Our Order Book<br />

In the civil engineering and construction industry, the order book is considered as a potential future performance<br />

indicator since it represents a portion of anticipated revenues. We aim to focus not only on order book additions, but<br />

also on capturing a quality order book with potentially high margins. For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2007,<br />

2008 and 2009, our order backlog was Rs.56.68 billion, Rs.65.33 billion, Rs.90.01 billion and Rs.129.67 billion,<br />

respectively. During the same period, our book-to-bill ratio was 3.79, 3.54, 3.85 and 3.57, respectively.<br />

The following table sets forth the order book of our Company, Sofinter, FTM and SAE Powerlines as of September<br />

Our Competitive Strengths<br />

We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the growth opportunities in the Indian civil engineering,<br />

construction, infrastructure and power sectors because of the following strengths:<br />

Quality and strength of execution: We have a strong track record in the successful development and<br />

execution of EPC and infrastructure projects. In 2009, we received OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO<br />

14001:2004 from BM TRADA as recognition of our occupational health and safety management system<br />

and environmental management system in the construction of civil engineering structures and pipeline<br />

projects. Our strength in execution can also be evidenced by our timely completion of projects. Our access<br />

to financing sources, partners and industry expertise enables us to value new projects effectively, assess<br />

risks properly and compare evaluation results against our experience. We believe that our expertise in the<br />

successful and timely execution of projects provides us with a significant competitive advantage.<br />

Technical, engineering and in-house design capabilities: We have in-house design capabilities with staff<br />

possessing professional qualifications and experience in undertaking the design of all types of civil<br />

engineering structures. We also have the latest software in executing these designs. As on September 30,<br />

2009, we had a team of 74 skilled employees in our in-house design department. Over the years, we have<br />

introduced several advanced technologies to India, such as extra-dosed bridge, slipform technology for<br />

tapered chimney, thin shell structures, cantilever construction technology, hyperbolic cooling towers, multi-<br />
