Our Strategy<br />

for our short-term commercial paper of Rs.4.00 billion. CARE has also assigned an ―AA‖ rating for our<br />

long-term bank facilities and a ―PR1+‖ rating for our short-term bank facilities, under BASEL II norms,<br />

aggregating Rs.37.00 billion. As the sectors that we operate in are highly capital-intensive, we believe<br />

that our ability to mobilize financial resources efficiently gives us a competitive advantage over our<br />

competitors.<br />

Substantial experience in infrastructure development: Our subsidiary, GIPL, is among the first<br />

companies in India incorporated exclusively to participate in infrastructure development through the<br />

PPP model. We believe that the PPP model is increasingly becoming the preferred model for<br />

construction and operation of highways, ports and other infrastructure services in India. The PPP model<br />

offers significant advantages in terms of attracting private capital in the creation of public infrastructure<br />

as well as in improving efficiencies in the provision of services to users. A PPP model also brings in<br />

specialization in implementation of projects. Further, a number of initiatives have been taken in recent<br />

years under India's 11 th Plan by both the central and state Governments to promote infrastructure<br />

development through PPPs. We have significant experience with the development, operations and<br />

maintenance of road, bridge and port projects in India and we believe that this will help us ensure the<br />

continued growth of our business operations through participation in PPP infrastructure projects.<br />

Experienced management team and highly qualified personnel: As on September 30, 2009, our<br />

Company had an experienced management team and technically qualified work force of 3,976<br />

employees. In addition, our Company had 9,250 skilled project-specific employees. Our experience in<br />

the Indian construction industry enables us to estimate and manage costs for the fixed-price projects for<br />

which we bid. We provide our staff with a high growth environment, competitive compensation<br />

packages and continuous training programs. We believe that the combination of these factors has been<br />

successful in reducing our attrition rates.<br />

Gammon brand and synergies within the Gammon Group: Due to our long-standing history, we<br />

believe that our brand enjoys strong brand recognition in India. Over the years, we have received<br />

several recognitions and awards from various industry bodies, such as International Federation of Asian<br />

and Western Pacific Contractors Association (IWPACA), India Institute of Bridge Engineering, the<br />

Indian Concrete Institute and Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India). As an integrated<br />

company, we have built upon the synergy we have derived from our strong brand recognition in other<br />

lines of business.<br />

Our vision is to be a world-class construction and infrastructure enterprise committed to quality, timely<br />

completion of projects, customer satisfaction, continuous learning and enhancement of stakeholders‘ value.<br />

Some of our key business strategies include:<br />

Capture high growth opportunities throughout India: We intend to target specific sectors and<br />

geographical areas where we believe there is high growth potential. We also intend to exploit our<br />

competitive advantages in these high-value businesses, and will continue to evaluate and explore the<br />

opportunities in the roads, transportation and power sectors. In particular, we believe that the road and<br />

transportation sectors will provide significant opportunities, which may come as BOT projects that we<br />

undertake with third parties as an EPC contractor or with our subsidiary, GIPL. We also expect the<br />

power sector to experience robust growth, and we are positioning ourselves to capture these<br />

opportunities by leveraging our experience and project execution capabilities in the construction of<br />

thermal, hydroelectric and nuclear power plants. We intend to form joint ventures for a number of<br />

power projects as well as bid for the ancillary construction work associated with these projects.<br />

Enhance our EPC capabilities: Quality of work and timely completion of projects are critical to our<br />

EPC 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 />
