INDUSTRY OPERATIONS, STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

As you are aware that the Company is carrying of business in the field of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for erection of power plant(s) and other infrastructure facilities. Meanwhile, your Company is generating revenue from its operation by providing Business Support Services to different Company(s), which are governed by the clauses already mentioned in the memorandum of association of your Company. Further, your Directors are pleased to inform you that the Company has implemented the EPC works of 1980 MW Super Critical Thermal Power Project at Lalitpur, Distt.-Jhansi, in the State of Uttar Pradesh and received encouraging response and is successfully executing Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services in power sector at Distt.-Lalitpur (Uttar Pradesh). Now your Company is having vast experience in EPC works in power sector and is highly optimistic to improve its order book substantially, by procuring further Contracts and Orders, in the forthcoming years.

The outlook is favourable for the current account and its financing. A likely surfeit, rather than scarcity, of foreign capital will complicate exchange rate management. Risks from a shift in US monetary policy and turmoil in the Eurozone need to be watched but could remain within control.

Reforms have been initiated in a number of areas and major ones are on the horizon. The macroeconomic response to the favourable terms of trade shock has led to an appropriately prudent mix of increased government savings and private consumption. The government has further decided to address 5 key areas: agricultural income under stress, increasing investment in infrastructure, decline in manufacturing, and resource crunch in view of higher devolution in taxes to states while maintaining fiscal discipline.

With a view to incentivize investment in infrastructure, the Budget announced by honourable Finance Minister, Mrs. Nirmala Sitaraman earlier in the year has proposed a number of welcome measures which would kick-start investment in infrastructure. The sector is expected to improve significantly due to these.

In an ever-changing world, quality of portfolio, profitability and liquidity continue to be the critical differentiators. In such an environment, proactive adaptability still holds the key to sustained financial performance. Your Company has now evolved to a continued focus on asset growth to cash growth.
