Comments :

Subject is an established company incorporated in the year 1926. It has a long track record in the construction industry.

 

For the financial year 2017, the company has maintained its average profit margin of 1.42% during the year.

 

Rating takes into consideration the moderate financial profile marked by delays in debt servicing by the company.

 

Rating constrained on account of huge sizeable debt repayments have affected the liquidity profile of the company leading to continued delays in servicing of debt obligations by the company.

 

The liquidity position of the company is constrained owing to stretched recoveries from customers, pending receipt of claim amounts from customers, high finance cost and limited profits earned by the company thereby leading to stress on the debt service indicators and weak capital structure.

 

As per investigation and from external sources we are able to find that, the operational efficiency of the company is improving on account of increase in income from operations backed by faster order execution, which was earlier slow due to non-availability of adequate finance.

 

Business is active. Payments are reported to be slow.

 

In view of the aforesaid, the company can be considered for business dealings on safe and secure trade terms and conditions.

NOTES:

1.     Pursuant to the approval of the shareholders at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting held on 5 January 2017, the allotment committee of the Board of Directors at its meetings held on 6 January 2017 and 19 January 2017 allotted collectively to the lenders 231,544,729 equity shares of face value of INR 1 each at a premium of INR 33.92 per share aggregating INR 8085.500 million and 14,414,874 optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) of face value of INR 1,000 each at par (carrying coupon rate of 0.01% p.a.) aggregating INR 1,4414.900 million. Further, pursuant to the approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 6 July 2017, the allotment committee of the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 17 July 2017 allotted to a lender 4,759,291 equity shares of face value of INR 1 each at a premium of INR 40.61 per share aggregating INR 198.000 million and 256,716 OCDs of face value of INR 1,000 each at par (carrying coupon rate of 0.01% p.a.) aggregating INR 256.700 million on preferential basis as part of the S4A Scheme. The implementation of the S4A Scheme and the consequent allotment of equity shares/ OCDs have been made in respect of all the lenders except for few lenders who will be allotted equity shares and OCDs once they exercise their option. Number of equity shares/OCDs to be alloted will be determined based on the share price prevailing at the time of such allotment. 

 

2.     The Company has received letters from its customers conveying release of 75% of the arbitral award amount resulting in a payout aggregating INR 1,9300.000 million (31 March 2017: INR 1,8820.000 million), of which the Company has realised INR 1,0966.000 million till date (including INR 3006.000 million realised during the quarter ended 30 September 2017). The balance amount is presently pending on account of completion of certain formalities by the Company. The Company is pursuing with customers for issuance of similar payout letters for an amount of ` 9010.000 million. As at 30 September 2017, the Company's receivables include INR 2,4918.000 million (31 March 2017: INR 2,9483.200 million) [net of advances of INR 1,4175.800 million (31 March 2017: INR 4439.600 million)] on account of arbitration awards received in favour of the Company.

 

3.     The Company is engaged in a single business segment viz. "Engineering and Construction", which is substantially seasonal in character. Further, the Company's margins in the quarterly results vary based on the accrual of cost and recognition of income in different quarters due to nature of its business, receipt of awards/ claims or events which lead to revision in cost to completion. Due to this reason, quarterly results may vary in different quarters and may not be indicative of annual results.

 

4.     The total balance value of work on hand as at 30 September 2017 is INR 21,26900.000 million (31 March 2017: INR 20,39000.000 million)

 

a)     The Company, as at 30 September 2017, has (i) a non-current investment amounting to INR 6124.000 million (31 March 2017: INR 6124.000 million), non-current loans amounting to INR 4152.800 million (31 March 2017: INR 3808.600 million), other non-current financial assets amounting to INR 121.500 million (31 March 2017: INR 217.200 million) in its subsidiary HCC Real Estate Limited (HREL) which is holding 68.70% share in Lavasa Corporation Limited (LCL) a step down subsidiary; and (ii) a non-current investment amounting to INR 184.300 million (31 March 2017: INR 184.300 million), non-current loans amounting to INR 1525.600 million (31 March 2017: INR 1315.600 million), other non-current financial assets amounting to INR 95.600 million (31 March 2017: INR 164.500 million) and other current financial assets amounting to INR 49.400 million (31 March 2017: INR 47.700 million) in LCL. While such entities have incurred losses during their initial years and consolidated net-worth of both entities as at 31 March 2017 has been fully eroded, the underlying projects in such entities are in the early stages of development and are expected to achieve adequate profitability on substantial completion and/ or have current market values of certain properties which are in excess of the carrying values. The net-worth of these subsidiaries does not represent their true market value as the value of the underlying investments/ assets, based on valuation report of an independent valuer, is substantially higher. Therefore, based on certain estimates like future business plans, growth prospects and other factors, the management believes that the realizable amount of these subsidiaries is substantially higher than the carrying value of the non-current investments, non-current loans, other non-current financial assets and other current financial assets due to which these are considered as good and recoverable.

 

b)    In the Joint Lenders Forum ("JLF") meeting of the lenders of LCL held on 20 September 2017, the lenders have decided to invoke the Strategic Debt Restructuring in LCL and its wholly owned subsidiaries – Warasgaon Assets Maintenance Limited and Warasgaon Power Supply Limited with a reference date of 20 September 2017. Lenders of LCL are in the process of completing the necessary formalities within the timelines specified by the Reserve Bank of India. 

 

c)     In response to the JLF's request to bolster the promoter's (i.e. Hindustan Construction Company Ltd. or 'the Company') equity commitment in LCL through the conversion of loans and receivables into equity, the Company has decided to convert its loans and receivables of ` 167.06 million into equity at an issue price of ` 10 per share. 

 

5.     'Unbilled work-in-progress (Other current financial assets)’, ‘Non-current trade receivables’ and 'Current trade receivables' include INR 9779.500 million (31 March 2017: INR 9118.000 million), INR 1233.900 million (31 March 2017: INR 1233.900 million) and INR 207.37 million (31 March 2017: INR 903.000 million), respectively, outstanding as at 30 September 2017 which represent various claims raised earlier, based on the terms and conditions implicit in the contracts and other receivables in respect of closed/suspended projects. These claims are mainly in respect of cost over-run arising due to client caused delays, suspension of projects, deviation in design and change in scope of work; for which Company is at various stages of negotiation/discussion with the clients or under arbitration. Non-current trade receivables also include arbitration awards received in favour of the Company, which have been subsequently set aside by District Court/ High Courts against which the Company has preferred appeals at High Courts/ Supreme Court and has been legally advised that it has good case on merits. Considering the contractual tenability, progress of negotiation/ discussion with the client, the management is confident of recovery of these receivables. 

 

6.     The Company, as at 30 September 2017, has a non-current investment amounting to INR 2.24 million (31 March 2017: INR 2.24 million), non-current loans amounting to INR 1,260.26 million (31 March 2017: INR 1,124.36 million), other non-current financial assets amounting to INR 79.24 million (31 March 2017: INR 141.14 million) and other current financial assets amounting to INR 0.40 million (31 March 2017: INR 2.47 million) in its subsidiary HCC Infrastructure Company Limited (HIL) which is holding 85.45% in HCC Concessions Limited (HCL) having various Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) SPVs under its fold. While HCL has incurred losses during its initial years and consolidated net-worth as at 31 March 2017 has been fully eroded, the underlying projects are expected to achieve adequate profitability on substantial completion. The net-worth of this subsidiary does not represent its true market value as the value of the underlying investments/ assets, based on valuation report of an independent valuer, is higher. Therefore, based on certain estimates like future business plans, growth prospects and other factors, the management believes that the realizable amount of the subsidiary is higher than the carrying value of the non-current investments, non-current loans, other non-current financial assets and other current financial assets due to which these are considered as good and recoverable. 

 

7.     For the year ended 31 March 2014, the Company’s request for managerial remuneration in excess of the limit prescribed and held in trust, to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs ('the Ministry'), to reconsider their approval of INR 19.200 million against the entire remuneration paid of INR 106.600 million is pending with the Ministry. In respect of years ended 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016, the Company’s application to the Ministry for approval of remuneration paid/payable for each year INR 106.600 million to the Chairman and Managing Director in excess of the limit prescribed, held in trust to the extent paid, is pending with the Ministry. 

 

8.     The Non-Convertible Debentures issued by the Company in an earlier year have been relisted on the Bombay Stock Exchange on 7 July 2017. 

 

9.     Exceptional items for the year ended 31 March 2017 represent write off of trade receivables amounting to INR 359.700 million and gain on restructuring of debts amounting to INR 147.500 million. 

 

10.  This statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind AS) prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 3 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) (Ammendment) Rules, 2016. The Audit Committee has reviewed these results and the Board of Directors have approved the above results at their respective meetings held on 2 November 2017. The statutory auditors of the Company have carried out a limited review of the aforesaid results.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACROECONOMIC REVIEW

 

In a backdrop of global uncertainty and slowing economic growth, India was a bright spot in 2016-2017 with robust macroeconomic fundamentals.

 

The year was marked by two major domestic policy developments: passage of the Constitutional amendment which paved way for implementing the transformational Goods and Services Tax (GST), and the action to demonetise the INR 500 and INR 1,000 bank notes in the country

 

The GST will create a common Indian market, improve tax compliance and governance, and boost investment and growth. It is also a bold new experiment in the governance of India’s cooperative federalism. The bill to implement GST has been passed in the Parliament and the country is poised to move to a GST regime from the second quarter of 2017-2018

 

Demonetisation had short-term costs. Contemporary evidence tended to suggest significant disruption for the first six to eight weeks due to unprecedented cash constraints throughout the economy. However, the national income data published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO) does not suggest any significant reduction in growth in the third quarter of 2016-2017, which coincided with demonetisation. The third quarter tends to be muted. In 2015-2016, the growth rate of real gross value added (GVA) in Q2 was 8.4%; while in Q3 it was 7%, or a sequential drop of 1.4 percentage points. In 2016-2017, GVA growth in Q2 was 6.7%, and in Q3 it was 6.6%. Thus, despite the effects of demonetisation for much of Q3 financial year 2017, the negative effect — as reported by the CSO — has been only 10 basis points. What the data so far suggests is that the demonetisation effect was more moderate than what the critics claimed it would be. And it looks as if its effects have been transitory

 

Although growth in 2016-2017 is expected to be less than what it was a year earlier, it needs to be stated that 6.7% GVA will be the highest among developed and large emerging markets of the world.

 

Unless there are some serious unforeseen crises, India is now well placed to clock 7.3% to 7.5% growth in 2017-2018. Moreover, reforms such as overhauling the bankruptcy laws and giving banks more teeth to deal with their non-performing assets (NPAs), sustained increase in public infrastructure spending and continuing tight supervision of monetary policy suggests that India is again well placed for a period of sustained growth in excess of 7% per annum

 

Other major macroeconomic parameters like inflation, fiscal deficit and current account balance have also exhibited distinct signs of improvement in 2016-2017. Inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which averaged 4.9% during April-December 2016, has displayed a downward trend since July, 2016 when it became apparent that the kharif agricultural production would be bountiful and reached 3.65% by February 2017. Core inflation has also been quite stable, hovering around 4.5% to 5% for most of 2016-2017.

 

There was also some improvement in Government’s fiscal condition. Revised estimates suggest that with gross tax revenues increasing from 10.6% in 2015-2016 to 11.3% in 2016-2017, the fiscal deficit has reduced from 3.9% of GDP in 2015-2016 to 3.5% in 2016-2017.

 

On the external economic front, the trade deficit declined by 23.5% in April-December 2016 over the corresponding period of 2015-2016. This was driven by a contraction in imports, which was far steeper than the fall in exports. Thereafter, during October to December, both exports and imports started a long-awaited recovery, growing at an average rate of more than 5%

 

In 2016-2017, therefore, not only has India established itself as the world’s fastest growing major economy, underpinned by a stable macro-economy with declining inflation and improving fiscal and external balances, but it has also emerged as one of the few economies enacting major structural reforms that have strong longer term implications.

 

The infrastructure sector is at the heart of growth of India. Estimates suggest that the country needs close to INR  31,000 billion (US$455 billion) to be spent on infrastructure development over the next five years, with 70% of funds needed for power, roads and urban infrastructure segments. Despite this need, India’s rank on infrastructure development in the Global Competitive Index was at 68 in 2016-2017 — an improvement of only 19 places compared to 2014-2015. Notwithstanding an enormous demand for physical infrastructure, the sector is facing significant challenges, as the developers, the financial community and the government grapple with stalled projects, non-performing loans and widening gap between performance and targets

 

Consequently, India’s construction growth in GDP terms has tapered off substantially since 2011-12. Chart C shows that after an impressive 10.8% growth in 2011-12, the sector has seen much lower activity since and grew by only 3.1% in 2016-2017. The worrying factor is that growth in overall Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) has also reduced significantly from 6.1% in 2015-2016 to 0.6% in 2016-2017.

 

The slowdown in construction activities has adversely affected Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies across India. Several unforeseen issues impacted projects at various stages of their lifecycle from planning to operations, which have made several of them unviable. The sector is plagued with significant cost overruns, regulatory bottlenecks and aggressive bidding positions taken by a few market players resulting in financial losses. Another important element is the massive build-up of claims that are receivable from various government entities. These are on account of several factors, such as change of scope of work (quantity variation or extra items), idling of resources like manpower and overheads, compensation beyond the original stipulated contract period, change in statute and loss of opportunity. The entire claims resolution mechanism has been substantially delayed and, consequently, blocked up large amounts of cash severely affecting liquidity across the value chain.

 

The Government of India has two very different challenges. First, it has to deal with and resolve several of these legacy issues that plague the infrastructure and construction sector. Second, it has to provide a new round of growth impetus to the sector. On both these fronts, the government has made some headway in 2016-2017. However, these are initial steps and much of the developments on the ground are expected in the next few year.

 

In an important development, the central government has finally managed to break the choke-hold of stalled projects, by giving faster clearances and closely monitoring these at the highest levels. According to data released by the Centre for Monitoring of the Indian Economy, only 24 projects that were under some stage of implementation were stalled during the quarter ended March, 2017. This is the lowest number of stalled projects under implementation in any quarter since December 2008. Investment in such stalled projects has reduced from INR 920000.000 million in the quarter ended March, 2016 to INR 257000.000 million in the quarter ended March, 2017. According to this data, projects worth only INR 4,400 million were abandoned during the March, 2017 quarter. This was the lowest number of abandoned projects in a given quarter over the past eight years. Their total value is just a tenth of the average value of abandoned witnessed over the past eight years.

 

In the present business environment, owing to the existing high levels of debt, the construction companies are left with limited opportunity to raise further capital to fuel growth. To revive the construction sector, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved a series of initiatives, which are expected to help in improving liquidity in the short run and reform the contracting regime in the long run. These include:

 

·         PSUs/departments may seek the consent of the contractors/ concessionaires to transfer the arbitration cases initiated under the pre-amended Arbitration Act to the amended Arbitration Act, wherever possible.

 

·         In case of claims where the PSU/departments has challenged the Arbitration Award, 75% of the award amount may be paid by the PSU to the contractor/ concessionaire against margin-free bank guarantee.

 

·         All PSUs/departments issuing public contracts may consider setting up Conciliation Committees/Councils comprising independent subject experts in order to ensure speedy disposal of pending or new cases.

 

·         Item-rate contracts, may be substituted by EPC (turnkey) contracts, and PSUs/ Departments may adopt the model EPC contracts for construction works.

 

·         Department of Financial Services, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), is formulating a one-time package for the construction sector which is expected to be announced shortly

 

These initiatives are expected to infuse appropriate liquidity into the construction sector and other infrastructure projects, which have been stranded and support the entire process of dispute resolution in relation to construction and real estate.

 

The RBI, too, has stepped in to regulate the unsustainable levels of debt. The new Bankruptcy code and the SDR/ S4A guidelines from the RBI are expected to revitalize several key projects. New financial options and sources are now available for infrastructure projects, and the RBI has also taken various steps to facilitate more investment in the sector, through new investment structures as well as through changes in the existing project lending and external commercial borrowing (ECB) guidelines.

 

While dealing with legacy issues, the central government has also laid emphasis on pushing a new round of infrastructure development. This includes a slew of measures related to award of contracts, regulatory approvals, funding and exit mechanism for developers.

 

As a result, the infrastructure sector has been showing incipient signs of recovery, which is likely to further acquire momentum in the medium term with the positive proposals in the Union Budget 2017-2018. Total outlay for the sector is up by 10% to INR 3,96,1350.000 million in 2017-2018 over 2016-2017, with roads, bridges and railways seeing higher allocations of 7%-8% each.

 

 

HCC: STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

 

In this business environment, HCC adopted a two-pronged strategic approach. On the one hand, it looked inwards to create a more competitive and resilient enterprise with clear focus on developing processes, people and a strong performance driven organisation culture. On the other, it leveraged the best mix of revised policy and regulatory measures to streamline cash flows and create a suitable platform for continuing business operations efficiently and servicing market opportunities

 

On enhancing internal efficiencies, HCC has adopted a management ethos that focuses on achieving a clear set of objectives. The goals include:

 

·         Further enhancing efficiencies in operations across all lines of business including related group companies.

 

·         Addressing the cash flow situation in the core engineering and construction business and also charting a clear strategic and financial blueprint for key investments like Lavasa and HCC Infrastructure.

 

·         Translating strategic intent to on-ground commitment of delivering high quality products for all customers.

 

·         Growing the order book with a well distributed portfolio across various segments of the infrastructure industry.

 

·         Emphasising effective deployment of resources for greater productivity and cost optimization

 

By adopting these broad management goals, HCC expects to leverage the collective spirit of its people to chart the Company’s turnaround over the next few years. While the turnaround process will be necessarily gradual, it will also involve substantial structural changes, instead of relying only on incremental improvements. With a new executive leadership in place, the platform to embark on this journey was laid out in 2016-2017.

 

HCC continued with its efforts at securing new orders and maintain a healthy order book. However, pressures on working capital did affect execution. Consequently revenues remained flat in 2016-2017. Even so, considerable efforts have been made on increasing productivity and cost optimisation across projects at the sites. These have borne positive results, and are now engrained as a part of its continuous improvement mechanism.

 

In parallel to the efforts on strengthening its internal capabilities, HCC laid major emphasis on financially restructuring the Company and release as much cash as possible to sustain and grow operations

 

In 2012, the banks had sanctioned HCC a complete restructuring package under the aegis of the ‘Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR)’ scheme. However, the financial state of the Company remained under stress due to a further slowdown in the industry and the slow pace of dues recovery from customers. Recognising the need for a more definitive solution, the joint lender’s forum in its meeting held on July 12, 2016 passed to resolve the HCC account under the recent Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines of ‘Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets (S4A)’. In fact, HCC became the first company in India to adopt S4A.

 

This scheme allows a mix of reliefs like postponement of certain debt obligations by calling it unsustainable, a part of which is converted to equity. For HCC, the salient features of the S4A scheme are:

 

·         The entire funded exposure of INR 5,1070.000 million was divided into two debt classifications: sustainable debt of INR 2,6810.000 million and unsustainable debt of INR 2,4260.000 million.

 

·         A portion of the unsustainable debt was converted into equity share capital so as to allow lenders to jointly own around 23.6 % of the expanded share capital of the Company.

 

·         OCDs have a repayment period over 10 years and will carry a coupon of 0.01% p.a with yield to maturity of 11.5%    

 

HCC secured approval of the scheme from shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 5, 2017. Thereafter, the S4A scheme has been implemented which has substantially reduced interest outgo and repayment obligations. The scheme provides the Company much needed breathing space for its cash management.

 

In addition, as discussed in the section on the Indian construction industry, on September 5, 2016, the Cabinet Committee for Economic Affairs (CCEA) announced a slew of initiatives through the Niti Ayog to deal with claims of players in the construction industry vis-a-vis major government bodies and public sector undertakings. The key aspect of the measures for construction companies was the directive to release 75% of arbitration award amount against a margin free bank guarantee.

 

HCC has already secured favourable arbitration awards which will yield a cash inflow of INR 25990.000 million as 75% of the awarded amount. As on date, INR 3800.000 million were received of the above amount. Additionally, there will be further cash inflow once awards for pending claims are settled. The Company is aggressively working on completing formalities with both Clients and with Vendors towards sanction of bank guarantees and opening of escrow accounts, the end result being the payment of these much needed dues.

 

To summarise, 2016-2017 saw certain concrete steps being taken to provide interim cash flow relief, and free up the Company to pursue and promote its existing operations and turnaround the business. Subsequent sections provide some more insights into developments during 2016-2017 in HCC’s core engineering and construction (E&C) business and the strategic investments in infrastructure, real estate and overseas businesses.

 

HCC – OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

Engineering and Construction Division

 

The Company’s core business is providing Engineering and Construction (E&C) services for large projects across sectors like Power (Hydro, Nuclear, Thermal), Transportation (Roads, Bridges, Metros, Ports), Water (Irrigation and Water Supply) and Industrial projects.

 

While applying an element of caution with focus on optimising the preservation of cash, HCC continued to leverage its core strengths to push for new orders. This was essential for a company of HCC’s size, because it is only through a sizeable order backlog that it can be assured of the revenues and returns needed to service its debt while creating greater corporate value.

 

·         During 2016-2017, HCC secured INR 53750.000 million worth of new orders and the order backlog grew by 12.5% from INR 18,1230.000 million at the end of 2015-2016 to INR 20,3900.000 million by the end of 2016-2017.

 

·         As of March 31, 2017, HCC was also L1 in orders worth INR 2,8040.000 million, much of which will translate into new orders in the near future.

 

Infrastructure development in India during 2016-2017 centred on new projects primarily in the transportation sector including roads, railways and airports. There has also been increased activity in the power sector primarily in alternative energy and transmission. The other area where there has been increased activity is urban infrastructure. Chart D gives the sectoral distribution of HCC’s order backlog, which is in line with market dynamics that has a large emphasis on the transportation sector

 

PROJECTS UPDATE

 

Transportation

 

Transportation again dominated the order booking during 2016-2017. HCC secured three prestigious contracts. These were:

 

1. Mumbai Metro Line 3, Package 2, for design and construction of underground stations namely Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), Kalbadevi, Girgaon, Grant Road and Twin Tunnel by tunnel boring machines (TBM) of 4.06 km each between CST and Mumbai Central. This INR 2,5230.000 million contract will be executed as a joint venture with Mosmetrostroy of Russia. The project is to be completed in 54 months.

 

2. Construction of Tunnel T-13 on Katra Banihal section of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Line Project. The contract value is INR 1,7500.000 million with a duration of 30 months.

 

3. Cable stayed bridge across River Anji Khad between Tunnel T2 and T3 on Katra Banihal section of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway line Project. The contract period is 36 months.

 

Progress on projects under execution has also been good. Some of the notable achievements of projects in the transportation sector are:

 

·         The east bound arm of flyover of the Elevated Road Corridor from Park Circus to the EM Bypass at Kolkata was opened to traffic.

 

·         Trial run was successfully completed in underground Metro rail line from Janakpuri to Airport Terminal 1 at the Delhi MRTS Phase III.

 

·         Second drive of the TBM was completed at the contract package on Dwarka-Najafgarh section of the Delhi MRTS Phase III.

 

·         Foundation works were completed for the bridge over River Sone in Bihar and superstructure works are progressing at a brisk pace.

 

POWER

 

HYDRO POWER

 

New projects secured in the previous year in the Hydro Power sector have entered the resource mobilisation phase in 2016-2017. These will pick up speed in the next year. Preparations are on for tunnelling using TBMs at two of the projects.

 

The turnkey contract for Kishanganga Hydro Electric Power Project (HEP) is at an advanced stage. Despite the challenges due to political unrest in Kashmir, the critical activity of reservoir filling was completed on time. The project is slated in for completion in the next year.

 

Other projects such as the Punatsangchu HEP, the Tehri Pumped Storage Project and the Pare HEP have continued to make good progress.

 

NUCLEAR POWER

 

Work on Integrated Nuclear Recycle Plant for the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre at Tarapur near Mumbai has progressed well.

 

WATER SUPPLY AND IRRIGATION

 

The Company secured a INR 3750.000 million contract for the Bistan Lift Irrigation Scheme for Narmada Valley Development Authority in Madhya Pradesh. The project will be executed in joint venture with Laxmi Civil Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd.

 

Work progress on Package 10 of Pranahita Chevella Lift Irrigation Scheme, (now renamed Kaleshwaram Project) has been commendable.

 

MARINE WORKS

 

Work on the reconstruction of Dry Dock and Wharves in Mumbai for Director General Naval Project continues to progress well. The project is targeted for completion next year.

 

 

BRANDING

 

The brand encapsulates the sum total of how an organisation is perceived across all stakeholders. There is a historical perspective to HCC’s brand identity, which is characterised by a rich legacy, years of invaluable experience, knowledge, and passion that drives every activity. Today, the brand is focused on enhancing its heritage with an emphasis on fostering innovation across all activities. Sustained efforts are made at HCC through brand inductions to orient and refresh project brand champions towards standardisation of brand practices that upholds a core set of the Company’s values.

 

Information on the Company’s accomplishments is key to enhancing brand image. At HCC, employees, clients and major stakeholders are regularly informed, engaged and oriented towards key organisational milestones and project completions and progress through the periodic in-house news magazine and e-newsletters.

 

The Company website is regularly updated sharing knowledge and enterprise information with different target audiences. HCC’s presence on the social media platform has been enhanced by adding Facebook to the existing Youtube channel. Two new animation films — developed on the Bogibeel Rail-cum-Road project and Munirka flyover project along with photographs and films — were uploaded on Facebook and have evoked good response. Over last 12 months, the HCC Facebook page has had over 2,800 followers, 53,400 likes and 33,700 video views purely on an organic basis.

 

All key Company events such as project commissioning, foundation stone laying ceremony, conferences and expos are treated with consistent branding, maintaining the image of a professional enterprise.

 

In 2016-2017, HCC achieved many important milestones including:

 

·         Commissioning and toll commencement of the Farakka Raiganj Highway (NH 34), which is a part of the HCC Concessions BOT portfolio.

 

·         Foundation stone laying of BARC Anushaktinagar project.

 

·         Foundation stone laying of Mumbai Metro III project.

 

·         Foundation stone laying of Nikachhu HEP project.

 

·         Daylighting of the tunnel between Dwarka and Najafgarh metro corridors under CC-66 package of Delhi Metro Phase III development.

 

·         Trial runs on the 10 km stretch in New Delhi between Janakpuri West and the IGI Airport

 

A structured communication programme highlighting these achievements has helped create necessary connect between HCC and the nation’s critical infrastructure projects — centred on the core philosophy of ‘Responsible Infrastructure’.

 

The Company’s participation in important business and industry events and expositions in India and abroad has provided excellent opportunities for higher visibility of HCC’s brand identity among relevant stakeholders.
