INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK AND BUSINESS PLAN

 

The infrastructure development story in India over the last year been affected by the issues of implementation. As  result, the pace of growth has simply been much slower than anticipated and there has been a considerable slowdown in development in the infrastructure sector.

 

Clearly, there is sufficient latent demand for large scale infrastructure development across different sectors ranging from power to transportation to urban infrastructure.

 

The Planning Commission’s Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-2012) had already identified that inadequate infrastructure was a major constraint on the country’s rapid growth. The Plan had, therefore, emphasized the need for massive expansion in investment in infrastructure.

 

Considering the critical need of developing infrastructure in the country, construction activities are crucial for creating physical infrastructure in the country. Construction, on an average, accounts for more than half of the investment required for setting up critical infrastructure facilities like power projects, ports, railways, roads, bridges.

 

The cumulative investment in infrastructure in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) is targeted at around $1 trillion. Nearly half of this investment will be channelized into construction projects. Therefore, there is considerable long term business scope for players like us in the infrastructure related large scale construction business. Being one of the leading EPC Player, the Company is always geared to make the most of this opportunity.

 

In addition to the Infrastructure Sector, the Country is poised for substantial industrial growth in the sectors where The Company operates as an EPC Contractor viz; Hydrocarbon, Minerals and Metals and Pipelines. The Company expects to secure significant contracts in these sectors by leveraging its credentials and execution capability built on in house projects of similar nature and size.

 

The current Order Book further gives sufficient confidence for the growth of revenue in the years to come. With a growing projects portfolio in India, the Company is aggressively venturing into EPC Sectors in various emerging markets across the globe in the selected target sectors particularly in South East Asia, Middle East and South African Countries. In each of The target sectors, market opportunities are being identified and the same are being mapped against The capabilities.

 

The Company has been investing substantially in Marketing & PR efforts to convince key 3rdParty Clients of the track-record and execution experience of creating certain world class assets/projects not only for Essar Group but also for external clients.

The Company has been awarded for one of India’s Most Admired Companies by Construction World (CW) Magazine at an awards function held in New York on September 16, 2011.

 

The Directors are happy to inform you that the Company was chosen based on its track record of impressive growth over the last 5 years, which has seen its revenues increase eight-fold, and PAT (profit after tax) increase eighteen-fold in the year 2005-11.

The QCI-DL Shah Award recognizes successful project (case study) of an organization that have linked quality initiatives to real term financial gains and competitiveness.
