BUSINESS
PROSPECTS
The growth of Indian Economy has thrown challenges for creating proper
Infrastructure to sustain the growth envisaged. Government of India has
realized the importance of developing Infrastructure Sectors which has been
reflected by its increased focus on clearing investments in developing Road and
Expressways, Telecommunication Systems, Urban Infrastructures by way of
promoting Mass Rapid Transportation Systems (MRTS), Privatizing and Opening of
Sea Ports and Air Ports. To meet with the growing energy demand, numbers of
incentives have been offered for Mega Power Projects as well as the development
of Mines as a part of backward integration of Power Projects. The recent
findings of oil and gas fields in India have offered tremendous opportunities
for Pipeline Laying Companies for executing Cross Country Pipelines which would
be used for evacuating oil and gas and would avoid decongestion of surface
transport.
The consistent increase in crude oil price in International Market has created a
boom in the Middle East Market, as numbers of new green field projects in the
Refinery and Petro-Chemical Sectors are coming up with the latest technological
inputs.
The firming up of steel prices in the international markets and the growing
demands of Hot Rolled Coils, world over, has resulted in a number of existing
steel making companies, setting up of green field projects, mainly in the
eastern part of India, as well as overseas having close proximity of
mines.
The company has got its unique experience which can cater to most of the
business opportunities stated above, as it has demonstrated the ability to lay
cross country Oil and Gas Pipelines, setting up of Power Plants, setting up of
Steel Manufacturing facilities on EPC basis. It has already submitted a number
of Expression of Interest (EOI) to get qualified with the prospective clients
by providing expression of interest for the projects in the above fields. In
certain cases, it is joining hands with the International Leading Construction
Companies on Project to Project basis, for getting qualified for doing the
projects in Pipe Laying Sectors, Petro-chemical Sectors, Power Plants and Steel
Plants.
Currently, the company is having consortium arrangements with JSC
Stroystransgaz [STG] of Russia, DQE International of China, Harbin Power
Engineering Company Limited, China and SEPCO Electric Power Construction
Corporation, China for doing the Pipeline jobs and Power Plant Projects.
For MRTS Project, it has been short listed as one of the qualified bidders for
the Hyderabad Mass Rapid Transit System by bringing the Consortium of
Singaporean Companies comprising of Sembcorp Engineers and Constructions PTE
Limited, Singapore Technologies Engineering Limited, SMRT Engineering PTE
Limited, who have experience in the MRTS fields.
During the year, the company has done an exploratory business trip to Iran
where the opportunities for associating with construction of green fields Steel
and Power Projects are immense. One of the Essar Group company is in
discussions with the local Iranian Investment Company to set up a Steel Plant
in Iran and accordingly, a company by the name of Essar Pars Steel Company
(EPSC) was created in Iran with the participation of Iranian company and Essar
Group. Pending finalization of scope and EPC price, the client, EPSC has
requested Essar Constructions Limited to undertake some preliminary civil work
and survey at Iran for a contract value of US $ 1 Million which has been
successfully completed by the company during the year under review.

company can continue to get qualified and execute the Contracts for Refinery
and Petro-chemical Sectors which has tremendous growth potential in the current
scenario. With this aim in view, the Company has decided to acquire the
Construction Division of EPL, on a going concern basis, with effect from the
closing hour of 30th June, 2006 for a net consideration of Rs.10 Millions. As a
result of this transfer of business, as a going concern, the ongoing business
of EPL i.e. Oil Refinery of Essar Oil Limited, Terminal Project of Vadinar Oil
Terminal Limited, Road Construction Project of National Highways Authority of
India (NHAI), Davangere, Karnataka and Water Pipeline Project in Rajasthan has
been transferred to the Company with all its rights and obligations including
the experience, equipments, manpower and assets associated with the EPL
Construction Division.

The Company
From pipelines to ports, from industrial projects to
intelligent buildings, and on to canals, townships, highways, bridges and
breakwaters- Essar Projects Ltd. (EPL) has a rich and varied track record as a
premier EPC company.
As one of India's leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
contractors, they have designed and executed projects worth over US$ 3 bn
(Rs.140000.000 Millions) and are currently implementing projects worth US$ 2.5
bn (Rs.116250.000 Millions). They skilfully bring together hundreds of
engineers and tens of thousands of workers to complete their projects, always
maintaining an uncompromising focus on quality and safety. Setting high
benchmarks for ourselves, they have consistently broken new ground and achieved
a long list of firsts. For example, they built the world's largest gas-based
sponge iron plant, were the first Indian company to set up an independent power
plant, pioneered the laying of offshore oil and gas pipelines in India and
built India's first and longest island breakwater.
A history of expertise
They honed their skills as the turnkey EPC company for most of the Essar
Group’s world-class projects and supporting infrastructure, constructing most
of the group’s current asset base of US$ 10 bn (Rs. 400 billion). That includes
a 5.5 MTPA sponge iron plant, a 4.6 MTPA steel mill and a 1200 MW power plant
at Hazira, a 8 MTPA pelletisation plant in Visakhapatnam, a cold rolling mill
in Indonesia and a 10.5 MTPA oil refinery at Vadinar, Gujarat. Indeed, the very
origin of the Essar Group was in specialised marine construction. As they
acquired a truly wide and solid base of experience in major areas of industrial
and infrastructure construction, they evolved from being the Group’s projects
division into Essar Projects Ltd.
Special strengths
Simultaneously, they grew into a leading EPC contractor for other
customers, both domestic and international. Here too, both their exposure and
their expertise are wide ranging. Apart from their EPC capability in oil and
gas, power and steel, marine construction is one of their special strengths.
They have a unique capacity for underwater rock blasting and dredging. They
also have significant skills in constructing irrigation canals, siphons and
bridges. ECL has a special expertise in pipelines for oil, gas and water as the
only Indian company with over 20 years of experience in cross-country, onshore
and offshore pipelines, from construction to commissioning. They have laid
2,500 km of pipelines and built 150 km of the prestigious Narmada canal. They
are well equipped for infrastructure construction particularly in the areas of
ports, jetties and roads; they have built hundreds of kilometres of roads,
including national and state highways and expressways.
Equally noteworthy are their long-term relationships with over 20 strategic
partners, including multinational construction and engineering companies
from around the world. For example, currently a consortium of ECL, Stroystransgaz
of Russia is the EPC contractor for the 267 KM Bailadilla-Vizag slurry
pipeline. This is world's second longest slurry pipleine.
Delighting customers, always
Little
wonder, then, that a long and impressive list of clients has turned tothem,
including most major Indian ports, the National Highway Authority of India, the
Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Gas Authority of India, Hindustan
Petroleum and ONGC. Their expertise is also internationally recognised, whether
for the pipelines they laid in Qatar, the harbours they dredged in Sri Lanka or
the cold rolling mill they built in Indonesia. What's more, they have won
important contracts from government agencies through local and international
competitive bidding, meeting the stringent requirements of the World Bank and
the Asian Development Bank.
Their clients
can rely on their skilled, experienced team; a large, owned equipment bank of
the latest construction equipment that is also available for hire; and their
talent for scouting the globe to procure the best materials at competitive
prices. They offer tailor-made solutions to meet every customer need, on a
lump-sum turnkey basis or on item rate contracts. They have the flexibility to
undertake infrastructure projects either on an EPC, build-own-transfer or
build-own-operate-transfer basis. Thus, they are strategically placed to use
their 30 years of project management expertise to support the infrastructure
explosion in India and abroad. EPL will always live up to the mission of achieving
excellence through world-class practices and standards in quality, safety and
project management.
