Position ourselves as a one stop energy shop: The power segment in India has witnessed and is<br />

expected to have a robust growth with projected demand for new projects of 100,000 MW during the<br />

period 2008-2013. (Source: Ministry of Power) There is an increasing trend for the utility power project<br />

owners to engage companies which can provide solutions from concept to commissioning. In light of<br />

the above, we intend to position ourselves as a ―one-stop energy shop‖, providing consulting, design,<br />

EPC, O&M, manufacturing and other related services for nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric and nonconventional<br />

power projects. As a result of the amalgamation of ATSL to our Company, we have<br />

scaled up our power transmission and distribution business. We believe that our acquisitions will<br />

produce substantial synergistic benefits, including a centralized command structure, economies of scale,<br />

diversity of operations and better visibility as an integrated construction company. We intend to utilize<br />

these synergies and expand our products and services offering in India, and we also plan to exploit<br />

these advantages by participating in large-scale projects to optimize the allocation of resources and<br />

improve profitability. We have been pre-qualified to supply boilers and turbines to various Indian<br />

companies, such as NHPC Limited, National Thermal Power Corporation and North Eastern Electric<br />

Power Corporation. We believe we are ideally positioned to capitalize on the strengths of the different<br />

businesses in which our subsidiaries and joint ventures are 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<br />

€41.69 million, €17.66 million and €2.77 million, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2008,<br />

various improvements have been carried out in areas such as the product and market mix, the supply<br />

chain management process and costs control. We also aim to bring cost-competitiveness to our Italian<br />

subsidiaries and joint venture through sharing resources or using low-cost manufacturing facilities in<br />

India. Furthermore, to meet the anticipated growth in demand in energy we have ventured into drilling<br />

and exploration, through a participating interest of 61.00% in a marginal field in Ecuador in joint<br />

venture with Joshi Technologies International Inc. and a participating interest of 50.00% in an<br />

exploration program in Nebraska, U.S. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand into new<br />

geographical and business areas whether by means of organic growth or through strategic acquisitions.<br />
