted in the greater availability of financing for real estate

developers. The nature of demand is also changing, with heightened consumer expectations

that are influenced by higher disposable incomes, increased globalization and the

33

introduction of new real estate products and services. Urbanisation, substantial rise in

income levels and growing trend of nuclear families led demand for housing to grow

exponentially over the past few years. In spite of India's housing industry flourishing, the

country still faces humungous shortage of houses, especially in urban areas. Housing

shortage in India was a whopping 79.2 million units by the end of 2008-09. (Source: CRISIL

Research, Housing Annual Review, July 2009)

Key Segments in the Real Estate Industry:

Residential real estate development

The residential construction activity has been on the upswing for the past five years, aided

by population growth and urbanization. Moreover, it has been observed that the growth is

localized to the organized urban housing segment, extending to the relatively prosperous

rural belts. This growth is being driven by the following factors:

� Faster growth in urban households as a result of nuclearization and reduction of average

size of household;

� Easy availability of housing finance and a favorable tax regime; and

� Conversion from slum, kutcha or semi-pucca in urban areas to pucca non-slums (driven

by income).

Drivers of demand in residential real estate market:

In addition to rising income levels and increasing affordability, changing demographics,

lower interest rates, rising disposable incomes and fiscal incentives have spurred demand

for real estate in India. By 2013, India is expected to add 91 million people to the working

population (aged 25-44 yrs). Over the next 20 years, the working age population is projected

to grow at 1.9% per annum. (Source: Ministry of Urban Affairs, Government of India, 2006)

34

Some more economic factors supporting housing demand are

CRISIL research estimates the population of India to grow at a CAGR of 1.4% until 2014,

which would act as a strong demand driver for housing in the country. Also, the proportion

of country’s population in the 20-59 years bracket is expected to gradually increase to over

55% by 2025, boosting demand for housing.

Urbanization is a critical factor that has led the demand for housing to grow exponentially

over the past few years. CRISIL research believes that urbanization would keep on growing,

35

as it has grown over the last century and as a result, 32% of India’s population would

reside in urban cities by 2021.

Trend towards high-rise in urban locales

A large proportion of the above demand for houses, especially in urban centers such as

Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi (Gurgaon, Noida) and Pune, is likely to come from high-rise

residential buildings. Since this is a fairly new segment, the growth of the high-rise segment

is expected to faster than the growth of the urban housing segment. The reasons for the

construction of high-rise apartment buildings are the lack of space in cities such as

Mumbai and proximity to offices and information technology (“IT”) parks in places such as

Gurgaon, Bangalore and Pune. The high-rise culture is gradually seeping into other cities

such as Kolkata, Hyderabad and Chennai due to increasing affordability, nearness to IT or

business process outsourcing (“BPO”) parks and the township concept being embraced

within close proximity to such IT/BPO parks. According to CRISIL Construction Annual

Review, May 2007, over the period between 2006 to 2007 and 2010 to 2011, housing

investments are expected to grow to Rs. 17,338 billion as compared with Rs. 9,810 billion

invested in the previous five years. As can be seen from the following graph, housing

investments are expected to be driven by urban housing investments.

36

Affordable Housing

In spite of the recent economic slowdown, India is expected to remain amongst the fastest

growing economies of the world, leading to a significant increase in purchasing power of its

population. The housing shortage is expected to increase to 26.53 million dwelling units for

75.01 million households by 2012, of which approximately 85 per cent. is expected to be in

the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) and Low Income Group (LIG) segments.

(Source: Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, India)

MHUPA has framed the National Urban Housing and Habitat Policy, which carefully

analyses ways and means of providing ‘Affordable Housing to All’ with special emphasis on

the EWS and LIG segments. The new policy lays emphasis on earmarking of land for the

EWS/LIG groups in new housing projects and also emphasizes on the Government

retaining its role in social housing so that affordable housing is made available to EWS and

LIG of the population as they lack affordability and are hopelessly out priced in urban land

markets. Government initiatives coupled with increasing per capita income in India on the

back of high economic growth is expected to provide strong impetus to affordable housing

demand.

Slum Rehabilitation Scheme: Government of Maharashtra (“SR Scheme”)

Mumbai has the highest percentage of population living in slums in the top cities of India

as shown by the chart below:

37

In 1995, the State Government of Maharashtra initiated the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme to

be administered by the newly-created Slum Rehabilitation Authority (“SRA”) to redevelop

slums in the Mumbai area. The main features of this scheme are:

� Slum dwellings have to be replaced by residential buildings containing flats of 225 square

feet that are constructed free of cost to former slum dwellers by private real estate

developers participating in the scheme. The Government of Maharashtra subsidizes this

clearance and construction by granting developers the right to develop a proportion of

former slum land for their own purposes, or by granting them transferable development

rights (“TDRs”), which may be used to develop land elsewhere in Mumbai, north of the slum

land concerned.

� For every 10 square meters of rehabilitation tenements constructed for free for former

slum dwellers, a real estate developer is allowed to construct a certain amount of for-sale

flats. Moreover, TDRs permit developers to develop land in certain parts of Mumbai that are

outside the rehabilitated slum area that gave rise to the TDRs. A TDR is made available in

the form of a certificate issued by the municipal corporation of Mumbai, and its owner can

use it either for actual construction or can sell it on the open market.

� Residential development on slum land that is subject to the SR Scheme also benefits from

a superior FSI allowance which determines the total permitted construction area as a

portion of the total land area of a site. Under the SR Scheme, the FSI is 2.5 as against a

normal FSI of 1.33 thereby making the SR Scheme attractive for developers.

� Moreover, the SR Scheme can enable a developer to acquire land in prime locations in

Mumbai. The acquisition can be made at effectively a lower cost than traditional purchases

of land for cash, thereby reducing the asset cycle risk for the developer between land

acquisition and sale of developed property or TDRs.

The innovative subsidy mechanism of the SR Scheme has spurred redevelopment activity in

certain deprived areas of Mumbai which were previously unattractive to real estate

developers. In addition to helping fulfil the social obligations of the administration, which

may not have all the resources to undertake rehabilitation projects on a large scale within a

particular time period, an on-going benefit of the SR Scheme to the administration of

38

Mumbai includes the addition of individuals to the tax rolls when they occupy new housing

who, as slum dwellers, were not previously part of the tax base.

The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the country's economy. The real

estate sector is second only to agriculture in terms of employment generation and

contributes heavily towards the gross domestic product (GDP). Almost five per cent of the

country's GDP is contributed to by the housing sector. In the next five years, this

contribution to the GDP is expected to rise to 6 per cent.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle, faster economic growth in Brazil, Russia, India and China

(BRIC) could result in the property markets of those nations recovering at a faster rate than

the UK and US real estate markets. It has also been suggested that India's property sector

could begin to improve from late 2009 and may attract up to US$ 12.11 billion in real

estate investment over a five-year period.

The IT and ITES sector alone is estimated to require 150 million sq ft of office space across

urban India by 2010. Organized retail is also responsible for the growth in commercial

office space requirement. The organized retail industry is likely to require an additional 220

million sq ft by 2010. Moreover, growth is not restricted to a few towns and cities but is

pan-India, covering nearly all tier-I and tier-II cities.

Almost 80 per cent of real estate developed in India is residential space, the rest comprising

of offices, shopping malls, hotels and hospitals. According to the Tenth Five-Year-Plan,

there is a shortage of 22.4 million dwelling units. Thus, over the next 10 to 15 years, 80 to

90 million housing dwelling units will have to be constructed with a majority of them

catering to middle and lower-income groups.

Moreover, a report by leading international property consultants, Jones Lang LaSalle

Meghraj and Cushman & Wakefield India in association with Shopping Centres Association

of India, named Mall Realities India 2010, states that over 100 malls of over 30 million sq

feet of new shopping centre space are projected to open in India between 2009 and end-

2010. Apart from the huge demand, India also scores on the construction front. A McKinsey

report reveals that the average profit from construction in India is 18 per cent, which is

double the profitability for a construction project undertaken in the US.

39

Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have also shown confidence in the country’s

construction sector and are shoring up investment. With the BSE Sensex touching a 15-

month high, the market capitalization of FII investment in construction has gone up a

whopping 422 per cent in the past six months.

The real estate sector is also likely to get a boost from Real Estate Mutual Funds (REMFs)

and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). In fact, according to a CRISIL paper, the REITs

would have the potential to hold at least 5 per cent share of the total global real estate

market by 2010, the size of which would turn to US$ 1,400 billion in the next 3 years. The

paper titled, ‘Indian REITs; Are We Prepared', says that by 2010, REITs alone would hold a

market size of US$ 70 billion of the total real estate market as its concept is gaining ground

in countries like India and other developing nations.

09 has been US$ 12.62 billion approximately, according to the latest data given by the

Government Initiatives

The government has introduced many progressive reform measures to unlock the potential

of the sector and also meet increasing demand levels. The stimulus package announced by

the government, coupled with the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) move allowing banks to

provide special treatment to the real estate sector, is likely to impact the Indian real estate

sector in a positive way. RBI has decided to extend exceptional concessional treatment to

the commercial real estate exposure and restructured it to June 30, 2009.

• 100 per cent FDI allowed in realty projects through the automatic route.

• In case of integrated townships, the minimum area to be developed has been brought

down to 25 acres from 100 acres.

• Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (ULCRA) repealed by increasingly larger

number of states.

• Minimum capital investment for wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures stands at

US$ 10 million and US$ 5 million, respectively.

• Full repatriation of original investment after three years.

• 51 per cent FDI allowed in single-brand retail outlets and 100 per cent in cash-and-carry

through the automatic route.

The Union Ministry of Commerce & Industry has initiated steps to reduce the time taken to

develop special economic zones (SEZs) by simplifying procedures to get the tax-free

industrial enclaves notified.

41

Developers will now be able to get their land classified as an SEZ at the initial stage of

approvalby submitting legal documents that prove land ownership. Budget 2009-2010, has

also given sops to the realty sector. Developers of affordable housing projects (units of

1,000-1,500 sq ft) have been granted a tax holiday on profits from projects initiated in the

2007-08 financial year. Such projects would have to be completed before March 1, 2012.

At the same time, the finance minister allocated US$ 207 million to grant a 1 per cent

interest subsidy on home loans up to US$ 20,691, provided the cost of the home is not

more than US$ 41,382. This subsidy is expected to give a further boost to the Real estate

sector.

V. OBJECTS OF THE SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

The composite scheme of arrangement envisages the demerger of Real Estate /

Infrastructure Division of M/s.Virat Crane Industries Limited into a Separate Listed

Company in the name and style of M/s. Crane Infrastructure Ltd, first and then the merger

/ amalgamation of M/s. Durga Dairy Limited (Transferor company) with M/s.Virat Crane

Industries Limited.

Virat Crane Industries Limited (VCIL or Company) is into Food Products, Fruit Masala, Pan

Masala and Guthka. In Early 2000, Gutkha was banned in Andhra Pradesh and the

company’s major revenue generating business and the company’s financial model got

impaired. Since then VCIL has been operating in the Fruit Masala Segment and looking for

avenues to strengthen its revenue model.

The company to strengthen its revenue model has embarked on expansion of its activities

into Food / Dairy and Food / Dairy related Products. Hither to, the company has picked up

stake up to the extent of 41.8% in M/s. Durga Dairy Ltd, a company engaged in

manufacturing and sale of Ghee. During the year 2006-07, the company has increased its

stake in Durga Dairy Limited from 41.8% to 51% and made it a subsidiary of the company

to gain the consolidated strength in terms of revenues.

With a view to augment its activities as a combined entity, the company with the consent of

the residual stake holders in M/s. Durga Dairy Ltd has embarked on the Amalgamation of

this entity with itself.

61

The company also has 60,000 Sq.ft Office Premises and approximately 60,000 Sq.ft of

Factory Premises. Also the company has in its possession, 10.5 acres of land of which 6

acres of the land is vacant is located at the centre of Guntur City.

The company has already converted its 60,000 Sq.ft office premises into a Software Park

and currently 40,000 Sq.ft is occupied by Software Companies.

The company intends to use about 1.5 acres of land for setting up a Multiplex and the

remaining 4.5 acres for developing commercial office premises in the fast growing city of

Guntur.

For achieving the above said goals in Real estate / Infrastructure Business, the company

needs to have separate focus and dedicated approach to exploit the vast potential that the

Real estate / Infrastructure and property development plans that the company possesses.

In view of this, the company has decided to demerge the real estate / infrastructure

business undertaking from Virat Crane Industries Limited into a separate company by

name Crane Infrastructure limited .

It is submitted that the proposed composite scheme of arrangement shall hive off the real

estate and infrastructure business to a new entity and shall combine all the manufacturing

activities of the companies into one single entity for achieving maximum utilisation of the

resources of VCIL. Therefore it has been decided to incorporate a new company to pursue

the activities of Real Estate Business of VCIL which would enhance the value of its

shareholders. It is further submitted that considering the exigencies of the business of the

company and in keeping with their interest in Real Estate Business, the company feel that

for greater focus on the different activities of the company and to ensure accelerated growth

and improved profitability in the specific areas of operation, it would be advantageous to

reorganize the company and demerge the Real Estate Business and to focus on

manufacturing activities separately. It is further submitted that the said arrangement /

reorganization is essential to ensure better business opportunities and focus on accelerated

growth of the individual segments in the current scenario in the real estate market. The

proposed arrangement of reorganization would act to the benefit of the shareholders,

creditors and employees and would sub-serve their interests with further growth.

62

The main business focus of CIL will be that of project management and development of

commercial, retail and residential properties. The Company's operations span all aspects of

real estate development, from the identification and acquisition of land, to the planning,

execution and marketing of its projects (including architecture, design management and

interior design), through to the maintenance and management of its completed

developments, as well as providing consultancy services on engineering, industrial and

technical matters to all forms of industries including companies engaged in construction-

development of real estate and infrastructure projects. In the commercial business area, the

Company's intention is to build, lease and sell commercial office space, with a focus on

properties attractive to large multinational tenants. The Company's intention with regard to

its retail business area is to develop, manage and lease or sell shopping malls. In the

residential area, the Company aims to build and lease or sell a wide range of properties

including houses, duplexes and apartments of varying sizes, with a focus on the higher end

of the market.

With the growth of the Indian economy and the resulting increase in corporate and

consumer incomes, as well as foreign investment, the Company believes there are

significant opportunities for growth in its three primary business areas.

well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide

a basis for our audit opinion.

XIII. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

A. Economic and Industrial Review: The Construction sector has grown at about 12

percent annually for the past five years. It contributed Rs.3.8 trillion to the Indian

GDP during the year 2007-08 compared to Rs.3.46 trillion in 2006-07. In the past

five years, the sector has seen many new trends, project sizes have increased, and

equipment and manpower have been ramped up with better technologies deployed.

Until the global crisis, the growth rate of the construction sector was higher than the

GDP growth rate. However, the situation has changed drastically in the past six

months. While the sector witnessed robust growth during the first half of 2008,

growth slowed in the second half of the year and experts estimate that for financial

year 2008-09, the construction sector growth rate would match the fall in the GDP

growth rate.

and technical matters to all forms of industries including companies engaged in

construction development of real estate and infrastructure projects.

large scale office, retail/mall and residential developments. It has assembled an

experienced team that has strong capabilities in various aspects of project execution

and strong relationships with corporate, government and financial institutions as

well as in depth knowledge of the localities in which it is developing projects.

D. Opportunities and Challenges: Companies that have a diversified presence even

within the infrastructure sector are doing fine despite the financial down turn. The

134

impetus provided by infrastructure growth continues to throw unprecedented

opportunities for the construction sector. While potential investments are spread

across all sectors, there has certainly been a tremendous growth in the sectors of

Power, comprising, generation and transmission; Oil & Gas, Ports, Airports, Roads &

Bridges, Railways and Urban Infrastructure. As shown below, the estimated

investment across these sectors for the 11th Five year plan is close to Rs.2600

billion.

E. Out Look: The Company is continuously studying various propositions to diversify

its activities. The Management is confident that they will be successfully

implemented once they are finalized. With the proposed merger the Company firmly

believes to expand, diversify and explore new opportunities.

estate / Infrastructure sector. Internal Control System is reasonable and adequate.
