Our vision is to be a world-class construction and infrastructure enterprise committed to quality, timely completion<br />
of projects, customer satisfaction, continuous learning and enhancement of stakeholders‘ value. Some of our key<br />
business strategies include:<br />
Capture high growth opportunities throughout India: We intend to target specific sectors and geographical<br />
areas where we believe there is high growth potential. We also intend to exploit our competitive advantages<br />
in these high-value businesses, and will continue to evaluate and explore the opportunities in the roads,<br />
transportation and power sectors. In particular, we believe that the road and transportation sectors will<br />
provide significant opportunities, which may come as BOT projects that we undertake with third parties as<br />
an EPC contractor or with our subsidiary, GIPL. We also expect the power sector to experience robust<br />
growth, and we are positioning ourselves to capture these opportunities by leveraging our experience and<br />
project execution capabilities in the construction of thermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants. We<br />
intend to form joint ventures for a number of power projects as well as bid for the ancillary construction<br />
work associated with these projects.<br />
Enhance our EPC capabilities: Quality of work and timely completion of projects are critical to our EPC<br />
and construction business. As a result, we aim to:<br />
- consistently deliver a quality product, meeting all relevant specifications and requirements;<br />
- achieve customer satisfaction through cost effective and timely completion;<br />
- motivate and train our staff for continual improvement of productivity and quality standards; and<br />
- update and implement our procedures in line with developments in international standards.<br />
Position ourselves as a one stop energy shop: The power segment in India has witnessed and is expected to<br />
have a robust growth with projected demand for new projects of 100,000 MW during the period 2008-2013.<br />
(Source: Ministry of Power) There is an increasing trend for the utility power project owners to engage<br />
companies which can provide solutions from concept to commissioning. In light of the above, we intend to<br />
position ourselves as a ―one-stop energy shop‖, providing consulting, design, EPC, O&M, manufacturing<br />
and other related services for nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric and non-conventional power projects. As a<br />
result of the amalgamation of ATSL to our Company, we have scaled up our power transmission and<br />
distribution business. We believe that our acquisitions will produce substantial synergistic benefits,<br />
including a centralized command structure, economies of scale, diversity of operations and better visibility<br />
as an integrated construction company. We intend to utilize these synergies and expand our products and<br />
services offering in India, and we also plan to exploit these advantages by participating in large-scale<br />
projects to optimize the allocation of resources and improve profitability. We have been pre-qualified to<br />
supply boilers and turbines to various Indian companies, such as NHPC Limited, National Thermal Power<br />
Corporation and North Eastern Electric Power Corporation. We believe we are ideally positioned to<br />
capitalize on the strengths of the different businesses in which our subsidiaries and joint ventures are<br />
engaged.<br />
Increase our international presence: We intend to strengthen our international operations by exploring<br />
business opportunities for developing projects outside India. We have acquired substantial stakes in two<br />
Italian companies, Sofinter and FTM. Although Sofinter, FTM and SAE Powerlines made losses of €41.69<br />
million, €17.66 million and €2.77 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2008, various<br />
improvements have been carried out in areas such as the product and market mix, the supply chain<br />
management process and costs control. We also aim to bring cost-competitiveness to our Italian subsidiaries<br />
and joint ventures through sharing resources or using low-cost manufacturing facilities in India.<br />
Furthermore, to meet the anticipated growth in demand in energy we have ventured into drilling and<br />
exploration, through a participating interest of 61.00% in a marginal field in Ecuador in joint venture with<br />
Joshi Technologies International Inc. and a participating interest of 50.00% in an exploration program in<br />
Nebraska, U.S. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand into new geographical and business<br />
areas whether by means of organic growth or through strategic acquisitions.<br />
