HISTORY

 

Engaged in civil engineering construction and housing development projects, Subject has undertaken the construction of thermal power, steel and petrochemical plants and public utility buildings for a number of reputed public and private sector companies.

 
It went public in Sep.'92 to part-finance two housing projects. Behind its present solid status is its strategic planning which deserves mention. The decision to enter Libya during the oil boom in the mid-seventies and strengthen its base in a country where competition was less than other Arab nations, helped it forge ahead, untroubled by the Iran-Iraq war. Moreover, a diversified project-mix, which includes projects in a wide variety of industries, helps reduce risks arising from dependence on a few industries. The decision to enter into real estate and housing development in 1986 helped it sustain its growth, in spite of drastic cuts in government expenditure in the early nineties.  

 
It has signed a MoU with a Singapore consortium and Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), to set up a technology park at Gurgaon. The company is also setting up a ready-mix concrete and concrete blocks plant at Taloja.

During 1995-96, Hyundai Unitech Electrical Transmission became a subsidiary of the company. The company signed a joint venture agreement with Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and First Capital Property Ventures Pte Limited, Singapore, to develop a technology park at Gurgaon which will house the high technology industries proposed to be set up by domestic and international companies of repute.
