This document discusses quality and continual improvement in Gammon India. It begins with an introduction that defines continual improvement as an ongoing effort to iteratively improve processes through small incremental changes or large breakthrough changes. It notes the distinction between "continuous" and "continual", with continual referring to discrete improvements over time rather than continuous mathematical improvement. The document then provides background on Gammon India as an infrastructure company in India and the challenges facing the construction industry in India. It outlines the structure of the dissertation, which examines quality and continual improvement processes at Gammon India through a case study.

INTRODUCTION

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
―Quality is about meeting the needs and expectations of customers‖ A continual
improvement process (CIP or CI), also often called a continuous improvement process (usage
preference discussed below), is an ongoing effort to improve products, services, or processes.
These efforts can seek "incremental" improvement over time or "breakthrough" improvement
all at once. Delivery (customer valued) processes are constantly evaluated and improved in the
light of their efficiency, effectiveness and flexibility.
Some see CIPs as a meta-process for most management systems (such as business process
management, quality management, project management, and program management). W.
Edwards Deming, a pioneer of the field, saw it as part of the 'system' whereby feedback from
the process and customer were evaluated against organisational goals. The fact that it can be
called a management process does not mean that it needs to be executed by 'management';
but rather merely that it makes decisions about the implementation of the delivery process
and the design of the delivery process itself.
Some successful implementations use the approach known as Kaizen (the translation of kai
(―change‖) zen (―good‖) is ―improvement‖). This method became famous by the book of
Masaaki Imai ―Kaizen: The Key to Japan's Competitive Success.‖
 The core principle of CIP is the (self) reflection of processes. (Feedback)
 The purpose of CIP is the identification, reduction, and elimination of suboptimal
processes. (Efficiency)
The emphasis of CIP is on incremental, continual steps rather than giant leaps.The CIP-concept
is also used in Environmental Management Systems (EMS), such as ISO 14000 and EMAS. The
term "continual improvement", not "continuous improvement", is used in ISO 14000, and is
understood to refer to an ongoing series of small or large-scale improvements which are each
done discretely, i.e. in a step-wise fashion. Several differences exist between the CIP concept
as it is applied in quality management and environmental management. CIP in EMS aims to
improve the natural consequences of products and activities, not the products and activities as
such. Secondly, there is no client-orientation in EMS-related CIP. Also, CIP in EMS is not

10. 10
limited to small, incremental improvements as in Kaizen, it also includes innovations of any
scale (Gastl)
"Continuous" versus "continual"
In English-language linguistic prescription there is a common piece of usage advice that the
word "continuous" should be used for things that are continuous in a way literally or
figuratively equal to the mathematical sense of the word, whereas the word "continual"
should be used for things that continue in discrete jumps (that is, quantum-wise). When this
distinction is enforced, it is more accurate to speak of "continual improvement" and "continual
improvement processes" than of "continuous improvement" or "continuous improvement
processes".
Meanwhile, for several decades it has been common usage in the linguistic corpus of business
management to use the one set term, "continuous improvement", to cover both of those graph
shapes in umbrella fashion. It is merely the way the word has been conventionally used in this
context, in a common understanding that existed regardless of prescriptive preferences.
However, ISO has chosen the more careful usage for its standards including ISO 9000 and ISO
14000; so it may be reasonable to expect that usage among business managers will evolve in
coming decades to conform to the preferred usage .
Continuous improvement is an ongoing effort to improve products, services or processes.
These efforts can seek ―incremental‖ improvement over time or ―breakthrough‖ improvement
all at once.
Among the most widely used tools for continuous improvement is a four-step quality model—
the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle, also known as Deming Cycle or Shewhart Cycle:
 Plan: Identify an opportunity and plan for change.
 Do: Implement the change on a small scale.
 Check: Use data to analyze the results of the change and determine whether it made a
difference.
 Act: If the change was successful, implement it on a wider scale and continuously assess
your results. If the change did not work, begin the cycle again.
Other widely used methods of continuous improvement — such as Six Sigma, Lean, and Total
Quality Management — emphasize employee involvement and teamwork; measuring and
systematizing processes; and reducing variation, defects and cycle times.

11. 11
Continuous or Continual?
The terms continuous improvement and continual improvement are frequently used
interchangeably. But some quality practitioners make the following distinction:
 Continual improvement: a broader term preferred by W. Edwards Deming to refer to
general processes of improvement and encompassing ―discontinuous‖ improvements—that is,
many different approaches, covering different areas.
 Continuous improvement: a subset of continual improvement, with a more specific focus
on linear, incremental improvement within an existing process. Some practitioners also
associate continuous improvement more closely with techniques of statistical process control.
Continuous quality improvement (CQI), a system that seeks to improve the provision of
services with an emphasis on future results. Like total quality management, CQI uses a set of
statistical tools to understand subsystems and uncover problems, but its emphasis is on
maintaining quality in the future, not just controlling a process. Once a process that needs
improvement is identified, a team of knowledgeable individuals is gathered to research and
document each step of that process. Once specific expectations and the means to measure
them have been established, implementation aims at preventing future failures and involves
the setting of goals, education, and the measurement of results. If necessary, the plan may be
revised on the basis of the results, so that the improvement is ongoing.
GAMMON Ltd. has a unique business model, with proven expertise in innovative thinking,
project and cost management. We are focused on delivering high quality work within budgeted
time and costs, as evident in the various accolades and repeat business.
Our key objectives have also been to continuously broad base the operating portfolio and
enhance the order book, thus opening new avenues to growth and profitability. We have also
developed an appropriate blend of entrepreneurs and hands on professionals, constantly
thinking & executing innovative and cost effective solutions to clients‘ requirements.
Since our incorporation, we have acquired expertise in EPC contracts, and have also recently
forayed into Urban Infrastructure projects. We commenced our construction projects by

12. 12
undertaking two contracts of Rs.0.3 million each in 1996 and presently have a prequalification
capacity to quote for contracts over Rs. 10.3 billion.
In desire to continual improvement of processes, services, meeting statutory & regulatory
requirements and enhanced customer delight, GAMMON has established an Integrated
Management System. The IMS adheres to the standards set out by ISO 9001:2008.

India's Infrastructure Companies
By Construction Week Research Team
India’s infrastructural development is scaling greater heights with each new day. We
present the TOP stars from the 2009-10 EDITION OF this BIG growth story.
One of the most talked about aspects of the global financial crisis has been the resilience
shown by emerging economies – particularly by India. Indian economy‘s competence to
considerably shield itself from external influences has resulted from a strong domestic market
and a sturdy performance by the infrastructure industry led by some of the established as well
as rapidly emerging companies.
India‘s infrastructure companies have shown their expertise in dealing with the challenges and
making the most of the available opportunities – both critical qualities for achieving great
success.
Equally important has been the role played by the government's determination to participate
in and encourage the development of world class infrastructure in the country. It has lead
from the front through various initiatives, refinements in processes and reforms in policies.
Full credit should be given to the infrastructure companies that positively used the
government‘s support to their advantage and added substantially to the cause of nation
building. While there are hundreds of companies who continue to participate in India‘s
infrastructure story, it is always an interesting and insightful exercise to find out the names
of the leaders.
Our task has been both easy and difficult. It was easy because the leaders have been very
consistent in the proficiency, productivity and performance over the years and one can hardly
miss out these names that regularly grab headlines. It was difficult because filtering down the
list to just ten names is a statistician‘s nightmare.
Of course, it would have been unfair if we had relied purely on statistics; there‘s a lot more
to it. We do not (and cannot) claim that this is the ultimate list since all such lists are subject
to industry ups and downs. But we are confident that this list is as good as it gets and gives
you a very fine idea about who the top players are.
For all right reasons, Construction Week's 'India's Top Ten Infrastructure Companies' list is
based on various criteria including research & analysis, financial results for the recently ended
fiscal, order book standings, general market perception, key ongoing projects and so on. While
care has been taken to make this list as comprehensive and as updated as possible, we do not
claim it to be beyond market dynamics.

14. 14
1 Larsen &Toubro Ltd
Larsen &Toubro (L&T) remains the undisputed number one infrastructure company in India.
Nobody could have summarised its role in nation building better than P Chidambaram, who
called it India's only national sector company (on the company‘s 70th anniversary when he was
the Union Finance Minister). That was in 2007. Today, L&T continues to build on its reputation
by maintaining an all round growth across the infrastructure segments where it operates. The
recently concluded fiscal has been quite good for the company.
As a company statement said, 'various cost optimization initiatives launched by the Company,
aided by lower input costs, led to an improvement in the profitability of both project and
product businesses'.
The Profit after Tax for L&T as a group for the year at Rs5451 crore grew by a whopping 44%
as compared to the previous year. Subsidiaries and associate companies together contributed
Rs613 crore to the Group's profits, posting a rise of more than 100% over the similar amount
for the previous year. The Group‘s consolidated total income registered Rs 43970 crorevis-a-vis
Rs40511 crore for the previous year.
The operating margin at 13.1% improved by 140 basis points over last year, while the order
book crossed the Rs100,000crore mark as of March 31, 2010. (The Engineering & Construction
Segment‘s contribution to this is Rs 63899 crore). The huge order book gives ample visibility to
the company‘s continued leadership position. L&T is well poised to take advantage of the
opportunities presented by India's amazing infrastructure development. Moreover, L&T has
considerable presence and capabilities in the international markets.
2 Punj Lloyd Group
This is the next 'No surprise' name. Punj Lloyd Group's consolidated total income for FY2010
stood at Rs10,539crore with an EBIDTA of Rs218 crore and PAT at Rs108 crore. In a recent
interview with Construction Week, AtulPunj, Chairman of the Punj Lloyd Group had said that
his group aims to be amongst the top five EPC players globally by 2012.
Quite pleased at the financial performance of the Group, he said, "We've seen good traction in
order inflow from most of our business verticals during the quarter under review. Our order
book continues to be robust at Rs27,770crore which is 2.64 times of our FY10 revenues. Some
of our large wins include India‘s largest solar-based EPC contract as well as two projects from
Mangalore Refinery. We have also completed repayment of all loans and outstanding of Simon

15. 15
Carves UK. The results of our initiatives enhance my confidence in our capabilities and
strengths.
I believe Punj Lloyd is well positioned to leverage the considerable opportunities in the
infrastructure and hydrocarbons business." This year, the Group also won its first project in
Thailand. The contract, valued at Rs574 crore, was secured from PTT Public Company Ltd, a
Thailand state-owned oil & gas major and one of the largest corporations in Thailand listed in
the Fortune Global 500 companies. Punj Lloyd Group sold its entire stake of 19.43% in Pipavav
Shipyard (PSL) to the Company‘s co-promoter, Skil Infrastructure, making profits of Rs3,071
million in the overall deal.
3 Jaiprakash Associates Ltd
Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL) has emerged as a leading infrastructure conglomerate having
business interest in a wide range of areas like engineering & construction, cement, power,
expressways, real estate and hospitality. The Group showed an impressive performance during
financial year ended March 31, 2010 with total revenues of Rs10316.04 crore; up 72.52% from
Rs5979.52 crore in the same period last fiscal. This is the first time that the Group has crossed
the Rs10,000crore turnover mark.
While Ebidta stood at Rs2891.44 crore up 40.36% from Rs2059.91 crore, the net profit (after
extraordinary items) for FY10 stood at Rs1708.36 crore registering a growth of 90.45% from
Rs897.01 crore in FY09. Commenting on this, Manoj Gaur, Executive Chairman, JAL, said, "The
roadmap that we have laid at the start of the fiscal has helped us achieve an all-round growth
across all sectors. The group is fully geared up with the avenues opened by the government of
India in infrastructure, real estate and power sectors. I would like to thank all our
shareholders for the faith that they have reposed in the recent listing of our group company –
JaypeeInfratech Ltd (JIL)." Commenting on the group‘s performance in core business sectors,
Mr. Gaur further added, "We are currently on a high-growth path. Jaypee Group is a unique
group with a de-risked business model having diversified portfolios with business interests in
all spheres of infrastructure sector - be it engineering & construction, power, expressways and
real estate."
JIL sold over 1.5-million sqft of developed real estate between April-May 2010 in the Group‘s
integrated township at Noida. In the last fiscal, JIL has sold over 13,000 units comprising of
20.35 mlnsqft area. In the cement business, Jaypee Group has an installed capacity of 21.3
MTPA and going forward it plans to scale up the capacity to over 33.00 MTPA by FY12.

16. 16
"With government‘s impetus on infrastructure sector and our new capacities operating at full
capacities, we expect a significant growth in our cement business," said Mr Gaur.
4 LancoInfratech Limited
With operating revenue up by 36% from Rs6945.66 crore to Rs9457.21 crore in 2009-10,
LancoInfratech is today one of the fastest growing infra companies in India. It has subsidiaries
and divisions across a synergistic span of verticals including construction, power, EPC,
infrastructure, property development and renewables.
The company has Rs25713.70 crore worth of construction and EPC order book as on March 31,
2010 which is spread over power projects (88%); roads & building projects (8%) and other
projects (4%). "The trajectory of the construction and EPC division is much strong and very
visible. On a long run basis, at least over the next four years, we will see significant amount
of visibility to the construction and EPC order book," J Suresh Kumar, CFO, LancoInfratech Ltd
told Construction Week.
In the power segment, Lanco currently has 9311 MW under operation and construction. This
includes 1349 MW under operation; 733 MW under synchronization; 1875 MW expected be
commissioned in FY 2011 and 5354 MW under construction. The company expects that 5354 MW
of projects under construction to be commissioned by FY 2014.
"In the space of power, we will be adding about 2,600 MW additional operating capacity this
year, increasing our operational capacity to around 4,000 MW of which our merchant portfolio
would be about 766 MW. The cash flows that we are going to generate from these projects will
cater to the equity requirements of power projects which are currently under execution and
development," Kumar added.
The company is currently constructing two road projects in Karnataka, the 81 km Bangalore-
Hoskote-Mudbagal stretch on National Highway 4 and the 82 km Neelamangla - Devihalli
stretch on National Highway 48 on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis. The total project
cost is estimated at Rs1300 crore and involves six laning of 16 km stretch and four laning of
the remaining stretches.
5 Nagarjuna Construction Company
Since crossing the Rs1 billion-turnover in 1995, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd (NCC) has
kept itself busy establishing new divisions for its business. It established a property division in

17. 17
1996, followed by transportation (roads, highways and bridges), water, electrical, power,
irrigation, metals and oil & gas.
With a strong order book worth Rs15,370crore, NCC is today one of the most dynamic
infrastructure companies in India. Its order book includes 24% from buildings & housings, 16%
from water & environment, 21% from international projects, 13% from new divisions, 10% from
irrigation, 8% from transportation, 5% from electricals and 3% from metals. The company is
looking at building an order book of around Rs25,000crore by this fiscal.
NCC has achieved a turnover of Rs5897 crore for the year ended March 31, 2010 as against
turnover of Rs4786 crore in the previous year, registering a growth of 23%. It looks to become
a US$2-billion turnover company by the next financial year.
The company posted an EBIDTA of Rs 658.23 crore and net profit after tax of Rs282.74 crore
for the year as against Rs504 crore and Rs181 crore respectively in the previous year. Seeing
huge opportunities in power sector construction and execution business, NCC is looking at
power generation capacity of 5,000 MW in a few years. It is expected to achieve financial
closure of 1,320-MW Phase I project at Srikakulam by next month. It will take up the second
phase of 1320-MW at the same location at the later stage.
NCC was among the few companies to make early entry into BOT and BOOT projects. Moving
forward, the company said it looks to increase focus on transportation and power sector. It is
also looking at expanding in international markets by focusing more on roads, water supply
and buildings projects. NCC employs 4,400 people directly and 35,000 piece rate workers
indirectly.
6 IVRCL Infrastructures & Projects Ltd
Established as a premier EPC & LSTK service provider in 1990, IVRCL Infrastructures & Projects
achieved group turnover of US$1 billion in less than two decades of its operation. It has strong
presence in water, transportation, building & industrial structures and power sector.
The company entered into BOT/BOOT/DBOOT projects in 2001 and currently is executing some
of the big projects across the country. With current order book standing at Rs23,375crore, the
Hyderabad-based IVRCL expects the figure to reach Rs32,000 crore in FY11, thanks to rise in
government orders. In addition to its current order book, it has bided for close to about
Rs19,000crore worth of work which it expects to open soon.
IVRCL had recently won Rs3,100-crore BOT toll road projects on the Goa-Maharashtra border
from NHAI. The 122.06-km stretch will be taken up for four-and six-lane work on the NH 17

18. 18
from Maharashtra-Goa border to Panaji-Goa-Karnataka. The project includes a six-lane cable-stay
bridge over the Zuaririver.
The company has achieved a consolidated turnover of Rs5841.42 crore against Rs5074.07 crore,
recording a growth of 15.12%. IVRCL is bullish about its revenue in current financial year to
reach Rs7,000crore, up from around Rs5,500 crore this year.
The company sees huge potential in the water sector as almost all the states in India are
water starved or water stressed. IVRCL has been maintaining about 45% to 55% top-line and
close to about 60% bottom-line in the water sector. Moving forward, the company expects
states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat to spend about
US$4-5 billion each to meet water need, not only for drinking water but also irrigation.
7 Simplex Infrastructures Ltd
Present in business since 1924, Simplex Infrastructures is one of the largest pure play civil
construction & engineering contractors in India. It has strong presence across various
construction verticals, which include industrial plants, power plants – thermal; nuclear; hydel;
urban infrastructures & utilities, buildings and housing, marine, roads; railways; bridges &
elevated road & rail corridors.
The company's order book at the yearend was 14% higher at Rs11,491crore against Rs10,059
crore last year, comprising power (27%); building & housing (22%); industrial plants (19%);
urban infra (16%); bridges (9%); marine & piling (3% each) and roads & railways(2%). The
company said there was further order inflow of Rs1289 crore during the first two months of
the current year. The company has given a guidance of top-line growth of 15-20% during the
current year FY11.

8 GMR Group
When GMR opened the T3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi recently, it was
more than the opening of a terminal. It was a statement that airport infrastructure in India
had attained a new level. Although the revenues for the Group have gone up a modest 14% and
the net profit has declined, the Ebidta went up 27%, cash profit by 14% and free cash flow by
27.5%, signifying the efficient and profitable operations of the business.
Commenting on the performance of the full year, GM Rao, Group Chairman said: "We are
continuing our focus on business building and institution building at the same time and
achieved significant progress on both fronts. We made a strong start to the year as we
acquired key power plants, thereby adding 1970 MW to our portfolio. We commenced
operations in the newly constructed domestic terminal T1D of Delhi International Airport. We
won three highway projects spread across three states. The 235 MW barge mounted power
plant was successfully relocated from Mangalore to Kakinada.
We successfully completed the construction of the brand new Delhi Terminal 3 and it will
stand tall as an infrastructure icon and modern gateway of India for our country to be truly
proud of. We launched some important institution building initiatives and strengthened
several others across the company with special focus on all our stakeholders – shareholders,
lenders, customers, government, employees, partners, environment and society. We launched
Business Excellence program, Knowledge Management initiatives took speed, initiated
Enterprise Risk Management framework, launched powerful development programs on
leadership for senior executives and made significant progress in performance management
and talent review. The year gone by has been satisfying on all fronts as we created a robust
platform of sustainable long-term growth for our company. With 3 airports, 13 power plants,
9 highways, and 22 locations of our CSR activities we have positioned ourselves as a
responsible corporate citizen and as a strong, infrastructure developer known for world-class
quality delivered on time."

9 Gammon India
The last financial year wasn't exactly a memorable one for Gammon India; the DMRC accidents
definitely did not help. But it would be wrong to judge the company purely on these two
issues.

20. 20
There are many reasons why this company makes to the top ten list – one of the reasons being
the fact that it is the only Indian Construction Company to have been accredited with ISO 9001
certification for all fields of civil engineering works including design. Another reason is the
wide range of complex projects that the firm is handling across geographies with an order
book standing of Rs14745 crore on the year ending March 31, 2010. This is substantially better
(14%) compared to Rs12900 crore as end of FY09. The order book has a good mix of
transportation, energy & transmission and water.
Gammon India's operational income stood at Rs 4488.94 crore with the operating profit at Rs
418.19 crore. One highlight of the financial year gone by has been the acquisition of 69.41%
stake in AnsaldoCaldaie Boilers India Pvt Ltd (ACBIPL). ACBIPL is engaged in the business of
designing, procuring, manufacturing, erecting of steam generation units.
Some of the key ongoing projects undertaken by Gammon India include a huge order from
Iskcon, another Rs 631.81 crore order from Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development
Corporation for construction of bridge and its approaches over river Yamuna at Wazirabad
(Delhi), a contract aggregating Rs 308 crore from Jindal Power for civil works amongst others.
Gammon India‘s Italy-based wholly-owned subsidiary SAE Power lines bagged $22.5 million
worth of turnkey contract in Algeria for a 220 KV transmission line along with another power
transmission project worth $31 million in Tanzania. Franco TosiMeccanica SPA Italy, another
subsidiary of Gammon India, secured Rs510 crore worth of order for the supply of hydro
turbines.

10 Hindustan Construction Company (HCC)
Even we were surprised to see Hindustan Construction Company at Number 10 - nothing to
take away from the other companies at the top. One is further surprised to see that
MrGulabchand has described the last one year as a 'slow year' in the annual report. Of course,
he has added that the year 'allowed the company to focus on 'nuts and bolts' and prepare for
more aggressive multi-pronged growth'.
Nevertheless, one cannot overlook the various happenings at the Group in this 'slow year'. The
Bandra-Worli Sea link was opened in June 2009 and then the company raised Rs480 crore
through QIP in July 2009. While developing and implementing an excellent IT system for its
own projects and for others, HCC also launched Asia's first IT Company for the infrastructure
sector.

21. 21
It made its first international acquisition with Karl Steiner AG. HCC also made considerable
progress at Lavasa; the project has now been expanded to 18000 acres as against the earlier
plans of 12500 acres. HCC Real Estate too has shown great promise with 247Park. The company
also signed contracts for several projects. There has been a sizeable growth in the company‘s
order book, which stood at Rs18810 crore as on March 31, 2010. HCC‘s income from operations
increased by 10% to Rs3863crore in 2009-10 with Ebidta increasing by 3% to Rs443 crore.

Abstract
The construction industry is the second largest industry of the country afteragriculture. It
makes a significant contribution to the national economy and providesemployment to large
number of people. The use of various new technologies anddeployment of project
management strategies has made it possible to undertakeprojects of mega scale. In its path of
advancement, the industry has to overcome anumber of challenges. However, the industry is
still faced with some major
challenges, including housing, disaster resistant construction, water managementand mass
transportation. Recent experiences of several new mega-projects are clearindicators that the
industry is poised for a bright future. It is the second homecomingof the civil engineering
profession to the forefront amongst all professions in thecountry.
1. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND NATIONAL ECONOMY
Presently, the annual expenditure budget of India is Rs.438,795 Croresagainstthe backdrop of
the total Gross National Product (GNP) of the country of aboutRs.2200,000 Croresor more
(www.indiabudget.nic.in, 2004). Over the years, morethan half of the expenditure budget is
spent on civil engineering works. The constructionindustry sets in motion the process of
economical growth in the country; investmentin this sector contributes 6.5% of Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) growth (Das, 2003).Every Re.1 investment in the construction industry causes an
Rs.0.80 increment inGDP as against Rs.0.20 and Rs.0.14 in the fields of agriculture and
manufacturingindustry, respectively. Statistics over the period have shown that compared to
othersectors, this sector of economic activity generally creates 4.7 times increase inincomes

22. 22
and 7.76 times increase in employment generation potentiality. Sustainedefforts by the Indian
construction industry and the Planning Commission have led toassigning the industry status to
construction today. This means formal planning and
above board financial planning will be the obvious destination of the construction
sector in the country, with over 3.1 Crore persons employed in it.
1. NEW MEGA-PROJECTS
In the recent times, India has stepped up its development agenda. One
explicit indicator of this is the aggressive pace of construction activity in the country.The
honorable President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, has set the goal of 2020for India to
become a developed nation. However, economists and developmentanalysts of the country
have a different perception. They believe that if the currentnational level initiatives are
consistently supported along with a few new initiativesin the areas of education, health and
labour, this country will be in the driving seatand on a one-way street of growth. The
particular emphasis on infrastructuredevelopment will put India on a road map with Brazil,
China and Russia towards
becoming a developed nation by 2050. The following are some of the physical
infrastructure related projects that the country has undertaken or is poised to
undertake in the near future.
1.1 Delhi Metro Rail Project
This project is developing a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in Delhi. Thefirst phase of the
project is presently under operation. It aims to provide 68.3 km ofMRTS by September 2005.
The estimated completion cost of this phase aloneRs.10,500Crores. It involves construction of
10.5 km of surface lines, 45.6 km ofelevated routes and 12.2 km of underground routes. The
construction ofunderground segments involves tunneling through hard rock strata. Special
giant size (6m diameter)
2.0 Highway Projects
Until recently, India lacked proper highway network across the length andbreadth of the
country, which severely affected the pace of growth. The developmentagenda of the nation
and the projected industrial growth demanded world-classroad network for safer, faster and
efficient movement of men and material. Adetailed assessment of needs was done and
ambitious plans were prepared toundertake a mega-project for highways as part of the Ninth
Five Year Plan. The
project comprises of two parts , namely:

23. 23
(a) Part I : Golden Quadrangle – Connecting all four mega-cities of India; and
(b) Part II : North-South and East-West Corridors – Connecting Srinagar-Kanyakumari
andSilchar-Porbandar respectively.During 1999-2007, about 14,846 km of 4/6 lane highways
are to be built at anapproximate rate of 1650 km per year (Das, 2003).The total capital
investment is estimated to be Rs.58,000Croresin the GoldenQuadrangle and Rs.40,000 Croresin
North-South East-West Corridors. During 2001-04 it has been estimated that total 18 Crore
man-days will be created due to thisproject, comprising of employment to 250,000
construction workers and 10,000supervisory technical personnel per day. World Bank in its
report has estimated that
approximatelyRs.8,000 Croreswill be saved on fuel and vehicle maintenance cost
every year due to high standards of Golden Quadrilateral alone.
2.1 River Inter-Linking Project
This project of developing a mega-network of canals linking major Indianrivers is a long-term,
multi-Crore solutions of Country‘s drought, flood, inter-statewater dispute, chronic power
shortage and pollution. It would open-up windows ofopportunities like water transport and
tourism, which have ample geo-political andsocio-economic benefits. The total project is
expected to cost Rs.560,000Crores, whichis expected to irrigate an additional 15,00,00,000
hectares land (NWDA, 2003).Presently, out of the total geographic area of 32,80,00,000
hectares of the country,
14,20,00,000 hectares is irrigated. Thus, with the implementation of this project, theirrigated
land in the country would double covering almost the entire nation. Theproject is also
expected to generate 35,000 MW of electricity. This would increase thepower generating
capacity of the nation by 33% of the present capacity of 104,918MW (www.ntpc.co.in, 2004).
The National Water Development Agency (NWDA), the nodal agency to steerthis project, has
divided the project into two broad components, namely theHimalayan Component with 14
river links and the Peninsular Component with 17 river links . Some obvious benefits expected
from the project are:
1. Creating the potential to increase agricultural production by an additional 100%in the next
5 years;
2. Avoiding huge financial losses that result from loss of crops due to drought andflooding
conditions in many parts of the country;
3. Saving Rs.3,000Croresannually in foreign exchange by avoiding importing oilbecause of the
alternative navigation provided along the coastline;
4. Enhancing national security by providing additional water-line of defense; and

24. 24
5. Providing employment to 10,00,000 people for the next 10 years.

2.2 Sea-Ports Project
This project of upgrading existing ports along the gigantic coastline of thecountry will be an
invitation to traders from all directions to conduct business withIndia; the project is therefore
called as the SaagarMela Project and sometimes as theNecklace Project. With an total outlay
of about Rs.60,000Crores, this project is alsoexpected to relieve the pressure on the rail, road
and air traffic systems, by allowingthe ship and ferry services between various port cities. The
project entailsimprovement of harbor structures, developing advanced navigational
inventorysystems for small and large vessels, and adding a few smaller ports to facilitate
offloadingof cargo at points where the rail or road traffic is not already too congested.

25. 25
2.3 Air-Taxi Project
Another mega-project that is under plan preparation is one that will enhanceair connectivity
between various places in the country. It is expected that theenhancement of existing airports
to higher standards and capacity, and addition ofnew airports at critical locations will lead to
more hubs for traffic exchange, incontrast to just Delhi and Bombay currently. It is also
proposed to have a highcapacity airport at Nagpur, which will off load and carry passengers
from any corner
of the country to another such destination without having to necessarily reach one ofthe
already busy airports of Delhi and Bombay. This project along with othernational level
initiatives of the Central Government is expected to result in a sharpdrop (by about 70-80%) in
the current air travel cost in the country. The financialoutlay for this project is expected to
far exceed some of the ongoing mega-projectslike the highways project or the sea-ports
project.

3. NEW MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGIES
New mega-project undertaken, involvement of international consultants, andparticipation of
Indian consultants/contractors in international projects has led toinfusion of new materials,
equipment and technologies in the construction practicesin India. While manufacturing of new
materials is going on at a more aggressivepace, the manufacturing of new equipment is
constrained by large capitalinvestments and the uncertain markets. However, the growing

26. 26
market for suchadvanced equipment will eventually push the entrepreneurs to manufacture
thesealso. On the technological front, the picture is abysmally low. The country has
notinvested adequately into making technical human resources capable of addressingthe
professional services needs of the construction industry like litigation, training ofartisans, cost
indices, contracting, insurance, finance, banking and taxation. On theengineering design front,
the college education of the practicing engineers has notbeen adequately augmented from
time to time with in-house or distance educationmodules. Thus, senior engineers are often
found oblivious to new technologies andtools. As a consequence, the country is faced with a
dire need for qualified technicalmanpower. The following are some of the newer initiatives of
the constructionindustry in the area of materials and construction strategies.
3.1 Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRS)
This new-generation high strength ribbed reinforcement bar, was firstintroduced in India by
m/s TATA Steel Limited, Jamshedpur. It is different fromtraditional bars in its method of
manufacture and consequently, in its properties.CRS is produced using the Tempcore Process,
introduced in India for the first time byTATA Steel under license from Center de
RechaercheMetallurgiques(CRM), Belgium –inventors of the process. The process imparts high
strength to the bar using thethermo mechanical treatment (TMT) technique; this is in contrast
to the cold twistingthat was used in the manufacture of traditional reinforcing bars. The
cross-section ofbars produced by this treatment process has a strong outer layer of
temperedmartensiteand a ductile inner core of ferrite-pearlite. The duality in the
constitutiongives these bars their unique combination of high strength and high ductility.
Thesebars have additional desirable properties: no residual stress, uniform propertiesalong
the length, high bond strength (2-3 times that in mild steel bars), and superiorbendability.
3.2 Closed Structurals
The structural and functional advantages of hollow sections havealways appealed to the
engineers. Till 1959, square and rectangular hollow sectionswere shop fabricated by welding
or jointing together structural plates and sections.This involved expensive fabrication,
restricting architectural expressions totraditional steel forms. Research and development of
hollow sections are carried outby an international organization, CIDECT (Headquarters: Paris).
In India, TATASTEEL adopted this concept. The excellent distribution of the material around
thecentroidal axis of closed structurals exhibits remarkable strength qualities, and thus
offers decisive advantages in its applications. Compared to conventional sections,
hollow sections result in reduced use of steel .
Property of Closed Structurals Application inStructural Systems

27. 27

Symmetry about all axes Tension Ties 15
Higher Radius of Gyration Compression Struts 45
Higher Lateral Rigidity Flexural Members 25
Higher Shear Area Members under Shear 40
Greater Enclosed Torsional Area Members under Torsion 80
3.3 Pre-engineered Buildings (PEB)
These are a special class of buildings, which are constructed by assemblingpre-built primary
framing systems with other secondary structures and claddings. Various types of framing
systems such as clear span rigid frames, beamand column frames, space saver frames, single
slope, multi-span and lean-to framesare available depending upon the needs of the builders.
They are also built toaccommodate various sidewall heights, bay spacings and loading
conditions. Theinvention of these buildings has greatly increased the speed of
construction.However, concerns have been expressed over the multi-disaster resistance of
thesebuildings. Hence, full scale testing should be conducted on them and especially on
their connections to confirm their reliability in sustaining hazards.
3.4 Engineered Steel Guardrail Systems
A noticeable change in the construction projects is the quantitative design ofsystems that
were hitherto provided in a prescriptive way. The engineered steelguardrail systems provide
utmost safety for vehicles and pedestrians on roads,highways and bridges. These rail systems
are specially profiled with W- or 3-Beamsystems . They are manufactured using facilities such
as high precisioncold forming lines, large presses, automated welding lines and complete in-housefabrication
facilities ideally suitable for manufacture of high quality steel guardsystems.
Mainly used as medians and edges of highways and bridges, these systemsare highly beneficial.
For instance, they: (a) absorb impact of the vehicle and ensureminimum damage to the
vehicle; (b) restrain laterally the vehicle from veering offthe carriageway; (c) prevent vehicles
from skidding back to the carriageway duringimpact; (d) provide gradual deceleration of the
vehicle into the carriageway after
impact thereby avoiding any risk to flowing traffic; (e) act as a visible guide todrivers during
nights and bad weather; and (f) permit quick repair in case of damagedue to accident.
3.5 Urban Construction Strategies
Large-size precast piers are used in the construction of flyovers over existingroads or other
utility services that are too important to be closed or dismantled forthe construction work of
the flyovers . These massive precast structuresare erected at site with large capacity cranes

28. 28
that are themselves not to restrict theflow of traffic . In addition, the Indian Society of
Trench less Technology(INDSTT) introduced the trench-less pipe laying technology to assist in
interruption free construction in urban environments. Besides project design,
development,implementation and monitoring are gradually getting transferred to the
computersby consultants, project owners and contractors. Some leading corporate agencies
areplanning initiatives for web-enabled design, control and monitoring of
constructionprojects.
4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
4.1 Site Selection and Landscaping
Considered to be the first step in planning of a mega project, site selection andlandscaping is
also the most important step in development of any mega-project.Apart from determining the
cost and completion time, it also affects the quality andoverall impact of the project. Almost
all the factors that contribute to the project costdepend on location of the sites, as it
determines impact on environment, impact onthe overall development of nearby area and
impact on human/material resources(Natarajan, 2003). The main factors that influence the
selection of sites for megaprojectsare availability of distribution or transmission lines of
electricity, availabilityof raw material sources and availability of transmission facilities like
roads, rail,airport and waterways.
4.2 Basic Infrastructure
Multiple basic infrastructure support is needed for the development of anymega-project.
These supports should be developed in parallel with the project itselfas the project
progresses. The major points to be kept in mind for development ofbasic infrastructure are
water supply, power supply, roads and hospitals,entertainment and shopping facilities
(Natarajan, 2003).
4.3 Contract Management
Management of contracts is one of the important aspects of constructionmanagement.
Contractors engaged for the specific purpose usually execute civilengineering construction
projects. Even when large-scale turnkey contracts of largeprojects are awarded to big
contacting agencies, sub-contractors execute the works.In some instances, the owner of the
project does not have control over these subcontractors,as they are normally accountable only
to the main contractor, resultingin delays and poor quality output.Problems of contract
management in civil engineering constructions in Indiacan be minimized to a great extent, if
management of contracts is taken up evenbefore drafting the contract documents. In fact, this
should be done while carryingout the planning and investigations of the project and

29. 29
estimation of items of work attender stage. Therefore, it should be ensured that what is
likely to be asked for, ispossible to be performed, well before formulation of the contract
documents. A goodcontract document should therefore have fairness or equity to either
parties to thecontract, clarity or un-ambiguity of all items of work, avoidance of redundancy
dueto lack of knowledge or in-attention to details and general and detailed specifications
(Saha, 2003).
4.4 Consultancy Services
It is absolutely necessary to ensure optimum involvement of consultants inconstruction
projects, as the decision makers cannot be master of all the jobs. Asound advice and proper
guidance is required for the execution of the project inright direction. Hence evolution of a
system where the contribution of the consultantis optimized and the scarce resources are
utilized to their fullest potential is veryimportant. Today, consultancy services are available
in India for proper siteselection, for planning and design of project, for financial resources,
for legal aspects,
for environmental impact assessment and rehabilitation, and for realization ofbenefits of
projects (Natarajan, 2003).
4.5 Project Control
Time and cost over-runs in Indian projects often discouraged owners fromundertaking such
projects. Control of mega-projects must be catered-for in theplanning stage itself. The
parameters to be measured or assessed, the method andfrequency of reporting, and the levels
at which corrective decisions are to be taken,should all be planned in advance (Natarajan,
2003). Client owners of projects in Indiawill benefit immensely by drawing their attention to
some important aspects ofproject control such as:
1. Resource Scheduling –The completion of a construction project is mainly governed
by resource constraints. It is essential to develop a systematic method for theallocation of
resources when the resources are limited and conflicting demandsare made for same type of
resource. This can be attained through proper resourcesmoothing or resource leveling.
Procurement of resources must relate closely tothe project schedule for operations and other
resources.
2. Financial Control – It ensures that permissible limits are not exceeded in the
totalestimates for each project. Expenditures or liabilities are not incurred until fundsare
made available. The funds should be utilized in those duly authorizedprojects for which they
are allotted and no others. Finally, it ensures that fundsallotted in any particular year are

30. 30
spent within limits. Therefore it is essential tomaintain correct and meticulous account of
expenditure and liabilities to exerciseeffective financial control.
3. Budget Formulations and Periodic Review -Determining the planned the progress of
each contract along with the requirement of stores is essential before the budgetprojection
for capital works is made.
4. Expenditure Reporting and Monitoring -Financial control over construction projects
is exercised by all levels of engineering authorities from the expenditure return. From these
returns, deviations if any, are detected by analyzing the trends of expenditure, vis-à-vis
allotments. Thereafter remedial actions are initiated to ensure that the final expenditure in
the financial year is contained within the budgetary allocation for the year.
5. TECHNICAL HUMAN RESOURCE and EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL
In India, traditionally the construction industry has been labour intensive asthe labour is
cheap and easily available. In 1995-96, approximately 1.50 Crorespeople were employed in
this industry which is expected to be 3.26 Crores by theyear 2004-2005 (Das, 2003). There are
three categories of manpower involved in thisindustry consisting of the artisan level, the
supervisory level and managerial level. Ithas been observed that every Rs.1 Crore, investment
on construction project,generates employments of 22,000 unskilled man-days, 23,000 skilled
or semiskilledman-days and 9,000 managerial and technical man-days approximately. With
only3% of total teaching in the country addressing the direct needs of the
constructionengineering and management aspects required in the construction industry, the
14thEngineering Congress on Human Capital Development in January 2002 observed
that ―in time to come, India will not have sufficient quality civil engineers even to undertake
basic infrastructure work.‖ Urgent steps are to be initiated to reverse this trend of
severe shortage of technical manpower.
6. THE CHALLENGES
The construction industry everywhere faces problems and challenges.However, in developing
countries like India, these difficulties and challenges arepresent alongside a general situation
of socio-economic stress, chronic resourceshortages, institutional weaknesses and a general
inability to deal with the keyissues. There is also evidence that the problems have become
greater in extent andseverity in recent years. One of the charges leveled at the construction
industry, as atthe beginning of the 21st century, is that it has a poor record on innovation,
whencompared with manufacturing industries such as aerospace or electronics.
6.1 Housing

31. 31
As per 2001 census, the total number of houses in India is 24,90,95,869, ofwhich only
23,32,84,677 are occupied; the rest were found vacant(www.censusindia.net, 2004). However,
even today, a large segment of India‘spopulation is still houseless. Three major bottlenecks in
the construction of housesare (a) constraints of taking to the common-man the know-how on
making disasterresistanthousing, (b) constraints of taking to the common-man the know-how
ofeffectively using local material in house construction, and (c) inadequate
finances.Notwithstanding this, the State Governments in association with the Central
Government have undertaken several housing projects to provide houses to the
needy. Two such schemes are:
1. ValmikiAmbedkarAwasYojna – This project aims at providing shelters orupgrading the
existing shelters of people living below poverty line in slums ofurban areas. A grant of about
Rs.1,000Croresis sanctioned annually under thisproject. HUDCO and the Ministry of Urban
Development and Poverty Alleviationjointly fund the project (www.ciionline.org, 2004).
2. Indira AwasYojna – This project provides grants for the construction of houses to
the people of backward and weaker sections living below poverty line in ruralareas of the
country. Ex-servicemen, and widows or next-of-kin of defensepersonnel and paramilitary
forces killed in service are also included under thisproject. The construction assistance
granted is Rs.20,000for each house in plainsand Rs.22,000 for each house in hilly terrains or
difficult areas. The CentralGovernment bears 20% of this cost and the State Governments take
the rest(www.panasia.org, 2004).
Often, it is found that type-design houses were made with locally availablematerials (). This is
particularly common in post-disasterreconstruction projects. For instance, the Government of
Maharashtra constructedtype-design houses at Vondh village (Gujarat), as a contribution to
post-earthquakereconstruction after the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat. After the
reconstruction,the upper-class citizens of the village did not want to occupy the identically
sizedhouse as their lower-class counterpart in the same reconstructed village. Suchsignificant
sociological issues surfaced when the houses remained un-occupied forover a year.
Intervention of non-governmental groups is desirable to sort out suchissues even before the
reconstruction is undertaken.
6.2 Transportation
The National Highways Development Project (NHDP) aims at 4/6 laning ofabout 14,846 km of
National Highways in the country between 1999 and 2007. Apartfrom the stringent physical
targets, which are perhaps unparallel in the history ofhighway construction, the cost of the
Project is huge – about Rs.54,000Croresat 1999prices. This amount was required over a period

32. 32
of 9 years from 1999-2000 to 2007-08with peaks reaching up to Rs.10,000Croresin mid-period
(Sinha, 2003b). Historically,development of National Highways road infrastructure was
financed from thebudgetary allocations of the government. But, these were of the order of
onlyRs.2,000Crores. Thus, financing of NHDP was not possible from budgetary source
and some innovative financing mechanism was necessary. Hence, a time-plan for
financing was developed for the project .
Sources Amounts (Rs. Crores)
Cess Accruals 20,000
Loan Assistance from International Lending Agencies 20,000
Private Sector Participation 4,000
Market Borrowing 10,000
Total 54,000
The project also required extensive transportation planning so that optimumbenefit may be
obtained from it. Since the project extends over the entire country, it will involve
construction in extreme hot and cold climates as well as in highly humidweather in different
locations.
6.3 Power
As per the 2001 census, 57.3% houses in rural areas and 12.4% in urban areasof India do not
have electricity and rely on other sources for lighting. Nowadays,large apartments and
multiplexes in big cities are being built with captive powergenerating units. These self-sufficient
of power generating systems are being insistedby the Municipal Corporations at the
time of providing clearance to such highbudgetprojects generating systems (Source:
www.unitech-limited.com)
6.5 Natural Hazards
India as a nation is quite susceptible to all forms of natural hazards. Of all
these, floods happen to be the most frequent form of natural disaster faced by the
country. It has 40 million hectares of flood prone lands and on an average 18.6 millionhectares
of its land is flooded annually (www.rrtd.nic.in, 2004).Earthquakes cause the most dangerous
and most devastating natural disasters inIndia. Over 60% of the land area of the country is
vulnerable to earthquakes ofmoderate to severe seismic intensities . Also, the Indian Ocean
isconsidered to be the six most cyclone prone areas of the world. This exposes the8,040 km
long coastline of the country to tropical cyclones . NaturalHazards like earthquakes, floods

33. 33
and cyclones always lead to immense damage andwidespread destruction of civil engineering
structures.
7.0 CONCLUDING REMARKS
In the years ahead, the construction industry in India has to overcome variouschallenges - be it
with respect to housing, environment, transportation, power ornatural hazards. Technocrats
associated with the Indian construction industry needto employ innovative technologies and
skilled project handling strategies toovercome these challenges. The outstanding performance
under demandingsituations in the past will stand in good stead and give confidence to the
Indianconstruction industry to bring about an overall development in the infrastructure ofthe
nation. The gains of large investments in the mega-projects eventually willfeedback to the
construction industry itself in the form of better economy and
improved work conditions.

OVERVIEW OF THE T&D BUSINESS
The Transmission and Distribution (T&D) business of the Company operates on Engineering
Procurement Construction (EPC) basis in power transmission and distribution sector. With its
execution capacities, large manufacturing capabilities for Transmission Tower & Conductor
and Customer focus the Company is recognised as a leading player in India.
The Company has also been expanding its footings into overseas countries and executing EPC
contracts in Algeria, Kenya, Afghanistan and also supplying towers to Nigeria, Ethiopia,
Ghana, Sri Lanka, Oman, etc. With the thrust on privatization of Transmission Lines involving
large investments in BOOT / BOO basis, the division is well positioned to capture the business
opportunity having large manufacturing capacity for towers as well as conductors.
To cater to the ever growing power consumption, rapid industrialization and huge energy
deficit, the Government of India had planned to make large capital expenditure in the 11th
Five Year Plan in the Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution segments and set a
target of adding about 78000 MW of additional capacity. This will enable your company to
cater to the ever growing demand of power transmission and distribution.
Government had initiated several Schemes including Accelerated Power Development and
Reforms Programme (APDRP) and the Rajiv Gandhi GrameenVidyutikaranYojana (RGGVY) for
bringing about qualitative improvements of the power distribution systems and electrification
of all rural households and villages in India. The electrical energy requirement is expected to
grow about 8% per annum.
Gammon India is also looking for international opportunities in transmission and distribution
business in Africa, Middle East and Central Asia.
With the addition of third tower manufacturing plant at Deoli, Wardha district, the capacity
has been enhanced to 110000MT per annum. In addition to this, state of the art Tower Testing

52. 52
Station (R&D Centre) to test towers up to 1200 kV has been set up at Deoli.
During the year, the Company successfully commissioned seven projects covering more than
748 Kms transmission lines of 765 and 400 KV and 2441 km of distribution lines. The company
also tested 735 kV towers for Canada and 400 kV Towers for Indian clients
During the year, the Company was successful in securing transmission line orders for more
than 1375 Kms in various voltage classes from domestic and overseas markets.
The Company has also forayed into manufacturing of high mast poles with the setting up of
its subsidiary, Tranrsrail Lighting Ltd. (TLL) which was commissioned in September 2010. The
Company has in-house design, pole manufacturing capacity of 30000 MT per annum which are
required for Street Lights, Telecom, Stadiums, power transmission & distribution etc.
OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES:
INDIA
Transmission: The T&D business of the Company mainly comes from Central utilities, State
utilities and Private Sector clients. The power sector in India has an estimated capacity
addition of more than 1, 60,000 MW during the period 2012-17, in order to provide
availability of over 1,000 units of per capita electricity by the year 2012.
Distribution: APDRP and RGGVY schemes are expected to accelerate investment in the power
distribution sector. The RGGVY scheme aims to bring about access to electricity to all rural
households by the year 2012.
INTERNATIONAL
The Company sees immense opportunities in the emerging markets such as Africa and Middle
East on account of need for better power transmission network, funding support from
multilateral agencies, power generation plans and spending by oil producing countries. The
company has adopted the route of forming subsidiaries and JV overseas to enter into newer

Market Outlook [ 24.04.2012 ]
The market is likely to start on a subdued note on weak Asian equities. Trading of S&P CNX
Nifty futures on the Singapore stock exchange indicates a fall of 12 points at the opening bell.
Data showing selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) recently may weigh on investor
sentiment. India`s largest power equipment maker Bhel unveils its Q4 results today, 23 May
2012. Tata Power may edge lower after the company after market hours on Tuesday reported
net loss in Q4 March 2012.
Reliance Industries (RIL) and partners BP and Canada`s Niko Resources have reportedly
abandoned the D4 oil and gas block off east coast, underlining the production problems in the
region. The D4 block, situated in the Mahanadi basin, lies north of RIL`s main D6 block in the
neighbouring Krishna-Godavari basin, where gas output has declined sharply over the last
year, marring growth outlook for the Indian energy major and forcing the government to hold
back approvals. Calgary, Alberta-based Niko has a 15% interest in the D4 block, while BP holds
30%. RIL owns the rest and is also the operator of the block.

71. 71
Private sector power generation major Tata Power Company reported consolidated net loss of
Rs 1087.68 crore in the year ended March 2012 (FY 2012) as compared to net profit of Rs
2059.60 crore in the year ended March 2011 (FY 2011). The reason for the reverse turnaround
in FY 2012 was because the company made provisions for Mundra project impairment and
deferred stripping costs. The company made provision of Rs 1800 crore for impairment for
Mundra project and Rs 659.44 crore on account of deferred stripping costs.
Based on assessment of fuel, forex and other operating costs on cash flows for the Mundra
project, a total provision of Rs 1800 crore was made in FY 2012 as impairment loss for the
year, Tata Power said. Given the volatility of coal prices and forex, the assumptions will be
monitored on a periodic basis and necessary adjustments will be made if external conditions
relating to the assumptions indicate that such adjustments are appropriate, Tata Power said.
The company`s consolidated revenue jumped 34% to Rs 25868.87 crore in FY 2012 over FY
2011. The company said the surge in revenue reflected strong operational performance and
higher coal price realizations.
The company reported consolidated net loss of Rs 628.75 crore in Q4 March 2012 as compared
to net profit of Rs 625.02 crore in Q4 March 2011. The reason for reverse turnaround in Q4
March 2012 was because of additional provision made for impairment of Rs 815 crore for
Mundra project, Tata Power said. The impairment is mainly on account of forex losses
incurred due to rupee depreciation, Tata Power said. Consolidated revenue jumped 44% to Rs
7169.85 crore in the Q4 March 2012 over Q4 March 2011.
Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power, said, During the financial year, all our
businesses have registered robust performance. The company crossed a historic milestone of
5000 megawatt (MW) of power generation capacity, reaffirming its position as the largest
integrated power company in India. During this period, we commissioned several large
projects -- Unit 1 of India`s first UMPP in Mundra, Unit 1 of 1050 MW Maithon Power Project
and 25 MW solar plant at Mithapur. Tata Power`s global footprint has been further augmented
through its JV with Exxaro to explore electricity generation opportunities across South Africa,
Botswana and Namibia. We are also pleased to share that Cennergi has been announced as
preferred bidder for two wind projects of 234 MW -- Amakhala 139 MW and Tsitsikamma 95
MW projects. We look forward to early resolution on imported coal compensation issue for
long-term sustenance of power sector. The annual consolidated results reflect non-cash

72. 72
impairment provision for Mundra project and deferred stripping costs. We believe it is
prudent to make such provisions.
The finance ministry on Tuesday introduced the Microfinance Institutions Development and
Regulation Bill in the LokSabha. The Bill proposes to make the RBI the regulator for all micro-finance
institutions (MFIs) on issues like interest rates and transaction costs. All MFIs have
been proposed to be registered with RBI.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Tuesday, 22 May 2012, said the government needs to
make tough decisions on spending and tax generation to boost foreign and local investment. I
recognize that we face pressures on our balance of payments and that the fiscal situation
requires careful management, Mr. Singh said in a speech marking the third anniversary of the
ruling United Progressive Alliance coalition, led by the Congress party.Some people have
questioned the sustainability of our growth process, Mr. Singh said. I am confident we will
prove the skeptics wrong.
Key benchmark indices snapped three-day winning streak on Tuesday, 22 May 2012 as
macroeconomic worries and rupee`s slide to a record low against the dollar hurt investor
sentiment adversely. The BSE Sensex lost 156.85 points or 0.97% to settle at 16,026.41, its
lowest closing level since 9 January 2012.
Macroeconomic worries weighed on the bourses on Tuesday after media reports suggested that
the government will dole out Rs 38500 crore in additional cash subsidy to public sector oil
companies as part of compensation for selling diesel, domestic LPG and kerosene below cost
last financial year. The reports of additional subsidy payment raised concerns it will further
strain the government`s weak finances and cast doubts over the government`s resolve to trim
subsidies in future. The subsidies -- usually on food, fuels and fertilizers -- were part of the
reason the government`s fiscal deficit widened to 5.9% of GDP last fiscal year, exceeding its
4.6% target and raising concerns about the country`s fiscal health. In April, Standard & Poor`s
changed India`s long-term rating outlook to negative and warned a downgrade could follow if
conditions didn`t improve.
In Union Budget 2012-13 unveiled in parliament in mid-March 2012, Finance Minister Pranab
Mukherjee had said that the government intends to bring down subsidy to 1.75% of GDP in the
next 3 years. The government has proposed to keep the subsidy bill under 2% of GDP in 2012-
13, he had said at that time.

The While Paper says that as per data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and
Promotion (DIPP), from April 2000 to March 2011, FDI from Mauritius is 41.8% of the entire FDI
received by India. The two topmost sources of the cumulative inflows from April 2000 to
March 2011 are Mauritius 41.8% and Singapore 9.17%. Mauritius and Singapore with their small
economies cannot be the sources of such huge investments and it is apparent that the
investments are routed through these jurisdictions for avoidance of taxes and/or for
concealing the identities from the revenue authorities of the ultimate investors, many of
whom could actually be Indian residents, who have invested in their own companies, though a
process known as round tripping, the While Paper says.
US stocks closed mostly flat on Tuesday as investors preferred to stay on the sidelines amid
political turmoil in euro zone. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 1.67 points, or 0.01%,
to 12,502.81. The Standard & Poor`s 500 index was up just 0.64 of a point, or 0.05%, to
1,316.63. The Nasdaq Composite index declined 8.13 points, or 0.29%, to 2,839.08.
The G8 world leaders on Saturday, 19 May 2012, affirmed they want Greece to remain in the
euro zone. At a summit of the Group of Eight major economies at the US, G8 leaders failed to
reach an agreement on how to calm the escalating economic crisis in Europe, though the
meeting`s final statement did affirm that leaders wanted Greece to remain in the euro zone.
Also in the joint statement, leaders said that they would take steps to boost their economies.
Greek voters return to the polls on 17 June 2012 after the splintered results of a May 6
parliamentary election left no party able to put together a government. Strong support for
anti-austerity parties has stirred fears that Greece won`t meet pledges it made in return for
its second bailout, potentially leading to its exit from the shared-currency project.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) on Tuesday forecast that
global growth would fall to 3.4% this year from 3.6% in 2011, before accelerating to 4.2% in
2013. Growth across the Paris-based organisation`s 34 members, considered the richest in the
world, would drop this year to 1.6% from 1.8% in 2011 and then reach 2.2% in 2013, roughly in
line with previous estimates.
