From the<br />
Chairman's Desk...<br />
Dear Friends<br />
We have stepped into the Financial Year <strong>2018</strong>-19 and I stand<br />
extremely confident <strong>of</strong> moving ahead as a stronger leaner<br />
organisation.<br />
We have taken a decision to merge into one Corporate Office and this<br />
logistical move has larger implications than a mere seat change – I look at<br />
it as a consolidation <strong>of</strong> sorts. We will now be at one place with greater<br />
accessibility to each other and greater ability to take team decisions. Being<br />
in one place makes me think <strong>of</strong> us as one strong team!<br />
Let's now address our business needs on a war footing and let speed <strong>of</strong><br />
delivery and fast decision making be our motto! I <strong>of</strong>ten see strings <strong>of</strong> mails<br />
being exchanged between teams for petty decisions that either need a phone<br />
call or a single meeting. Our efforts should be directed at getting the work done<br />
without wasting time or energy.<br />
We all - I as a promoter <strong>of</strong> this organisation and you as its ambassador - realise that<br />
ours is a great company. We have come a long way and in the process delivered some exceptional work<br />
globally. Today is the time when all <strong>of</strong> us need to put aside our egos, differences and hierarchy and vigorously<br />
take ownership for our action and responsibility <strong>of</strong> our teams.<br />
This issue <strong>of</strong> <strong>Spirit</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Enterprise</strong> reiterates what this company is capable <strong>of</strong> – great execution by great people.<br />
The people <strong>of</strong> North East are extremely happy with the construction <strong>of</strong> the Sikkim airport in their land-locked<br />
state and people <strong>of</strong> states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Odisha thank our company for the national highway<br />
projects that will enhance connectivity. Our Defence project for full body truck scanners will enhance the nation's<br />
security at our borders. Such is the nature <strong>of</strong> our work! We build our nation and other nations too, using quality as<br />
our most precious tool.<br />
Our projects under execution are making good progress and we are continuing to win new orders. If we stay<br />
focussed with a positive, go-getter attitude, we are sure to be back to our leadership position as a global EPC<br />
company.<br />
And this is now in your hands!<br />
Atul Punj<br />

Punj Lloyd at the Grand Launch <strong>of</strong> its 15th Milestone Project with<br />
GAIL (India)<br />
As the construction partner for GAIL's 36”dia x 206.6 km Dhamra -<br />
Angul section <strong>of</strong> Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline, Punj<br />
Lloyd was invited to the launch ceremony at the proposed pigging<br />
station near Jajpur.<br />
The inauguration <strong>of</strong> the pipeline was done by Honourable Minister<br />
<strong>of</strong> Petroleum & Natural Gas, Skill Development and<br />
Entrepreneurship, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.<br />
The ambitious 2,655 km long JHBDPL project also known as<br />
'Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga' project originates at Jagdishpur (Uttar<br />
Pradesh). The main trunk <strong>of</strong> pipeline ends at Haldia (West Bengal)<br />
and Dhamra (Odisha). The pipeline passes through Uttar Pradesh,<br />
Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha.<br />
The project is considered as a major step towards collective<br />
growth and development <strong>of</strong> the Eastern region <strong>of</strong> India. It will<br />
provide clean energy to households and transportation in the cities<br />
en-route the pipeline.<br />
Work on the pipeline has started in full swing.

Irrigation<br />
We recently forayed into the new business <strong>of</strong> irrigation and are extremely proud that our canal lining and<br />
structure work including excavation, embankment, filling for the Gosikhurd National Project in districts <strong>of</strong><br />
Maharashtra is making good headway.<br />
Asian Highway<br />
A 50 m long, 2.7 m wide girder has been launched at our<br />
prestigious Asian Highway Bhutan – Bangladesh Road<br />
project. A very difficult task as soon after the placement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
first girder, the execution team had to be cautious against<br />
buckling and overturning till the second girder was joined. This<br />
is the single longest girder that has ever been erected by Punj<br />
Lloyd and a great feat in the field <strong>of</strong> civil construction.<br />
RAPID<br />
Our ongoing flagship Tankage order, RAPID is making great progress in execution besides surpassing its own<br />
quality and safety milestones at the project. We are the first EPCC in RC that has completed all elements for<br />
HSE in transition readiness.<br />
Hydro testing <strong>of</strong> all 44 tanks and the spheres has been completed. External Painting <strong>of</strong> 37 tanks and<br />
internal painting for 31 has also been completed. The piping erection work is nearly complete. Our RAPID<br />
project team has been consistently demonstrating strong commitment to Quality and Safety which is<br />

evident from the Focused Recognition awards recently received from the<br />
client, Petronas. Punj Lloyd has won the following recognitions:<br />
1. Quality Excellence award - Best Contractor award for the month <strong>of</strong><br />
February <strong>2018</strong> – this is second time that the team has received this<br />
award<br />
2. HSE Excellence award - Best Contractor award for the month <strong>of</strong><br />
November 2017<br />
It is matter <strong>of</strong> pride that Punj Lloyd has topped the charts among reputed<br />
EPC Contractors such as Toyo Engineering, TR Engineering, CCSM, Sinopec and Petr<strong>of</strong>rac. Quality and safety<br />
results demonstrate the team's commitment, focus, untiring efforts and leadership. The Management interacts<br />
regularly with workers through 'We Care We Walk' initiative. Another innovative program, 'VIP lunch' has been<br />
implemented where the team can openly interact on Quality and Safety issues during lunch with the leadership<br />
team. The Management mission is to ensure that every worker returns home safely to his family. Quality Assurance<br />
takes precedence over Quality Control for which the Management is relentlessly driving preventive approach.<br />
The team has recently achieved 15 million manhours at the site.

Outstanding Achievement Award from ORPIC, Oman<br />
ORPIC has awarded Punj Lloyd with the outstanding achievement award for<br />
one million LTI free manhours without lost time injury. In a celebration in Oman, the<br />
client gave away the certificate to the team.<br />
Sikkim Airport passes the test<br />
On 10th March <strong>2018</strong>, a Spicejet flight, Bombardier Q400,<br />
landed safely at the Pakyong airport. A special inspection team<br />
comprising DGCA, AAI and Spicejet technical personnel were<br />
on-board the flight and upon successful landing they jointly<br />
inspected the runway and allied infrastructure. Constructing a<br />
1700 m long runway in the land-locked and mountainous<br />
terrain <strong>of</strong> Sikkim has not been an easy task but our team took<br />
up the challenge and achieved the impossible! This airport will<br />
be one <strong>of</strong> the five highest airports in India. The project won the<br />
'International Project <strong>of</strong> the Year' award at the Ground<br />
Engineering Awards 2012 for the construction <strong>of</strong> a 70 m high<br />
reinforced earth wall, the tallest in the world.
