Subject one of India's fastest growing infrastructure organizations and listed by Dun and Bradstreet among 'India's Top 500 Companies 2010', is focused on achieving holistic regional development, unlocking economic prosperity and creating inclusive and sustainable growth models. Towards this end, the Company, by itself and through its subsidiaries, is undertaking the development and operation of infrastructure projects in the areas of marine infrastructure and urban and industrial infrastructure, thereby pioneering the development of economic growth centers. It owns and operates a 5.2 MMTPA port at Karaikal, Puducherry (currently being expanded to 21 MMTPA); and is also developing a 612 acre special economic zone (SEZ), as a part of MARG Swarnabhoomi - 'The Land of New Thinking' on the scenic East Coast Road between Chennai and Puducherry. MARG Foundation India, MARG’s EPC division provides integrated turnkey solutions by offering a plethora of services including integrated design, engineering, material procurement, field services and construction and project management services for infrastructure sector and real estate projects for its various subsidiaries as well as external customers. The Company also offers quality residential spaces, predominantly catering to the mid segment and affordable segment categories, and commercial spaces as well. In the residential segment about 4.1 million sq. ft. of space has been launched in parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh with another 1.4 million sq. ft. in the pipeline. MARG is also developing a multi-use commercial building, in the heart of Chennai's IT corridor, aggregating to 1.8 million square feet of total development comprising retail space (mall and multiplex), office space, hotel and service apartments.

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The Indian Economy has recovered from 2008-2009 crisis to a significant extent in 2010-11. The growth rate of GDP in 2010- 11, according to CSO (GoI), will be 8.5% (up from 7.4% in 2009-10) and is likely to be higher after factoring in the new index of industrial production series. While inflation and interest rates are causes for concern, the development of robust infrastructure is the key to achieving the 12th Five Year Plan's targeted 9.5% GDP growth.

 

BUSINESS VERTICALS OVERVIEW, BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

 

EPC VERTICAL

A longtime player in the EPC business, MARG has upgraded its presence in Infrastructure, Marine, Industrial and Real Estate and successfully evolved as an integrated EPC-cum-asset development company from a pure EPC model earlier. The EPC business continues to support revenue streams and contributes to its steady cash flows.

 

The EPC division of the company has registered strong growth over the last five years, largely driven by in-house orders. EPC's revenue in FY2010-11 stands at Rs.10040.000 Millions, representing an increase of 43% Y-o-Y. The volume of external orders has also grown rapidly and is soon set to match the internal orders in terms of revenue contribution. In FY 2010-11, about 47% of EPC business revenue is realized from external customers as opposed to 17% in FY2009-10. The current order book position is around Rs.33500.000 Millions and this provides strong earnings visibility for EPC Services. The EPC division seeks to leverage its experience in marine construction and other specialized areas to carve a differentiated niche for itself. Strategic alliances with several domestic and international players have been forged in this respect.

 

·         PYCSA S.L., a Spain based company, for jointly developing urban and rural infrastructure projects

·         LAGAN Construction (Ireland based) for collaboration to strengthen the development on constructions of Roads, Airports, Marine structures, Water and Sewage Treatment Plants

·         AECOM for master planning the Bijapur Airport

·         BEFESA, Tecpro Systems Limited, Jyoti Limited, MR Vision Pipeline, Yashika Enterprises, Abhav Ocean WJ construction in areas including water systems, material handling, submarine/onshore/offshore pipelines etc.

 

PORT

MARG Karaikal Port is owned and operated by Karaikal Port Private Limited (KPPL), a subsidiary of MARG. Despite being a capital intensive and complex project, the company has successfully stabilized and ramped up operations at the Karaikal port to nearcapacity levels (5.2 MMTPA). After commissioning in April 2009, cargo traffic at the Karaikal Port has grown at a fervent pace. In FY 2010-11, the Company handled a cumulative traffic of 4.75 MMT as against 1.57 MMT in FY 2009-10. During FY 2010-11 the port earned revenue of Rs.1700.000 Millions, which represents a 240% increase from the Rs.500.000 Millions revenue generated in FY 2009-10. EBITDA was at Rs.790.000 Millions (220% increase) and PAT at Rs.240.000 Millions (398% increase). It has achieved a record peak discharge rate of 55,912 MT of coal in 24 hrs (through conventional handling) in March 2011. The port has been awarded ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 14001: 2004 and OSHAS 18001: 2007 certifications. The credit rating of Karaikal Port Private Limited (KPPL) has been upgraded to 'Triple B' from 'Triple B minus” on account of the port's robust performance.

 

The port is currently undergoing a four-fold expansion in capacity from 5.2 MMTPA to 21 MMTPA. It is expected to capitalize on the existing/potential demand within the immediate hinterland and also within the extended hinterland area, given its modern infrastructure and efficient cargo handling facilities relative to competing ports. The Karaikal Port also provides significant cost advantages to the existing cement plants and power plants in the hinterland, thereby resulting in the diversion of traffic from the competing ports such as Chennai and Tuticorin to Karaikal. Several upcoming power plants in the vicinity of the port, some of which are already in advanced stages of development, are expected to create an annual demand for about 60 MT of coal. The Karaikal Port is placed advantageously to cater to this demand.

 

SEZ

MARG is developing two Special Economic Zones (catering to Engineering and Multi-Services industries) spread over 612 acre, as a part of MARG Swarnabhoomi - 'The Land of New Thinking, under its wholly-owned subsidiary-New Chennai Township Private Limited (NCTPL). MARG Swarnabhoomi is located on the scenic East Coast Road, midway between Chennai and Puducherry.

 

While regulatory pressures (levy of Minimum Alternate Tax on units in SEZs) and competitive threats exist, MARG

Swarnabhoomi has achieved significant success by way of its differentiated positioning as the “Land of New Thinking”- a city of education, research, innovation and industry. By providing a unique ecosystem with the requisite residential, business and knowledge infrastructure, MARG Swarnabhoomi has been able to attract several establishments.

 

On the education front, Swarnabhoomi Academy of Institutes (SAI) is already functioning inside the MARG Swarnabhoomi premises. Additionally, MARG Institute of Design and Architecture Swarnabhoomi (MIDAS) and MARG Navjyothi Vidyalaya (CBSE pattern day school) started functioning from this academic year. Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music (SAM), with internationally renowned guitarist/composer PRASANNA as its President, is also functional. The Company has signed an MoU with Virginia Tech, USA to set up a centre of higher education in the advanced engineering space within the SEZ (subject to the foreign universities bill being passed). Besides, nearly 7 acres of land have been earmarked for setting up Dhyaan Dhaam (an Art of Living centre). All of these initiatives serve to position MARG Swarnabhoomi as a one-of-a-kind holistic knowledge hub.

 

In the Engineering segment, while some clients have commenced operation and some have their facilities under construction, several others are in advanced stages of the pipeline. Grundfos and Vanspall have commenced their operations and have started shipping export orders. Virgo and Polyhose have started construction of factory premises and are expected to be operational in FY 11-12. Many other leading companies have evinced interest in the form of LOIs (Letters of Intent).

 

In the Multi-services zone, a Science Park facilitiy is being setup, in which construction of Phase-I of Wet Laboratory building is currently underway and it would be ready for occupation by March, 2012. Clients signed on include Strand Genomics, Incogene, Biozeen, Symphony, Micro Labs, Laxai Avanti and Biophenolika. Several other leaders in the biotechnology and life sciences space are in the pipeline. The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India has approved the Biotechnology Incubation Center (BTIC) that is being set up under association with ICRISAT. The Incubation Center shall be functional in Q3 2011-12.

 

In the residential segment, the launched projects have seen high levels of absorption and this is testimony to the strong demand from not just the immediate vicinity, but also the neighbouring cities of Chennai and Puducherry. Total of 607 (0.618 million sq ft) apartments were sold during FY11 taking the total sales since inception to 1.25 million sq ft.

 

MARG Swarnabhoomi's FY2010-11 revenue stood at Rs.1980.000 Millions; revenue increased by 32% Y-o-Y.

 

OUTLOOK

The Government plans to enhance investment proposals for roads, airports, ports, railways, metro rail and other infrastructure facilities in the country. This would augur well for the private sector by creating substantial opportunities for the infrastructure players which would in turn spiral demand for residential spaces, social infrastructure and associated services.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The company follows the percentage of completion accounting method for revenues and costs in proportionate to the percentage of work in completing a project. Therefore, the revenue and cost recognition of a project happens over a period of time of the given project.

 

The financial highlights are:

·         The income from operations increased from Rs.7450.000 Millions to Rs.10850.000 Millions, an increase of 45.56% in FY 2010-2011

·         Operational PBDIT has increased from Rs.1190.000 Millions in FY 2009- 10 to Rs.1280.000 Millions in FY 2010-11

·         The Debt Equity Ratio stood at 1.31:1 in FY 2010-11

·         PAT for 2010-11 was Rs.598.700 Millions on an expanded equity of 38,118,926 shares

·         Dividend outgo of Rs.2 per share subject to the approval of the shareholders in the ensuing AGM.

Chennai, August 22, 2012 – MARG Institute of Design and Architecture, Swarnabhoomi (MIDAS), an educational initiative to address the global need for high quality architects by MARG, one of the fastest growing infrastructure companies in the country, organized a orientation programme to welcome the second set of new batch students who enrolled themselves into MIDAS through the counseling process in Anna University.

 

The dignitaries attending the initiation program were Sandeep Mehta, President – CREDAI and MD, Jain Housing and Constructions Limited, Dr. Bala Balachandran, distinguished Professor of Accounting and Information Management at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and founder and dean, Great Lakes Institute of Management, Dr. Ashrafi S Bhagat , Art Historian , Suhasini Ayer, Principal Architect, Auroville Design Consultants ,GRK Reddy, Chairman and Managing Director, MARG Group , Rajini Reddy, MD, Exemplarr Worldwide Limited, and AP Ganesshram, CEO – MARG Swarnabhoomi and Education Services.

 

While Mr. Sandeep Mehta, President – CREDAI, expressed views on the “Future in Architecture” , Dr. Ashrafi. S. Bhagat, Art Historian enlightened the audience on “South Indian Architecture” and Suhasini Ayer, Principal Architect, Auroville Design Consultants on “Sustainable Architecture / Building Technology”, continuing the session Prof. Jaffer AA Khan, Director, MIDAS, welcomed the 2012 batch and introduced them with the teaching pedagogy of MIDAS.

 

Speaking on the occasion GRK Reddy, CMD, MARG Group, said, “It is indeed a pleasure to see a new set of budding architects as the next batch at MIDAS. While the good work done by the students of the first year has been noteworthy and they have carves a niche for themselves, it is up to the new batch to keep up the standards of their seniors. With infrastructure and real estate being a critical element of our economic development, the demand for good architects will only increase. MIDAS has come into existence for providing quality education and exposure so that students have a great chance to fill the need supply gap and become professionals to reckon with in the architecture industry.”

 

MIDAS organized this programme for the new batch of students to acclimatize them to the course curriculum as also to introduce the 2012 batch to the faculty. The new set of students will pursue 5 years Bachelor Degree Program in Architecture Studies (B. Arch - Architecture Studies). The program is offered in both day scholar and residential modes. All the approved seats are filled and students from all over the country have joined the second batch of MIDAS.

 

Reacting to a full batch of budding architects, an enthused Prof. Jaffer AA Khan, Director, MIDAS, said “I am extremely happy today to welcome the new set of students to our institution. Since its inception, the one year old MIDAS has already become a familiar name in the architecture industry. Though we have a long way to go, the recognition we have got in the first year is on par with any other leading architecture institutions in the Country. With leading international and national experts visiting our institution to share their practical knowledge with the students and our excellent industry oriented curriculum will ensure that the thirst of architectural knowledge by every individual student will be fulfilled with utmost care. With just a year of campus exposure at MIDAS, a best in class architecture exhibition in the city by 2011 batch students is a recent highlight that I am particularly proud of. I’m sure the new batch will work hand in hand with the faculty and their seniors to become seasoned professionals and architects. I wish them the very best.”

 

MIDAS, a part of 1000 acre eco-system at MARG Swarnabhoomi has an exclusive built up area of 43,000 sq. ft which houses a well equipped library, a futuristic studio, large spacious classrooms plus audio and video learning support. The campus also has a swimming pool, basket ball courts, multi-purpose sports ground, convenio store, 24 hours clinic and health care gymnasiums.

 

The curriculum at MIDAS is of International Standards and the Professors are from across the globe. This will enable every student to gain extensive knowledge with regard to international architectural standards and movements, right here in India.

 

AP Ganesshram, CEO – MARG Swarnabhoomi and Education Services, addressing the students in the orientation program, said “MIDAS is perhaps the only institution in the country which provides direct and on the field training to its students. With lot of real estate and infrastructure projects undertaken by the MARG Group itself, the students are given an opportunity to work with the professionals on the field to gain the practical experience and I am sure this “live lab learning” experience at MIDAS will give them cutting edge competency with rich dividends when they get a chance to showcase their prowess in the field of architecture.”

 

As a leading infrastructure developer, MARG recognizes the demand supply gap which exists between the exponential growth of infrastructure and the lack of good schools of architecture. The program is structured to facilitate students foray into specialized areas such as Retail Design, Lighting Design, Exhibition Design, Event and Set Design and Ergonomics. Designed to bring in the prevailing trends across the world, MIDAS is one of the few Schools in India to offer alternative career options to architecture students through integrated study.

 

MIDAS is part of MARG Swarnabhoomi, a 1000 acre campus for education, research, innovation and industry. MARG Swarnabhoomi is being built on the concept of replicable model for a new city, students of MIDAS will have live experience on the finer aspects of architecture and have a 360 degrees learning of complete urban planning which includes, roads, drainage system, sewage, residential buildings, factory spaces, commercial complexes and landscaping etc. MARG Swarnabhoomi is designed to bring in innovation through close networking between industry and academia. Through this synergy, students will have up to-date information on industry happenings, latest trends, networking with professionals etc.

 

The first year batch students at MIDAS recently organized a hugely successful 6 day exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi in Chennai ( July 2012) to showcase their year end work. World renowned architect Mr. Sanjay Mohe critically appraised the student works during his visit to the exhibition and applauded the student’s works.
