WEAKNESS

  • The company relies heavily on Oil & gas business for its revenues.
  • The company is reliant on its contracts with limited businesses.

OPPORTUNITIES:

  • Utilising economies of scale to expand into adjacent industries and segments could prove to be lucrative in the near future.
  • Fostering relationships with current clients could lead to upselling the company’s services, increasing the average order value.
  • Capturing markets in newer geographies can be profitable and provide a hedge to the company’s domestic operations.

THREATS:

  • At present, Oil &Gas segment contributes to a major chunk of the company’s revenues. Any disruption in this segment could adversely affect the company’s profitability.
  • This is a sector that faces its share of government regulation. A change in certain government policies could disturb its operations.

STRATEGIES GOING FORWARD:

CONTINUED FOCUS ON THE PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS FOR OIL AND GAS COMPANIES AND UNDERTAKE BIGGER PROJECT

As per CARE Advisory Report, the pipeline network in India is expected to expand to around 34,000 Kms over the medium to long term, putting in place most of the 100 national gas grid that would connect all major demand and supply centres in the country and this pipeline infrastructure is expected to entail a capex of around Rs46,000 crores. Corrtech intends to capitalize on this opportunity by leveraging its customer relationships, project expertise, fleet of equipment and trained manpower.

The company’s understanding of diverse geographic terrains and experience across complex projects will help them maintain and strengthen its market position. A key element of Corrtech International growth strategy is to seek to improve the performance and competitiveness of its existing activities. Its focus has been on increasing the scale and complexity of its projects in recent years and continue to focus on projects with higher contract values. The company believes that as complexity and size of underlying projects increase, the customers would prefer service providers like them who has an established track-record in the sector.

The company intends to invest in latest equipment and technology to support its expanding operations and intend to use part of net proceeds from the IPO towards augmenting its equipment base. Corrtech International subsidiary CEL is interested in the EPC space in the refinery and petrochemical sectors where it has recently completed a contract in a petrochemical complex. CEL is presently executing an EPC project in Kochi for one of the large companies in the oil and gas sector and has recently been awarded an EPC project by one of the large companies in the oil and gas sector for the Barauni refinery.

ENTERING INTO THE WATER PIPELINE BUSINESS SECTOR WITH FOCUS ON MICRO-TUNNELLING

Corrtech International expects infrastructure development to be a major driver for growth of the Indian industry in the foreseeable future due to ever increasing levels of the GoI’s focus and investment in infrastructure in India. The company has gained expertise in the pipeline construction for the O&G services business with more than 20 years of experience in pipeline laying. It also intends to diversify and bid for projects in the water pipeline sector. Expanding into new functional areas will help them consolidate its position in the infrastructure sector and effectively leverage our experience in executing EPC projects.

This will also help them gain experience in such sectors and be well positioned to strategically expand in these sectors in future. It has the requisite resources, teams and experience of laying pipelines beneath rivers, canals, using HDD techniques for its ongoing and completed projects in O&G services business. It intends to capitalize on its existing capabilities and venture into water and sewage projects throughout the country.

Corrtech also intends to utilise its experience in HDD to venture into micro-tunnelling. Micro-tunnelling is an underground construction technique for constructing utility tunnels of smaller diameter. It is similar to tunnel boring but with reduced diameter. The method is useful for laying pipelines beneath highways, railroads and other sensitive areas with minimum disruption to the surface, thereby minimizing the impact on landscape and environment. According to CARE Advisory Report, the growth of this construction technique has picked up due to robust pipeline projects in sectors such as railways, hydropower, roads and highways, water supply and sewage.

CAPITALISING ON ITS EXPERTISE TO GROW IN THE DEFENCE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

Corrtech, through its subsidiaries CEL and CPOG cater to diverse industry segments including energy, defence and general manufacturing wherein It supply components and services. For instance, it has undertaken manufacturing of some components for use in defence planes for one of the leading aeronautics company and certain other projects for defence companies in the private sector.

According to CARE Advisory Report, for promotion of indigenous design and to focus on self-reliance in defence manufacturing, GoI has implemented various policies under “Make in India” initiative, and we intend to increase the quantum of production of components for the aerospace and defence sector. CEL intends to further expand its business through a combination of:

  • capitalizing the business to meet its working capital needs and a part of the net proceeds from the IPO are intended to be invested into CEL for this purpose expand its equipment base which will help in maintaining/ expanding its competitiveness and help attract the global OEMs and Tier 1 Indian companies, for whom It can manufacture complex parts and supply in bulk
  • seek global certifications like Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) which will help them in expanding its aerospace business
