HISTORY:

 

Subject was incorporated as a public limited company on July 19, 1995. The Company obtained Certificate of Commencement of Business on July 19, 1995. The Company was promoted by Mr. Ajit B. Kulkarni who has very vast experience in the construction industry. The Company has taken over the existing running business of M/s Pratibha Industries, a registered partnership firm in the year 1999-2000 Pratibha is a medium sized ISO 9001:2000 certified company engaged in the business of infrastructure development with focus on water supply, sewerage, road construction, mass housing including commercial public utilities like railway station complexes, EPC contracts for oil and gas transmission and pre-cast design cum construction. The Company has been awarded more than 50 projects in last 7 years. The Company has executed various projects for clients like Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran, Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), Delhi Jal Board, Akola Municipal Corporation, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Army Housing Welfare Organisation, Indian Railway Welfare Organisation, National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC), Public Work Department - Government of Maharashtra, Karnataka Urban Water Supply and drainage Board, Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), Maharashtra Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), to name a few. Their Company is professionally managed by well qualified and experienced personnel in all areas including engineering, tendering and estimation, execution and monitoring, finance, administration and human resource. During 2005-06, many major projects such as R R Water Supply Scheme for 84 Villages in Akot and Telhara Tahsil of Akola District, Construction of Railway Offices, finishes to Concourses, subways, forecourt development, electrical work services, landscaping etc at Ghansoli Railway Station complex, Navi mumbai, providing and laying 3000 mm internal diameter M S Rising Main from Amne Bridge to amnepada and from Wakipada to proposed pumping station at Panjrapur and 2400 mm internal diameter M S injection main from existing dome on Additional Arum and connecting the same to M-II and M-III outlet of M B R Yewal including cement mortar lining from inside and allied works and Design and Build clear water transmission main for filling strorage reservoirs in South Delhi for Delhi Jal Board were successfully completed. During the same period the company came out with an Initial Public Offer of Rs.42,85,000 equity shares through 100% Book Building on February 16, 2006 and the offer closed on February 22, 2006 During 2006-07,To enlarge and to diversify the activity of the company, the company has ventured into a completely new segment viz building and modernisation of Airports. In this segment, the company has already secured two prestigous Airports viz Amritsar Airport and Ahmedabad Airport from the Airport Authority of India. The company is also in the fray for bidding for airport modernisation/development projects as and when announched by Airport Authority of India. The company has also constructed shopping mall in suburbs of Mumbai as part of its role to play a full fledged infrastructure development company. The company also has entered into strategic alliances and joint ventures with Austrian Company M/S Ostu-Statin for tunnelling and Thailand based M/s Italian-Thai Development Company for Ahmedabad Airport Project. The company has also decided to establish a manufacturing facility for spiral pipes and coating thereof at Wada near Mumbai. The company has started the construction of unit during the financial year at a estimated cost of Rs.811.000 millions. The project is expected to start commercial production of spiral pipes by end of May, 2007. The coating plant is expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of the financial year. During the year, the company acquired 100% shareholding in Pratibha Infrastructure Private Limited making it a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

The company has continued its spree of achieving and exhibiting robust and excellent performance. Being the fastest growing company in"-India in its segment, the company has again demonstrated its flawless skills of execution of complex and prestigious engineering projects. The last financial year again was one of the best year for the company and the company has achieved highest ever top as well as bottom lines. The performance during the last financial year is impressive and company has crossed the psychological barrier and entered, into an elite league companies having turnover of Rs.10000.000 millions and more. The company has achieved a record turnover of Rs.10130.000 millions, which has increased by over 27% as compared, to Rs.8000.000 millions in the last financial year.

 

As briefed, the order book position of the company has also seen a phenomenal growth. The order book has surged to a record level and crossed the land mark of Rs.40000.000 millions. The company is very confident and bullish on getting few more big size orders, which will have substantial positive impact on the working, profitability and standing of the company in the industry. The execution period of these orders ranges from one to four years. The decision of the company to diversify into different sub-segments has yielded positive results and the company is getting awarded regularly- various projects in the construction division. The continued growth and swelling order book crystallise company's strength and understanding of the market and its core area of operations.

 

Traditionally, the water segment plays an important and crucial role in the performance of the company and contributes substantially towards the turnover and profitability of the company. It constitutes approximately 60-70 % of total turnover of the company; the order book is also consists major projects from the water segment. The company is eyeing rigorously in different fields to spread its wing in other area of infrastructure development to enhance its presence. Accordingly, the dependability of the company on water segment as percentage to total order book and sales revenue is 'decreasing. Though the company is continuously maintaining its edge in this niche area. In addition to water projects, various roads, tunnelling, airports, urban infrastructure etc. are also contributing towards the encouraging performance of the company.

 

In a conscious deviation move, the company is exploring various options to enlarge the base of activities. Accordingly in recent past, the company has aggressively and consciously ventured into relatively new segments viz. building and modernisation of airports, tunnelling, construction of high rises, shopping malls, urban infrastructure etc. In pursuit of this, the Company has recently executed and completed two major airport projects viz., Amritsar Airport and Ahmedabad Airport apart from execution of two tunnel projects for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Mumbai. The Company's foray into relatively new fields is an indication of the Company's desire to diversify itself and play an aggressive role of the full .fledged infrastructure development Company. The efforts for diversifying activities will enable company to execute more extreme engineering projects in future. The Company, despite increasing its base and diversifying. activities, has maintained its edge and efficiency in niche water segments. The company has also embarked upon the BOT/BOOT projects, and company's efforts are showing results, and to start with, the company got couple of EOT projects as well. The Company further wishes to diversify and embark upon lucrative, crucial and complex highway construction projects of NHAI in near future.

 

SAP IMPLEMENTATION

 

During the year, the Company has partially implemented SAP system w.e.f. 16th April, 201 0 which results in the better transparency, accountability and reliability of information and accounting system of the Company.

 

AWARD/CERTIFICATION

 

The company, during the financial year, has received an award from Construction World for -.being No.1 Fastest Growing Infrastructure Company in Medium category. This crystallizes company's commitment to growth.

 

Further recently, the Company has received prestigious award from CNBC - Infrastructure Excellence Awards -2010 under Urban Infrastructure category for 24 x 7 NMMC Water Supply scheme project .competed by the Company. The Company has also been short listed under Airport category for. Amritsar International Airport.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSES

 

Industry Structure - General

How strong is the infrastructure sector in India - is a question to ponder over amidst the global financial crisis and economic downturn. A lot of economies have adopted the strategy to develop the infrastructure! facilities for a fiscal thrust. In these cases, such economies have used infrastructure spending as a counterbalance against slowing economic activity and lower consumption. Adopting this strategy has helped the Indian infrastructure' sector perform comparatively better at a time when the other sectors were exhibiting slow or negative growth. Presently, the infrastructure sector in India accounts for 26.7%. of India's industrial output and is therefore an effective tool to balance as well boost the economy.

 

The government also has been focusing on .infrastructure spending heavily and the last five years has been worthwhile in this regard. In this context, the infrastructure companies in India also have been faring strongly and have surpassed all expectations.

 

The total investment in infrastructure in 2006—07 was estimated to be around 5%'of GDR From a macro-economic perspective and taking account of investment in infrastructure in other relatively fast growing countries, it can be argued that the .gross capital formation (GCF) in infrastructure should rise as a share of GDP from 5% in 2006-07 to 9% by the end of the Plan period.

 

As per the estimates of-the Planning Commission, the aggregate capital formation in infrastructure required to achieve India's targeted annual average growth in GDP of 9% over the Eleventh Plan period, would have to rise from Rs.2598390.000 millions in 2007- 08 to Rs.5740960.000 millions in 2011-12 at constant 2006-07 price. Over the Eleventh Plan period, as a whole, this estimate aggregates to Rs.20115210.000 millions or US$ 502188 billion (at an exchange rate of Rs 40/$).

 

The Union Budget 2010-11, has also continued to lay stress on physical infrastructure development, citing it as "one of the key catalysts in maintaining and pump priming the economic growth rate.

 

The Planning Commission of India has planned extensive expansion in the roads and highways, ports, civil aviation and airports,, and power infrastructure segments - all of which provide substantial opportunities for construction companies.

 

Water Supply and Sewerage

Water supply and sanitation in India continue to be inadequate, despite longstanding efforts by the various levels of government and communities at improving coverage. While the share of those with access to an improved water source is much higher than for sanitation, the quality of service is poor and most users that are counted as having access receive water .of dubious quality and only on an intermittent basis.

 

Most Indians depend on on-site sanitation facilities. Recently, access to on-site sanitation have increased in both rural and urban areas. In rural areas, total sanitation has been successful.

 

In urban areas, a good practice is the Slum Sanitation Program in Mumbai that has provided access to sanitation for a quarter million slum dwellers.

 

Airports

The Indian Civil Aviation Sector is in for a major overhaul over the next few years. In the wake of major policy changes taking place (due to a shift in the mindset of the government from considering air travel as elitist to making it available for the common man) and liberalization of air travel services, a sharp increase (5-1 0% yoy) in air traffic is expected. Major opportunities lie in Modernisation / upgradation of metro airports and subsequently Greenfield .airport projects which are planned in resort destinations and emerging metres such as Goa, Pune, Navi Mumbai, Greater Noida and Kanpur etc.

 

The Government is taking steps to increase participation by private industry. Estimated investment of about Rs.400000.000 millions (US $ 9.billion) is planned for airport development over the next 5 years.

 

Roads and highways

India has a vast network of National Highways (NHs) totaling to 34,298 km connecting important towns cities, ports and industrial centres of the country. Industrialization of the country has induced a traffic growth of 8-12 percent per year on many sections of National Highways and this growth trend is expected to continue. The Government estimates around US$90 billion plus investment is required over FY07-FY12 to improve the country's road infrastructure. Plans announced by the Government to increase investments in road infrastructure would increase funds from around US$15 billion per yea» to over US$23 billion in 201 1-12.The quantum of funds invested as part of these programmes will significantly exceed that invested in recent history. Such programmes would be funded via a mix of public and private initiatives.

 

The Indian Government, via the National Highway Development Program (NHDP), is planning more than 200 projects in NHDP Phase III and V to be bid out, representing around 13,000km of roads. The average project size is expected to be in the range of US$150 million-US$200 million.' About 53 projects with aggregate length of 3000km and an estimated cost of around US$8 billion are already at the pre-qualification -stage. Many states are also actively planning the development of their highways. While the average size of these projects is smaller than the NHDP projects, most will still be substantial.

 

Urban infrastructure

Urban infrastructure consists of drinking water, sanitation, sewage systems, electricity and gas distribution, urban transport, primary health services and environmental regulation. Rapid economic growth will inevitably lead to an increase in urbanization as cities provide large economies of agglomeration for individual activity.

 

The key to sustaining India's, growth rate during a global meltdown lies in quality infrastructure. A large number of Indian cities and towns need adequate quality infrastructure facilities, specifically, in the areas of water management, roads, transportation, housing; sanitation, sewage etc. Keeping this in mind, the government is targeting an investment of US$ 20.38 billion over the next two years in the infrastructure sector. The scheme aims to take up infrastructure projects under public private partnership (PPP).

 

The Government has initiated various initiatives such as allowing 100 per cent FDI in urban infrastructure projects, investment with repatriation benefit in many housing and real estate projects, 100 per cent FDI is permitted for the development of integrated townships, including housing, commercial buildings, hotels, resorts, etc., tax holiday for urban infrastructure projects. This is available to developers, and those carrying out operations and maintenance of water supply, sewerage, sanitation, etc.

 

Tunneling

With the increase in development work of hydroelectric projects in India, the amount of tunneling work has increased manifold. Besides to achieve time bound programmes of construction of mega projects in a period of four to five years modern methods of tunnel driving are being considered as only solution to achieve a high rate of progress, in 1980s a progress of 75m per face per month was considered as a high rate of progress whereas nowadays even 150m per face per month is not considered as a good progress. Most of the tunnels now under construction are quite long and normal DBM are failing to achieve a high rate of progress. The only solution is use of Tunnel Boring Machine (TBMs) to achieve a time bound programme of tunnel excavation in long reaches. To gain confidence level with TBM working in .Indian and Himalayan conditions, the systems are yet to be established. Not, many tunnels in India have been bored with TBMs, nevertheless it has proved a success in tunnels in India.

 

Power

Increased manufacturing activities and a growing population are also causing a surge in power usage. India has the fifth largest electricity grid in the world with 135 GW capacity, and the world's third largest transmission and distribution (T and D) network. Large investments are needed to meet growing demand and provide universal access. The policy and regulatory framework is pro-investment - shifting away from 'negotiated and guaranteed' to 'open and market competition'. An investment of US$167 billion is projected for electricity projects in the five year period from FY07-FY1 2. All new awards are through open, competitive bidding. A rush is on to develop new assets, harness natural resources, and attract global finance. Construction companies are considering involvement in the construction of power stations, and T and D networks, particularly if sustainable building and generation technologies can be leveraged. The Indian Government is also looking to encourage the generation of wind and solar power by providing generation based incentives to those companies who do not claim accelerated depreciation, so Construction companies with experience in building these types of alternative energy projects may find excellent opportunities.

 

Carbon Credits

 

Carbon dioxide, the most important greenhouse gas produced by combustion of fuels, has become a cause of global panic as its concentration in the Earth's atmosphere has been rising alarmingly. This was an unimaginable trading opportunity not more than' a decade ago. Carbon credits are a part of international emission trading norms. They incentivize companies or countries that emit less carbon. The total annual emissions are capped and the market allocates a monetary value to any shortfall through trading. Businesses can exchange, buy or sell carbon credits in international markets at the prevailing market' price. India and China are likely to emerge as the biggest sellers and Europe is going to be the biggest buyers of carbon credits.

 

Oil and Gas

 

The oil and gas industry has been instrumental in fuelling the rapid growth of the Indian economy. The petroleum and natural gas sector which includes transportation, refining and marketing of petroleum products and gas constitutes over 15 per cent of the GDR With Progressive industrialization of the country and growth in GDP, the consumption of petroleum products in the country has also been steadily increasing at more than 7% during the VIIIth plan and the projected growth in POL products in IX Plan is around 7% assuming a GDP growth of 6-7%. From a level of 31 MMT during 1 980-81, the consumption of petroleum products is expected to be around 81 MMT in 1996-97. The same is expected to go up to 113 MMT in 2001-02 and will further rise to 155 MMT by 2006-07.

 

In November 2008, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs awarded 44 oil and gas exploration blocks under the seventh round of auction of the New Exploration Licensing Policy (Nelp- VII). The overall number of blocks brought under exploration now exceeds 200.

 

The allocation is likely to bring in investments worth US$ 1.5 billion, which will open large opportunities for the pipe industries as transport of oil and gas through pipe lines is much cheaper than the surface transport mode.

 

Opportunities - Specific to subject Infrastructure and Construction

 

The government is committed to improve infrastructure of the country and has earmarked substantial funds for growth of the sector. With the committed efforts and investment, India is likely to witness next two decades of massive infrastructure activities to meet the increasing needs of a developing nation and a growing population. The rapidly growing urban population and the massive existing shortage of modern housing and commercial space have thus created nearly limitless opportunities making it almost a trillion dollar business opportunity in midterm. The commitment for improved infrastructure will ensure all round development of infrastructure facilities, these includes urban infrastructure, highways, roads, mass housing, airports, irrigation projects, drinking water projects etc. With projects of thousands of Crores in the infrastructure and construction segment, the company poised to benefit substantially. There are few players to take up jobs in the sector and the company has "over a period developed an expertise in executing these projects effectively and efficiently. Further, the company's adaptability to blend with other company of different culture will certainly help the company to form an alliance for executing specialized projects

 

Saw Pipes division

 

The SAW pipes manufacturing unit and recently commissioned state-of-the-art coating plant of the company will ensure the company to tap the tremendous opportunities lies in pipes segment. There is huge requirement for supply of quality pipes for transportation of oil, gas, water and sewerages. Many companies including public sector companies are opting for, transportation of the Hydro Carbon through pipe lines as this is most cost effective. These create huge demand of pipes of various diameter and specifications. Considering the current and future prospectus of this business, the company has commissioned its state-of-the-art pipe manufacturing plant. The Company has obtained various certification including prestigious American Petroleum Institute (API) certifications for its manufacturing facilities, these will enable company to meet the qualification criteria of various prospective tenders.

The Company


Subject, the flagship company of the Pratibha Group is dedicated and committed to providing the society at large with quality infrastructure in its field of expertise which currently include design, engineering and execution/construction of complex and integrated water transmission and distribution projects, water treatment plants, elevated and underground reservoirs, mass housing projects, commercial complexes, pre-cast design and construction, road construction and real estate.


The company which started with pre-cast products in just over two decades, has created a technical niche for itself graduating into a multifunctional construction and infrastructure development company of repute with annual turn over of INR 8060 million. Their rapid and consistent growth over the years bear testimony to their focus on dedication, quality of production and services through continuously evolving technologies along with timely execution of projects which has won them accolades and repeated business from their clientele.


Origin and Growth

 

Pratibha Industries was established in 1982, by a dynamic young entrepreneur Mr. Ajit B. Kulkarni. The firm started its foray with manufacturing of SFRC manhole covers and frames, which were designed and introduced as a replacement to the conventional cast iron manholes cover and frames. Substantial saving on costs and elimination of theft vis-ŕ-vis the conventional cast iron product ensured huge acceptability with practically all government clients throughout the country. Success in launch of the initial product saw the then partnership firm graduate from strength to strength, by developing and marketing various other pre-cast products.

 

Till the early ninety’s the firm was focusing only on pre-cast products. In 1992, the firm decided to extend its presence in the civil construction industry and started participating in bids invited for such projects by Government / Semi- government Departments. In-depth technical knowledge and sound management ethics ensured that the company received its first major mass-housing project [INR125.00 million] from CIDCO of Maharashtra Limited in the same year. Being the first project and an opening towards various similar projects, the firm completed the work successfully in seven months against the scheduled completion period of nine months. Timely implementation of this project provided the company opportunities and subsequent orders from IRWO (Indian Railway Welfare Organization), AWHO (Army Welfare Housing Organization) and reputed clients.

 

In 1994, the Company realized that water supply projects hold great potential. However, it did not possess any established expertise in execution of such projects. Inorganic route through formation of Joint Venture with a competent fellow contractor was the only way out and therefore, the first strategic alliance with Coromandal Prescrete (Private) Limited, a Hyderabad based Contractor was inked. The Joint Venture successfully bid and was awarded one package from the prestigious Hitawne Water Supply Scheme. Thus, started the journey of Pratibha in water supply projects, a segment from which the Company derives more than 70% of its revenues.

 

While the company was bidding for the various small schemes in the water supply segment, a fact dawned that without established source of the major input [steel pipes], it was not possible to hold a competitive edge over its competitors. This insight saw the birth of the mechanical division of the Group. The Company took over Teknoworks (India), a Mumbai based firm engaged in manufacture of mechanical equipments and structures, in 1995. Takeover of this firm provided the mechanical expertise which Pratibha was looking for to equip itself with the much sought competitive edge.

 

Since, the firm Teknoworks (India) was situated in proper Mumbai; there were restrictions as regards the open space and expansion. Further, it was not entitled to any backward area benefits. It was then in 1996, that Pratibha Pipes and Structural (Private) Limited [PPSPL] was incorporated. Initially, the new group company was set-up as a backward integration to support the growing pipe and allied requirements of Subject. Today, ten years later, the industry recognizes PPSPL as one of the better established players in the field of SAW pipe manufacturing and design / construction of specialized custom built structures, apart from manufacture of heavy walled thickness pipes. The Company derives 30% of its revenues from exports.

 

Till 2001, the operations of subject were restricted to the State of Maharashtra alone. The next challenge for Pratibha was to consolidate and strengthen its engineering department to make its presence felt in more complex and integrated Water Supply projects, as also to form alliances with fellow contractors of repute to ensure fulfillment of this goal. The Company started working towards this by establishing a design department and bidding for projects of complex nature, which also involved designing, in Joint Venture with reputed contractors like Petron Civil Engineering (Private) Limited and Unity Infra-projects Limited. The efforts bore fruits in 2003, when the company was awarded multi-million projects by Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board, and Delhi Jal Board, along with other Governmental Agencies. It was during this period that the company also expanded the segments of operation by entering and receiving work orders for intra-city road projects. Though, it saw opportunity in NHAI, it consciously decided to abstain from bidding in view of the heavy capital intensive nature of these projects. It maintained its presence in mass-housing and allied construction activities by building modern age railway stations, plant buildings and residential complexes on pure contractual basis.

 

By 2005, the company had established an inherent expertise in design, construction, operation and maintenance of reasonably sized complex water supply projects, water treatment plants and distribution systems, as also in the other segments in which it was operating. It was realized that there was shift in the government mindset and certain other project implementing agencies and there was determined focus to promote projects on PPP [Public Private Partnership] basis. Though the company was executing mid sized projects on annuity and deferred payment models, the then net-worth and accessibility to debt funds was limited and could prove to be detrimental to the Company’s future growth. There were two paths available – either to maintain the then existing status and subsequently to act as a sub-contractor to bigger contractors or to strengthen its financial position in quest for a place amongst the top construction companies. The Management of the company opted for the latter. It was decided to approach the capital market to raise requisite funds through dilution of 30% of the company’s existing equity base. The Company’s maiden issue hit the market in the first quarter of 2006 and received overwhelming response and was subscribed by over 24 times. The funds raised from the IPO were to be deployed for long term working capital requirements, equity funding for BOOT / PPP projects and setting up of an API accredited spiral pipe manufacturing plant. The Company’s initial and established success in the water segment, due to the availability of proper back up, strengthened the belief that back up of an API accredited pipe manufacturing unit would add as a fillip to its future plans of foray into the lucrative oil and gas pipe transmission EPC projects.

 

In 2007 and 2008 Pratibha Industries strengthened their Buildings Division and bagged many unique and the best Buildings in India. Building Divison has been working with the top most clients and the most renowned Architects and Consultants. Today Pratibha Group has specialised themselves with methodology and the concept of Tall buildings. As on date Pratibha Industries are constructing more than 6 skyscrapers in Mumbai and one of them being the tallest Structural steel commercial building in India with a height more than 195 Mts.

 

In 2009 the company has set up its PPP Division (Public Private Partnership). “The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Project would be a project based on contract or concession agreement between a Government or statutory entity on the one side and a private sector company on the other side, for delivering an infrastructure service on payment of user charges.”

 

The company over the next few years [2010-2011] on standalone basis or through Joint Ventures, strategic alliances and acquisitions [if a suitable opportunity arises] proposes to have strong presence in road, retail, urban, oil and gas transmission and power segments of the infrastructure sector, apart from water supply segment. It also proposes to be global player in pipe segment and market spill over capacities after accounting for in-house consumption. The said projects will be executed on both, EPC and PPP basis.
