ECONOMIC OVERVIEW, INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

The fiscal year 2009-10 began as a difficult one. There was a significant slowdown in the growth rate in the second half of 2008-09, following the financial crisis that began in the industrialized nations in 2007 and spread to the real economy across the world. The continued recession in the developed world, for the better part of 2009-10, meant a sluggish export recovery and a slowdown in financial flows into the economy. Despite the global slowdown, the Indian economy expanded by 7.4% during 2009-10 as compared to the gross domestic product (GDP) of 6.7% in 2008-09. Core industries and infrastructure services, led by the robust growth momentum of telecom services and spread across power, coal and other infrastructure like ports, civil aviation and roads, have also shown signs of recovery in 2009-10. The core infrastructure industry grew by 5.5% in 2009-10. The stimulus measures announced by the national authorities worldwide to combat the economic slowdown contained infrastructure buildup plans.

 

The Central and State Governments of India are focusing on establishing an appropriate policy framework for the infrastructure sector which provides the private sector with incentives to make large-scale investments, at the same time preserving adequate checks and balances through transparency, competition and regulation. There has been a shift towards financing of infrastructure development to the private sector, primarily through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), which are based on a partnership between the public and the private sectors for the purpose of delivering a project or service traditionally provided by the public sector. PPPs are designed to mobilize financial resources and realize benefits from private sector efficiencies to meet the growing demand for infrastructure services. The initiatives undertaken in the Union Budget for fiscal 2010 as regards infrastructure sector is a positive step in that direction. In line with the rest of the world, the Union Budget for 2009-10 substantially stepped up allocation for many infrastructure sectors over the Budget estimates for the previous year, especially for the National Highways Development Program (NHDP), Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) and Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program (APDRP). Recently in order to give a push to economic activity, the government constituted the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI) to fast-track the implementation of the infrastructure sector projects and monitor their performance. The Government has undertaken a series of legislative, administrative and executive initiatives to minimize infrastructure deficit, ameliorate bottlenecks in completion of projects and nurture core industrial and infrastructure services.

 

SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITY AND REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE:

 

In the civil engineering and construction industry, the order book is considered as a potential future performance indicator since it represents a portion of anticipated revenues. The Company aims to focus not only on order book additions, but also on capturing a quality order book with potentially high margins. The Company’s order book position as on 31/3/2010 stood at approx. Rs.145000.000 millions.

 

Transportation Engineering:

 

The Company is engaged in the design and construction of roads, bridges, metros, flyovers, ports and airports.

 

Roads:

 

India has the second largest Road Network in the world consisting of National and State Highways, Expressways and other major district and rural roads having a total length of approximately 3.34 million kms. The road traffic is increasing at a rate of 7 to 10% p.a. The total length of National Highways in the country at present is 68354 km which comprises only 2 per cent of the total road network, but carries over 40% of the total traffic. State Highways constitute 13% of the road length and carries 40% of the road traffic. In order to give a boost to the economic development of the country, the Government has embarked upon a massive National Highways Development Project (NHDP) in the country which is being implemented by the NHAI in phases. Implementation of the NHDP continues to face restraints in issues like shifting of utilities, availability of right of way, land acquisition, removal of structures thereby affecting the contractors capacity to ensure timely completion of road projects. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has set a target of completion of 20 km of NHs per day, which translates to 35,000 km at the rate of 7,000 km per year during the next five years (2009-14). With the National desire to upgrade Indian roads to international standard, your Company continues to be a partner for this endeavor. The Company secured 2 major projects during the year:

 

(i) Contract worth Rs. 7500.000 millions for improvement of 63 Kms long Patna-Muzzafarpur bypass Project viz Patna-Muzzarfarpur Road – upgradation of Hajipur-Muzaffarpur section of the existing NH-77 to four lane dual carriageway.

(ii) Improvement, Operation and Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Strengthening of Existing 2-Lane road and Widening it to 4-Lane divided highway of Vadape to Gonde section of NH-3 in the state of Maharashtra on BOT basis aggregating to Rs. 6850.000 millions

 

NHAI has a target to improve about 11854 Kms. road to international standard and the Company endeavors to secure a sizeable segment of the above. The Company is also bidding for additional business from non-NHAI players in India and from countries like Srilanka, Indonesia, Uganda,

 

Tanzania and Ethiopia. Of the ongoing Projects, three major jobs, i.e. Agra-Makanpur bypass, Nasik road works and Gajol Hill are nearing completion. The total executed contract value on road sector for the FY 2009-10 was Rs.4849.300 millions. Other ongoing road jobs particularly the Karnataka Roads (contract value Rs.4360.000 millions) and Gorakhpur Bypass (Contract Value Rs.5600.000 millions) projects have progressed satisfactorily.

 

Bridges, Metro Viaducts and Flyovers:

 

In spite of its prominent role in Indian economy, urban India faces serious problems due to population pressure, deterioration in the physical environment and quality of life. Traffic congestion has assumed critical dimensions in many metropolitan cities due to massive increase in the number of personal vehicles, inadequate road space and lack of public transport. The Government has accorded highest priority to improving urban infrastructure by giving a boost to Metro rail in almost all metropolitan cities of the country The dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India will offer new opportunities for bridges, Rail track laying, signaling and Telecommunications approximately valued at Rs.50000.000 millions.

Review of International Businesses:

 

In order to be responsive to the increasing trend to seek one stop services and for civil contractors to take responsibility for the engineering, supplying, erecting and commissioning of projects, the Company has adopted a long term plan of creating a complete power vertical through its subsidiaries which include EPC, Civil, BTG engineering, manufacturing and power utility projects. To this end the Company’s international acquisitions and a review of their performance is listed below;

 

Sofinter Group:

 

The Group activities comprise the design and manufacture of Industrial Boilers, Heat Recovery Steam Generators, Power utility steam boilers up to supercritical sizes, EPC related to power utilities and R and D in flameless technology using waste and low grade coal with zero carbon emissions. The Groups Clients are spread across 35 countries with a captive market with excess of 1000 units for an installed base of approx. 80,000 Mwt. The global economic downturn post the 3rd quarter of 2008 continued to have its impact for the better part of 2009. Lending by the banks in Italy was severely curtailed for companies in general including the Company. In fact, overall debt exposure of the Banks in the Sofinter Group decreased by over Euro 100 million resulting in lower financial cost of approx. Euro 4.6 million. Nevertheless, with tight cash management and improved efficiencies across all activities of the Group, the overall turnover although lower by 10% at Euro 446.4 million (Euro 499.24 million in the previous year 31st December, 2008) resulted in an EBITDA of Euro 26.83 million [Euro (17.20) million in the previous year 31st December, 2008] and PAT of Euro (0.44) million [Euro (42) million in the previous year 31st December, 2008]. On 1st December, 2009, additional banking limits of approx Euro 140 million was formalized. Order books of the Group at the year end on 31st December, 2009 stood at approx Euro 460 million.

 

In line with Gammon’s strategy, of leveraging on the technological capabilities of Ansaldo Caldaie S.p.A in the supercritical boiler segment for the Indian market starting with the bulk tender announced by NTPC, the facilities of Ansaldo Caldaie Boilers India Pvt. Ltd. near Chennai are being scaled up at a foreseen investment of approx ` 200 Crores. The enhanced facilities are expected to become operational and integration processes between Italy & India fully in place by the 2nd quarter of 2011, by which time it is anticipated that the Indian company would have bagged orders in the supercritical segment from the Clients like NTPC and other IPPs.

 

Franco Tosi Mecanicca S.p.A:

 

The activities of the Company relate to the design and manufacture of steam and hydro turbines from its manufacturing facilities located in Legnano, Italy. The Company faced the same challenges experienced by the Sofinter Group. However, the banking problems were to some extent mitigated through facilities tied up with banks outside Italy. Several efficiency measures initiated in 2008, tighter contract management, the restarting of the repair and rehabilitation division to take advantage of the captive market of over 75000 Mw of FTM machines globally and the continuous emphasis on managing supply chain logistics in India have resulted in an overall improvement in the operations of the Company. Turnover of Euro 92.03 million [Euro 102.34 million as on 31st December, 2008], although lower by 10% from the previous year has resulted in an EBITDA Euro 12.17 million [Euro (8.54) as on 31st December, 2008] and PAT of Euro 0.17 million [Euro (17.66) million as on 31st December, 2008.] Year end order book was Euro 285 million. The company is actively bidding in the Indian market and has in fact been able to secure its first order for 2 X 150 MW turbines from an IPP in India. The company is also exploring ways and means of entering the Hydro turbine market in India given the vast potential in this segment and the superior capabilities of the Company in this segment.

 

SAE Power Lines S.R.L:

 

The activities of the Company relating to the design fabrication and erection of transmission towers and lines continue to be stable in spite of the down turn, especially due to the newer markets in North East and West Africa showing robust growth. The Company is also exploring markets in the United States of America as well as Mexico for its products and services. In calendar year 2009, the Company recorded a turnover of Euro 54.07 million [Euro 29.73 million as on 31st December, 2008], EBITDA Euro 1.90 million [Euro (2.73) million as on 31st December, 2008] and PAT Euro 0.07 million [Euro (2.77) million as on 31st December, 2008]. Further, the year end order book was Euro 70 million and additionally the company is well placed in bids approx. Euro 50 million.

 

Oil and Gas:

 

The execution of the Minimum Works Program on the Puma Marginal Field in Ecuador through Campo Puma Oriente S.A. which commenced in 2008 continues at a brisk pace, and is on schedule in terms of the contract with Petro Ecuador. Proven reserves are approx. 11 million barrels of oil. Currently 2 work over wells and 4 development wells are operational and are producing approx 1500 barrels per day. 3 more development wells and 2 exploratory wells as well as seismic surveys are planned to be completed by the end of the first Quarter of 2011. The Company will also commence the exploration program in Nebraska, USA as reported last year in the second Quarter of 2011, by which time it is foreseen that the operations at Puma Marginal Oil Field would have stabilized and become self sustaining.

 

Transmission and Distribution Business:

 

The Transmission and Distribution (T&D) business of the Company operates on Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) basis in power transmission and distribution sector. With its execution capacities, large manufacturing capabilities for Transmission Tower & Conductor and Customer focus the Company is recognised as a leading player in India.

 

The Company has also been expanding its footing into overseas countries and executing EPC contracts in Algeria, Kenya, Afghanistan and also supplying towers to Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Oman, etc. With the thrust on privatization of Transmission Lines involving large investments in BOOT/BOO basis, the division is well positioned to capture the business opportunity having large manufacturing capacity for towers as well as conductors. To cater to the ever growing power consumption, rapid industrialization and huge energy deficit, the Government of India had planned to make large capital expenditure in the 11th Five Year Plan in the Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution segments and set a target of adding about 78,000 MW of additional capacity. This will enable the company to cater to the ever growing demand of power transmission and distribution. Government had initiated several Schemes including Accelerated Power Development and Reforms Programme (APDRP) and the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) for bringing about qualitative improvements of the power distribution systems and electrification of all rural households and villages in India. The budgetary allocation for APDRP scheme has been enhanced from Rs.8000.000 millions to Rs.20800.000 millions in year 2009-10. The electrical energy requirement is expected to grow about 8% per annum. The  company is also looking for international opportunities in transmission and distribution business in Africa, Middle East and Central Asia. With the addition of third tower manufacturing plant at Deoli, Wardha district capacity has been enhanced to more than 100,000 MT per annum. During the year, the Company has also successfully commissioned 6 projects covering more than 850 Kms transmission lines of 765 & 400 KV.

 

During the year, the Company was successful in securing transmission line orders for more than 1500 Kms in various voltage class from domestic and overseas market . The Company has also during the year forayed into manufacturing of high mast poles with the setting up of its subsidiary, Transrail Lighting Ltd. (TLL) which will be commissioned by September 2010. The Company has in-house design, pole manufacturing capacity of 30,000 MT per annum which are required for Street Lights, Telecom, Stadiums, power transmission and distribution etc. The T and D business of the Company mainly comes from Central utilities, State utilities and Industry clients. The power sector in India has an estimated capacity addition of more than 1,60,000 MW during the period 2012-17. In order to provide availability of over 1,000 units of per capita electricity by the year 2012.

 

Distribution:

 

APDRP and RGGVY schemes are expected to accelerate investment in the power distribution sector. The Government has set aside Rs. 20800.000 millions in the current budget under the APDRP Scheme as compared to Rs. 8000.000 millions for last year for bringing about improvement in the urban power distribution sector. The RGGVY scheme aims to bring about access to electricity to all rural households by the year 2012.

 

International:

 

The Company sees immense opportunities in the emerging markets such as Africa and Middle East on account of need of better power transmission network, funding support from multilateral agencies, power generation plans and spending by oil producing countries. The company has adopted the route of forming subsidiaries and JV overseas to enter into newer markets with its subsidiary SAE Power Lines S.r.l., Italy which has been the global player in T and D sector.
