 CERTAIN CONVENTIONS; USE OF MARKET DATA

Unless stated otherwise, the financial data in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from our

GAAP and included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Our current fiscal year commenced on April
1, 2006 and ends on March 31, 2007. In this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any
table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding-off.

There are significant differences between Indian GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the degree to
which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will
provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian
accounting practices. Any reliance by Persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the
financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. We
have not attempted to explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included
herein, and we urge you to consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on
our financial data.

Any percentage amounts, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Business”, “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, unless otherwise indicated, have been calculated on the basis of our restated consolidated
and unconsoliadated financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP.

All references to “India” contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus are to the Republic of India,
all references to the “US”, “USA”, or the “United States” are to the United States of America, and all
references to “UK” are to the United Kingdom.

For definitions, please see the section titled “Definitions and Abbreviations” on page iii of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus. In the section entitled “Main Provisions of Articles of Association”, defined
terms have the meaning given to such terms in the Articles.

Use of Market data

Unless stated otherwise, industry data used throughout this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been
obtained from industry sources such as CRIS INFAC (February 2006), NHAI website accessed on
December 9, 2006 and 10th Five Year Plan. Industry sources generally state that the information
contained in those publications has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but that their
accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured. Although we
believe that industry data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is reliable, it has not been
independently verified.

All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include,

For further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see the section titled “Risk
Factors” on page xii of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. By their nature, certain risk disclosures are
only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result,
actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated. We, the
members of the Syndicate and their respective affiliates do not have any obligation to, and do not
intend to, update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date
hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not
come to fruition. In accordance with SEBI requirements, we, the BRLM and the CBRLMs will ensure

Shares and the value of your investment in our Equity Shares could decline.

Unless otherwise stated in the relevant risk factors set forth below, we are not in a position to specify
or quantify the financial or other implications of any of the risks mentioned herein.

Internal Risk Factors

There are criminal cases pending against the Company and our Directors:

There are two criminal cases pending against the Company and our Directors, which are as follows:

• Criminal case pending against the Company under section 29(1)(e) and 29(2)(e) of the
Karnataka Sales Tax Act, 1957 before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Bangalore.

• Complaint pending against Mr. Pallonji Shapoorji Mistry, Mr. Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry and
Mr. Cyrus Pallonji Mistry for allegedly committing an offence of dishonouring hundies under
sections 406, 417, 422, 423 and 468 read with section 120B of the Indian Penal Code, before
the Judicial Magistrate-II, Chennai.

For more details on the above litigations, see the section entitled “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” on page 337 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

A significant part of our business transactions are with Indian governmental or government-funded
entities or agencies and any change in the Indian government policies or focus may affect our
business and results of operations.

Our business is dependent on infrastructure projects undertaken by governmental authorities and other
entities funded by governments or international and multilateral development finance institutions.
Contracts awarded by Indian central, state, local governmental authorities and government bodies
accounted for approximately 54.92 % of our order book as of September 30, 2006. For a breakdown of
our recent historical revenues, see the section entitled “Business” beginning on page 81 of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus. Government focus on and sustained increase in budgetary allocation for
investments in the infrastructure sector, and the development of a structured and comprehensive
infrastructure policy that encourages greater private sector participation as well as increased funding by
international and multilateral development financial institutions in infrastructure projects in India, have
resulted in or are expected to result in the commencement of several large infrastructure projects in
India. If there is any change in the government or in governmental policies, practices or focus that
results in a slowdown in infrastructure projects, our business and results of operations may be
adversely affected. In addition, for projects of value less than Rs.1,000 million, government agencies in
India may grant “purchase preference” to public sector construction companies whose bid for the
project is within 10% of the lowest bidder, and give such public sector enterprises an option to match
the lowest bid.
Unfavourable geopolitical, economic or other developments in our intenational markets could
adversely affect our results of operations in those markets

We have undertaken overseas projects in the past and as of September 30. 2006, overseas projects
constitute 8.65 % of our Order Book. Our strategy includes sustained focus on key international
markets especially the Middle East and Africa. These operations are subject to risks associated with

xii
uncertain political and economic environments, government instability, and legal systems, laws and
regulations, that are different from the legal systems that we are familiar with in India. If any of these
risks materialize our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our profitability and results of operations may be adversely affected in the event of increases in the
price of raw materials, fuel costs, labour or other inputs.

The cost of raw materials, fuel, labour and other inputs constitutes a significant part of our operating
expenses. Our construction operations require various construction raw materials including steel and
cement. Fuel costs for operating our construction and other equipment also constitute a significant part
of our operating expenses, especially in the case of our infrastructure projects. Our ability to pass on
increases in the purchase price of raw materials, fuel and other inputs may be limited in the case of
fixed-price contracts or contracts with limited price escalation provisions. Under the terms and
conditions of fixed-price contracts, we generally agree to provide services for the part of the project
contracted to us for a fixed price, subject to contract variations pursuant to changes in the client’s
project requirements. Fixed-price contracts contain limited or no price escalation clauses covering
increases in the cost of raw materials. We derived approximately 26.65% and 8.19% of our contract
revenue in the year ended March 31, 2006 and in the six months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively, from such fixed-price contracts. Fixed-price contracts accounted for approximately
19.89% of our Order Book as of September 30, 2006. Our actual expense in executing a fixed-price
contract may vary substantially from the assumptions underlying our bid for several reasons, including:

• unanticipated increases in the cost of raw materials, fuel, labour or other inputs;

• unforeseen construction conditions, including the inability of the client to obtain requisite
environmental and other approvals, resulting in delays and increased costs;

• delays caused by local weather conditions; and

• suppliers’ or subcontractors’ failures to perform.

Unanticipated increases in the price of raw materials, fuel costs, labour or other inputs not taken into
account in our bid can also have compounding effects by increasing costs of performing other parts of
the contract. These variations and other risks generally inherent to the construction industry may result
in our profits on a project being less than as originally estimated or may result in our experiencing
losses. Depending on the size of a project, these variations from estimated contract performance could
have a significant effect on our results of operations.

Our construction contracts are dependent on adequate and timely supply of key raw materials such
as steel and cement at commercially acceptable prices.

Timely and cost effective execution of our projects is dependant on the adequate and timely supply of
key raw materials. We have not entered into any long-term supply contracts with our suppliers.
Additionally, we typically use third-party transportation providers for the supply of most of our raw
materials. Transportation strikes by, for example, members of various Indian truckers’ unions and
various legal or regulatory restrictions placed on transportation providers have had in the past, and
could have in the future, an adverse effect on our receipt of supplies. Further, transportation costs have
been steadily increasing, and the prices of raw materials themselves can fluctuate. In addition, the
availability of supplies may not be commensurate with the rate of growth being experienced by the
infrastructure sector. If we are unable to procure the requisite quantities of raw materials in time and at
commercially acceptable prices, the performance of our business and results of operations may be
adversely affected.

We have high working capital requirements. If we experience insufficient cash flows to allow us to
make required payments on our debt or fund working capital requirements, there may be an adverse
effect on our results of operations.

xiii
Our business requires a great deal of working capital. In many cases, significant amounts of working
capital are required to finance the purchase of materials, the hiring of equipment and the performance
of engineering, construction and other work on projects before payments are received from clients. In
certain cases, we are contractually obligated to our clients to fund the working capital requirements of
our projects.

Our working capital requirements may increase if, under certain contracts, payment terms do not
include advance payments or such contracts have payment schedules that shift payments toward the
end of a project or otherwise increase our working capital burdens. In addition, our working capital
requirements have increased in recent years because we have undertaken a growing number of projects
within a similar timeframe and due to the growth of the Company’s business generally. All of these
factors may result, or have resulted, in increases in our working capital needs.

It is customary in the industry in which we operate to provide bank guarantees or performance bonds in
favour of clients to secure obligations under contracts. In addition, letters of credit are often required to
satisfy payment obligations to suppliers and sub-contractors. If we are unable to provide sufficient
collateral to secure the letters of credit, bank guarantees or performance bonds, our ability to enter into
new contracts or obtain adequate supplies could be limited. Providing security to obtain letters of
credit, bank guarantees and performance bonds increases our working capital needs. We may not be
able to continue obtaining new letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance bonds in sufficient
quantities to match our business requirements.

Our expansion plans require significant expenditure and if we are unable to obtain the necessary
funds for expansion, our business may be adversely affected.

We will need significant additional working capital and long-term capital to finance our future business
plans and, in particular, our plan for expansion and purchase of capital equipment as referred to in
“Objects of the Issue” on page 43 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Due to various factors,
including certain extraneous factors such as changes in tariff regulations, interest rates, insurance and
other costs or borrowing and lending restrictions, if any, we may not be able to finance our expansion
plans, or secure other financing when needed, on acceptable commercial terms. Any such situation
would adversely affect our business and growth prospects.

Delays associated with the collection of receivables from our clients may adversely affect our
business and results of our operations.

There may be delays associated with the collection of receivables from our clients, including
government owned, controlled or funded entities and related parties. As of the year ended March 31,
2006 and as of September 30, 2006, Rs. 1,193.99 million, or 60.27% and 1,420.36 million, or 73.92 %,
of our accounts receivable were outstanding for a period of more than six months respectively. Our
operations involve significant working capital requirements and delayed collection of receivables could
adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In addition, we may be subject to additional
regulatory or other scrutiny associated with commercial transactions with government owned,
controlled or funded entities.

Our business is subject to a significant number of tax regimes and changes in legislation governing
the rules implementing them or the regulator enforcing them in any one of those jurisdictions could
negatively and adversely affect our results of operations.

We currently have operations and staff spread across many states of India. Consequently, we are
subject to the jurisdiction of a number of tax authorities and regimes. The revenues recorded and
income earned in these various jurisdictions are taxed on differing bases, including net income actually

xiv
earned, net income deemed earned and revenue-based tax withholding. The final determination of our
tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws and related authorities in each jurisdiction as
well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future operations and
results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned and expenditures incurred. We are
involved in various disputes with the tax authorities. For more details, see “Outstanding Litigation –
Taxation related matters” on page 340 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Changes in the operating
environment, including changes in tax law, could impact the determination of our tax liabilities for any
given tax year.

Taxes and other levies imposed by the central or state governments in India that affect our industry
include customs duties, excise duties, VAT, income tax, service tax and other taxes, duties or
surcharges introduced from time to time. The central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and
subject to change from time to time. Any adverse changes in any of the taxes levied by the central or
state governments may adversely affect our competitive position and profitability.

Projects included in our Order Book may be delayed, cancelled or not fully paid for by our clients,
which could materially harm our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.

Our Order Book does not necessarily indicate future earnings related to the performance of that work.
Order Book projects represent business that is considered firm, but cancellations or scope or schedule
adjustments may occur. We may also encounter problems executing the project as ordered, or
executing it on a timely basis. Moreover, factors beyond our control like contractual risks which are
under the control of our clients may postpone a project or cause its cancellation, including delays or
failures to obtain necessary permits, authorizations, permissions, right-of-way, and other types of
difficulties or obstructions. Due to the possibility of cancellations or changes in project scope and
schedule, as a result of exercises of our clients’ discretion, problems we encounter in project execution,
or reasons outside our control or the control of our clients, we cannot predict with certainty when, if or
to what extent an Order Book project will be performed. Delays in the completion of a project can lead
to clients delaying or refusing to make payment to us of some or all of the amounts we expect to be
paid in respect of the project. Even relatively short delays or surmountable difficulties in the execution
of a project could result in our failure to receive, on a timely basis or at all, the final payments due to us
on a project. These payments often represent a significant portion of the margin we expect to earn on
the project. In addition, even where a project proceeds as scheduled, it is possible that the contracting
parties may default or otherwise fail to pay amounts owed. Any delay, reduction in scope, cancellation,
execution difficulty, payment postponement or payment default in regard to Order Book projects or any
other uncompleted projects, or disputes with clients in respect of any of the foregoing, could materially
harm our cash flow position, revenues and earnings.
Given the long-term nature of the projects we undertake, we face various kinds of implementation
risks.

Most infrastructure construction projects involve agreements that are long-term in nature. Long-term
agreements have inherent risks associated with them that may not necessarily be within our control and
accordingly our exposure to a variety of implementation and other risks, including construction delays,
material shortages, unanticipated cost increases, cost overruns, inability to negotiate satisfactory
arrangements with joint venture partners, and disagreements with our joint venture partners is
enhanced.

For example, business circumstances may materially change over the life of one or more of our
agreements and we may not have the ability to modify our agreements to reflect these changes. Further,
being committed under these agreements may restrict our ability to implement changes to our business
plan. This limits our business flexibility, exposes us to an increased risk of unforeseen business and
industry changes and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

As our revenue structure under each such agreement is set over the life of the agreement (and fluctuates
subject to the built-in adjustment mechanisms contained in such agreement), our profitability is largely

xv
a function of how effectively we are able to manage our costs during the terms of our agreements. The
nature of the industry is such where quantity variations are an integral part of many contracts.
Uncertainty attached to this factor may result in adverse impact in revenues and profitability. If we are
unable to effectively manage costs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be
materially and adversely affected.

An inability to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.

We have experienced high growth in recent years and expect our construction and infrastructure
business to continue to grow as we gain greater access to financial resources. We expect this growth to
place significant demands on us and require us to continuously evolve and improve our operational,
financial and internal controls across our organization. In particular, continued expansion increases the
challenges involved in:

• preserving a uniform work culture, values and work environment across our projects;

• developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial
systems,

• operational, communications, internal control and other internal systems;

• recruiting, training and retaining technical and marketing personnel and key managerial personnel;

• maintaining high levels of client satisfaction; and

• adhering to health, safety, and environmental standards.

Any inability to manage our growth may have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.

Any inability to attract, recruit and retain skilled personnel could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.

Our ability to meet future business challenges depends on our ability to attract, recruit and retain
talented and skilled personnel. We are highly dependent on our senior management, our Directors and
other key personnel, including skilled project management personnel. A significant number of our
employees are skilled engineers and we face strong competition to recruit and retain skilled and
professionally qualified staff. Due to the limited pool of available skilled personnel, competition for
senior management and skilled engineers in our industry is intense. We may experience difficulties in
attracting, recruiting and retaining an appropriate number of managers and engineers for our business
needs. We may also need to increase our pay structures to attract and retain such personnel. Our future
performance will depend upon the continued services of these persons. The loss of any of the members
of our senior management, our Directors or other key personnel or an inability to manage the attrition
levels in different employee categories may materially and adversely impact our business and results of
operations.

Contracts awarded to us by governments or government-backed entities may be unilaterally

terminated for convenience.

One of the standard conditions in contracts typically awarded by governments or government-backed

entities is that the government or entity, as the client, has the right to terminate the contract for
convenience, without any reason, at any time after providing us with notice that may vary from a
period of 30 to 90 days. In the event that a contract is so terminated, our results of operations may be
adversely affected.

xvi
We face significant competition in our business from other civil engineering and construction
companies.

We operate in a competitive environment. Our competition varies depending on the size, nature and
complexity of the project and on the geographical region in which the project is to be executed. We
compete against various civil engineering and construction companies. For more information
concerning our competitors in specific industry and project segments, please see “Business” beginning
on page 81 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. While many factors affect the client decisions, price
is a key deciding factor in most of the tender awards.

We may be unable to compete with larger engineering construction companies for complex, high-value
contracts as well as projects that are of comparatively lesser value, many of whom may have greater
financial resources, better technology, larger manpower, economics of scale and operating efficiencies.
If we are unable to bid for and win engineering construction projects, both large and small, or compete
with larger competitors, we could fail to increase, or maintain our volume of order intake and our
results of operations may be materially adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we can
continue to effectively compete with our competitors in the future, and failure to compete effectively
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our inability to qualify for and win large contracts and compete with other civil engineering and
construction companies could adversely affect our margins and results of operations.

Substantially all our contracts are obtained through a competitive bidding process. Pre-qualification is
key to our winning major projects. In selecting contractors for such projects, clients generally limit the
tender to contractors they have pre-qualified based on several criteria, including experience, technical
ability, past performance, reputation for quality, safety record, financial strength and the size of
previous contracts in similar projects, although the price competitiveness of the bid is usually the most
important selection criterion. We are currently qualified to bid for projects up to certain values,
depending on the client, and therefore may not be able to compete with other construction companies
for larger, higher-value projects. Our ability to bid for and win major projects is dependent on our
ability to show experience working on such large engineering, procurement and construction contracts
and develop strong engineering capabilities and credentials to execute more technically complex
projects.

The auditors report appearing in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been qualified by the
auditors

Our Auditors in their report on our consolidated and unconsolidated financial statement for the years
ended March 31, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and six months ended September 30, 2006 have put
certain qualifications. For more details please refer to the Financial Statements appearing on page 207
of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

We depend on forming successful joint ventures to qualify for the bidding process as well as for
executing certain projects.

In order to be able to bid for some large scale projects, we enter into memoranda of understanding or
joint venture agreements with various other companies to meet capital adequacy, technical or other
requirements that may be required as part of the pre-qualification for bidding or execution of the
contract. In cases where we are unable to forge an alliance with appropriate companies to meet such
requirements, we may lose out on opportunities to bid.

Where we have formed a joint venture, our Company can claim benefits flowing to the joint venture to
the extent of its share in the joint venture as agreed among the joint venture partners. However, the
liability of joint venture partners is joint and several. Therefore, we would be liable for completion of
the entire project if our joint venture partner were to default on its duty to perform. Additionally, our
joint venture partners may not have adequate financial resources to meet their indemnity obligations to

xvii
us. In the event that we were to face a situation where our joint venture partner defaulted on their duties
to perform and we were unable to recover indemnities payable by them , it could have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations

Our portfolio is relatively concentrated in certain large-scale projects.

There are various risks associated with the execution of large-scale integrated projects. Large contracts
may take up a large part of our portfolio, increasing the potential volatility of our results through
increased exposure to individual contract risks. Managing large-scale integrated projects may also
increase the potential relative size of cost overruns and negatively affect our operating margins. Large-
scale integrated projects may cause us to assume portions of the project that have potentially lower
profit margins. In addition, we often execute large-scale integrated projects as joint ventures with other
companies. Should the other members of our joint ventures default on their duties to perform, we
would remain liable for the completion of the project. Our 12 largest contracts in terms of outstanding
value represented approximately 81.49 % of our Order Book as of September 30, 2006. For a
breakdown of our recent historical revenues, see the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 316 of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. We believe that our contract portfolio will continue to be concentrated to a similar
degree in the future. If we do not achieve our expected margins or suffer losses on one or more of these
large contracts, this could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may not be able to participate in certain NHAI road projects

Currently, we are undertaking three road projects for NHAI and as of September 30, 2006, the
outstanding contract value aggregating to Rs. 881.60 million constituting 2.9% of our Order Book.
Owing to non-resolution of certain disputes with NHAI arising from delays in execution of road
projects, we propose to participate in such projects only through the BOT/ BOOT route in association
with Shapoorji Pallonji group and other established entities, which would function as a concessionaire
whilst we would execute the EPC job. Owing to this strategy, our participation in the number of road
projects with NHAI may reduce, which may have an adverse impact on our operations.

Our Promoters will continue to retain majority control in the Company after the Issue, which will
enable them to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval.

Upon completion of the Issue, the Promoters and Promoter Group Companies will beneficially own
79.12 % of our post-Issue equity share capital. As a result, the Promoters will have the ability to control
our business including matters relating to any sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the timing and
distribution of dividends and the election or termination of appointment of our officers and Directors.
This control could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company, impede a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company, or discourage a
potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company
even if it is in the Company’s best interest.

In addition, for so long as the Promoters continue to exercise significant control over the Company,
they may influence the material policies of the Company in a manner that could conflict with the
interests of our other shareholders. The Promoters may have interests that are adverse to the interests of
our other shareholders and may take positions with which we or our other shareholders do not agree.

Our insurance coverage may not adequately protect us against all material hazards.

Our Company has covered itself against certain risks. Our significant insurance policies consist of
among others contractors all risk policy for our projects, special contingency policy for plant,
machinery and equipments, marine transit policy, fire policy for buildings, furniture and fixtures,
workmen’s compensation group personal accident policy etc. In addition, we have obtained separate
insurance coverage for personnel related risks, motor vehicle risks and loss of movable assets risks.
Under certain of our contracts and sub-contracts, we are required to obtain insurance for the project

xviii
undertaken by us, which, in some cases, we have not obtained or we permitted such insurance policies
to lapse prior to the completion of the project. While we believe that the insurance coverage we
maintain would reasonably be adequate to cover all normal risks associated with the operation of our
business, there can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be
honoured fully, in part or on time, nor that we have taken out sufficient insurance to cover all material
losses. Further, we may not have obtained insurance cover for some of our projects that do not require
us to maintain insurance. To the extent that we suffer loss or damage for which we did not obtain or
maintain insurance, that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, the loss would
have to be borne by us and our results of operations and financial performance could be adversely
affected.

Timely and successful completion of our projects is dependent upon our performance and, in case of
many projects, the cooperation of our joint venture partners and sub-contractors.

Typically, construction contracts are subject to specific completion schedule requirements with
liquidated damages chargeable in the event that a project falls behind schedule. We often enter into
joint ventures to take on a project or sub-contract part of the work in a project to various sub-
contractors. In those instances, the completion of the contract for our client depends in part on the
performance of us and of our joint venture partners and sub-contractors. Delay or failure on our part or
on the part of a joint venture partner or sub-contractor to complete its work on a project on time, for
any reason, could result in delayed payment to us or termination of the contract, which in turn may
affect our cash flow and results of operations. Furthermore, failure to adhere to contractually agreed
timelines for any reason could cause damage to our reputation and client base, result in our being
required to pay liquidated damages or lead to forfeiture of security deposits or invocation of
performance guarantees. Damage to our reputation could adversely affect our ability to pre-qualify for
projects, which in turn may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Additionally, joint venture partners or sub-contractors may not have adequate financial resources to
meet their indemnity obligations to us. Losses may derive from risks not addressed in our indemnity
agreements or insurance policies, or it may no longer be possible to obtain adequate insurance against
some risks on commercially reasonable terms. Failure to effectively cover ourselves against risks for
any of these reasons could expose us to substantial costs and potentially lead to material losses. The
occurrence of any of these possibilities may also adversely affect industry perception of our operations
and the perception of our suppliers, clients and employees, leading to an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.

Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed on us by our financing agreements
could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

As of September 30, 2006, we had total secured and unsecured loans of Rs. 4,433.35 million. We may
incur additional indebtedness in the future. Our indebtedness could have several important
consequences, including but not limited to the following:

• a portion of our cash flow will be used towards repayment of our existing debt, which will
reduce the availability of cash to fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions
and other general corporate requirements;

• our ability to obtain additional financing in the future at reasonable terms may be restricted;

• fluctuations in market interest rates may affect the cost of our borrowings, as some of our
loans are at variable interest rates; and

• we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to withstand
competitive pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business,
regulatory and economic conditions.

xix
Most of our financing arrangements are secured by our movable and immoveable assets.. Our accounts
receivable and inventories are subject to charges created in favour of specific secured lenders. Many of
our financing agreements also include various conditions and covenants that require us to obtain lender
consents prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. Failure to meet
these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences for our business.
Specifically, we must seek, and may be unable to obtain, lender consents to incur additional debt,
change our capital structure, increase or modify our capital expenditure plans, create additional charges
on or further encumber our assets or merge with or acquire other companies, whether or not there is
any failure by us to comply with the other terms of such agreements.

Compliance with the various terms of our loans is, however, subject to interpretation and we cannot
assure you that we have requested or received all consents from our lenders that would be advisable
under our financing documents. As a result, it is possible that a lender could assert that we have not
complied with all the terms under our financing documents. Any failure to service our indebtedness,
comply with a requirement to obtain a consent or perform any condition or covenant could lead to a
termination of one or more of our credit facilities, acceleration of amounts due under such facilities and
cross-defaults under certain of our other financing agreements, any of which may adversely affect our
ability to conduct our business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.

Our operations are subject to physical hazards and similar risks that could expose us to material
liabilities, loss in revenues and increased expenses.

While construction companies, including us, conduct various scientific and site studies during the
course of bidding for projects, there are always anticipated or unforeseen risks that may come up due to
adverse weather conditions, geological conditions, specification changes and other reasons.
Additionally, our operations are subject to hazards inherent in providing engineering and construction
services, such as risk of equipment failure, work accidents, fire or explosion, including hazards that
may cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, and
environmental damage.

We may also be subject to claims resulting from defects arising from engineering, procurement and/or
construction services provided by us within the warranty periods stipulated in our contracts, which
typically range from 12 to 60 months from the date of commissioning. Actual or claimed defects in
equipment procured and/or construction quality could give rise to claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses, relating to loss of life, personal injury, damage to property, damage to equipment and
facilities, pollution, inefficient operating processes, loss of production or suspension of operations. Our
policy of covering these risks through contractual limitations of liability, indemnities and insurance
may not always be effective. In some of the jurisdictions in which we operate, environmental and
workers’ compensation liability may be assigned to us as a matter of law. As per AS 7 of the Indian
Accounting Standards, construction companies are required to recognize, in the respective accounting
period, potential losses that may be incurred in the foreseeable future. These liabilities and costs could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We could be adversely affected if we fail to keep pace with technical and technological developments
in the construction industry.

Our recent experience indicates that clients are increasingly developing larger, more technically
complex projects in the civil construction and infrastructure sector. To meet our clients’ needs, we must
regularly update existing technology and acquire or develop new technology for our engineering
construction services. In addition, rapid and frequent technology and market demand changes can often
render existing technologies and equipment obsolete, requiring substantial new capital expenditures
and/or write-downs of assets. Our failure to anticipate or to respond adequately to changing technical,
market demands and/or client requirements could adversely affect our business and financial results.

xx
Our business is subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations. Any failure on our part
to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on our
business.

Our operations are subject to numerous environmental protection laws and regulations, which are
complex and stringent. We regularly perform work in and around sensitive environmental areas such as
rivers, lakes, coastlines and forests. The client may not be able to obtain and handover possession of the
site due to problems related to displacement and rehabilitation of the project affected people.
Significant fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with environmental laws and
regulations and certain environmental laws provide for strict liability for remediation of releases of
hazardous substances, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence
or fault on the part of such person. Furthermore, we incur significant expenditure relating to operating
methodologies and standards in order to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations.

Our clients are generally responsible for obtaining environmental permits required to proceed with the
project. Any failure or inability by our clients to retain the requisite permits may have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations.

Such laws and regulations may expose us to liability arising out of the conduct of operations or
conditions caused by others, or for our own acts including those that were in compliance with all
applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. Sanctions for failure to comply with these laws,
rules and regulations, many of which may be applied retroactively, may include administrative, civil
and criminal penalties, revocation of permits and corrective action orders.

Our inability to obtain, renew or maintain the statutory and regulatory permits and approvals
required to operate our business could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We require certain statutory and regulatory permits and approvals for our business. There can be no
assurance that the relevant authorities will issue such permits or approvals in the timeframe anticipated
by us or at all. Failure by us to renew, maintain or obtain the required permits or approvals may result
in the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain the requisite licenses in a timely manner,
or at all, our operations may be affected.

Claims made by us against our clients for payment have increased over the last few years and failure
by us to recover adequately on future claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our project claims have increased in recent years. Project claims are claims brought by us against our
clients for additional work and costs incurred in excess of the contract price or amounts not included in
the contract price. These claims typically arise from changes in the initial scope of work or from delays
caused by the client. These claims are often subject to lengthy arbitration, litigation or other dispute
resolution proceedings. The costs associated with these changes or client caused delays include
additional direct costs, such as labour and material costs associated with the performance of the
additional work, as well as indirect costs that may arise due to delays in the completion of the project,
such as increased labour costs resulting from changes in labour markets. We have used significant
additional working capital in projects with cost overruns pending the resolution of the relevant project
claims. Project claims may continue in the future. For further information, please refer to the section
titled “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page 337 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.

Failure to recover amounts under these claims could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity,
financial condition and results of operations.

We have certain contingent liabilities that may adversely affect our financial condition.

xxi
Clients of construction companies usually demand performance guarantees from construction
companies as a safety net against potential defaults by the construction companies. Additionally,
construction companies are usually required to have letters of credit issued by their lenders in favour of
their suppliers and other vendors. Hence, construction companies often carry substantial contingent
liabilities for the projects they undertake. As of September 30, 2006, contingent liabilities appearing in
our financial statements are as follows:

Contingent Liabilities As on September 30,

2006 (Rs. In millions)
Estimated amount of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account 451.10
and not provided

Claims against the Company not acknowledged as debt 156.92

Bank guarantees given on behalf of subsidiaries 1.28

In respect of sales tax demands raised by sales tax authorities in matters of 89.63
disallowance of labour and service charges, consumables for which appeal is
pending before various appellate authorities

In respect of income tax matters in appeals 51.36

In respect of excise duty demands in appeals 11.30

In the event that any of these contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition may be adversely
affected.

Our results of operations could be adversely affected by disputes with our employees.

As of November 30, 2006, we employed around 1,473 full-time employees. In addition, as of such
date, we contracted for around 2,695 temporary labourers on our project sites.

While we believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees and contract labour, there
can be no assurance that we will not experience future disruptions to our operations due to disputes or
other problems with our work force, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our employees are organized under three trade unions and significant management time could be lost
in dealing with conflicting aspiration of the three trade unions. Further, the settlement with one of these
Unions expired on December 31, 2006 and the other expires on March 31, 2007 whilst the charter of
demands by one is pending settlement since 2005. The number of contract labourers varies from time
to time based on the nature and extent of work contracted to sub-contractors. We enter into contracts
with sub-contractors to complete specified assignments. We may however be still liable for any non-
compliance or violations by our sub-contractors. Further, any upward revision of wages required by the
government to be paid to contract labourers, or offer of permanent employment or the unavailability of
the required number of contract labourers, may adversely affect our business and results of our
operations.

There are outstanding litigations against the Company, our Directors, our Promoters and our
Promoter Group entities.

We are defendants in certain legal proceedings incidental to our business and operations. These legal
proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals.
Additionally, there are certain instances of regulatory non-compliance by us. In the event of rulings
against us by courts or tribunals in these proceedings or levy of penalties by statutory authorities, we
may need to make payments to others or book provisions against probable future payments, which
could increase our expenses and our current liabilities.

xxii
There are certain claims pending in various courts and authorities at different levels of adjudication
against our Directors and our Promoter Group entities.

For further details of outstanding litigations against the Company, our Directors, our Promoters and our
Promoter Group, please see the section titled “Outstanding Litigations and Material Developments” on
page 337 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

million Equity Shares each to two of our Promoters, FIL and SICL at par by way of conversion of
convertible preference shares in terms of the issue of the preference shares.

For further details regarding such issuances of Equity Shares, please see the section titled “Capital
Structure” beginning on page 29 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

We have not entered into any definitive agreements to use a substantial portion of the net proceeds
of the Issue. Further, the utilization of the Issue proceeds is not subject to monitoring by an
independent agency

We intend to use the net proceeds of the Issue for purchase of capital equipment, repayment of debt and
general corporate purposes and strategic initiatives. See “Objects of the Issue” on page 43 of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to utilize the net proceeds
of the Issue for approximately Rs. 1,250 million of our proposed capital expenditure. The purposes for
which the net proceeds of the Issue are to be utilized have not been appraised by an independent entity
and are based on our estimates and on third-party quotations. In addition, our capital expenditure plans

page 29 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

Our Promoters and certain Promoter Group entities are engaged in business activities similar to
ours.

Our Promoter Directors and certain Promoter Group entities are engaged in business activities similar
to those undertaken by our Company such as construction and civil engineering and this could be a
potential source of conflict of interest.

External Risk Factors

Demand for our construction services depends principally on activity and expenditure levels in the
building and infrastructure sectors.

Demand for our construction services is principally dependent on sustained economic development in
the regions in which we operate. In addition, demand for our infrastructure services is largely
dependent on government policies relating to infrastructure development and budgetary allocations
made by governments for such development, as well as funding provided by international and
multilateral development financial institutions for infrastructure projects. Investment by the private
sector in infrastructure projects is dependent on the potential returns from such projects and is therefore
linked to government policies relating to private sector participation and the sharing of risks and returns
from such projects. A reduction of capital investment in the building or infrastructure sectors for any
reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.

Our operations are sensitive to weather conditions.

We have business activities that could be materially and adversely affected by severe weather. Severe
weather conditions may require us to evacuate personnel or curtail services and may result in damage
to a portion of our fleet of equipment or to our facilities, resulting in the suspension of operations, and
may further prevent us from delivering materials to our project sites in accordance with contract
schedules or generally reduce our productivity. Our operations are also adversely affected by difficult
working conditions and extremely high temperatures during summer months and during monsoon,
which restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources.

We record contract revenues for those stages of a project that we complete, after we receive
certification from the client that such stage has been successfully completed. Since revenues are not
recognized until we make progress on a contract and receive such certification from our clients,
revenues recorded in the first half of our financial year between April and September are traditionally
substantially lower compared to revenues recorded during the second half of our financial year. During

xxv
periods of curtailed activity due to adverse weather conditions, we may continue to incur operating
expenses, but our revenues from operations may be delayed or reduced.

Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our business to
suffer.

India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods and drought in the past
few years. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and may cause
suspension, delays or damage to our current projects and operations, which may adversely affect our
business and our results of operations.

We are subject to risks arising from interest rate fluctuations, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in interest rates could significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations. As
of September 30, 2006, Rs. 3,274.57 million or 74.76% of our total borrowings from banks and
financial institutions were at floating rates of interest. If the interest rates for our existing or future
borrowings increase significantly, our cost of servicing such debt will increase. This may adversely
impact our results of operations, planned capital expenditures and cash flows.

The price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, or an active trading market for our Equity Shares
may not develop.

Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. The trading price of our
Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue due to a variety of factors, including our results of
operations and the performance of our business, competitive conditions, general economic, political
and social factors, volatility in the Indian and global securities markets, the performance of the Indian
and global economy, significant developments in India’s fiscal regime and other factors. There can be
no assurance that an active trading market for our Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this
Issue, or that the price at which our Equity Shares are initially offered will correspond to the prices at
which they will trade in the market subsequent to this Issue.

NOTES TO RISK FACTORS:

1. Public issue of 16,065,000 Equity Shares for cash at a price of Rs. [•] per Equity Share
(including a share premium of Rs. [●] per Equity Share) aggregating Rs. [•] million
comprising. The Issue would constitute 18.37% of the post issue paid-up capital of the
Company. The Net Issue would constitute 18.00% of the post issue paid-up capital of the
Company.

2. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters which has been calculated

 SUMMARY

Overview

We are a civil engineering and construction company in India and we are the flagship infrastructure
construction company of the Shapoorji Pallonji group, a well-known and reputed name in the
construction industry. We have an experience of over four decades in construction industry, which
includes a wide variety of infrastructure projects like marine works, bridges, fly-overs, roads, general
civil engineering works including industrial structures, nuclear power projects, tunneling, pipelines,
LNG storage tanks and special foundation works such as piling, diaphragm wall, pre-stressed anchors,
drilling and grouting and other ground improvement works throughout India. We have also
successfully completed and are currently engaged in execution of projects in Middle East and Africa.

Over the years we have developed an expertise in marine works and we believe that we have an

• Construction of new bridge over River Sone for East Central Railways.

We focus on technology and constantly strive to develop new technologies and innovations in-house to
execute large and complex civil engineering and construction works in a cost-efficient and timely
manner. For instance, we developed the micro piling technology as early as 1970 and subsequently
patented this technology for underpinning works to strengthen existing structures. We have
successfully been using the in-house developed Sahayadri Lift Barge for over 15 years now for our
shallow as well as deep water projects. The Sahayadri Lift Barge has a hydraulic lift crane capable of
lifting 1200 tonnes. .

In the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 5,541.88 million and
Rs. 7,177.67 million, respectively, representing an annual growth rate of 29.52 %. In the six months

1
ended September 30, 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 4,123.85 million. In the years ended
March 31, 2005 and 2006, we incurred a consolidated loss of Rs. (14.71) million and earned a
consolidated net profit for the year of Rs. 47.85 million respectively, while our consolidated net profit
for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was Rs. 48.98 million. Our order book, which includes
the projects awarded to us but where we have not yet commenced work and the unfinished and
uncertified portions of our commenced projects was Rs. 30,303.4 million as of September 30, 2006, out
of which, domestic projects and international projects accounted for Rs. 27,682.50 million and Rs.
2,620.90 million respectively. We have added contracts aggregating Rs. 222.0 million to our order
book during the period October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 which are all domestic projects.

As of September 30, 2006, our work force consisted of approximately 1,473 full time employees and
more than 2,695 temporary labour based around India, enabling us to mobilize our skilled employee
resources depending on the location and the necessary expertise for projects undertaken by us. Our
equipments and skilled employee resources, together with our civil engineering capabilities enable us
to successfully implement modern civil engineering construction methodologies. We enjoy the ISO
9001:2000 BVQI accreditation and have received several awards, certifications and appreciation letters
from clients for our operations and projects such as the appreciation letter from Shell for the
construction of jetty for docking of LNG carriers and other marine works at Hazira,

We are committed to adhering to health, safety and environment policies and practices in the execution
of our projects. We have received the Safety Award 2005 by the National Safety Council of India in
respect for the Sone Bridge, Bihar and ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999 certifications by
BVQI for the construction of elevated viaduct for Delhi Metro Rail Project.

We are a part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is one of the leading conglomerates in India with
over 140 years of experience in the construction industry. Its business interests ranges from
construction, building materials and real estate to aluminum, finance, biotech, power and fuel oil
additives. The Shapoorji Pallonji Group also has a significant presence overseas having been involved
in real estate development and construction since 1970. We are the flagship company of the Shapoorji
Pallonji Group in the infrastructure construction sector.

Corporate History and Structure

We began our operations as a civil construction firm in 1959 as a partnership between the Rodio
Foundation Engineering Limited, Switzerland and Hazarat & Company, India. Consequent to the exit
of Rodio Foundation Engineers and Hazarat & Co, we were reorganized as a company with the name
‘Asia Foundations and Constructions Private Limited’ in 1976 engaged in the business of contractors
and engineers. We became a deemed public limited company as per Section 43A(1) of the Companies
Act from March 18, 1977. Shipping Credit and Investment Corporation of India (SCICI) became a
20% shareholder of our Company in 1993, which shareholding was transferred to ICICI pursuant to the
merger of SCICI with ICICI. We changed the name of our Company from Asia Foundations and
Constructions Limited to Afcons Infrastructure Limited with effect from August 14, 1996. We became
a full fledged public company on November 11, 1997. In 1998 ICICI subscribed to further shares in
our Company which made ICICI the single largest shareholder with 47.37% equity stake in our
Company. Shapoorji Pallonji Group acquired 53.96% shareholding in our Company in 2000 where
47.37% was acquired from ICICI Ltd. and 6.59% was acquired from the Hazarat family.

We have 3 subsidiaries and 1 joint venture company. We also operate through various unincorporated
joint ventures formed for specific projects.

Our Strengths

Significant experience and strong track record

With over four decades of experience as a civil engineering and construction firm, we believe we have
become one of the significant players in the Indian construction industry. We believe that we have
established a track record for executing large and complex civil engineering and construction and
infrastructure contracts in a timely manner with quality work. We have also completed several projects
ahead of schedule including the LNG terminal project at Dahej, Moolchand underpass at Delhi and

2
Cable stayed bridge for Goa Industrial Infrastructure Corporation. We have received ISO 9001:2000
certification for the quality management system that we apply to the design and construction of civil
engineering projects.

Our portfolio of completed construction projects includes over 150 marine works, 100 bridges/ fly-
overs, 2,000 lane kilometres of roads, general civil engineering works relating to industrial structures
including 2 LNG storage tanks and civil work for 2 nuclear power projects.

We believe that the breadth and depth of our experience, among other factors, which among other
things, enables us to pre-qualify for a greater number of potentially higher-margin projects.

Diversified business and versatile capabilities

We have a presence in the different sectors within the Indian construction industry and in different
geographical regions in India. We have also been operating in the Middle East for over three decades
and have expanded into other parts of Asia such as Sri Lanka and Nepal. This variety of project types
in our portfolio enables us to keep our business diversified and reduces our dependence on any one
segment or nature of project and allows us to deal with cyclical risks associated with the industry. The
diversified business interests also allows us to participate in various projects where we believe we can
add value. We believe that through our diversified and long standing experience we have been able to
develop the ability to adapt to and operate in different work conditions and find solutions to complex
construction projects. For example, while undertaking work in relation to the Calcutta metro rail
project, we were able to construct a tunnel in soft soil using a special blade sheld technique. Similarly,
we used the jet-grouting technology for making a tunnel at Liliguma for South Eastern Railways. We
have successfully executed projects in diverse work conditions, including overseas. We have entered
into renewed partnerships for new projects with various existing joint venture partners and have also
received repeat orders from clients demonstrating our ability to work efficiently with various partners.

Focus on technology

We are a technology driven company, with a focus on innovation and development of technologies for
the execution of complex civil construction and engineering projects. We believe our quick adaptability
and solution oriented approach to construction complexities coupled with our technological capabilities
enable us to execute projects in an efficient manner. Some of the technological innovations achieved by
us include micropiling for underpinning works to strengthen structures, stabilizing of hill slopes by
prestressed anchors, river training using underwater geofabric, development of Sahayadri Lift Barge,
which has a capacity of lifting 1,200 tonnes, which was developed more than 15 years back and design
and construction of jack up platforms as early as 1978. We believe that we are the first Indian company
to have indigenously constructed an underground metro station for DMRC at Barakhamba, New Delhi.
. We believe that our sustained focus on technology provides us with a key competitive strength.

In- house developed expertise in marine works

We entered into marine construction in 1963 and over the years have developed an expertise in marine
works. We have constructed more than 150 structures along the Indian coastline which includes jetties,
wharves, slipways, relieving platforms and dry docks. While most of the marine and harbour projects in
India have historically relied on the conventional end-on-method whereby construction was undertaken
from the shore or along the shoreline, we have successfully commissioned marine projects using a
variety of floating devices units and jack up platforms. The development of design and fabrication
work for such innovative floating devices and jack up platforms was done in-house. We own a fleet of
strategic construction equipments including cranes, marine flotilla including jack up platform, barges
and pontoons. We have successfully developed many of our important equipments such as the
Sahayadri Lift Barge and jack up platforms in-house that have allowed us to customize the equipment
to the specific conditions in which we operate. We believe that the increased focus on development of
marine infrastructure by both the Government and private sector will allow us to leverage our expertise
to achieve higher growth.

Long term relationship with reputed clients

3
We have developed long-term relationships with our clients and have received repeat orders from
several of our domestic and international clients. We believe that our client centric approach enables us
to develop an established and long term association with many of our clients. We have successfully
executed several projects overseas and have received repeat orders showing our ability to work in
multicultural environments and with diverse set of clients. For example after our successful association
for the Jamnagar Phase - I project, Reliance Infrastructure Limited has placed cost plus basis contracts
with us for several structures including modification of jetty job. Other clients from whom we have
received repeat orders also include Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, National Thermal Power
Corporation, Cochin Port Trust, Nuclear Power Corporation and DMRC. .

Experienced management team and staff

We have an experienced and dedicated management team and a skilled workforce. Our employees
include over 707 engineers and 269 skilled operators and technicians. We believe that a large pool of
skilled engineering and technical workers is essential to the efficient and effective execution of our
projects. In addition, our senior management comprises highly qualified people with extensive
experience in our business, with engineering or technical backgrounds, which we believe, enhances our
ability to successfully execute large and complex construction projects. Our key managerial personnel
on an average have more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry. Our staff force also
has diversified experience in various types of construction projects, which allows us to staff our
projects with the most appropriate people.

Parentage

We are a part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is one of the leading conglomerates in India and
has been operating for over 140 years in the construction industry. We draw on the expertise and
commercial acumen of our parent company in the construction industry for our own business
development. Owing to the long-standing history of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, we believe it enjoys
strong brand recognition. Further, we believe that our customers, along with Indian financial
institutions, associate the Shapoorji Pallonji Group with quality, reliability and the ability to complete
projects on schedule. We believe that the financial strength of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group and its
track record and visibility, especially in overseas markets allow us to secure and execute bigger
projects.

Our Strategy

Continue to focus on the high growth opportunities in the Indian construction and infrastructure
sector.

We believe that the increasing levels of investment in infrastructure by governments and private parties
will be a major driver for growth in our domestic business in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the
GoI has taken steps to encourage additional investments in infrastructure and construction sector, such
as formulating plans to create SEZs in various areas of India and providing economic benefits to
private sector participants for projects executed on a BOT basis. We intend to take advantage of such
growing opportunities in infrastructure development by strengthening our existing expertise and
continuing to pursue growth opportunities in India. We shall continue our focus on marine projects,
speciality bridges and metro projects and strive to enhance our share in sectors such as Hydro/Tunnels
and Oil and Gas pipelines, where we have recently entered.

Focus on opportunities in the international market

Apart from pursuing opportunities in India, our objective is to expand and strengthen our overseas
operations further by focusing on the regions where we already have a presence, such as the Middle
East and Africa, by capitalizing on our local experience, established contacts with local clients and
suppliers, and familiarity with local working conditions. Middle East is experiencing a recent increase
in construction activities, which makes it an attractive market for us. In addition, we propose to pursue
opportunities in newer regions like Algeria and Sudan where large infrastructure initiatives are being
made with the aid of multilateral institutions and in Yemen which is experiencing increased
construction activities because of the recent discovery of large oil reserves. We currently propose to
focus on the medium size contracts where local competition is lesser and we have the capability to

4
compete with large multi national players for such projects.

We believe that the overseas projects executed by us allow us to earn better margins. Overseas projects
also assist us in building our services and technology portfolio through the global exposure and
international benchmarking of projects. Further, we also use overseas assignments as a retention
measure for our employees.

In pursuing our strategies, we seek to identify markets where we believe we can provide cost and
operational advantages to our clients and distinguish ourselves from other competitors. In order to
expand our operations, we also seek to identify joint venture/ consortium partners whose resources,
capabilities and strategies are complementary to ours and who are likely to enhance our business
operations in such regions. We shall continue our focus on marine projects, specialty bridges and strive
to enhance our share in sectors such as Hydro/Tunnels and Oil and Gas pipelines, where we have
recently entered.

Increased focus on EPC contracts and design & build contracts.

As of September 30, 2006, engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and design & build contracts
constituted 37.78 % of our total order book. We intend to use our engineering capabilities to enable us
to provide value added engineering services for clients and win more EPC contracts. Owing to complex
nature of projects being envisaged, there is an increased demand for engineering capabilities. We
believe that EPC projects will enable us to realize greater added value on construction projects through
provision of comprehensive integrated solutions. .

Leverage on the strength of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group

The Shapoorji Pallonji Group is already an established player in the construction and real estate
industry catering to diverse sectors. We are the flagship company of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group in the
infrastructure construction sector. We intend to build upon and draw on its established presence and the
financial strengths. Accordingly, we also intend to bid for and participate in large BOT infrastructure
projects, including road projects in consortium with a Shapoorji Pallonji entity, which would function
as the concessionaire with the construction/ EPC job being executed by us. We will participate and
expand in those sectors where we derive the necessary strengths from the Shapoorji Pallonji Group in
terms of technical expertise, execution skills and an established presence.

Enhance profitability and capital efficiency

Infrastructure construction is a highly competitive, capital-intensive activity. We believe that the

optimal utilisation of financial, human and other resources is a key element for achieving success in
this industry, and we shall continue focusing on the strategy of concentrating on a limited number of
high-value/ high margin projects in order to maintain execution quality, reliability and timeliness.
Going forward, our strategy will be to continue focusing on our capital utilisation and structure to
optimise returns, by actively analysing and identifying projects and assigning priority to projects,
which are likely to maximise returns. We also intend to improve capital efficiency by striving for
accelerated completion of projects and better contract and relationship management with the client. We
propose to continue to mitigate our risks by including effective and equitable dispute resolution clauses
in our contracts.

Participitate in road projects only in consortium with BOT/ BOOT entities

We believe that our ability to effectively manage our cash flows and resultant profitability is adversely
affected owing to high level of commodization of the road contracts directly awarded by agencies like
NHAI in the competitive bidding route and high level of delays experienced in execution of these
projects on account of delays in acquiring land. Typically under the BOT/ BOOT route, 80% of the
land is acquired prior to the award of contracts and therefore, the likelihood of delays in execution and
consequent adverse impact on cash flow is reduced. Therefore, currently, we propose to participate in
road projects only through the BOT/ BOOT route in association with Shapoorji Pallonji group and
other established entities, which would function as a concessionaire whilst we would execute the EPC
job.

5
Attract, train and retain qualified personnel

We understand that maintaining quality, minimising costs and ensuring timely completion of
engineering and construction projects depends largely on the skill and workmanship of our employees.
As competition for qualified personnel is increasing among construction companies in India,
particularly with the entry of international engineering and construction companies into the Indian
market and as we pursue greater growth opportunities, we seek to attract, train and retain qualified
personnel by increasing our focus on training our staff in advanced engineering and construction
technology and skills. We frequently conduct well-designed training programmes for our staff. A total
of 16,984 training man-hours have been spent on employee training between periods April 2005 to
November 2006. We also offer our engineering and technical personnel a wide range of work
experience and learning opportunities by providing them with an opportunity to work on a variety of
large, complex construction projects and forming cross functional teams with the objective of giving
them an opportunity to innovate. In addition, we give our employees opportunities to work on wide
variety of projects including overseas assignments.

Develop and maintain strong alliances with strategic partners.

We have strategic alliances for the execution of our projects with companies including Dywidag,
Germany, Per Aarsleff, Denmark, Kajima, Japan and Walter Mining, Australia. We intend to continue
to establish strategic alliances and share risks with companies, whose resources, skills and strategies are
complementary to and are likely to enhance our business opportunities, including the formation of joint
ventures and consortia to achieve competitive advantage. In the light of our focus on technology, we
also seek partners who can assist us in improving our technological capabilities in execution of our
projects.

Book Building Process

Book building, with reference to the Issue, refers to the process of collection of Bids on the basis of the
Red Herring Prospectus within the Price Band. The Issue Price is finalized after the Bid/ Issue Closing
Date. The principal parties involved in the Book Building Process are:

1. The Company;

25
2. BRLM;

3. CBRLMs;

4. Syndicate Member who is an intermediary registered with SEBI or registered as brokers with
BSE/NSE and eligible to act as Underwriters. The Syndicate Member is appointed by the
BRLM and the CBRLMs; and

5. Registrar to the Issue

This being an issue for less than 25% of post issue equity capital of the Company, the SEBI Guidelines
read with rule 19(2) (b) of the SCRR, have permitted an issue of securities to the public through the
100% Book Building Process, wherein not less than 60% of the Net Issue shall be allocated on a
proportionate basis to QIBs, out of which 5% shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis
to Mutual Funds only. The remainder shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to QIBs
including the Mutual Funds subject to valid bids being received at or above the Issue Price. If at least
60% of the Net Issue cannot be allocated to QIBs, then the entire application money will be refunded
forthwith. Further, not less than 10% of the Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a
proportionate basis to Non Institutional Bidders and not less than 30% of the Net Issue shall be
available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail Individual Bidders, subject to valid Bids
being received at or above the Issue Price. We will comply with the SEBI Guidelines and any other
ancillary directions issued by SEBI for this Issue. In this regard, we have appointed the BRLM and the
CBRLMs to manage the Issue and to procure subscriptions to the Issue.

Pursuant to amendments to the SEBI Guidelines, QIB Bidders are not allowed to withdraw their Bid(s)
after the Bid /Issue Closing Date and for further details see the section titled “Terms of the Issue” on
page 370 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

The process of Book Building under SEBI Guidelines is subject to change from time to time and
investors are advised to make their own judgment about investment through this process prior to
making a Bid or Application in the Issue.

Illustration of Book Building Process and Price Discovery Process (Investors should note that this
example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the Issue)

Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assume a price band of Rs. 20 to Rs.
24 per share, offer size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders out which one
bidder has bid for 500 shares at Rs. 24 per share while another has bid for 1,500 shares at Rs. 22 per
share. A graphical representation of consolidated demand and price would be made available at the
bidding centers during the bidding period. The illustrative book given below shows the demand for the
shares of the Company at various prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

Bid Quantity Bid Price (Rs.) Cumulative Quantity Subscription

500 24 500 16.67%
1,000 23 1,500 50%
1,500 22 3,000 100%
2,000 21 5,000 166.67%
2,500 20 7,500 250%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the Company
is able to offer the desired number of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. Rs. 22 in the
above example. The Company in consultation with BRLM and the CBRLMs, will finalise the Issue
Price at or below such cut off price, i.e. at or below Rs. 22. All bids at or above the Issue Price and cut
off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in the respective categories.

Steps to be taken by the Bidders for bidding:

26
• Check eligibility for bidding (please refer to the section titled “Issue Procedure - Who Can
Bid” on page 376 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus);

• Ensure that the Bidder has an active demat account and the demat account details are correctly
mentioned in the Bid cum Application Form;

• If the Bid is for Rs. 50,000/- or more, ensure that you have mentioned your PAN and attached
copies of your PAN card to the Bid Cum Application Form (see section titled “Issue
Procedure” on page376 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus; and

• Ensure that the Bid cum Application Form is duly completed as per instructions given in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus and in the Bid Cum Application Form.

enter into an Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriters for the Equity Shares proposed to be
offered through this Issue. It is proposed that pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the

their respective Syndicate Members do not fulfill their underwriting obligations.

 OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE
The objects of the Issue are to achieve the benefits of listing on the Stock Exchanges and the raising of
capital for our capital expansion plans. We believe that listing will enhance the Company’s brand
name, its visibility among investors and would provide liquidity to our existing shareholders. We

commissions and other expenses associated with the Issue (the “Net Proceeds”) for the following
purposes:

• Purchase capital equipment;

• Repayment of debt;
• General corporate purposes and strategic initiatives.

Our fund requirements are based on our current business plan and are based on management estimates.
In view of the dynamic nature of our industry, we may have to revise our business plans from time to

capital expenditure programmes and /or reducing or increasing the amount of repayment of debt.

Proposed use of net proceeds from the Issue

The following table summarizes the use and the year wise implementation of Net Proceeds of the Issue:

using the Net Proceeds of the Issue, we will reduce the amount of repayment of high cost debt.

The main objects clause and the objects incidental or ancillary to the main objects clause of the
Memorandum of Association enable us to undertake our existing activities and the activities for which
funds are being raised by us in the Issue.

other services such as water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, and urban transport.
Construction activity is an integral part of a country’s infrastructure and industrial development and
hence can rightly be termed as the basic input for socio-economic development. Its presence and
contribution is immense in terms of providing huge opportunities for direct and indirect employment.
In India, construction is the second largest economic activity after agriculture. Construction investment
accounts for nearly 11 per cent of the GDP and roughly 50 per cent of the Gross Fixed Capital
Formation. Construction investments are expected to grow to the tune of Rs 8,300 billion, at a CAGR
of 8 per cent, over the next 3 years (FY06 to FY08) (source: CRIS INFAC Construction Annual
Review Report, February 2006 (“CRIS INFAC”).

Over the past ten years, the Indian economy has been one of the fastest growing economies in the
world, witnessing an average growth of over 6% per year. The following chart presents a comparison
of India’s GDP growth rate with the growth rates of certain other countries from 1993 to 2003.

India recently has had a high GDP growth rate. India’s GDP growth rate has increased from 4% in FY
2003 to an estimated 7.5%-8% in FY 2006 (Source: ET Intelligence .com & CSO). This growth in the
Indian economy has fuelled demand for quality infrastructure services.

Investment requirements

Despite recent progress, India has lagged behind many other developing and developed nations in
terms of infrastructure development. The following chart illustrates the gap between India and other
selected countries for 2003, in terms of certain indicators of infrastructure development:

Investment in infrastructure, given the intent of the Government is expected to rise. The increase in
infrastructure development in India is driven by political will and new sources of funding. Independent
research studies and estimates from the Plan Documents suggest that there will be an investment of
approximately Rs. 8,618 billion into various Indian infrastructure projects (sectors including power,
roads, ports, railways, airports, pipelines, irrigation and water supply, urban infrastructure) over the
next five years. Construction companies are expected to benefit from this momentum.

The Central and State Governments of India are actively engaged in finding the appropriate policy
framework for the infrastructure sector which gives the private sector adequate confidence and
incentives to make large-scale investments, but which also preserves adequate checks and balances
through transparency, competition and regulation. Accordingly, there has been a shift towards
financing of infrastructure development to the private sector, primarily through the use of Public
Private Partnerships (“PPPs”), which are based on a partnership between the public and the private
sectors for the purpose of delivering a project or service traditionally provided by the public sector.
PPPs are designed to mobilise financial resources and realise benefits from private sector efficiencies to
meet the growing demand for infrastructure services.

Infrastructure projects (underway and proposed) indicates prospective investments of Rs 4,356 billion,
growing at a CAGR of 9 per cent over the next 3 years (2005-06 to 2007-08) driven by investments in
roads, water supply and sanitation and irrigation, which are supported by regulation/government
policies, increasing private sector participation and availability of funds (budgetary supports and
multilateral funds). (source: CRIS INFAC)

Construction companies in India are typically civil engineering companies which undertake
construction work on a contract basis, in sectors like roads, ports, marine structures, power projects etc.
All construction projects have eligibility criteria. Companies who have the requisite financial strength
and experience typically meet these eligibility criteria and undertake projects independently. Smaller
companies generally have to enter into joint ventures to meet the eligibility criteria and to spread the
financial and business risk. Foreign engineering and construction companies typically participate in the
infrastructure development in India through joint development ventures with Indian construction
companies.

THE PORTS SECTOR IN INDIA

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial and statistical data in the following discussion is derived from
Indian Ports Association’s website. The data may have been re-classified by us for the purpose of
presentation.

India has an extensive coastline of 6,000 kilometres, which is serviced by 13 major ports and 184
intermediate and minor ports. Ports are gateways to India’s International trade by sea and handle almost
90% of India’s foreign trade in terms of volume and 75% in terms of value are routed through the ports
system. Indian ports handled a total traffic of 518 million tonnes in financial year 2005 with the ports in
the western states of Gujarat and Maharashtra having a 42% market share. The volumes handled over
the last five years are as follows:

Regulatory Framework

In India, ports are classified as major ports and intermediate and minor (“I&M”) ports. The 13 major
ports are governed by the GOI through the Ministry of Surface Transport (“MOST”). Each port is
governed by a port trust (responsible for administration, control and management of port operations)
reporting to MOST. The tariffs of individual ports were regulated by MOST and by the Tariff
Authority for Major Ports (“TAMP”).

The I&M ports fall outside the ambit of the GOI, but are still subject to the provisions of The Indian
Port Act, 1908. The development and management of intermediate and minor ports is the responsibility
of state governments. State governments are free to initiate policy matters (like privatization, pricing of
services, etc.) in respect of the minor ports in their respective states. States administer their ports either
through state maritime boards, as in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, or through government
departments. Maritime boards have structures and powers similar to those of the Board of Trustees of a
major port.

Privatization of Ports

The GOI has decided to corporatise the major ports as well as privatize them in a phased manner.
Almost all the major ports in India are in the public sector and currently lack commercial orientation
because, in part, to a number of restrictions imposed by the central government. This has led to
corporatisation of ports as it ensures that the ports achieve a desirable level of autonomy and
accountability. The GOI has privatized some of the berths in major ports specifically to handle
containers. Some of them are as follows:

Port Company Container Terminal Operator

With the above projections in view, all the major ports identified those projects, which would meet
the challenges of the growing international traffic demand of the country along with developing
the port facilities at par with world standards for giving a concrete shape to the vision and strategy
laid down in the Maritime policy document over a period of 10 year’s time horizon relating to
projects related to port development like construction of jetties berths etc, procurement,
replacement or upgradation of port equipment, deepening of channels for improvements in drafts
projects related to port connectivity and other related schemes. The total investment required is
about Rs. 603,385 million. The program is proposed to be implemented through public/private
partnership. (Source: National Maritime Development Program)

Future potential

A Feasibility study for a World class Container Terminal at Ennore Port has been completed.
Further action in this regard is being taken up by the port authorities. Ennore Port is also set to
enter in chemical handling operation through private sector participation.

Government has approved the proposal for award of contract for Development of International
Container Transhipment Terminal at Cochin on BOT basis to Dubai Port International and
accordingly the license agreement between Cochin Port Trust and India Gateway Terminal
Private Limited, 100% subsidiary of the Dubai Port International was signed in FY2005.

In the process of reviving the Sethu Samundram Ship Navigation Channel Project, techno-
economic viability and environment impact assessment studies on the project completed.
Based on the study, the Government has decided to implement the project, through a SPV by
the name “Sethusamundram Corporation Limited”. The project envisages cutting of a ship
canal to connect Gulf of Mannar & Palk bay, so that most of the ships, depending on draft
required, moving between east and west coast of the country could have a continuous
navigable sea route around the peninsula, which will save up to 400 nautical miles and up to
36 hours of sailing time for ships between east & west coast.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Port has signed a license agreement with Gateway Terminals India
Private Limited, a joint venture company formed by Maersk A/S- CONCOR Consortium for
operation of the Third Container Terminal on Build Operate Transfer basis.

The Centre has approved the JNPT plan to extend its existing CFS facilities over a 300-
hectare land to facilitate cargo movement after the commencement of the port’s third terminal
in the next year.

JNPT is contemplating development of fourth container terminal in two phases of 1.5 million
TEU capacity each. The first phase is estimated to cost Rs. 2,567 crores and will be
operational in FY 2010. The second phase is estimated to cost Rs. 2,134 crores and will be
operational in FY 2014. JNPT is conducting a feasibility study for the same. (Source: JNPT
Website).

Mumbai port is developing an offshore container terminal on BOT basis in two phases — the
first phase envisages construction of two berths with a capacity to handle 0.8 million TEU and
the second phase involves construction of a third berth to take up the total capacity to 1.2
million TEU.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)

62
The National Highways Authority of India was constituted by an act of Parliament, the National
Highways Authority of India Act, 1988. It is responsible for the development, maintenance and
management of National Highways entrusted to it and for matters connected or incidental thereto. The
National Highways Authority of India was operationalised in Feb, 1995.

The NHAI mandate covers the following:

1. The primary mandate of NHDP is through host of funding options including from external
multilateral agencies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JBIC etc. Work mainly
comprises of strengthening and four laning of high-density corridors around 13,146 Kms.
The components are:
• Golden Quadrilateral (GQ)- 5,846 Kms connecting Delhi-Kolkata-Chennai-Mumbai
• North-South-East-West Corridor (NSEW)- 7,300 Kms connecting Kashmir to
Kanyakumari and Silchar to Porbandhar
2. Providing road connectivity to major ports.
3. Involving the private sector in financing the construction, maintenance and operation of National
Highways and wayside amenities
4. Improvement, maintenance and augmentation of the existing National Highways network.
5. Implementation of road safety measures and environmental management.
6. Introducing Information Technology in construction, maintenance and all operation of NHAI.

In addition to implementation of NHDP, the NHAI is also responsible for implementing other projects
on National Highways (mainly road connectivity to major ports in India) at an estimated cost of Rs.
4,000 crore (at 1999 prices) (USD 0.913 billion).

NHAI is now responsible for implementing on National Highways of length around 24,000 Km.

NHAI proposes to finance its projects by a host of financing mechanisms. Some of them are as
follows:-

Through budgetary allocations from the Government of India.

Cess
In a historic decision , the Government of India introduced a Cess on both Petrol and Diesel. This
amount at that time (at 1999 prices) came to a total of approximately Rs. 2,000 crores per annum.
Further, Parliament decreed that the fund so collected were to be put aside in a Central Road Fund
(CRF) for exclusive utilization for the development of a modern road network. The developmental
work that it could be tapped to fund, an the agencies to whom it was available were clearly defined as :

1. Construction and maintenance of State Highways by State Governments.

2. Development of Rural Roads by State Governments
3. Construction of Rail over- bridges by Indian Railways
4. Construction and maintenance of National Highways by NHDP and Ministry of Road Transport &
Highways

Today, the Cess contributes between Rs 5 to 6 Thousands crores per annum towards NHDP.

Loan assistance from international funding agencies

Loan assistance is available from multilateral development agencies like Asian Development Bank and
World Bank or Other overseas lending agencies like Japanese Bank of International Co - Operation.

Market borrowing
NHAI proposes to tap the market by securities cess receipts

Private sector participation

Major policy initiatives have been taken by the Government to attract foreign as well as domestic
private investments. To promote involvement of the private sector in construction and maintenance of
National Highways, Some Projects are offered on Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis to private
agencies. After the concession period ,which can range up to 30 years, this road is to be transferred
back to NHAI by the Concessionaries.

63
NHAI funds are also leveraged by the setting up of Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).The SPVs will be
borrowing funds and repaying these through toll revenues in the future. This model will also be tried in
some other projects. Some more models may emerge in the near future for better leveraging of funds
available with NHAI such as Annuity, which is a variant of BOT model

Fund Requirement

The financial arrangement for the development of GQ and the corridors has been made as:

Rs. in Crore
Cess 20,000
World Bank/Asian Development Bank Loan Assistance 20,000
Market Borrowings 12,000
Private Sector 6,000
Total Rs. 58,000 Crore
$(12,608) Million

National Highways Development Project (NHDP)

NHAI is mandated to implement National Highways Development Project (NHDP) which is

• India 's Largest ever highways project

• World class roads with uninterrupted traffic flow

As National Highways comprise about 2% of the total road length in the country and yet carryover
40% of total traffic, the first and the foremost task mandated to the NHAI is the implementation of
NHDP- comprising of the Golden Quadrilateral and North-South & East-West Corridors. In addition to
the projects under NHDP, the NHAI is also currently responsible for about 1,000 km of Highways
connecting major Ports & also on National Highways 8A, 24, 6, 45 & 27. Highways length with NHAI
currently is around 14,162 km.

NHDP (Phase I & II) was launched in 1999 covering a length of nearly 14,000 km at an estimated cost
of Rs. 54,000 crore (at 1999 prices) (USD 12.317 billion) and NHDP (Phase III) was launched in 2005
for upgradation and 4 laning of 10,000 km of selected high-density corridors of National Highways at
an estimated cost of Rs. 55,000 crore (at 2005 prices) (USD 12.544 billion).

NHDP's prime focus is on developing International standard roads with facilities for uninterrupted flow
of traffic with:

• Enhanced safety features

• Better Riding Surface.
• Better Road Geometry
• Better Traffic Management and Noticeable Signage.
• Divided carriageways and Service roads
• Grade separators
• Over bridges and Underpasses
• Bypasses
• Wayside amenities

The main components of NHDP include:

(a) Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) b) North-South & East-West Corridors
Length :- 5846 km Length :-7 ,300 km

Future Outlook

Roads to contribute nearly 34 per cent share in infrastructure investments

Investments in roads sector are likely to increase from Rs 550 billion in the past 3 years (FY2002-03 to
FY2004- 05) to Rs 757 billion in the next 3 years. Activity in the roads sector is centred around NHDP
and to some extent PMGSY. The development of state roads has been concentrated in only certain
states. NHDP and PMGSY are expected to constitute more than 60 per cent of total planned activities
in the sector over the next 3 years.

Restructuring and expansion of existing programmes

The government plans a massive facelift of the entire road network in the country over the next 10
years, and NHDP is the flagship project in the sector. To expedite its implementation, the project has
been restructured and now involves seven phases (entailing the building, upgrade and maintenance of
51,411 km of roads), at a cost of Rs 1,871 billion.

The Centre has till date approved only Phase I (GQ), Phase II (NSEW) and Phase IIIA,
totalling 18,279 km. NHAI, the implementing authority for the projects, has done preliminary work
on the remaining phases and the Cabinet has given in-principle approval for Phases IIIB to VII.

Since the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government took over at the Centre, the scope and

66
estimates of the PMGSY programme have also been revised, after the government unveiled the Bharat
Nirman programme, where the development of rural roads is one of the core activities.

The government has approved investments to the tune of Rs 1,466 billion in NHDP (up to
Phase IIIA) and PMGSY. Of this, Rs 300 billion has already been spent on NHDP and Rs 183 billion
on PMGSY. Over the next 5 years, Rs 511 billion will be spent on NHDP Phase I, Phase II and Phase
IIIA.

Increasing thrust on private sector participation

The government is also inviting greater private sector participation, which is evident from the fact that
all the phases from Phase IIIA onwards have been planned predominantly on build-operate-
transfer (BOT) basis. In contrast, most of the contracts in the North South East West corridor
(NSEW) and all projects in PMGSY have been planned on cash contract basis. CRIS INFAC feels that
it is also logical, as private players will participate enthusiastically only when a particular stretch gives
them adequate returns.

GQ substantially completed; NSEW and Phase IIIA take off well in 2005, but delays galore

After a lull in 2003 and most of 2004, the road sector activity again gathered momentum towards the
end of last year. Within NHDP, with the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) project nearing completion, the
implementation focus has shifted to NSEW and Phase IIIA. These two programmes are currently being
implemented simultaneously, and the crux of NHAI's awarding activity will be centred on them, at
least in the next 2 years.

Expected Levels of Roads Activity under NHDP

Phase IIIB to Phase VII: Still on the drawing board Most of these projects (cumulatively over
30,000 km) are still in the conceptualisation stage, though in some cases certain stretches have
been identified. NHAI has planned to complete all of them on BOT-toll or BOT- annuity basis.

67
The Railway Sector in India

The Indian Railways, with a capital base of about Rs. 55,000 crore, is the principal mode of
transportation for carrying bulk freight and long distance passenger traffic. Railways are cost effective
and also environment friendly. Yet, capacity and efficiency constraints in the freight segment have,
over the years, led to a significant shift from railways to road transport. A renewed focus of the
Railway Ministry on efficiency, customer care, and commercial principles is aimed at reversing this
trend. The recent turn around in railway operations suggests that Indian Railways are poised for rapid
growth in capacity expansion.

Investments

The Railways has a large number of ongoing projects, which require huge funds for completion. The
Tenth Five Year Plan provides on capacity augmentation and improvement of the quality of services.
The Golden Quadrangle and its diagonals, which comprise 25 per cent of the total broad gauge route
km. carry more than 65 per cent of the total freight traffic and more than 55 per cent of the total
passenger throughput, would be given priority. The capacity augmentation of the system and
improvement in quality of services would be carried out through technological upgradation and
modernisation. While augmenting capacity in various sections, route-wise study based on origin and
destination survey would be carried out.

The Tenth Plan identified certain thrust areas in the railways sector. These are: capacity expansion
through modernisation and technological upgradation, improvement in the quality of service,
rationalisation of tariff in order to improve the share of rail freight in the total traffic and to improve the
safety and reliability of rail services. The Tenth Plan had targeted a relative low growth rate of 5 per
cent in freight. The average annual growth rate of freight (originating tonnage) in the first three years of
the Tenth Plan is likely to be 6.8 per cent. This is commendable and it is necessary to continue to
maintain this growth rate in future
and ideally also step it up in view of the need for increasing the share of railways in freight traffic and
ensuring a cost-efficient mode of transport, which will benefit the economy in the long run. This will
require augmenting capacity, particularly on the main routes which are currently over-stretched. The
rate of growth of passenger traffic (in terms of number of passengers) is only around 2.02 per cent,
against 4.93 per cent in case of passenger kms, indicating an increase in the average lead of pssenger
traffic, is a welcome development on the whole. It is expected that the Railways will be able to achieve
its targets for passenger traffic of Tenth Plan.

National Rail Vikas Yojana

The Government announced the National Rail Vikas Yojana (NRVY) in August, 2002 in order to
remove capacity bottlenecks in the critical sections of the Indian Railway Network. It comprises of
three components:
° Strengthening of the Golden Quadrilateral (GQ) and its diagonals.
° Strengthening of rail connectivity to ports and development of multi – modal corridors to the
hinterland.
° Construction of four mega bridges:

Bogibeel Rail-cum-Road bridge across river Brahmaputra, Munger Rail cum Road bridge
across river Ganga, Patna Ganga bridge and a bridge over river Kosi.

The NRVY projects, except for the mega bridges, are targeted to be completed in five years (2002-07).
The Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) was set up as a SPV to execute the first two components of
NRVY. The RVNL is to undertake project development and mobilisation of resources along with
execution of projects on a commercial format, using largely non-budgetary funds. The Ministry of
Railways has assigned 53 capacity enhancement projects to RVNL. Of these, 32 projects lie on the GQ
and 21 projects relate to connecting ports and strengthening hinterland connectivity. The RVNL
projects involve doubling of 1911 km, gauge conversion of 1640 km, new lines of 522 km, railway
electrification of 1916 km. and strengthening of about 10,000 km. of GQ and its diagonals for running
of freight trains t 100 km. per hour (kmph). The total route kilometres. under various types of
developmental works is about 16,019 kms.

68
The Union Government has envisaged a budgetary support of Rs.3,000 crore for RVNL, including
Rs.1,500 crore as external aid from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which shall be available to
RVNL as Government of India.s equity. The rest of the funding requirements will have to be arranged
by RVNL by devising various financing models.

The initiative of implementing financially viable projects through RVNL needs to be reinforced. Three
such SPVs have already been formed and more are being developed specially in the port connectivity
projects. RVNL also intends to execute identified projects through BOT and market borrowings.
Project-specific SPVs may raise resources from the market or from external resources against identified
incremental revenues from the project. Some of the SPVs could be in the form of joint ventures with
stake holders. Others could be based on BOT/ Build-Operate-Lease-Transfer (BOLT) mode.

Public-Private Partnership in Running of Trains

Indian Railways have already set up Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation for taking all
steps to boost up rail based tourism, including running of tourist trains. In fact village on wheels and
hill trains are being run. In addition, railways are tying up with different state governments for running
tourist trains on the pattern of palace on wheels and Deccan Odyssey Railway may explore the
possibility of Public Private Partnerships in running tourist trains. The operational part relating to
traffic management and use of railway tracks may continue to vest in the railways.

Railways have taken steps recently for private participation in goods traffic, such as allowing
competition in movement of container traffic and wagon investment schemes. However, Railways may
explore the possibility of public-private partnership in running goods trains between specified
destinations as suggested for tourist trains. This would help in adding modern rolling stock that would
add to the traffic and revenues of the railways.

Rail Budget 2006-07

The rail budget has planned an outlay of Rs. 23,475 crore for the year 2006-07. The thrust of the
Annual Plan is on early completion of throughput enhancement works, safety, development and
expansion of the network. The outlay on safety related plan heads, is Rs.2,922 crore for Track
Renewals, Rs.590 crore for Bridges and Rs.1,518 crore for Signalling &Telecommunications, Rs.436
crore for contstruction of ROBs/RUBs and Rs.275 crore for manning of unmanned level crossings. For
national projects need based funds to be released by Ministry of Finance of Rs. 2,092 crore. As per the
rail budget outlined the investment strategy as giving the highest priority to route-wise throughput
enhancement works on high-density network. In addition, all pending throughput enhancement works
to be completed in the next three years.

Increased share in freight traffic:

Railways have taken a number of steps during Tenth Plan period to improve railways’ share in freight
traffic. These include rationalization of freight tariff structure, user benefit measures such as trainload
benefit for all block rakes and commodities, flexible rating policy for specific pairs of stations,
incentive to premier customers generating high freight earnings for traffic originating from sidings,
computerisation of freight movements, provision of in-house facilities etc. Other measures taken by the
railways include provision of linkages to ports, introduction of more high speed wagons and
refrigerated parcel vans. The Railway Budget for 2006-07 has also announced a number of initiatives
aimed at increasing the freight traffic.

The Delhi-Mumbai (Western) and Delhi-Howrah (Eastern) dedicated freight corridor projects:

The rail budget announced a plan for the Dedicated Multimodal High Axle Load Freight Corridor with
computerised control on Western and Eastern routes to be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs.
22,000 crores. The Cabinet has approved the proposal, with railways to go in for EPC & PPP and an
SPV has been formed to construct the freight corridors. The project would take at least five years for
implementation (after the new organizational structure is established, project report finalized, approval
obtained and funding firmed up) and assuming that the current estimates are correct, the average annual
requirement would work out to more than Rupees 4500 crore. This requirement would be over and

69
above the normal requirements of the Railways for renewal and replacement, acquisition of rolling
stock, multiplexing, modernization, projects for new lines and conversion into broad gauge etc.

The Task Force noted that the development of a dedicated freight corridor is highly capital intensive.
The provision of such a corridor and its operation must be on commercial principles if quality services
are to be provided on a sustainable basis. This would require setting up of higher productivity
standards, entailing the adoption of norms, benchmarks, policies and practices, which may be
significantly different from what
are being followed by the Indian Railways.

In an interim draft report by RITES, an Indian Railways undertaking, the construction cost of the east
and west corridors has gone up a whopping Rs 13,000 crore to Rs 35,000 crore, from the earlier
estimate of Rs 22,000 crore. According to the draft report, the eastern corridor would cover 1,280 km,
of which 280 km would be on a new alignment. Similarly, the western corridor will cover 1,483 km, of
which 276 km will be diverted. The report awaits ministry comments.

THE WATER SUPPLY SECTOR IN INDIA: (water supply, sanitation and irrigation):

After roads, urban infrastructure and irrigation sectors are expected to be the biggest
contributor to the total infrastructure investments expected to materialise over the next 3 years. (CRIS
INFAC)

Water needs to be managed as an economic asset rather than a free commodity. India, which has 16per
cent of the world’s population, has only 2.45 per cent of the world’s land resources and 4 per cent of
the world’s fresh water resources. Monsoon rain is the main source of fresh water, with 76 per cent of
the rainfall occurring between June and September under the influence of the southwest monsoon. The
average annual precipitation in volumetric terms is 4,000 billion cubic metres (BCM). The average
annual flow out of this is 1,869 BCM, the rest being lost in infiltration and evaporation. Due to
topographical and other constraints, only 690 BCM can be utilised. (Source: 10th Five Year Plan)

Rainfall in India, as in all tropical countries, is confined mainly to the southwest monsoon months of
June to September. The all India annual average rainfall is 1,170 mm. Irrigation constitutes the main
use of water and is thus the focal issue in water resources development. As of now, irrigation use is 84
per cent of the total water use. However, due to growing population, the per capita availability of water
is steadily going down, declining from 5,000 cubic metres a year at the time of Independence to abut
2,000 cubic metres as of now. This, coupled with urbanisation and industrialisation, has raised
concerns about the deteriorating quality of surface and ground water. (Source: 10th Five Year Plan)

According to the 54th round of National Sample Survey (NSS) an estimated 70 per cent of urban
households reported being served by tap and 21 per cent by tube well or hand pump. Sixty-six per cent
of urban households reported having their principal source of drinking water within their premises,
while 32 per cent had it within 0.2 km. Forty-one per cent had sole access to their principal source of
drinking water, which means that 59 per cent were sharing a public source. Fifteen per cent of
households did not get sufficient drinking water from their principal source, between April and June,
May being the worst month. The general financial position of the urban water supply and sewerage
sector is very poor. Only a few providers in large urban areas generate sufficient revenues to make any
contribution to investment. In medium and small towns these entities typically do not collect sufficient
revenue to cover operating expenses. There is no matching of revenues against expenditures. Collection
efficiency is very low. (Source: 10th Five Year Plan)

Investment Needs of the Water Supply Sector:

Water supply and sanitation schemes are capital intensive and, consequently, they are financed from
the budget, borrowings from financial institutions or the market, and external funding agencies. Most
State Governments have a policy relating to the financing pattern of the schemes, with shares for the
urban local bodies (ULB), State Government, and institutional finance.

The Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO) has estimated that
by the end of the year 2007, the urban population of the country is likely to be around 363 million. For
achieving 100 per cent coverage by the end of the Tenth Five Year Plan and taking into account the

70
urban population already covered, the requirement of funds has been assessed. In regard to sewerage
and sanitation facilities, it is assessed that 57 per cent of the urban population is likely to be covered by
end of Ninth Plan. The estimates are based on the proposed coverage of 75 per cent of urban
population. Moreover, 35 per cent of population already covered by the end of the Eighth Plan would
need augmentation/rehabilitation and is included in calculation of fund requirements. Based on these
assumptions of requirements to be met, the CPHEEO has estimated the following requirements during
the Tenth Plan:

Water Supply – Rs 282,400 million

Sanitation – Rs 231,570 million
Solid waste management – Rs 23,226 million
Total – Rs 537,198 million
(Source: Tenth Five Year Plan)

HUDCO has been financing water supply projects for the past 30 years, especially those in small and
medium towns, against State Government guarantee. As much as 28 per cent of the cumulative loan
sanctions for urban infrastructure of HUDCO is towards water supply. During the Ninth Plan period,
HUDCO has sanctioned 101 water supply schemes for financial assistance of Rs 48,280 million.
However the main problem in financing of urban water supply and sanitation is the sustainability of the
present model which is heavily dependent on the State Governments’ willingness and capacity to
provide guarantees for institutional finance, apart from meeting the agreed state share of the project
cost. Inability of the states to provide committed shares of project costs, and the tendency to sanction
more works than financially feasible, has led to a situation of large numbers of incomplete works,
project delays, and cost over-runs. (Source: 10th Five Year Plan)

The states such as Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh are the
few states to have witnessed substantial investments in irrigation sector over the last 3 years.
Over the next 5 years, around Rs 400 billion worth of irrigation projects have been envisaged by
the State of Andhra Pradesh alone, and therefore, it will be the key focus area of implementation of
irrigation projects. Central assistance, though very minimal, is largely routed through the Accelerated
Irrigation Benefit Programme, under which the funds are allocated to help the states to fund the
uncompleted irrigation projects. (source: CRIS INFAC)

WSS projects are state-driven projects, but the implementation focus remains restricted mainly to
cities. The key states to have witnessed substantial investments in the last 3 years in the implementation
of the WSS projects are Gujarat, Delhi, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Uttar
Pradesh. Over the next 3 years, besides the above states, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh are
expected to witness substantial part of the total WSS investments.

Key catalysts to investments:

• Increasing levels of urbanisation (water projects)
• Proactive states (as mentioned above)
• Political interests
• Multilateral funding (For details see the tables in the Annexure)
• Improvement in the credit ratings of a few urban local bodies, helping them to issue bonds

A number of projects have been mooted in various metros to alleviate the water supply situation. Most
projects focus on pumping in water from distant sources. Desalination is another option being looked
into. There are only seven large desalination plants in India for the conversion for city sewage into
process water.

A water augmentation mechanism is a method by which water that would normally run off into rivers
or seas, and so would not be accessible for drinking or agriculture, is harvested or stored so that it can
be used. Augmentation methods include storing water in underground tanks for use in the dry season;
collecting rainwater on the rooftops of homes, schools etc; and watershed scale rainwater harvesting
which can directly be tapped or can recharge the surrounding aquifer. Of these methods, watershed
scale rainwater harvesting has received the most attention in the literature and on the ground in India,
and is part of official water policy in at least five states. The simplest and most common method of
watershed-scale rainwater harvesting is the construction of a checkdam across a seasonal drainage.
During heavy rains the ground becomes saturated and rainwater flows quickly along the surface instead

71
of percolating into the earth, 39 flowing into drainage channels and then into streams, rivers, and
ultimately the ocean. A checkdam built across a drainage channel prevents the water from flowing
downstream, creating a small reservoir. (Source: Stanford Center for International Development
(SCID)’s Fifth Annual Conference on Indian Economic Policy Reform)

Rainwater harvesting presents a lot of opportunities for players in the construction sector. This has been
taken up as a thrust area in Chennai and Delhi and must be given priority in all towns in the country.
The Delhi Jal Board has taken up more than 80 works to harvest rain water and intends to cover about
200 buildings. The Delhi Government has approached the Ministry of Urban Development and Poverty
Alleviation to amend building bye-laws to make rain water harvesting mandatory in the Capital.
(Source: 10th Five Year Plan)

O&M contacts: a potential growth area

The basic principle of this approach is to contract out the operation and maintenance of a water supply
and network it to a private sector operator. The operator is compensated on the basis of achieving pre
agreed operational target levels and would have provision for incentives and penalties for achieving
over performance and under performance respectively. A short term contract is a comparatively low
risk option as compared to a long term BOT contracts or concession agreements.

Sectoral reforms and private participation can further boost investments in the sector

The water segment has witnessed some level of public/private participation in the projects. The
successful implementation of the desalination project in Chennai and the expected growth in this
particular segment along the Coromondel Coast are the few success stories of PPP models, which need
to be repeated on a larger and wider scale. (source:CRIS INFAC)

The Industrial Sector in India

After a slowdown in industrial investments between FY99 and FY03, investments have picked
up mildly in FY04. The decline in investments between 1998-99 and 2002-03 was largely due to the
absence of major capacity expansions in most manufacturing sectors. In the same period, the
operating rates reached high levels, due to demand growth and lack of investments. Therefore, the
sustained demand growth and the high operating rates triggered the current upturn in industrial
investments.

CMIE's quarterly capital expenditure data demonstrates an upward trend in investments as announced,
proposed as well as those under implementation. Notably, while proposed investments picked up in
January 2004, a surge in projects announced and an increase in projects under implementation began in
July 2004.

Trends in investments: Proposed, announced and under implementation

(source: CRISIL & CMIE)

72
The average annual investment is expected to increase from Rs 220 billion over the past 7 years
(1998-99 to 2004-05) to Rs 865 billion over the next 5 years (2005-06 to 2009-10), propelled by
investments in oil and gas, and metals. Other industries such as automobiles, petrochemicals, cement,
paper and fertilisers, too, are expected to record healthy investments from FY06 to FY10. (Source:
CRIS INFAC)

This huge investment is likely to result in around Rs 650 billion of construction demand from industrial
projects over the next 5 years. (Assuming civil construction to account for nearly 15 per cent of the
total capital cost of the projects.) (Source: CRIS INFAC)

Sector-wise industrial investments (Rs billion)

High current capacity utilisations and demand growth are expected to result in major capacity additions
in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

The Oil & Gas Sector in India

The strong growth of the Indian economy and infrastructure and the resulting increased demand in the
energy industry has resulted in the need to develop an efficient distribution network for oil and natural
gas transportation. The use of natural gas in the energy industry is also expected to increase
significantly. The current low per capita usage of pipes in India, the recent discovery of large oil and
gas reserves in various pasts of India, the Government’s decision to permit oil retailing by the private
sector and the proposed national pipeline grid formulated by GAIL and infrastructure development
project of other major players in the energy industry in India are expected to increase engineering
construction activity in the Indian energy industry.

In response to the recent privatization initiatives of the Government, large oil and natural companies in
India including IOC, RIL, Essar Oil, BPCL and ONGC have commenced significant oil and natural gas
exploration and transportation infrastructure projects. Certain of these companies also propose to
establish dedicated distribution networks.

There is expected to be a tremendous increase in the volumes of transportation facilities in the oil and
gas industry. Investments worth Rs 1,702 billion are expected in the oil and gas sector over the next 5
years as compared with Rs 998 billion of investments made in the last 7 years. A substantial part of the
additional investments is expected to come from oil and gas exploration and development (E&D).

The oil and gas E&D is going to witness substantial investments, mainly on account of the New
Exploration and Licensing Policy announced to increase the reserves and improve the domestic supply
of crude oil and natural gas. Accordingly, NELP I, II, III and IV have been announced, which will
generate an estimated investment of Rs 147.5 billion. (source:CRIS INFAC)

73
Investments in oil and gas (Rs billion)

However, civil construction accounts for only 4 per cent of the total capital costs of oil and gas E&D
projects, whereas its proportion is as high as 80 per cent in the case of oil and gas pipeline projects.
Therefore, the key investments from the oil and gas sector for the construction industry are
expected to come through the oil and gas pipeline projects. (source: CRIS INFAC)

The Power Sector in India

The power industry in India has been characterized by acute shortages in supply of power in
comparison with the level of its demand. In FY 2004 and 2005, demand for electricity exceeded supply
by an estimated 11% and 12% respectively in terms of total requirements, on average (Source: CEA
Executive Summary).

The deficit numbers in the table below illustrates the pressing need for increased investment at a faster
pace in India:

(source: CEA)

Although power generation capacity in India has increased substantially in recent years, it has not kept
pace with the growth in demand or the growth of the economy generally.
The concluded Ninth Plan (1996-2001) targeted a capacity addition of 40,245 MW, of which 24.4%
was to come from hydro capacity, 73.4% was to come from thermal capacity, and 2.2% was to come
from nuclear capacity.
Ministry of Power (MoP) estimates indicate that only around 19,251 MW, or 48% of the planned
capacity addition, were achieved in aggregate during the Ninth Plan.

74
The following table gives the achievement of hydro-power as against the target in each of the Eighth,
Ninth and Tenth Plans:

*Implementation of the Tenth Plan not completed. Table shows achievement of the Tenth Plan to the
end of March 2005. [Source: Planning Commission]
Historically, most of the power generated in India has been through thermal sources, with
approximately 25% coming from the hydro sector as shown in the graph below.

Installed Generation Capacities (YE 2001 - YE 2005) by Generation

Source: CEA Executive Summary March 2005

Internationally, the normal ratio of hydro to thermal power generation is 40:60 (Source: NHPC). The
Government is therefore increasing its efforts to improve hydro-power generation through its future
plans and also due to the inherent benefits of the hydro-power. These include:

° Hydro-power is cost effective as water is abundantly available, at zero cost;

° Hydro-power plants can handle variations in frequencies and in peak and off-peak
requirements without
° significant added cost, unlike other modes of generation;
° Hydro-power plants are also more desirable from a social perspective, as they provide
integrated solutions
° for power, drinking water and irrigation, without damage to the environment; and
° Hydro-power has lower operating cost than thermal power.

The Government has recognized these benefits and therefore plans to increase the use of hydro-power
in the future plans as illustrated in the table below :-

The Tenth Plan and the Eleventh Plan envisage a capacity addition as set out in the table below. The
effort is to close the deficit by the end of the Eleventh Plan to ensure “Power for all by 2012”. Of the
total capacity addition, 62% would be in thermal plants, and over 30% in hydro-power plants and the
rest would be nuclear power.

million per MW as per our Company’s estimate) for civil construction. MoP has identified 162 projects
in 16 states, which will provide approximately 50,000 MW. Feasibility Reports for 132 projects have
been received by MoP and of that number, 103 projects have been finalized. Feasibility Reports have

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS MODELS

Types of contract

There are different models currently being adopted for PPPs in India which vary in the distribution of
risks and responsibility between the public and the private sectors for financing, constructing,
operating, and maintaining assets. Two important types of contracts - BOT and BOOT - are explained
below, as well as certain other contracts generally used in the Indian construction industry.

Build-Operate-Transfer (“BOT”)

Under this type of PPP contract, the Government grants to a contractor a concession to finance, build,
operate and maintain a facility for a concession period. During the life of the concession, the operator

77
collects user fees and applies these to cover the costs of construction, debt-servicing and operations. At
the end of the concession period, the facility is transferred back to the public authority. BOT is the most
commonly used approach in relation to new highway projects in India, and is also used in the energy
and port sectors.

Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (“BOOT”)

BOOT contracts are similar to BOT contracts, except that in this case the contractor owns the
underlying asset, instead of only owning a concession to operate the asset. For example, in the case of
hydroelectric power projects, the contractor would own the asset during the underlying concession
period and the asset would be transferred to the Government at the end of that period pursuant to the
terms of the concession agreement.

Design-Build-Finance-Operate (“DBFO”)

The NHAI is planning to award new highway contracts under the DBFO scheme, wherein the detailed
design work is done by the concessionaire. The NHAI would restrict itself to setting out the exact
requirements in terms of quality and other structures of the road, and the design of the roads will be at
the discretion of the concessionaire. The NHAI expects the DBFO scheme will improve the design
efficiency, reduce the cost of construction and reduce time to commence operations, in addition to
giving the concessionaire greater flexibility in terms of determining the finer details of the project in
the most efficient manner.

Item Rate Contracts

These contracts are also known as unit-price contracts or schedule contracts. For item rate contracts,
contractors are required to quote rates for individual items of work on the basis of a schedule of
quantities furnished by the customer. The design and drawings are provided by the customer. The
contractor bears almost no risk in these contracts, except escalation in the rates of items quoted by the
contractor, as it is paid according to the actual amount of work on the basis of the per-unit price quoted.

Engineering Procurement Construction/Lump-Sum Turnkey Contracts

In this form of contract, contractors are required to quote a fixed sum for the execution of an entire
project including design, engineering and execution in accordance with drawings, designs and
specifications submitted by the contractor and approved by the customer. The contractor bears the risk
of incorrect estimation of the amount of work, materials or time required for the job. Escalation clauses
might exist in some cases to cover, at least partially, cost overruns.

Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) Contracts

Typically an operations and maintenance contract is issued for operating and maintaining facilities.
This could be in sectors such as water, highways, buildings and power. The contract specifies routine
maintenance activities to be undertaken at a predetermined frequency as well as break-down
maintenance during the contract period. While the contractor is paid for the routine maintenance based
on the quoted rates which are largely a function of manpower, consumables and maintenance
equipment to be deployed at the site, any breakdown maintenance is paid for on a cost-plus basis.

Front End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) Contracts

Ordinarily, FEED work is carried out as a part of a consultancy assignment where the consultant
provides FEED data to the project owner to enable it to take a decision on making a tender for
construction. In addition to this, the FEED is also a prerequisite to enable a contractor to bid for
EPC/turnkey projects. A FEED project can be an independent consultancy project or a part of an
EPC/turnkey contract.

Price Preference

In tenders for the projects funded by multilateral agencies such as the World Bank and the Asian
Development Bank, where there is international competitive bidding, generally there is a clause of

78
price preference of 7.5% for domestic bidders. In this case, if the bid by the domestic player is 7.5%
higher than the lowest international bid then the employer has to award the project to the domestic
bidder. This would be subject to certain conditions specific to the project. In case the domestic bidder
is in joint venture with an international bidder, then the domestic bidder should have share of 51% or
more in the joint venture.

Purchase Preference

In government tenders for projects normally less than Rs. 100 crores, there is a purchase preference
clause wherein a tender submitted by a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) will entail 10% price
preference over other bidders. In this case, if the bid by the PSU is 10% higher than the lowest bidder,
the employer reserves the right to award the project to the PSU if they can match the price of the lowest
bidder.

Approaches

In the case of large projects, players have adopted two critical approaches, in order to obtain and
execute the contract. While contractors have entered into joint ventures (JVs) in order to secure the
projects, project execution is undertaken largely through subcontracting.

Joint ventures (JVs)

JVs are usually project-specific and are contractual obligations among either domestic or
foreign contractors. Besides pre-qualifying for projects, JVs are formed to reduce the risk exposure in
large projects and combine specialist skills. JVs are usually project-specific, with revenues/profits
shared on a pre-determined basis.

For instance, in the case of road projects, all the stretches under Phase III have been planned on BOT
basis, and therefore, will need higher level of investments. This has compelled a lot of small
contractors to join hands with bigger players, and together on a joint venture basis, bid for the projects.
The bigger player benefits from the joint venture as, to some extent, his equity and project completion
risk is shared by the other smaller members of the joint venture (consortium). The bigger player is
likely to get higher margins as compared to smaller contractors as he assumes greater equity risk in the
project. The bigger sized projects will also bring in economies of scale and thereby can reduce the
construction cost to some extent.

Sub-contracting

Subcontract arrangements are widespread in the construction industry, because of the diversified nature
of the jobs in a project. Moreover, the use of sub-contract arrangements enable larger construction
companies to maintain flexibility in operations and lower their overheads, while enabling the relatively
smaller contractors to gain expertise and increase their turnover.

In sub-contracting, smaller companies undertake tasks that are not undertaken by the principal
contractor, or specialised tasks, through a sub-contract arrangement. Currently, only up to 30 per cent
of the project can be sub- contracted. Sub-contracting practices are adopted by both large and small
contractors. Large contractors, sub-contract work in India to smaller contractors, while in the
international construction market, they undertake sub-contracting activity for larger foreign players.

While sub-contracting decreases the capital investment of prime contractors, it enhances the likelihood
of timely completion and lowers overhead expenses. It also results in lower profit margins for
contractors.

patented this technology for underpinning works to strengthen existing structures. We have
successfully been using the in-house developed Sahayadri Lift Barge for over 15 years now for our
shallow as well as deep water projects. The Sahayadri Lift Barge has a hydraulic lift crane capable of
lifting 1200 tonnes. .

In the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 5,541.88 million and
Rs. 7,177.67 million, respectively, representing an annual growth rate of 29.52 %. In the six months

81
ended September 30, 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 4,123.85 million. In the years ended
March 31, 2005 and 2006, we incurred a consolidated loss of Rs. (14.71) million and earned a
consolidated net profit for the year of Rs. 47.85 million respectively, while our consolidated net profit
for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was Rs. 48.98 million. Our order book, which includes
the projects awarded to us but where we have not yet commenced work and the unfinished and
uncertified portions of our commenced projects was Rs. 30,303.4 million as of September 30, 2006, out
of which, domestic projects and international projects accounted for Rs. 27,682.50 million and Rs.
2,620.90 million respectively. We have added contracts aggregating Rs. 222.0 million to our order
book during the period October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006 which are all domestic projects.

As of September 30, 2006, our work force consisted of approximately 1,473 full time employees and
more than 2,695 temporary labour based around India, enabling us to mobilize our skilled employee
resources depending on the location and the necessary expertise for projects undertaken by us. Our
equipments and skilled employee resources, together with our civil engineering capabilities enable us
to successfully implement modern civil engineering construction methodologies. We enjoy the ISO
9001:2000 BVQI accreditation and have received several awards, certifications and appreciation letters
from clients for our operations and projects such as the appreciation letter from Shell for the
construction of jetty for docking of LNG carriers and other marine works at Hazira,

We are committed to adhering to health, safety and environment policies and practices in the execution
of our projects. We have received the Safety Award 2005 by the National Safety Council of India in
respect for the Sone Bridge, Bihar and ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999 certifications by
BVQI for the construction of elevated viaduct for Delhi Metro Rail Project.

We are a part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is one of the leading conglomerates in India with
over 140 years of experience in the construction industry. Its business interests ranges from
construction, building materials and real estate to aluminum, finance, biotech, power and fuel oil
additives. The Shapoorji Pallonji Group also has a significant presence overseas having been involved
in real estate development and construction since 1970. We are the flagship company of the Shapoorji
Pallonji Group in the infrastructure construction sector.

Corporate History and Structure

We began our operations as a civil construction firm in 1959 as a partnership between the Rodio
Foundation Engineering Limited, Switzerland and Hazarat & Company, India. Consequent to the exit
of Rodio Foundation Engineers and Hazarat & Co, we were reorganized as a company with the name
‘Asia Foundations and Constructions Private Limited’ in 1976 engaged in the business of contractors
and engineers. We became a deemed public limited company as per Section 43A(1) of the Companies
Act from March 18, 1977. Shipping Credit and Investment Corporation of India (SCICI) became a
20% shareholder of our Company in 1993, which shareholding was transferred to ICICI pursuant to the
merger of SCICI with ICICI. We changed the name of our Company from Asia Foundations and
Constructions Limited to Afcons Infrastructure Limited with effect from August 14, 1996. We became
a full fledged public company on November 11, 1997. In 1998 ICICI subscribed to further shares in
our Company which made ICICI the single largest shareholder with 47.37% equity stake in our
Company. Shapoorji Pallonji Group acquired 53.96% shareholding in our Company in 2000 where
47.37% was acquired from ICICI Ltd. and 6.59% was acquired from the Hazarat family.

We have 3 subsidiaries and 1 joint venture company. We also operate through various unincorporated
joint ventures formed for specific projects.

Our Strengths

Significant experience and strong track record

With over four decades of experience as a civil engineering and construction firm, we believe we have
become one of the significant players in the Indian construction industry. We believe that we have
established a track record for executing large and complex civil engineering and construction and
infrastructure contracts in a timely manner with quality work. We have also completed several projects
ahead of schedule including the LNG terminal project at Dahej, Moolchand underpass at Delhi and
Cable stayed bridge for Goa Industrial Infrastructure Corporation. We have received ISO 9001:2000

82
certification for the quality management system that we apply to the design and construction of civil
engineering projects.

Our portfolio of completed construction projects includes over 150 marine works, 100 bridges/ fly-
overs, 2,000 lane kilometres of roads, general civil engineering works relating to industrial structures
including 2 LNG storage tanks and civil work for 2 nuclear power projects.

We believe that the breadth and depth of our experience, among other factors, which among other
things, enables us to pre-qualify for a greater number of potentially higher-margin projects.

Diversified business and versatile capabilities

We have a presence in the different sectors within the Indian construction industry and in different
geographical regions in India. We have also been operating in the Middle East for over three decades
and have expanded into other parts of Asia such as Sri Lanka and Nepal. This variety of project types
in our portfolio enables us to keep our business diversified and reduces our dependence on any one
segment or nature of project and allows us to deal with cyclical risks associated with the industry. The
diversified business interests also allows us to participate in various projects where we believe we can
add value. We believe that through our diversified and long standing experience we have been able to
develop the ability to adapt to and operate in different work conditions and find solutions to complex
construction projects. For example, while undertaking work in relation to the Calcutta metro rail
project, we were able to construct a tunnel in soft soil using a special blade sheld technique. Similarly,
we used the jet-grouting technology for making a tunnel at Liliguma for South Eastern Railways. We
have successfully executed projects in diverse work conditions, including overseas. We have entered
into renewed partnerships for new projects with various existing joint venture partners and have also
received repeat orders from clients demonstrating our ability to work efficiently with various partners.

Focus on technology

We are a technology driven company, with a focus on innovation and development of technologies for
the execution of complex civil construction and engineering projects. We believe our quick adaptability
and solution oriented approach to construction complexities coupled with our technological capabilities
enable us to execute projects in an efficient manner. Some of the technological innovations achieved by
us include micropiling for underpinning works to strengthen structures, stabilizing of hill slopes by
prestressed anchors, river training using underwater geofabric, development of Sahayadri Lift Barge,
which has a capacity of lifting 1,200 tonnes, which was developed more than 15 years back and design
and construction of jack up platforms as early as 1978. We believe that we are the first Indian company
to have indigenously constructed an underground metro station for DMRC at Barakhamba, New Delhi.
. We believe that our sustained focus on technology provides us with a key competitive strength.

In- house developed expertise in marine works

We entered into marine construction in 1963 and over the years have developed an expertise in marine
works. We have constructed more than 150 structures along the Indian coastline which includes jetties,
wharves, slipways, relieving platforms and dry docks. While most of the marine and harbour projects in
India have historically relied on the conventional end-on-method whereby construction was undertaken
from the shore or along the shoreline, we have successfully commissioned marine projects using a
variety of floating devices units and jack up platforms. The development of design and fabrication
work for such innovative floating devices and jack up platforms was done in-house. We own a fleet of
strategic construction equipments including cranes, marine flotilla including jack up platform, barges
and pontoons. We have successfully developed many of our important equipments such as the
Sahayadri Lift Barge and jack up platforms in-house that have allowed us to customize the equipment
to the specific conditions in which we operate. We believe that the increased focus on development of
marine infrastructure by both the Government and private sector will allow us to leverage our expertise
to achieve higher growth.

Long term relationship with reputed clients

We have developed long-term relationships with our clients and have received repeat orders from
several of our domestic and international clients. We believe that our client centric approach enables us

83
to develop an established and long term association with many of our clients. We have successfully
executed several projects overseas and have received repeat orders showing our ability to work in
multicultural environments and with diverse sets of clients. For example after our successful
association for the Jamnagar Phase - I project, Reliance Infrastructure Limited has placed cost plus
basis contracts with us for several structures including modification of jetty job. Other clients from
whom we have received repeat orders also include Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, National
Thermal Power Corporation, Cochin Port Trust, Nuclear Power Corporation and DMRC. .

Experienced management team and staff

We have an experienced and dedicated management team and a skilled workforce. Our employees
include over 707 engineers and 269 skilled operators and technicians. We believe that a large pool of
skilled engineering and technical workers is essential to the efficient and effective execution of our
projects. In addition, our senior management comprises of highly qualified people with extensive
experience in our business, with engineering or technical backgrounds, which we believe, enhances our
ability to successfully execute large and complex construction projects. Our key managerial personnel
on an average have more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry. Our staff force also
has diversified experience in various types of construction projects, which allows us to staff our
projects with the most appropriate people.

Parentage

We are a part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is one of the leading conglomerates in India and
has been operating for over 140 years in the construction industry. We draw on the expertise and
commercial acumen of our parent company in the construction industry for our own business
development. Owing to the long-standing history of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, we believe it enjoys
strong brand recognition. Further, we believe that our customers, along with Indian financial
institutions, associate the Shapoorji Pallonji Group with quality, reliability and the ability to complete
projects on schedule. We believe that the financial strength of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group and its
track record and visibility, especially in overseas markets allow us to secure and execute bigger
projects.

Our Strategy

Continue to focus on the high growth opportunities in the Indian construction and infrastructure
sector.

We believe that the increasing levels of investment in infrastructure by governments and private parties
will be a major driver for growth in our domestic business in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the
GoI has taken steps to encourage additional investments in infrastructure and construction sector, such
as formulating plans to create SEZs in various areas of India and providing economic benefits to
private sector participants for projects executed on a BOT basis. We intend to take advantage of such
growing opportunities in infrastructure development by strengthening our existing expertise and
continuing to pursue growth opportunities in India. We shall continue our focus on marine projects,
speciality bridges and metro projects and strive to enhance our share in sectors such as Hydro/Tunnels
and Oil and Gas pipelines, where we have recently entered.

Focus on opportunities in the international market

Apart from pursuing opportunities in India, our objective is to expand and strengthen our overseas
operations further by focusing on the regions where we already have a presence, such as the Middle
East and Africa, by capitalizing on our local experience, established contacts with local clients and
suppliers, and familiarity with local working conditions. Middle East is experiencing a recent increase
in construction activities, which makes it an attractive market for us. In addition, we propose to pursue
opportunities in newer regions like Algeria and Sudan where large infrastructure initiatives are being
made with the aid of multilateral institutions and in Yemen which is experiencing increased
construction activities because of the recent discovery of large oil reserves. We currently propose to
focus on the medium size contracts where local competition is lesser and we have the capability to
compete with large multi national players for such projects.

84
We believe that the overseas projects executed by us allow us to earn better margins. Overseas projects
also assist us in building our services and technology portfolio through the global exposure and
international benchmarking of projects. Further, we also use overseas assignments as a retention
measure for our employees.

In pursuing our strategies, we seek to identify markets where we believe we can provide cost and
operational advantages to our clients and distinguish ourselves from other competitors. In order to
expand our operations, we also seek to identify joint venture/ consortium partners whose resources,
capabilities and strategies are complementary to ours and who are likely to enhance our business
operations in such regions. We shall continue our focus on marine projects, specialty bridges and strive
to enhance our share in sectors such as Hydro/Tunnels and Oil and Gas pipelines, where we have
recently entered.

Increased focus on EPC contracts and design & build contracts.

As of September 30, 2006, engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and design & build contracts
constituted 37.78 % of our total order book. We intend to use our engineering capabilities to enable us
to provide value added engineering services for clients and win more EPC contracts. Owing to complex
nature of projects being envisaged, there is an increased demand for engineering capabilities. We
believe that EPC projects will enable us to realize greater added value on construction projects through
provision of comprehensive integrated solutions. .

Leverage on the strength of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group

The Shapoorji Pallonji Group is already an established player in the construction and real estate
industry catering to diverse sectors. We are the flagship company of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group in the
infrastructure construction sector. We intend to build upon and draw on its established presence and the
financial strengths. Accordingly, we also intend to bid for and participate in large BOT infrastructure
projects, including road projects in consortium with a Shapoorji Pallonji entity, which would function
as the concessionaire with the construction/ EPC job being executed by us. We will participate and
expand in those sectors where we derive the necessary strengths from the Shapoorji Pallonji Group in
terms of technical expertise, execution skills and an established presence.

Enhance profitability and capital efficiency

Infrastructure construction is a highly competitive, capital-intensive activity. We believe that the

optimal utilisation of financial, human and other resources is a key element for achieving success in
this industry, and we shall continue focusing on the strategy of concentrating on a limited number of
high-value/ high margin projects in order to maintain execution quality, reliability and timeliness.
Going forward, our strategy will be to continue focusing on our capital utilisation and structure to
optimise returns, by actively analysing and identifying projects and assigning priority to projects,
which are likely to maximise returns. We also intend to improve capital efficiency by striving for
accelerated completion of projects and better contract and relationship management with the client. We
propose to continue to mitigate our risks by including effective and equitable dispute resolution clauses
in our contracts.

Participate in road projects only in consortium with BOT/ BOOT entities

We believe that our ability to effectively manage our cash flows and resultant profitability is adversely
affected owing to high level of commodization of the road contracts directly awarded by agencies like
NHAI in the competitive bidding route and high level of delays experienced in execution of these
projects on account of delays in acquiring land. Typically under the BOT/ BOOT route, 80% of the
land is acquired prior to the award of contracts and therefore, the likelihood of delays in execution and
consequent adverse impact on cash flow is reduced. Therefore, currently, we propose to participate in
road projects only through the BOT/ BOOT route in association with Shapoorji Pallonji group and
other established entities, which would function as a concessionaire whilst we would execute the EPC
job.

Attract, train and retain qualified personnel

85
We understand that maintaining quality, minimising costs and ensuring timely completion of
engineering and construction projects depends largely on the skill and workmanship of our employees.
As competition for qualified personnel is increasing among construction companies in India,
particularly with the entry of international engineering and construction companies into the Indian
market and as we pursue greater growth opportunities, we seek to attract, train and retain qualified
personnel by increasing our focus on training our staff in advanced engineering and construction
technology and skills. We frequently conduct well-designed training programmes for our staff. A total
of 16,984 training man-hours have been spent on employee training between the period April 2005 to
November 2006. We also offer our engineering and technical personnel a wide range of work
experience and learning opportunities by providing them with an opportunity to work on a variety of
large, complex construction projects and forming cross functional teams with the objective of giving
them an opportunity to innovate. In addition, we give our employees opportunities to work on wide
variety of projects including overseas assignments.

Develop and maintain strong alliances with strategic partners.

We have strategic alliances for the execution of our projects with companies including Dywidag,
Germany, Per Aarsleff, Denmark, Kajima, Japan and Walter Mining, Australia. We intend to continue
to establish strategic alliances and share risks with companies, whose resources, skills and strategies are
complementary to and are likely to enhance our business opportunities, including the formation of joint
ventures and consortia to achieve competitive advantage. In the light of our focus on technology, we
also seek partners who can assist us in improving our technological capabilities in execution of our
projects.

Our Services

We provide integrated engineering, procurement and construction services for civil construction and
infrastructure projects. We have been involved in execution of infrastructure projects right since our
inception. Infrastructure development has seen growth in India, especially in recent years with
increasing government focus and funding for the sector. Increased investment in infrastructure has led
to a surge in the activities of the construction industry. Infrastructure projects have emerged as, and we
believe that they will continue to be, a significant business driver for us. We have developed skill sets
in providing engineering and construction services for a diverse range of infrastructure projects. Apart
from the infrastructure work undertaken by us, we continue to focus on providing mainly engineering
and construction services for civil construction projects especially industrial structures. We broadly
track our business under the following seven categories of service lines. We separately also track the
overseas component our business.

Marine Works

We entered into the field of marine construction in the year 1963 and have executed more than 150
marine structures all along the Indian coastline. The structures include all types of jetties, wharves,
slipways, breakwater, dry docks, intake and outfall structures. Most of the above structures have been
executed under very challenging environmental conditions. We have through the years acquired the
necessary expertise and skill to execute works under very high tidal variations and high sub surface
water currents. Our works span the coastline of India as shown in the map below:

Order Book

Our order book comprises the unfinished and uncertified portion of projects that we have undertaken
and includes the projects awarded to us but where we have not yet commenced work. In our industry,
the order book is considered an indicator of potential future performance since it represents a
significant portion of the likely future revenue stream. Our strategy is not focused solely on adding
contracts to the order book but instead is focused on capturing quality contracts with potentially high
margins. Our Order Book as of September 30, 2006, was Rs. 30,303.40 million. The orders in our order
book are subject to cancellation and modification provisions contained in the various contracts and
other relevant documentation.

The following table sets forth the value of our order book as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and as of

Project Lifecycle

A typical project cycle can be accounted for in two distinct phases. The first phase relates to
identification of the opportunity and leading to receipt of a contract through a series of activities. Once
the contract is received, the second phase of project management and execution commences as depicted
below. During both these phases, the finance activity interfaces at various stages with corresponding
inputs of guarantees, cash flow and fund management.

 The various stages involved in the two phases namely: Phase I (business opportunity leading upto the
order) and PhaseII (project management and execution) are further detailed below.

Phase I:
• Awarding the contract
o Expression of interest - called for by the project owner
o Request for Qualification (RFQ) or Pre-qualification
o Invitation to tender /request for proposal/ (RFP)
o Obtain Document- purchase of tender document
o Site Visit and Pre-Bid Queries
o Post-qualification / Technical Documentation and Financial Bid
o Submission of the tender along with Earnest Money Deposit (“EMD”).
o Award of the contract to the lowest bidder and issue of Letter of Intent
o Signing of the contract along with submission of performance securities and refund
of EMD

Phase II:
• Execution of the project
o Prepare the Project Cost and Analysis) for execution, detailed execution plan,
detailed resource plan and expenditure plan
o Kick-off meetings
o Mobilization of resources
o Purchase of materials required in the project
o Execution of the project as per execution plan
o Raising monthly (as per tender condition) Running Account Bills

• Project closure
o Implement all project completion activities to the satisfaction of the client.
o Receipt of final bill
o Taking substantial completion certificate
o Taking handing over certificate
o Implementing Defect Liability/ O&M period, if there is any
o Receive the final retention money after Defect Liability Period

• Defect Liability Period

Normally all projects stipulate a defect liability period of 12 months from the date of handing over.
Contractor is responsible to make good any defects that may arise as a consequence of inadequate
quality of supplies and workmanship during this period. The retention money / bank guarantee of
equivalent amount which is held by the client (approximately 5-10%) is returned to the contractor on
successful completion of the defect liability period.

Business Development and tendering

We enter into contracts primarily through a competitive bidding process. Government and other clients
typically advertise potential projects in leading national newspapers or on their websites. Our tendering
department regularly scans newspapers and websites to identify projects that could be of interest to us.
We have a centralized Business Development Department that is responsible for applying for all pre-
qualifications and tenders. We endeavour to qualify on our own for projects in which we propose to
bid. In the event that we do not qualify for a project in which we are interested due to eligibility
requirements relating to the size of the project or other reasons, we may seek to form strategic alliances
or project-specific joint ventures with other relevant experienced and qualified contractors, using the
combined credentials of such companies to strengthen our chances of pre-qualifying and winning the
bid for the project. Our Business Development department determines the bidding strategy depending
upon the type of contract. For example, in the event of bid for a design-build project, we would appoint
a competent consultant to design the project and provide us with drawings to enable further analysis of
the various aspects of the project. This allows us to make a more informed bid. Similarly, a lump sum
tender would entail quantity take-offs from the drawings supplied by the clients.

96
We also maintain an extensive computerized data bank and continuously upgrade it to track vendors,
prices of various materials in all states of India over the last 20 years. This along with the quotations
received help us to determine the price charged by us.

Engineering & Design

We provide detailed engineering services, if required by the client, for the projects that we undertake.
Typically, for design-build projects, the client supplies conceptual information pertaining to the project
and spells out the project requirements and specifications. We are required to prepare detailed
architectural and /or structural designs based on the conceptual requirements of the client and also
conform to various statutory and code requirements.

For those particular segments in which we do not have in-house design capabilities, we outsource
design services from experienced consultants who specialise in the particular segment. Prior to bidding
for the project, our Business Development department and senior management review the preliminary
design prepared by these consultants. Over the years, we have through a combination of experience and
technical ability developed expertise in assessing the preliminary pre-tender designs prepared by our
consultants, vis-à-vis the requirements of the client. After our initial review of the preliminary designs,
we continue to confer with our consultants to arrive at the final solution for the project. Once the
project is awarded to us, our consultants prepare detailed designs pursuant to the project requirements.

Procurement and Construction

Because material procurement plays such a critical part in the success of any project, we maintain
experienced staff in our purchase department to carry out material, services and equipment
procurement for all project sites. Procurement is a centralized function performed at our headquarters.
Only in certain cases is procurement done from project sites.

The Company has over the years developed relationships with a number of vendors for key materials,
services and equipment. The Company has also developed an extensive vendor database for various
materials and services. We maintain material procurement, tracking and control systems, which enable
monitoring of our purchases.

Procurement of material, services and equipment from external suppliers typically comprises a
significant part of a project’s cost. The ability to cost-effectively procure material, services and
equipment, and meeting quality specifications for our projects is essential for the successful execution
of such projects. We continually evaluate our existing vendors and also attempt to develop additional
sources of supply for most of the materials, services and equipment needed for our projects.

The key construction activities involved in a project depend on the nature and scope of the project. We
have a project management system that helps us track the physical and financial progress of work vis-à-
vis the project schedule. Daily progress reports are prepared by the major sites and sent to the project
monitoring cell in the head office for collation. Project personnel hold periodic review meetings with
the client at sites and also with key head office personnel in our headquarters to discuss the progress
being made on the project. The project managers also hold periodic review meetings with our vendors
and sub-contractors to review progress and assess future needs.

Each project site has a billing department that is responsible for preparing and dispatching periodic
invoices to the clients. Joint measurements with the client’s representative are taken on a periodic basis
and interim invoices prepared on the basis of such measurements are sent to the client for certification
and release of interim payments. The billing department is also responsible for certifying the bills
prepared by our vendors and sub-contractors for particular projects and forwarding the same to our
head office for further processing.

We are an ISO 9001:2000 certified company with a defined and documented Quality System Manual.
The quality assurance cells at our various project sites help to ensure implementation of the procedures
set forth in our Quality System Manual in order to help enable us to comply with the quality parameters
stipulated in the contract by the client. Two surveillance audits are conducted in a year by external
parties to ensure that the policies of the Company are followed. In addition, we also conduct periodic
internal audits to ensure the same.

97
We consider a project to be “virtually complete” when it is ready to be handed over to the client. We
then jointly inspect the project with the client to begin the process of handing over the project to the
client. Once satisfied, the client prepares a “virtual completion certificate”, which signifies the
commencement of the defects liability period or the maintenance period (i.e., the period during which
we are contractually bound to rectify any defects arising out of construction, which can last up to 60
months). On completion of the defects liability period, we request the client to release any performance
bonds or retention monies that may be outstanding.

Types of Contracts

Our contracts types fall into the following categories:

• Lump Sum contracts – Lump Sum contracts provide for a single price for the total amount of
work, subject to variations pursuant to changes in the client’s project requirements. In Lump Sum
contracts, the client supplies all the information relating to the project, such as designs and
drawings. Based on such information, we are required to estimate the quantities of various items,
such as raw materials, and the amount of work that would be needed to complete the project, and
then prepare our own bill of quantities (“BOQ”) to arrive at the price to be quoted. We are
responsible for the execution of the project based on the information provided and technical
stipulations laid down by the client at our quoted price.

• Design and Build contracts – Design and Build contracts provide for a single price for the total
amount of work, subject to variations pursuant to changes in the client’s project requirements. In
Design and Build contracts, the client supplies conceptual information pertaining to the project and
spells out the project requirements and specifications. We are required to (i) appoint consultants to
design the proposed structure, (ii) estimate the quantities of various items that would be needed to
complete the project based on the designs and drawings prepared by our consultants and (iii)
prepare our own BOQ to arrive at the price to be quoted. We are responsible for the execution of
all aspects of the project based on the above at our quoted price.

• Item rate contracts - Item rate contracts are contracts where we need to quote the price of each
item presented in a BOQ furnished by the client. In item rate contracts the client supplies all the
information such as design, drawings and BOQ. We are responsible for the execution of the project
based on the information provided and technical stipulations laid down by the client at our quoted
rates for each respective item.

• Percentage rate contracts - Percentage rate contracts require us to quote a percentage above,
below or at par with the estimated cost furnished by the client. In percentage rate contracts, the
client supplies all the information such as design, drawings and BOQ with the estimated rates for
each item of the BOQ. We are responsible for the execution of the project based on the
information provided and technical stipulations laid down by the client at our quoted rates, which
are arrived at by adding or subtracting the percentage quoted by us above or below the estimated
cost furnished by the client.

• Cost Plus Contracts – We have also been awarded cost plus contracts with certain clients like
Reliance Industries Limited with whom we have developed a long term relationship. These
contracts typically allow us to recover a fixed margin over the total costs incurred by us for
execution of the projects based on periodic invoices submitted by us.

Depending on the nature of the project and the project requirements, contracts may also contain a
combination of aspects of any of the contract types discussed above.

Contracts, irrespective of their type (i.e., Lump Sum, item rate, percentage rate, design-build), typically
contain price variation or escalation clauses that provide for either reimbursement by the client in the
event of a variation in the prices of key raw materials (e.g., steel and cement) or a formula that splits
the contract into pre-defined components for materials, labour and fuel and links the escalation in
amounts payable by the client to pre-defined price indices published periodically by the RBI or the
Government. Some contracts do not include such price variation or escalation clauses. Thus, in those
instances, we face the risk that the price of key raw materials and other inputs will increase during the
project execution period and are unable to pass on the increases in such costs to the client.

98
Project-specific Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances

Generally, we bid for projects as the sole contractor of the project with full responsibility for the entire
project, including, if required, the overall responsibility and sole discretion to select and supervise sub-
contractors. From time to time, on certain larger projects that require resources beyond those we may
have available, such as financial strength, equipment, manpower or local content resources, or when we
wish to share the risk on a particularly large project, we seek to make alliances through the formation
of special purpose vehicles (SPVs) or project-specific joint ventures with other contracting, engineering
and construction companies.

In a project-specific joint venture, each member of the joint venture shares the risks and revenues of the
project according to a predetermined agreement. The agreements specifically assign the work to be
performed by each party and the responsibilities of each party with respect to the joint venture,
including how the joint venture will be managed and the equipment, personnel or other assets that each
party will contribute or make available to the joint venture. The profits and losses of the joint venture
are shared among the members according to a predetermined ratio. The fixed assets that are acquired
by the joint venture are generally transferred to the respective joint venture members upon completion
of the joint venture project. The agreements may also set forth the manner in which any disputes among
the members will be resolved. The construction contracts that the joint ventures enter into, or the joint
ventures themselves, typically impose joint and several liability on the members. Thus, should the other
member(s) of our joint ventures default on its or their duties to perform, we would remain liable for the
completion of the project. The SPV or project-specific joint venture typically terminates at the
completion of the defect liability period, at which point the SPV or project-specific joint venture
liquidates and dissolves.

As of November 30, 2006, we had entered into memoranda of understanding, joint venture agreements
and consortium agreements in respect of projects being currently executed as described in the table
below. For details of these memoranda of understanding, joint venture agreements and consortium
agreements, see the section titled “History and Certain Corporate Matters” on page 108.

We have also entered into an agreement with Diamond Offshore Drilling (Overseas) Inc., USA to act
as a business development agent in relation to the offshore drilling operations in India. Under this
agreement, we are paid a fixed commission fee for the services performed in India.

Competition

We operate in a competitive environment. Our competition depends on whether the project is in the
civil construction sector or the infrastructure sector. It also depends on a host of other factors, such as
the type of project, contract value and potential margins, the complexity and location of the project, the
reputation of the client and the risks relating to revenue generation. While service quality, technical
ability, performance record, experience, health and safety records and the availability of skilled
personnel are key factors in client decisions among competitors, price is often the deciding factor in
most tender awards. We mainly compete with domestic Indian entities in the different segments in
which we operate. Some of our key competitors are Larsen and Toubro Limited, Hindustan
Construction Company Limited, Gammon India Limited, IVRCL Infrastructures and Projects Limited,
Simplex Infrastructures Limited and ITD Cementation Limited.

Insurance

Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in providing engineering and construction services, such
as risk of equipment failure, work accidents, fire, earthquake, flood and other force majeure events, acts
of terrorism and explosions including hazards that may cause injury and loss of life, severe damage to
and the destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage. We may also be subject to
claims resulting from defects arising from engineering, procurement or construction services provided
by us within the warranty periods extended by us, which can range from 12 to 60 months from the date
of commissioning.

We obtain specialized insurance for construction risks and third party liabilities for most projects for
the duration of the project and the defect liability period. We generally maintain insurance covering our
assets and operations at levels that we believe to be appropriate. Risks of loss or damage to project
works and materials are often insured jointly with our clients.

Our significant insurance policies consist of coverage for risks relating to physical loss or damage as
well as business interruption loss. Loss or damage to our materials and property, including contract
works, whether permanent or temporary, and materials or equipment supplied by us or supplied to us,
are generally covered by “contractors’ all risks” insurance. Under the all risks insurance policy we are
also provided cover for price escalation, debris removal and surrounding properties. Under our general
public liability insurance policy, we are indemnified against legal liability to pay damages for third
party civil claims arising out of bodily injury or property damage caused by an accident during the
project in the course of business.

Under certain of our contracts and sub-contracts, we are required to obtain insurance for the project. In
some such cases, we have either not obtained insurance or we have obtained insurance but permitted
the insurance policy to lapse prior to the completion of the project. For some projects that do not
require us to maintain insurance, we have not taken insurance cover.

We also maintain automobile policies and workmen’s compensation policies as well as hospitalization
and group personnel accident policies for our permanent employees.

Guarantees

We are often required to provide financial and performance guarantees our performance and financial
obligations in relation to a project. The amount of guarantee facilities available to us depends upon our

100
financial condition and the availability of adequate security for the banks and financial institutions that
provide us with such facilities. There have been zero instances where our performance guarantees have
been invoked by our clients.

Our Employees

We believe that a well-trained, motivated and satisfied employee base is key to our competitive
advantage. As of November 30, 2006, we employed 1,473 full-time employees, of which 47.99 %
were engineers. Additionally, as of November 30, 2006, we employed 2,695 temporary labourers on
our project sites.

We are committed to the development of the expertise and know-how of our employees through
regular technical seminars and training sessions organised or sponsored by the Company. Our
personnel policies are aimed towards recruiting the talent that we need, facilitating the integration of
our employees into the Company and encouraging the development of skills in order to support our
performance and the growth of our operations.

The following table sets forth certain information in respect of our full-time and temporary labour as of
November 30, 2006:

Category Number of Full-Time Number of Temporary Total

Employees labour

Commercial Staff 441 645 1,022
Workers 56 1017 1,073
Total 1,473 2,695 4,104

All our non-supervisory employees are members of registered trade unions. There are three trade
unions each representing 442, 84 and 22 employees respectively. In relation to two of the unions, we
concluded collective bargaining agreements in May 2004 and reached a wage agreement which took
effect retrospectively from April 1, 2003 to March 31, 2007 and January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2006
respectively. Besides wage settlement, our management and the unions came to an agreement on
several other aspects of employee management. The charter of demand in respect of one of the unions,
which represents 22 employees, has been pending since January 21, 2005.

As such, we consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Health, Safety and Environment

We are committed to complying with applicable Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) regulations
and other requirements in our operations and have a documented policy in place.

To help ensure effective implementation of our practices, at the beginning of every project we seek to
identify all potential material hazards, evaluate all material risks and institute, implement and monitor
appropriate controls. We believe that accidents and occupational health hazards can be significantly
reduced through the systematic analysis and control of risks and by providing appropriate training to
management, employees and sub-contractors. We seek to work proactively towards minimizing or
eliminating the impact of hazards to people and the environment. On all project sites, we employ safety
personnel dedicated to helping ensure the implementation of our HSE policies at such sites.
Additionally, safety managers are sent from the head office to monitor safety standards at project sites.
We were awarded ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999 certifications by BVQI in respect of
construction of elevated viaduct for Delhi Metro Rail Project.

Our Equipment

We believe that our strategic investment in equipment and fixed assets is an advantage that enables us
to rapidly mobilize our equipment to project sites as needs arise. We have a fleet of strategic
construction equipment assets, including cranes, equipment for piling and diaphragm wall, drilling and
grouting, concrete/ earth moving transport, marine flotilla including jack up platform, barges and
pontoons. Having such an asset base is in our view an important advantage in serving the technically

101
challenging and diverse nature of the construction projects in which we are engaged. We have
developed several of equipment in-house. We have equipment storage, maintenance and repair
facilities at Ulva (Navi Mumbai), Nagpur, Delhi and Chennai.

As of September 30, 2006, our total investment in equipments was Rs. 2,469.93 million (on a
consolidated basis). The following table provides a list of some of our more substantial equipment as

Risk Management

The risk management framework includes the assessment of risks such as political, economic,
contractual and immigration. We have established a Risk Management System to identify all possible
risks during selection of project, tender estimation and /submission of tenders. Particularly for foreign
projects, we evaluate risks under the category of country risk, political risk, banking risk, currency
fluctuation risk, inflation possibility, contract conditions, dispute redressal system, visa restrictions,
client profile prior to submitting a bid.

During cost estimation at tender stage we also evaluate risk related to labour/ material cost variation,
equipment availability in the country, geological conditions, cash flow, consideration of time schedule,
liquidated damages, guarantee / warranty requirement and maintenance requirement. Management
approval in selection of projects and price to be quoted duly depends on the evaluation and liquidation
of the above risks.

When the work is awarded the Project Management Team is briefed on the risks on the basis of tender
preparation in light of the actual risks. During the execution of the projects, our project managers as
well as the project controllers are appraised of the risks expected and to enable them to avoid / mitigate
increased time and cost due to such risks.

Enterprise Resource Planning

102
We are currently implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software to manage our various
business functions effectively. Phase I of this implementation which would centralize accounts,
purchase, stores, payroll and CPE (covering of implementation of major equipments at various project
sites) has already been completed. This assists us in monitoring our projects on a day-to-day basis in an
effective manner and improves information availability for our employees. Phase II involving planning,
execution, costing, maintenance, which is currently under implementation, would further integrate our
various operational arms.

 REGULATIONS AND POLICIES

The following description is a summary of the relevant regulations and policies as prescribed by the
Government of India. The information detailed in this chapter has been obtained from publications
available in the public domain. The regulations set out below are not exhaustive, and is only intended
to provide general information to the investors and is neither designed nor intended to be a substitute
for professional legal advice.

Introduction

The Company is engaged in the business of civil construction, specialized foundations such as all
types of pile foundations, drillings & groutings, construction of diaphragm walls, RCC or otherwise,
construction of tunnels, bridges, harbours, dry docks, sea walls, landings and or other types of
marine structures.

Set forth below are certain significant legislations and regulations that generally govern this industry in
India:

Regulation of Ports

The primary legislation governing ports is the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 (the Port Trust Act). Each
port is administered, controlled and managed by a board of trustees (Port Trust) which is constituted by
the central government under the Port Trust Act. The Port Trust usually renders services such as
landing and shipping of passengers and goods, transporting and storing goods, receiving, transporting
and dispatching goods originating in the vessel in the port and intended for carriage by the railways or
vice versa; piloting, hauling, mooring, hooking or measuring of vessels or any other service in respect
of vessels. Such services can be sanctioned to be performed by private persons if approval of the
central government is obtained. For this, such person cannot charge any sum in excess of the amount
specified by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (Port Tariff Authority) by notification. The Port Tariff
Authority is an independent body established for fixing and revising port tariffs. These tariffs
determine the upper limit of tariffs that can be charged by private entrepreneurs and the port.

Private participation is allowed in the following activities pertaining to ports: (i) leasing out assets of
the port; (ii) construction and creation of additional assets (this includes: construction and operation of
container terminals; (iii) construction and operation of bulk break bulk, multipurpose and specialized
cargo berths; (iv) warehousing, container freight stations, storage facilities and tank farms; (v)
crainage/handling equipment; (vi) setting up of captive power plants; (vii) dry docking and ship repair
facilities; (viii) leasing of equipment for port handling and leasing of floating crafts from the private
sector; (ix) pilotage; (x) captive facilities for port based industries. Further activities may be permitted
to be opened to private sector participation after consultation with the central government.

The approval of the Port Trust is required for making, erecting or fixing any wharf, dock, quay, stage,
jetty, pier, erection or mooring within the port or its approaches and the Port Trust may specify
conditions subject to which such consent is granted.

Though activities have been opened to participation by the private sector, these persons are obligated to
operate in accordance with certain considerations such as protection of national interests including
national security and adhering to priority berthing orders of the central government, in this regard.
Other considerations include following statutory requirements on environmental protection, anti-
pollution measures and safety.

However, private sector participants would be permitted to give priority berthing to their own ships and
they would service other ships on a first come first served basis with respect to berths constructed or
taken on lease by private entrepreneurs.

Regulation of the Road Sector

104
The primary central legislations governing the roads sector are the National Highways Act, 1956 and
the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988 (NHAI Act).

National Highways Act, 1956

Under this Act, the central government is vested with the power to declare a highway as a National
Highway and also to acquire land for this purpose. The central government may by notification, declare
its intention to acquire any land when it is satisfied that for a public purpose such land is required for
the building, maintenance, management or operation of a national highway. The National Highways
Act prescribes the procedure for the same. Such procedure relates to declaration of an intention to
acquire, entering and inspecting such land, hearing of objections, declaration required to be made for
the acquisition and the mode of taking possession.

The central government is responsible for the development and maintenance of national highways.
However, it may direct that such functions may also be exercised by state governments. Further, the
central government has the power to enter into an agreement with any person for the development and
maintenance of a part or whole of the highway. Such person would have the right to collect and retain
fees at such rates as may be notified by the central government.

The National Highways (Collection of Fees by any Person for the use of Section of National
Highways/ Permanent Bridge/ Temporary Bridge on National Highways) Rules, 1997 provide that the
central government may enter into agreements with persons for development and maintenance of the
whole or part of a national highway/permanent bridge/temporary bridge on national highway. Such
person may invest his own funds for development or maintenance and is allowed to collect and retain
the fees at agreed rates from different categories of vehicles for an agreed period for the use of the
facilities created herein. The rates of fees and the period of collection are decided by the central
government and the factors taken into account to decide the same include expenditure involved in
building; maintenance, management and operation of the whole or part of such section; interest on the
capital invested; reasonable return, the volume of traffic; and the period of such agreement.

Once the period of collection of fees by the person is completed, all rights pertaining to the section,
permanent bridge or the temporary bridge on the national highway would be deemed to have been
taken over by the central government.

Hydro Projects

Under the Electricity Act 2003, specific provisions have been made for hydro projects. The generating
company intending to set up a hydro project station is required to submit any scheme which is
estimated to involve a capital expenditure exceeding such sum as may be fixed by the central
government before the CEA for approval. The CEA is required to look into whether the proposed river-
works will prejudice the best development of the river or its tributaries for power generation. Further
factors such as drinking water, irrigation, navigation, flood-control or other public purposes are also
required to be considered. The CEA is also required to consider whether the proposed scheme meets
the norms regarding dam design and safety.

Fiscal Legislation

Section 80-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides that while computing the total income of an
undertaking set up for generation of power, 100% deduction of the profit and gains is allowed. This
deduction is allowed during any 10 consecutive years in a block of first 15 years from the start of
operations of the infrastructure facility. This is applicable when the particular undertaking is not
formed by splitting up or reconstruction of a business already in existence and is not formed by the
transfer to a new business of machinery or plant previously used for any purpose.

Environment Regulation

Infrastructure projects must also ensure compliance with environmental legislation such as the Water
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974 (Water Pollution Act), the Air (Prevention and Control
of Pollution) Act, 1981 (Air Pollution Act) and the Environment Protection Act, 1986 (Environment
Act).

105
The Water Pollution Act aims to prevent and control water pollution. This legislation provides for the
constitution of a Central Pollution Control Board and State Pollution Control Boards. The functions of
the Central Board include coordination of activities of the State Boards, collecting data relating to
water pollution and the measures for the prevention and control of water pollution and prescription of
standards for streams or wells. The State Pollution Control Boards are responsible for the planning for
programmes for prevention and control of pollution of streams and wells, collecting and disseminating
information relating to water pollution and its prevention and control; inspection of sewage or trade
effluents, works and plants for their treatment and to review the specifications and data relating to
plants set up for treatment and purification of water; laying down or annulling the effluent standards for
trade effluents and for the quality of the receiving waters; and laying down standards for treatment of
trade effluents to be discharged. This legislation debars any person from establishing any industry,
operation or process or any treatment and disposal system, which is likely to discharge trade effluent
into a stream, well or sewer without taking prior consent of the State Pollution Control Board.

The Central and State Pollution Control Boards constituted under the Water Pollution Act are also to
perform functions as per the Air Pollution Act for the prevention and control of air pollution. The Air
Pollution Act aims for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution. It is mandated under this
Act that no person can, without the previous consent of the State Board, establish or operate any
industrial plant in an air pollution control area.

The Environment Act has been enacted for the protection and improvement of the environment. The
Act empowers the central government to take measures to protect and improve the environment such as
by laying down standards for emission or discharge of pollutants, providing for restrictions regarding
areas where industries may operate and so on. The central government may make rules for regulating
environmental pollution.

With respect to forest conservation, the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 prevents state governments
from making any order directing that any forest land be used for a non-forest purpose or that any forest
land is assigned through lease or otherwise to any private person or corporation not owned or
controlled by the Government without the approval of the central government. The Ministry of
Environment and Forests mandates that Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) must be conducted for
projects. In the process, the Ministry receives proposals for the setting up of projects and assesses their
impact on the environment before granting clearances to the projects.

Foreign Ownership

Under the Industrial Policy and FEMA, FDI up to 100% is permitted in construction and related
engineering services. Further, the Industrial Policy now also permits foreign direct investment under
the automatic route in projects for construction and maintenance of roads, highways, vehicular bridges,
toll roads and ports and harbours.

Subject to certain conditions and guidelines, the Industrial Policy and FEMA further permit up to 100%
FDI in townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction development projects which
include, but are not restricted to, housing, commercial premises, hotels, resorts, hospitals, educational
institutions, recreational facilities and city and regional level infrastructure.

The RBI by its A.P. (DIR Series) circular No. 16 dated October 4, 2004 granted general permission for
the transfer of shares of an Indian company by Non-Residents to residents and residents to Non-
Residents, subject to the terms and conditions, including pricing guidelines, specified in such circular.
No approvals of the FIPB or the RBI are required for such Allotment of Equity Shares under this Issue.

Investment by Foreign Institutional Investors

Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) including institutions such as pension funds, investment trusts,
asset management companies, nominee companies and incorporated, institutional portfolio managers
can invest in all the securities traded on the primary and secondary markets in India. FIIs are required
to obtain an initial registration from the SEBI and a general permission from the RBI to engage in
transactions regulated under FEMA. FIIs must also comply with the provisions of the SEBI (Foreign
Institutional Investors) Regulations, 1995, as amended from time to time. The initial registration and

106
the RBI’s general permission together enable the registered FII to buy (subject to the ownership
restrictions discussed below) and sell freely securities issued by Indian companies, to realise capital
gains or investments made through the initial amount invested in India, to subscribe or renounce rights
issues for shares, to appoint a domestic custodian for custody of investments held and to repatriate the
capital, capital gains, dividends, income received by way of interest and any compensation received
towards sale or renunciation of rights issues of shares.

Ownership Restrictions of FIIs

Under the portfolio investment scheme, the overall issue of equity shares to FIIs on a repatriation basis
should not exceed 24% of post-issue paid-up capital of a company. However, the limit of 24% can be
raised up to the permitted sectoral cap (which is 100% for the engineering and construction sector) for
that company after approval of the Board of Directors and shareholders of the company. As of date, no
such approval has been obtained. The total holding of a single FII should not exceed 10% of the post-
issue paid-up capital of the Company or 5% of the total paid-up capital in case such sub-account is a
foreign corporate or an individual. In respect of an FII investing in equity shares of a company on
behalf of its sub-accounts, the investment on behalf of each sub-account shall not exceed 10% of the
total issued capital of that company.

shareholder of our Company in 1993, which shareholding was transferred to ICICI pursuant to the
merger of SCICI with ICICI. We became a full fledged public company in November 1997. In 1998
ICICI subscribed to further shares in our Company which made ICICI the single largest shareholder
with 47.37% equity stake in our Company. Shapoorji Pallonji Group acquired 53.96% per cent
shareholding in our Company in 2000 where 47.37% was acquired from ICICI Ltd. and 6.59% was

September, 2006 prepared and approved by the Board of Directors for the purpose of disclosure in the
offer document of the Company mentioned in Paragraph (1) above. The financial information for the

Based on the above, we report that in our opinion and according to the information and explanations

4. In accordance with the requirements of Paragraph B of Part II of Schedule II of the Act, the SEBI
Guidelines and terms of our engagement as aforesaid, we further report that:

a) The Restated Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Company as at 31st March,
2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 30th September, 2006, Profits and Losses and Statement of Cash

policy for all the reporting periods.

relate.
(iii) And there are no extra-ordinary items that need to be disclosed separately in the
accounts.

c) The Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Profits and Losses and Statement of Cash flows
mentioned in (a) above have not been restated to reflect the effect of the Auditors’ qualifications
as stated hereunder, since the said qualifications are not capable of precise quantification.

(i) Non-provision for probable non-recovery of dues from a Partnership firm; (Refer note
no. B(6)(i) of Annexure IIIB)
(ii) Non-provision for debts and advances; (Refer note no. B(6)(ii) of Annexure IIIB)
(iii) Non-provision for diminution in value of certain unquoted investments in subsidiaries
and in value of the capital of a partnership firm; (Refer note no. B(6)(iii) of Annexure
IIIB)
(iv) The manner of determination of projected losses in respect of contracts in progress, for
which we have relied upon the management’s current estimates of costs to completion
owing to their technical nature and due to uncertainties of future; (Refer note no.
B(6)(iv) of Annexure IIIB)
(v) Non-provision for unbilled revenue; (Refer note no. B(6)(v) of Annexure IIIB)

thereon; (Refer note no. B(6)(vi) of Annexure IIIB)
(vii) Non-provision for fall in the value of investments in and dues from a subsidiary; (Refer

In view of the fact that in respect of items mentioned under clauses (i) to (vii) above, the probable
loss on account of non-recovery or partial recovery of debts, loans and advances, other
receivables, fall in the value of investments, contracts in progress, Arbitration awards in appeal
etc. are not capable of being estimated and quantified with reasonable accuracy owing to
insufficient evidence and information available which includes, inter alia, a review of events
occurring after the Balance Sheet date, management’s experience of similar transactions and in
some cases reports from independent experts, the overall effect of the above qualifications could
not be determined. Hence, it is not possible to adjust the above non-provisions in the restated
summary statements.

d) We have also examined the following other financial information set out in Annexures prepared
by the management and approved by the Board of Directors relating to the Company for the year
ended 31st March, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th

ANNEXURE IIIB - NOTES ON ADJUSTMENT ON ACCOUNT OF RESTATEMENTS / AUDIT
QUALIFICATIONS

A The following adjustments have been made to the Summary Statement of Profits and Losses,
Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Restated Cash Flow (“Summary
Statements”):

1. Interest on arbitration awards accounted in the year ended March 31, 2006 in respect of arbitration
awards decided in favour of the company adjusted in respective years to which it relates, except as
mentioned below:

Afcons Pauling (India) Limited (APIL) a subsidiary of the Company was amalgamated with the
Company with effect from 1st April, 2005. During the year ended 31st March, 2006, interest on
arbitration awards pertaining to earlier years of APIL aggregating to Rs.98.39 million was
accounted as income, which was related to the years prior to amalgamation. For the purpose of this
statement the said interest income has not been adjusted in the respective years, as APIL was not
part of the Company's operation in those years.

2. Provision for diminution in the value of investment in units of UTI was made in the year ended
March 31, 2003. For the purpose of this statement same has been adjusted in the year ended March
31, 2002 as such provision was related to the financial year 2001-2002.

B The following adjustments have not been made to the Summary Statements for the reasons
stated therein:

1. The trustees of Afcons Infrastructure Limited Employees Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance

Scheme Trust have taken a Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance Policy from the Life Insurance
Corporation of India (LIC). Provision for gratuity is made on the basis of premium payable in
respect of aforesaid policy and actuarial valuation carried out by the independent actuarial valuer
as at the year end.

The Company has made provision for gratuity liability and unavailed leave for the period ended
September 30, 2006 as per revised Accounting Standard (AS -15) “Employees Benefit” issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

For the purpose of this statement, Revised AS-15 has not been applied for the years ended March
31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 as the same was not applicable in those years. Consequently,
additional impact, if any, on account of actuarial valuation of gratuity and unavailed leave as per
revised (AS 15) has not been recognised in this statement for those years.

Based on revised actuarial valuation carried out as per Revised (AS-15) for the year ended March
31, 2006, there was no additional liability on account of gratuity as on 31st March, 2006.

2. Prior to 1st April, 2004, the Company accounted contract revenue and contract cost in accordance
with the Accounting Standard AS7. “Accounting for Construction Contracts” issued in the year
1983 in respect of contracts entered into before 1st April, 2003 and Accounting Standard AS7
“Construction Contracts (Revised)” issued in the year 2002 in respect of contracts entered into on
or after 1st April, 2003. During the year ended March 31, 2005, with a view to have uniformity in
accounting treatment, the Company has accounted Contract Revenue and costs in accordance with
AS7 (revised) in respect of all contracts (including contracts entered into prior to 1st April, 2003).
Revenue recognized as a result of this change is Rs. 864.45 millions. Adjustment on this account
has not been made in the summary financial statement for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2003
and 2004 in the absence of available information.
3. Prior to 1st April, 2004, the Company has accounted work done remaining to be certified / billed at
cost. From the financial year 2004-05 onwards the company has treated work done remaining to
be certified / billed as unbilled Revenue in the accounts and valued the same at the contract rates.

215
 Adjustment on this account has not been made in the summary financial statement for the years
ended March 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in the absence of available information.

4. Prior to 1st April, 2002, it was the practice of the Company to defer expenditure on voluntary
retirement compensation over a period of five years. During the year 2002-03, the company has
changed this practice on the basis of reassessment and has decided to amortize the said
expenditure over a period of 10 years with retrospective effect. This change has the effect of (i)
write back to the profit and loss account excess amount of amortization, Rs. 5.37 millions (ii)
decreasing the amortization charge for the year by Rs 11.71 millions (iii) increasing the profit for
the year by Rs. 17.09 millions and (iv) increasing the deferred revenue expenditure carried
forward by Rs 17.09 millions. Adjustment on this account have not been made in the summary
financial statement for the years ended March 31, 2002 as in the opinion of the Company, the
impact of the same in the summary statements for the year ended March 31, 2002 is not material.

5. The Company’s subsidiary AFCONS Pauling (India) Limited was amalgamated with the
Company w.e.f. 1st April, 2005 in accordance with the scheme of amalgamation and approval of
Bombay High Court. Hence, Summary Statement of the Company for the year ended March 31,

and reserves taken over from AFCONS Pauling (India) Limited. Summary Statements for the
year ended March 31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are exclusive of above effects. It is not possible

Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition/ construction or book value and include amounts
added on revaluation less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold improvements have been
capitalized and are written off over the lease term from the date(s) of installation.

b) Impairment loss

Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their
recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its
value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise
from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net
selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction
between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

c) Depreciation

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on the straight-line basis. Cost of the Intangible
assets are amortised over a period of five years.

d) Investments

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments are
carried at cost. However, when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount
is reduced to recognize the decline.

e) Inventories

Construction materials, stores and spare parts are valued at lower of cost and net realizable
value. Cost is determined on the basis of weighted average method. Cost of shuttering
materials (included in construction materials) issued to jobs, is charged off equally over a
period of four years.

f) Unbilled Revenue

Work done remaining to be certified/ billed is treated as Unbilled Revenue in the accounts.
The same is valued at the contract rates.

g) Retention monies

Amounts retained by the clients until satisfactory completion of the contract(s) are recognised
in the financial statements as receivables. Where such retention monies have been released by
the clients against submission of bank guarantees, the amounts so released are adjusted
against receivables from these clients.

h) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency, including in respect of branch operations integral in nature,

are recorded at the original rates of exchange in force at the time the transactions are effected.
At the year end, monetary items, including those of branch operations integral in nature,

219
 denominated in foreign currency are reported using the closing rates of exchange. Exchange
differences arising thereon and on realization/ payment of foreign exchange are accounted for
in the relevant year as income or expense except in the case of fixed assets acquired from
outside India, in which case, these are adjusted in the carrying amounts of such assets.

i) Revenue recognition on contracts

(i) Contract revenue and expenses are recognized, when outcome can be estimated reliably,
on the basis of percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined
based on the nature of contracts, either in proportion of contract costs incurred up to the
reporting date to the estimated total cost or on the basis of physical proportion of the
contract work completed.

(ii) Variations (in contracts) and amounts in respect thereof are recognized only when it is
probable that the customer(s) will approve them and amounts can be measured reliably.

(iii) Claims and amounts in respect thereof are recognized only when negotiations have
advanced to stage where it is probable that the customer(s) will accept them and amounts
can be reliably measured.

j) Retirement benefits

(i) Gratuity

The trustees of Afcons Infrastructure Limited Employees Group Gratuity-cum-Life

Assurance Scheme Trust have taken a Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance Policy from
the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Provision for gratuity is made on the basis
of premium payable in respect of the aforesaid policy and actuarial valuation carried out
by the independent actuarial valuer as at the year end.

k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of

qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one
that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All
other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.

220
 l) Deferred revenue expenditure

The expenditure on voluntary retirement compensation is treated as ‘Deferred Revenue

Expenditure’ and amortized over a period of ten years.

m) Finance lease rentals

These are accounted over the life of the asset determined on the basis of technical evaluation
made by an independent valuer/ surveyor.

n) Doubtful debts and advances

Provision is made in the accounts for debts and advances which in the opinion of the
management are considered doubtful of recovery.

o) Taxes on income

Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax at the applicable enacted/ substantively
enacted rates. Current tax represents the amount of income-tax payable/ recoverable in respect
of the taxable income/ loss for the reporting period. Deferred tax represents the effect of

that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Provision for Fringe Benefits Tax is made in accordance with Chapter XII-H of the Income-
tax Act, 1961.

result of a past event, for which it is probable that cash outflow will be required and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are disclosed

III Significant notes for the year ended 31st March, 2006

The High Court of Judicature at Bombay sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation (SoA) of
Afcons Pauling (India) Limited (APIL), a subsidiary of the Company with the Company. APIL
was engaged in the business of Construction. The amalgamation is accounted in the books of the
Company as per the High Court Order. The effective date of Amalgamation is 18th May, 2006
and the appointed date is 1st April 2005. Accordingly, the SoA has been given effect to in the
accounts. Pursuant to the SoA:

(a) the assets and liabilities of APIL on the appointed date have been taken at book values
(subject to adjustments made as given in the SoA);

(b) debit balances in the Profit and Loss account of APIL has been aggregated with the
balances in Profit and Loss account of the Company.

(c) in consideration for the transfer, the minority shareholders of APIL are to be issued 1
(one) Zero Coupon Redeemable Preference Shares of the Company (of Rs. 10/- each)
to be redeemed on the expiry of 24 months from the date of issue at a premium of 10%
of the face value for every 10 (ten) equity shares held by them in APIL. These have
been shown under share capital.

(d) the (deficit) of the value of the assets over the value of the liabilities taken over by the
Company and aggregate face value of the Redeemable preference shares to be issued
by the Company as stated above, after adjusting the debit balance in Profit and Loss
Account taken over, has been adjusted against General Reserve Account (to the extent

1. The Company holds investment of Rs. 39.67 millions in its subsidiary company, Afcons
Pauling (India) Limited (APIL), representing 75% of the share capital of that company.
APIL owes to the Company Debts, aggregating to Rs.118.99 millions and advances,
aggregating to Rs. 276.81 millions as on 31st Mach, 2005. As per the latest audited accounts
of APIL, as at 31st March, 2005, its net worth stands eroded. APIL has substantial
experience of nearly two decades in the execution of road projects. Therefore, in
combination with the company, it has been working on a business plan for generating future
revenues in the preferred lines of business of roads and highways construction and is very

228
 hopeful of bagging jobs. APIL has also preferred huge claims against its clients that are
subject matter of arbitration where it is confident of positive outcome. It is therefore
confident of paying back advances of the company out of the above and also out of monies
falling due from its debtors in 2005-06. Hence, no provision is deemed necessary for
diminution in the value of the Company's investment in APIL and also for amounts due
from it, which are considered good and recoverable.

2. Hitherto, the Company accounted contract revenue and contract cost in accordance with the
Accounting Standard AS7. “Accounting for Construction Contracts” issued in the year

into on or after 01-04-2003.During the year, with a view to have uniformity in accounting
treatment, the Company has accounted Contract Revenue and costs in accordance with AS7
(revised) in respect of all contracts (including contracts entered into prior to 01-04-2003).
Revenue recognized as a result of this change is Rs. 864.45 millions).

Notes:
1) The above ratios have been computed on the basis of the restated Summary Statements as per Annexures
I and II
2) Since the potential equity shares have an anti-dilutive effect, diluted EPS is same as basic EPS.
3) The effect of potential dilution pursuant to the proposed issue has not been considered since the quantum
of equity shares that will ultimately be subscribed cannot be ascertained at present.
4) Return on Net Worth (%) represents Profit/(Loss) after tax as restated, divided by Net Worth.
5) Net Assets Value is calculated as Net Worth (excluding Preference Share Capital) at the end of each
financial year divided by the number of equity shares at the end of each financial year.

Dear Sirs,

Re: The proposed public offering by Afcons Infrastructure Limited.

1. We have examined the attached consolidated financial information of Afcons Infrastructure

Limited and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures (“the Group”), as approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company, prepared in terms of the requirements of Paragraph B, Part II
of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”) and the Securities and Exchange Board of
India (Disclosure and Investor Protection) Guidelines, 2000 as amended up to 18th October, 2006
(“SEBI Guidelines”) and in terms of our engagement agreed upon with you in accordance with our
engagement letter dated 4th December, 2006 requesting us to examine financial information
referred to above and proposed to be included in the Offer Document being issued by the
Company in connection with the proposed issue of Equity shares of the Company.

2. These information have been prepared by the Management from the financial statements for the
year ended 31st March, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.

3. We did not jointly audit the Financial statements of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
for the financial years ended 31st March, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, whose Financial
Statements reflect total assets, total revenue and total cash flows as mentioned below.

31st March, 31st March, 31st March, 31st March, 31st March,
2006 2005 2004 2003 2002
Rupees in Rupees in Rupees in Rupees in Rupees in

Total Revenue 337.96 29.55 17.15 46.30 78.48

Total Assets 96.79 466.86 564.36 595.15 631.81

Total Cash flows 2.26 2.31 0.41 2.66 4.46

4. These financial statements have been audited by either of us in our individual capacity or by other
auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the
amount included in respect of subsidiaries and an associate is based solely on reports of the
respective auditors except that in the case of Afcons Constructions Mideast LLC and Afcons
Aarsleff Joint Venture, our opinion is based on the unaudited separate financial statements
prepared by the Joint Venturers and included in the consolidated financial statements. The
unaudited Financial Statements of the joint ventures reflect total Assets of Rs.61.24 millions, total
revenue of Rs. 325.29 millions and total cash flows of Rs.11.42 millions for the year ended 31st
March, 2006.

263
5. We have also examined the consolidated financial information of the Company and its
subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th September, 2006
prepared and approved by the Board of Directors for the purpose of disclosure in the offer
document of the Company mentioned in Paragraph (1) above. The consolidated financial
information for the above period was examined to the extent practicable, for the purpose of audit
of financial information in accordance with the Auditing and Assurance Standards issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we plan and perform our
audit to obtain reasonable assurance, whether the financial information under examination is free
of material misstatement. Based on the above, we report that in our opinion and according to the
information and explanations given to us, we have found the same to be correct and the same have
been accordingly used in the financial information appropriately.

6. We did not jointly audit the financial statements of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th September, 2006, whose Financial Statements reflect total
assets of Rs. 386.23 millions, total revenues of Rs. 99.05 millions and total cash flows of Rs. 0.50
millions for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th September, 2006. These financial statements have
been audited by either of us in our individual capacity or by other auditors, whose reports have
been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of
subsidiaries and an associate, is based solely on reports of the respective auditors except that in the
case of Afcons Constructions Mideast LLC, Afcons Aarsleff Joint Venture and Al-Saeed Afcons
joint venture, our opinion is based on the unaudited separate financial statements prepared by the
Joint Venturers and included in the consolidated financial statements. The unaudited Financial
Statements of the joint ventures reflect total Assets of Rs. 180.80 millions as at 30th September,
2006, total revenues of Rs. 91.65 millions and total cash flows of Rs. 0.96 millions for the period
1st April, 2006 to 30th September, 2006.

7. In accordance with the requirements of Paragraph B of Part II of Schedule II of the Act, the SEBI
Guidelines and terms of our engagement as aforesaid, we further report that:

e) The Consolidated Restated Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities of the Company as
at 31st March, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 30th September, 2006, Consolidated Profits
and Losses and Consolidated Statement of Cash flows of the Company for the year ended
31st March, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th
September, 2006 examined by us, as set out in Annexures I, II and V respectively to this
report are after making adjustments and regrouping as in our opinion are appropriate as per
Annexure IIIA and read with Notes on Adjustments on account of Restatements / Audit
Qualifications as appearing in Annexure IIIB and the Significant Accounting Policies and
Notes to the Accounts as appearing in Annexure IV.

f) Based on above and also as per the reliance placed on reports submitted by either of us in our
individual capacity or by other auditors for subsidiaries and associates, whose reports have
been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect
of subsidiaries and an associate is based solely on reports of the respective auditors for the
respective years and so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of joint ventures
mentioned in paragraphs 4 and 6 above is based on the unaudited financial statements
prepared by the venturers for the year ended 31st March, 2006 and for the period 1st April,
2006 to 30th September, 2006, we are of the opinion that the restated financial information
have been made after incorporating:

(i) Adjustments for the changes in accounting Policies retrospectively in respective

financial years to reflect the same accounting treatment as per changed accounting
policy for all the reporting periods.
(ii) Adjustments for the material amounts in the respective financial years to which they
relate.

264
 (iii) And there are no extra-ordinary items that need to be disclosed separately in the
accounts.

g) The Summary Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Profits and
Losses and Consolidated Statement of Cash flows mentioned in (a) above have not been
restated to reflect the effect of the Auditors’ qualifications as stated hereunder, since the said
qualifications are not capable of precise quantification.

(viii) Non-provision for probable non-recovery of dues from a Partnership firm; (Refer Note
no. B(5)(i) of Annexure IIIB)
(ix) Non-provision for debts and advances; (Refer Note no. B(5)(ii) of Annexure IIIB)
(x) The manner of determination of projected losses in respect of contracts in progress, for
which we have relied upon the management’s current estimates of costs to completion
owing to their technical nature and due to uncertainties of future; (Refer Note no.
B(5)(iii) of Annexure IIIB)
(xi) Non-provision for unbilled revenue; (Refer Note no. B(5)(iv) of Annexure IIIB)
(xii) The manner of accounting for outstanding arbitration awards and interest accrued
thereon; (Refer Note no. B(5)(v) of Annexure IIIB)
(xiii) Accounts of a subsidiary for the year ended 31st March, 2004 and 2005 prepared on
going concern basis; (Refer Note no. B(6)(i) of Annexure IIIB)
(xiv) Non-provision for claims lodged by a subsidiary of the company pending final
settlement/acceptances. As the final amount(s) that may be ultimately realised on these
claims cannot be ascertained, the overall effect of which on the financial statements for
the respective year could not be determined. (Refer Note no. B(6)(ii) of Annexure IIIB)
(xv) Non-updation by a subsidiary of the fixed asset register and no physical verification of
assets being conducted during the year. (Refer Note no. B(6)(iii) of Annexure IIIB)

In view of the fact that in respect of items mentioned under clauses (i) to (vii) above, the probable
loss on account of non-recovery or partial recovery of debts, loans and advances, other
receivables, fall in the value of investments, contracts in progress, Arbitration awards in appeal
etc. are not capable of being estimated and quantified with reasonable accuracy owing to
insufficient evidence and information available which includes, inter alia, a review of events
occurring after the Balance Sheet date, management’s experience of similar transactions and in
some cases reports from independent experts, the overall effect of the above qualifications could
not be determined. Hence, it is not possible to adjust the above non-provisions in the restated
summary statements.

h) We have also examined the following consolidated other financial information set out in
Annexures prepared by the management and approved by the Board of Directors relating to
the Company and its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures for the year ended 31st March,
2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and for the period 1st April, 2006 to 30th September, 2006 for
the purpose of inclusion in the Offer Document:-

(i) Statement of Accounting Ratios included in Annexure VI

(ii) Statement of Capitalization as at 30th September, 2006 included in Annexure VII
(iii) Statement of Tax Shelter included in Annexure VIII
(iv) Statement of Secured Loan included in Annexure IX
(v) Statement of Other Income included in Annexure X
(vi) Statement of Dividend included in Annexure XI
(vii) Statement of Unsecured Loan included in Annexure XII
(viii) Statement of Sundry Debtors included in Annexure XIII
(ix) Statement of Loans and Advances included in Annexure XIV
(x) Statement of Investments included in Annexure XV
(xi) Statement of Contingent Liabilities included in Annexure XVI
(xii) Statement of Related Party transactions included in Annexure XVII

265
8. In our opinion the financial information contained in Annexures I to XVII of this report read along
with the Significant Accounting Policies and Notes to accounts included in Annexure IV to this
report, prepared after making adjustments and regrouping as considered appropriate and read with
our observations contained in paragraph 7(c) above, have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Part II of Schedule II of the Act and the SEBI Guidelines.

9. Our report is intended solely for use of the management and for inclusion in the offer document in
connection with the proposed issue of equity shares of the Company and should not be used for

ANNEXURE IIIB – CONSOLIDATED NOTES ON ADJUSTMENT ON ACCOUNT OF
RESTATEMENTS / AUDIT QUALIFICATIONS

A The following adjustments have been made to the Summary Statement of Profits and Losses,
Summary Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Restated Cash Flow (“Summary
Statements”):

3. Interest on arbitration awards accounted in the year ended 31st March, 2006 in respect of
arbitration awards decided in favour of the company; adjusted in respective years to which it
relates, except as mentioned below:

Afcons Pauling (India) Limited (APIL) a subsidiary of the Company was amalgamated with the
Company with effect from 1st April, 2005. During the year ended 31st March, 2006, interest on
arbitration awards pertaining to earlier years of APIL aggregating to Rs.98.39 million was
accounted as income, which was related to the years prior to amalgamation. For the purpose of this
statement the said interest income has not been adjusted in the respective years, as APIL was not
part of the Company's operation in those years.

4. Provision for diminution in the value of investment in units of UTI was made in the year ended
31st March, 2003.For the purpose of this statement same has been adjusted in the year ended 31st
March, 2002 as such provision was related to the financial year 2001-2002.

B The following adjustments have not been made to the Summary Statements for the reasons
stated therein:

1. The trustees of Afcons Infrastructure Limited Employees Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance

Scheme Trust have taken a Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance Policy from the Life Insurance
Corporation of India (LIC). Provision for gratuity is made on the basis of premium payable in
respect of aforesaid policy and actuarial valuation carried out by the independent actuarial valuer
as at the year end.

The Company has made provision for gratuity liability and unavailed leave for the period ended
30th September, 2006 as per revised Accounting Standard (AS -15) “Employees Benefit” issued by
the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

For the purpose of this statement, Revised AS-15 has not been applied for the years ended March
31, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 as the same was not applicable in those years. Consequently,
additional impact, if any, on account of actuarial valuation of gratuity as per revised (AS 15) has
not been recognised in this statement for those years.

Based on revised actuarial valuation carried out as per Revised (AS-15) for the year ended 31st
March, 2006, there was no additional liability on account of gratuity as on 31st March, 2006.

2. Prior to 1st April, 2004, the Company accounted contract revenue and contract cost in accordance
with the Accounting Standard AS7. “Accounting for Construction Contracts” issued in the year
1983 in respect of contracts entered into before 1st April, 2003 and Accounting Standard AS7
“Construction Contracts (Revised)” issued in the year 2002 in respect of contracts entered into on
or after 1st April, 2003. During the year ended 31st March, 2005, with a view to have uniformity in
accounting treatment, the Company has accounted Contract Revenue and costs in accordance with
AS7 (revised) in respect of all contracts (including contracts entered into prior to 1st April, 2003).
Revenue recognized as a result of this change is Rs.864.45 millions. Adjustment on this account
has not been made in the summary financial statement for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2003
and 2004 in the absence of available information.

272
3. Prior to 1st April, 2004, the Company has accounted work done remaining to be certified / billed
at cost. From the financial year 2004-05 onwards the company has treated work done remaining to
be certified / billed as unbilled Revenue in the accounts and valued the same at the contract rates.
Adjustment on this account has not been made in the summary financial statement for the years
ended March 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in the absence of available information.

4. Prior to 1st April, 2002, it was the practice of the Company to defer expenditure on voluntary
retirement compensation over a period of five years. During the year 2002-03, the company has
changed this practice on the basis of reassessment and has decided to amortize the said
expenditure over a period of 10 years with retrospective effect. This change has the effect of (i)
write back to the profit and loss account excess amount of amortization, Rs.5.37millions (ii)
decreasing the amortization charge for the year by Rs11.71millions (iii) increasing the profit for
the year by Rs 17.09 millions and (iv) increasing the deferred revenue expenditure carried forward
by Rs 17.09 millions. Adjustment on this account have not been made in the summary financial
statement for the years ended March 31, 2002 as in the opinion of the Company, the impact of the
same in the summary statements for the year ended March, 31, 2002 is not material.

The High Court of Judicature at Bombay sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation (SoA) of
Afcons Pauling (India) Limited (APIL), a subsidiary of the Company with the Company. APIL
was engaged in the business of Construction. The amalgamation is accounted in the books of the
Company as per the High Court Order. The effective date of Amalgamation is 18th May, 2006
and the appointed date is 1st April 2005. Accordingly, the SoA has been given effect to in the
accounts. Pursuant to the SoA:

(g) the assets and liabilities of APIL on the appointed date have been taken at book values
(subject to adjustments made as given in the SoA);

(h) debit balances in the Profit and Loss account of APIL has been aggregated with the
balances in Profit and Loss account of the Company.

(i) in consideration for the transfer, the minority shareholders of APIL are to be issued 1
(one) Zero Coupon Redeemable Preference Shares of the Company (of Rs. 10/- each)
to be redeemed on the expiry of 24 months from the date of issue at a premium of 10%
of the face value for every 10 (ten) equity shares held by them in APIL. These have
been shown under share capital.

(j) the (deficit) of the value of the assets over the value of the liabilities taken over by the
Company and aggregate face value of the Redeemable preference shares to be issued
by the Company as stated above, after adjusting the debit balance in Profit and Loss
Account taken over, has been adjusted against General Reserve Account (to the extent
of Rs. 48.65 millions);

treatment given in the SoA for the same, than as per the Accounting Standard (AS) 14

would not have been aggregated with the balance in profit and loss account of the
Company and there would have been “Goodwill on Amalgamation” aggregating to Rs.
180.72 millions.

3. The Company holds investment of Rs. 39.67 millions in its subsidiary company, Afcons
Pauling (India) Limited (APIL), representing 75% of the share capital of that company.
APIL owes to the Company Debts, aggregating to Rs.118.99 millions and advances,

290
 aggregating to Rs. 276.81 millions as on 31st Mach,2005. As per the latest audited accounts
of APIL, as at 31st March,2005, its net worth stands eroded. APIL has substantial
experience of nearly two decades in the execution of road projects. Therefore, in
combination with the company, it has been working on a business plan for generating future
revenues in the preferred lines of business of roads and highways construction and is very
hopeful of bagging jobs. APIL has also preferred huge claims against its clients that are
subject matter of arbitration where it is confident of positive outcome. It is therefore
confident of paying back advances of the company out of the above and also out of monies
falling due from its debtors in 2005-06. Hence, no provision is deemed necessary for
diminution in the value of the Company's investment in APIL and also for amounts due
from it, which are considered good and recoverable.

4. Hitherto, the Company accounted contract revenue and contract cost in accordance with the
Accounting Standard AS7. “Accounting for Construction Contracts” issued in the year
1983 in respect of contracts entered into before 01-04-2003 and Accounting Standard AS7
“Construction Contracts (Revised)” issued in the year 2002 in respect of contracts entered
into on or after 01-04-2003.During the year, with a view to have uniformity in accounting
treatment, the Company has accounted Contract Revenue and costs in accordance with AS7
(revised) in respect of all contracts (including contracts entered into prior to 01-04-2003).
Revenue recognized as a result of this change is Rs. 864.45 millions.

over a period of five years. During the year 2002-03, the company has changed this practice

of 10 years with retrospective effect. This change has the effect of (i) write back to the
profit and loss account excess amount of amortization, Rs. 5.37 millions (ii) decreasing the
amortization charge for the year by Rs 11.71 millions (iii) increasing the profit for the year
by Rs 17.09 millions and (iv)increasing the deferred revenue expenditure carried forward
by Rs 17.09 millions.

Notes:
1) The above ratios have been computed on the basis of the restated Summary Statements as per Annexures
I and II
2) Since the potential equity shares have an anti-dilutive effect, diluted EPS is same as basic EPS.
3) The effect of potential dilution pursuant to the proposed issue has not been considered since the quantum
of equity shares that will ultimately be subscribed cannot be ascertained at present.
4) Return on Net Worth (%) represents Profit/(Loss) after tax as restated, divided by Net Worth.
5) Net Assets Value is calculated as Net Worth (excluding Preference Share Capital) at the end of each
financial year divided by the number of equity shares at the end of each financial year.

Overview

We are a civil engineering and construction company in India and we are the flagship infrastructure
construction company of the Shapoorji Pallonji group, a well-known and reputed name in the construction
industry. We have an experience of over four decades in construction industry, which includes a wide
variety of infrastructure projects like marine works, bridges, fly-overs, roads, general civil engineering
works including industrial structures, nuclear power projects, tunneling, pipelines, LNG storage tanks and
special foundation works such as piling, diaphragm wall, pre-stressed anchors, drilling and grouting and
other ground improvement works throughout India. We have also successfully completed and are currently
engaged in execution of projects in Middle East and Africa.

Over the years we have developed an expertise in marine works and we believe that we have an established
reputation and expertise in this service line through successful execution of more than 150 structures along
the Indian coastline. We have also successfully completed more than 100 bridges, flyovers, viaducts, two
LNG storage tanks, underground and elevated train corridors and have executed 2,000 lane kilo meters of
road works.

We enter into contracts primarily through a competitive bidding process at the domestic and the
international level. We have worked on projects for Qatar Petroleum, Shell, Reliance Industries Limited,
Mumbai Port Trust, Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and are
currently undertaking projects for National Highway Authority of India, Ministry of Transport and
Communication, Sultanate of Oman. Of the above clients, we have several repeat orders from Reliance
Industries Limited, Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, National Thermal Power Corporation and
DMRC.

We focus on technology and constantly strive to develop new technologies and innovations in-house to
execute large and complex civil engineering and construction works in a cost-efficient and timely manner.
For instance, we developed the micro piling technology as early as 1970 and subsequently patented this
technology for underpinning works to strengthen existing structures. We have successfully been using the

316
in-house developed Sahayadri Lift Barge for over 15 years now for our shallow as well as deep water
projects. The Sahayadri Lift Barge has a hydraulic lift crane capable of lifting 1200 tonnes. .

In the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 5,541.88 million and Rs.
7,177.67 million, respectively, representing an annual growth rate of 29.52 %. In the six months ended
September 30, 2006, our consolidated income was Rs. 4,123.85 million. In the years ended March 31, 2005
and 2006, we incurred a consolidated loss of Rs. 14.71 million and earned a consolidated net profit for the
year of Rs. 47.85 million respectively, while our consolidated net profit for the six months ended
September 30, 2006 was Rs. 48.98 million. Our order book, which includes the projects awarded to us but
where we have not yet commenced work and the unfinished and uncertified portions of our commenced
projects was Rs. 30,303.4 million as of September 30, 2006, out of which, domestic projects and
international projects accounted for Rs. 27,682.50 million and Rs. 2,620.90 million respectively. We have
added contracts aggregating Rs. 222.0 million to our order book during the period October 1, 2006 to
December 31, 2006 which are all domestic projects.

As of September 30, 2006, our work force consisted of approximately 1,473 full time employees and more
than 2,695 temporary labour based around India, enabling us to mobilize our skilled employee resources
depending on the location and the necessary expertise for projects undertaken by us. Our equipments and
skilled employee resources, together with our civil engineering capabilities enable us to successfully
implement modern civil engineering construction methodologies. We enjoy the ISO 9001:2000 BVQI
accreditation and have received several awards, certifications and appreciation letters from clients for our
operations and projects such as the appreciation letter from Shell for the construction of jetty for docking of
LNG carriers and other marine works at Hazira,

We are committed to adhering to health, safety and environment policies and practices in the execution of
our projects. We have received the Safety Award 2005 by the National Safety Council of India in respect of
the Sone Bridge, Bihar and ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999 certifications by BVQI for the
construction of elevated viaduct for Delhi Metro Rail Project.

We are a part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, which is one of the leading conglomerates in India with over
140 years of experience in the construction industry. Its business interests ranges from construction,
building materials and real estate to aluminum, finance, biotech, power and fuel oil additives. The
Shapoorji Pallonji Group also has a significant presence overseas having been involved in real estate
development and construction since 1970. We are the flagship company of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group in
the infrastructure construction sector.

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

General economic and business conditions.

As a company operating in India, we are affected by the general economic conditions in the country and in
particular the factors affecting the infrastructure industry in general and the projects we develop in
particular. The Indian economy has grown steadily over the past three years and registered an impressive
growth of 8.9% in Q1 FY 2007. This improved performance was propelled by the growth in industrial
activity and robust services sector. Quality infrastructure, covering the services of transportation, energy,
urban infrastructure and industrial and commercial infrastructure is one of the important necessities for
promoting and sustaining this economic growth. Growth in the industrial and manufacturing activity and
services sector leads to growth in demand for infrastructure facilities which translates into new proposals
for construction, up-gradation and maintenance of infrastructure facilities. Also, improvements in
infrastructure facilities in turn have a strong impact upon GDP growth. The overall economic growth will
therefore impact the results of our operations. The growth prospects of our business and our ability to
implement our strategies will be influenced by macro-economic factors affecting the economy and business
conditions.

317
Growth in the infrastructure sector.

Over the past few years, the Government of India’s focus on and sustained increase in budgetary allocation
for the infrastructure sector and the development of a structured and comprehensive infrastructure policy
that encourages greater private sector participation as well as increased funding by international and
multilateral development financial institutions for infrastructure projects in India has resulted in several
large infrastructure projects in this sector which have been key to our results of operations. Going forward,
we believe the Govt policy on the sector and future budgetary allocations for the same would remain a key
factor influencing the evolution of infrastructure sector which would directly affect our business.

Competition.

We compete against major construction and engineering companies like Larsen & Toubro, Hindustan
Construction Company Limited, Gammon India Limited, IVRCL Infrastructure and Projects Limited,
Simplex Infrastructure Limited and ITD Cementation. Our competition for a particular project varies
depending on the size, nature and complexity of the project and on the geographical region in which the
project is to be executed. In selecting contractors for major projects, clients generally invite the tenders
from contractors that have pre-qualified based on several criteria including experience, technological
capability, capacity, performance, reputation for quality, safety record, financial strength and bonding
capacity and size of previous contracts in similar projects, although price competitiveness of the bid is the
most important selection criterion. Pre-qualification is one of the key factors to our winning major
projects. The company has adopted quite a selective approach in pursuing new business with adequate
focus on risk-return analysis. The company identifies the new business areas or geographical locations for
expansion thereby building up its order book.

Ability to attract and retain skilled personnel

A significant number of our employees are skilled engineers and we face competitive pressures in
recruiting and retaining skilled and professionally qualified staff. Since the project management and
technological skills of a company primarily rests with its skilled employees, the loss of key personnel or
any inability to manage the attrition levels in different employee categories may materially and adversely
impact our results of operations.

Increase in prices of major inputs such as steel, cement and petroleum products.

To the extent possible, the company has decided to avoid fixed price contracts and pursue only those
projects where either steel / cement is supplied by the client free of charge or at basic rate or price
escalation is provided in the contract. This will enable the company to minimize the impact of adverse
price fluctuations in the future. The company also ensures the supply of these materials directly from
the manufacturer and enters into MOU / Project specific Rate contracts.

Weather conditions.

Our business operations may be adversely affected by severe weather conditions, which may require us to
evacuate personnel or curtail services. Further, it may result in damage to a portion of our fleet of
equipment or facilities resulting in the suspension of operations and may prevent us from delivering
materials or essential equipments to our jobsites in accordance with stipulated contract schedules or
generally reduce our productivity. Our operations are also adversely affected by difficult working
conditions like extremely high temperatures during summer months and heavy rains during monsoon which
restrict our ability to carry on construction activities and fully utilize our resources. Our revenues are
accounted on an accrual basis. Revenue from contracts is recognized on the percentage completion method
based on billing schedules agreed with the client on a progressive completion basis. As previously
mentioned, our operations are adversely affected during monsoons. Accordingly, revenues recorded in the
first half of our financial year between April and September are traditionally lower than revenues recorded
during the other quarters of our financial year and hence comparison of our financials on a quarter to
quarter basis would not be relevant for this specific period of the year.

318
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

To the extent that our income and expenditure are not denominated in the same currency, exchange rate
fluctuations could cause some of our costs to grow higher than the proportionate revenues on a given
contract or on the contrary, could also result in some of our costs falling below budget resulting in higher
profitability. Further, being active in foreign markets, a part of our revenues is also exposed to favorable or
negative movements in foreign exchange. Our future capital expenditure may include imported equipment
and machinery which may be denominated in currencies other than Indian rupees. Therefore, any decline
in the value of the rupee against such other currencies could increase the rupee cost of purchasing such
equipment thus affecting our results of operations.

OUR SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies (for the financial statements as at and for the half year ended
September 30, 2006)

a) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition/ construction or book value and include amounts
added on revaluation less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold improvements have been
capitalized and are written off over the lease term from the date(s) of installation.

b) Impairment loss

Impairment loss is provided to the extent the carrying amount of assets exceeds their
recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its
value in use. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise
from the continuing use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Net
selling price is the amount obtainable from sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction
between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

c) Depreciation

Depreciation on fixed assets is provided on the straight-line basis. Cost of the Intangible
assets are amortised over a period of five years.

d) Investments

Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value. Long-term investments are
carried at cost. However, when there is a decline, other than temporary, the carrying amount
is reduced to recognize the decline.

e) Inventories

Construction materials, stores and spare parts are valued at lower of cost and net realizable
value. Cost is determined on the basis of weighted average method. Cost of shuttering
materials (included in construction materials) issued to jobs, is charged off equally over a
period of four years.

f) Unbilled Revenue

Work done remaining to be certified/ billed is treated as Unbilled Revenue in the accounts.
The same is valued at the contract rates.

319
g) Retention monies

Amounts retained by the clients until satisfactory completion of the contract(s) are recognised
in the financial statements as receivables. Where such retention monies have been released by
the clients against submission of bank guarantees, the amounts so released are adjusted
against receivables from these clients.

h) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency, including in respect of branch operations integral in nature,

are recorded at the original rates of exchange in force at the time the transactions are effected.
At the year end, monetary items, including those of branch operations integral in nature,
denominated in foreign currency are reported using the closing rates of exchange. Exchange
differences arising thereon and on realization/ payment of foreign exchange are accounted for
in the relevant year as income or expense except in the case of fixed assets acquired from
outside India, in which case, these are adjusted in the carrying amounts of such assets.

i) Revenue recognition on contracts

(i) Contract revenue and expenses are recognized, when outcome can be estimated reliably, on the
basis of percentage completion method. Percentage of completion is determined based on
the nature of contracts, either in proportion of contract costs incurred up to the reporting
date to the estimated total cost or on the basis of physical proportion of the contract work
completed.

(ii) Variations (in contracts) and amounts in respect thereof are recognized only when it is
probable that the customer(s) will approve them and amounts can be measured reliably.

(iii) Claims and amounts in respect thereof are recognized only when negotiations have
advanced to stage where it is probable that the customer(s) will accept them and amounts
can be reliably measured.

j) Retirement benefits

1. Gratuity

The trustees of Afcons Infrastructure Limited Employees Group Gratuity-cum-Life

Assurance Scheme Trust have taken a Group Gratuity-cum-Life Assurance Policy from
the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Provision for gratuity is made on the basis
of premium payable in respect of the aforesaid policy and actuarial valuation carried out
by the independent actuarial valuer as at the year end.

2. Superannuation

The trustees of Afcons Infrastructure Limited Superannuation Scheme Trust have taken a
Group Superannuation policy from the LIC. Provision for superannuation is made on the
basis of premium payable in respect of the aforesaid policy.

3. Provident fund

Contribution as required under the statute/ rules is made to the Company’s Provident
Fund/ Government Provident Fund.

4. Leave encashment

320
 Provision for leave encashment benefits is made based on the expected cost of unavailed
earned leave.

k) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of

qualifying assets are capitalized as a part of the cost of such assets. A qualifying asset is one
that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. All
other borrowing costs are charged to revenue.

l) Deferred revenue expenditure

The expenditure on voluntary retirement compensation is treated as ‘Deferred Revenue

Expenditure’ and amortized over a period of ten years.

m) Finance lease rentals

These are accounted over the life of the asset determined on the basis of technical evaluation
made by an independent valuer/ surveyor.

n) Doubtful debts and advances

Provision is made in the accounts for debts and advances which in the opinion of the
management are considered doubtful of recovery.

o) Taxes on income

Tax expense comprises both current and deferred tax at the applicable enacted/ substantively
enacted rates. Current tax represents the amount of income-tax payable/ recoverable in respect
of the taxable income/ loss for the reporting period. Deferred tax represents the effect of
timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the reporting period
that originate in one period and are capable of reversal in one or more subsequent periods.
Provision for Fringe Benefits Tax is made in accordance with Chapter XII-H of the Income-
tax Act, 1961

p) Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal and constructive obligation as a
result of a past event, for which it is probable that cash outflow will be required and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are disclosed
when the Company has a possible or present obligation where it is not probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle it. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor
disclosed.

project. For example, for our construction activities, we may consider using varying proportions of manual
or mechanized labor depending on the project specifications and conditions, or decide to sub-contract parts
of such construction activities, resulting in, for example, a varying proportion of labor, fuel and/or sub-
contractor costs. In addition, in EPC projects, expenditure relating to procurement of equipment and
materials constitute a significantly higher proportion of the total expenditure incurred in comparison with
other infrastructure projects, where fuel and labor costs constitute a significantly higher proportion of the
expenditure.

Foreign currency risk

To the extent that our income and expenditure are not denominated in the same currency, exchange rate
fluctuations could cause some of our costs to grow higher than the proportionate revenues on a given
contract or could also result in some of our costs falling below budget resulting in higher profitability. Our
future capital expenditure may include imported equipment and machinery which may be denominated in
currencies other than Indian rupees. Therefore, declines in the value of the rupee against such other
currencies could increase the rupee cost of purchasing such equipment which may not be completely offset
by the corresponding increase in the income as a result of decline in rupee.

Interest rate risk

Changes in interest rates could affect our financial condition and results of operations as it is directly linked
to our borrowing. If the interest rates for our existing or future borrowings increase significantly, our cost
of servicing such debt will increase. This may impact our results of operations, planned capital
expenditures and cash flows.

However, Changes in interest rate will not have significant impact on our financial position.

Inflation

In recent years, although India has experienced fluctuation in inflation rates, inflation has not had material
impact on our business and results of operations. According to CMIE, inflation in India was approximately
3.7%, 6.5%, 4.6% and 5.1% in fiscal 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively. In most of our project work
the risk related to inflation is covered by escalation linked to material indices.

Our revenues are also dependent on the stage of the project and the nature and level of activity involved
during each stage. In addition, our operations are also adversely affected during a monsoon, which restricts
our ability to carry out construction activities and fully utilize our resources. Accordingly, revenues
recorded in the first half of the financial year between April to September are traditionally lower than
revenues recorded in the second half of the financial year.

Method and Process of Bidding

(a) Each Bid cum Application Form will give the Bidder the choice to bid for up to three optional
prices (for details refer to the paragraph titled “Bids at Different Price Levels” on page 381 within
the Price Band and specify the demand (i.e., the number of Equity Shares Bid for) in each option.
The price and demand options submitted by the Bidder in the Bid cum Application Form will be
treated as optional demands from the Bidder and will not be cumulated. After determination of the
Issue Price, the maximum number of Equity Shares Bid for by a Bidder at or above the Issue Price
will be considered for allocation/Allotment and the rest of the Bid(s), irrespective of the Bid Price,
will become automatically invalid.

(b) The Bidder cannot bid on another Bid cum Application Form after Bids on one Bid cum
Application Form have been submitted to any member of the Syndicate. Submission of a second
Bid cum Application Form to either the same or to another member of the Syndicate will be
treated as multiple Bids and is liable to be rejected either before entering the Bid into the
electronic bidding system, or at any point of time prior to the allocation or Allotment of Equity
Shares in this Issue. However, the Bidder can revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the
procedure for which is detailed under the paragraph titled “Bids at Different Price Levels and

380
 Revision of Bids” on page 381.

(c) The Members of the Syndicate will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a
separate Bid and generate a Transaction Registration Slip, (“TRS”), for each price and demand
option and give the same to the Bidder. Therefore, a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for each
Bid cum Application Form.

(d) During the Bidding/Issue Period, Bidders may approach the members of the Syndicate to submit
their Bid. Every member of the Syndicate shall accept Bids from all clients / investors who place
orders through them and shall have the right to vet the Bids, subject to the terms of the Syndicate
Agreement and the Red Herring Prospectus.

(e) Along with the Bid cum Application Form, all Bidders will make payment in the manner
described under the paragraph titled “Terms of Payment and Payment into the Escrow Accounts”
on page 388.

Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids

(a) The Bidder can bid at any price within the Price Band in multiples of Re. 1 (One). The Bidder has
to bid for the desired number of Equity Shares at a specific price. Retail Individual Bidders and
Eligible Employees applying for a maximum Bid in any of the bidding options not exceeding Rs.
100,000 may bid at Cut-off Price. However, bidding at Cut-off Price is prohibited for QIB, Non-
Institutional Bidders and Eligible Employees bidding in excess of Rs. 100,000 and such Bids shall
be rejected.

(b) Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees who bid at the Cut-Off Price agree that they
shall purchase the Equity Shares at any price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders and
Eligible Employees bidding at Cut-Off Price shall deposit the Bid Price based on the higher end of
the Price Band in the Escrow Account. In the event the Bid Price is higher than the subscription
amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees, who Bid at Cut off Price
(i.e., the total number of Equity Shares allocated in the Issue multiplied by the Issue Price), the
Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees, who Bid at Cut off Price, shall receive the
refund of the excess amounts from the Escrow Account.

(c) In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and
Eligible Employees who had bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make
additional payment based on the higher end of the Revised Price Band (such that the total amount
i.e., original Bid Price plus additional payment does not exceed Rs. 1,00,000, if such Bidder wants
to continue to bid at Cut-off Price), with the Syndicate Member to whom the original Bid was
submitted. In case the total amount (i.e., original Bid Price plus additional payment) exceeds Rs.
1,00,000 for Retail Individual Bidders the Bid will be considered for allocation under the Non-
Institutional Portion in terms of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. If, however, such Bidder does
not either revise the Bid or make additional payment and the Issue Price is higher than the higher
end of the Price Band prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares bid for shall be adjusted
downwards for the purpose of Allotment, such that the no additional payment would be required
from such Bidder and such Bidder is deemed to have approved such revised Bid at Cut-off Price.

(d) In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders
and Eligible Employees who have bid at Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess
amount paid at the time of bidding would be refunded from the Escrow Account.

(e) In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum
application size shall remain [●] Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Price payable on
such minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000.

381
(f) During the Bidding/ Issue Period, any Bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity
Shares at a particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the
printed Revision Form, which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form.

(g) Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid price by using the
Revision Form. Apart from mentioning the revised options in the revision form, the Bidder must
also mention the details of all the options in his or her Bid cum Application Form or earlier
Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in the Bid cum Application
Form and he is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form, he must still fill the details
of the other two options that are not being revised, in the Revision Form. The members of the
Syndicate will not accept incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms.

(h) The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding Period. However, for
any revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same member of the
Syndicate through whom he or she had placed the original Bid.

(i) Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be made
only in such Revision Form or copies thereof.

(j) Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft
for the incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. The
excess amount, if any, resulting from downward revision of the Bid would be returned to the
Bidder at the time of refund in accordance with the terms of the Red Herring Prospectus. In case
of QIB Bidders, the members of the Syndicate shall collect the payment in the form of cheque or
demand draft for the incremental amount in the QIB Margin Amount, if any, to be paid on account
of the upward revision of the Bid at the time of one or more revisions by the QIB Bidders.

(k) When a Bidder revises his or her Bid, he or she shall surrender the earlier TRS and get a revised
TRS from the members of the Syndicate. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to request for
and obtain the revised TRS, which will act as proof of his or her having revised the previous
Bid.

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS

Joint Bids in the case of Individuals

389
Bids may be made in single or joint names (not more than three). In the case of joint Bids, all payments will
be made out in favour of the Bidder whose name appears first in the Bid cum Application Form or Revision
Form. All communications will be addressed to the First Bidder and will be dispatched to his or her address
as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.

Multiple Bids

A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares
required. Two or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or First Bidder is one and the
same. Bid/ Application by Eligible Employees can be made also in the “Net Issue to the Public” and such
bids shall not be treated as multiple bids.

In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple
applications are given below:

1. All applications with the same name and age will be accumulated and taken to a separate process
file which would serve as a multiple master.

2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN. In cases where the PAN is different,
the same will be deleted from this master.

3. The Registrar will obtain, from the depositories, details of the applicant’s address based on the DP
ID and Beneficiary Account Number provided in the Bid-cum-Application Form and create an
address master.

4. The addresses of all the applications in the multiple master will be strung from the address master.
This involves putting the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non-numeric
characters i.e. commas, full stops, hash etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of address and pin
code will be converted into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried
out amongst all the applications processed. A print-out of the addresses will be taken to check for
common names. The applications with same name and same address will be treated as multiple
applications.

5. The applications will be scrutinised for DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case
applications bear the same DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers, these will be treated as
multiple applications.

6. Subsequent to the aforesaid procedures, a print out of the multiple master will be taken and the
applications physically verified to tally signatures as also father’s/ husband’s names. On
completion of this, the applications will be identified as multiple applications.

In case of a mutual fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the mutual fund
registered with SEBI and such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual fund will not be
treated as multiple Bids provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme concerned for which the Bid has
been made.

The Company reserves the right to reject, in our absolute discretion, all or any multiple Bids in any or all
categories.

Permanent Account Number or PAN

Where Bid(s) is/ are for Rs. 50,000 or more, the Bidder or in the case of a Bid in joint names, each of the
Bidders, should mention his/ her Permanent Account Number (PAN) allotted under the I.T. Act. The copy
of the PAN card or PAN allotment letter is required to be submitted with the Bid-cum-Application
Form. Applications without this information and documents will be considered incomplete and are liable to

390
be rejected. It is to be specifically noted that Bidders should not submit the GIR number instead of
the PAN as the Bid is liable to be rejected on this ground. In case the Sole/First Bidder and Joint
Bidder(s) is/are not required to obtain PAN, each of the Bidder(s) shall mention “Not Applicable” and in
the event that the sole Bidder and/or the joint Bidder(s) have applied for PAN which has not yet been
allotted each of the Bidder(s) should Mention “Applied for” in the Bid cum Application Form. Further,
where the Bidder(s) has mentioned “Applied for” or “Not Applicable”, the Sole/First Bidder and each of
the Joint Bidder(s), as the case may be, would be required to submit Form 60 (Form of declaration to be
filed by a person who does not have a permanent account number and who enters into any transaction
specified in rule 114B), or, Form 61 (form of declaration to be filed by a person who has agricultural
income and is not in receipt of any other income chargeable to income tax in respect of transactions

issued on December 1, 2004 by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, Central Board of
Direct Taxes. All Bidders are requested to furnish, where applicable, the revised Form 60 or 61, as
the case may be.

UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER - MAPIN

Unique Identification Number (“UIN”)

With effect from July 1, 2005, SEBI had decided to suspend all fresh registrations for obtaining UIN and
the requirement to contain/ quote UIN under the SEBI MAPIN Regulations/Circulars vide its circular
MAPIN/Cir-13/2005. However, in a recent press release dated December 30, 2005, SEBI has approved
certain policy decisions and has now decided to resume registrations for obtaining UINs in a phased
manner. The press release states that the cut off limit for obtaining UIN has been raised from the existing
limit of trade order value of Rs. 100,000 to Rs. 500,000 or more. The limit will be reduced progressively.
For trade order value of less than Rs. 500,000 an option will be available to investors to obtain either the
PAN or UIN. These changes are, however, not effective as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
and SEBI has stated in the press release that the changes will be implemented only after necessary
amendments are made to the SEBI MAPIN Regulations.

on proportionate basis among 5 Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 shares in
QIB category.

3. The balance 114 million Equity Shares (i.e. 120 - 6 (available for MFs)) will be allocated

• For Mutual Funds (MF1 to MF5)= [(No. of shares bid for (i.e. in column II of
the table above) less Equity Shares allotted ( i.e., column III of the table above)]
X 114/494

• The numerator and denominator for arriving at allocation of 114 million shares
to the 10 QIBs are reduced by 6 million shares, which have already been
Allotted to Mutual Funds in the manner specified in column III of the table

Method of Proportionate Basis of Allotment in the Issue

In the event of the Issue being over-subscribed, the Company shall finalise the basis of Allotment in
consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange. The Executive Director (or any other senior official
nominated by them) of the Designated Stock Exchange along with the BRLM, the CBRLMs and the
Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for ensuring that the basis of Allotment is finalised in a fair and
proper manner.

The Allotment shall be made in marketable lots, on a proportionate basis as explained below:

a) Bidders will be categorised according to the number of Equity Shares applied for.

b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on
a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category
(number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for)
multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio.

c) Number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a

proportionate basis, which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that
category multiplied by the inverse of the over-subscription ratio.

d) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than [●] Equity Shares per Bidder, the
Allotment shall be made as follows:

• The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a category shall be determined by
draw of lots in a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares Allotted in that
category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in accordance with (b) above;
and

• Each successful Bidder shall be Allotted a minimum of [●] Equity Shares.

e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [●]but is not a multiple of
one (which is the market lot), the decimal would be rounded off to the higher whole number if that
decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5, it would be rounded off to the lower
whole number. Allotment to all Bidders in such categories would be arrived at after such rounding
off.

f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity
Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for
Allotment shall be first adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted shares are not
sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance

398
 Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising
Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.

PAYMENT OF REFUND

Bidders must note that on the basis of name of the Bidders, Depository Participant’s name, DP ID,
Beneficiary Account number provided by them in the Bid-cum-Application Form, the Registrar will obtain,

Recognition (“MICR”) code as appearing on a cheque leaf. Hence Bidders are advised to immediately
update their bank account details as appearing on the records of the Depository Participant. Please note that
failure to do so could result in delays in despatch of refund order or refunds through electronic transfer of
funds, as applicable, and any such delay shall be at the Bidders’ sole risk and neither the Company, the
Registrar, Escrow Collection Bank(s), Bankers to the Issue nor the BRLM nor the CBRLMs shall be liable

investment is freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior
approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such
investment. As per current foreign investment policies, foreign investment in the construction and
engineering sector is permitted under the automatic route.

By way of Circular No. 53 dated December 17, 2003, the RBI has permitted FIIs to subscribe to shares of
an Indian company in a public offer without the prior approval of the RBI, so long as the price of the equity
shares to be issued is not less than the price at which the equity shares are issued to residents.

Transfers of equity shares previously required the prior approval of the FIPB. However, vide a RBI circular
dated October 4, 2004 issued by the RBI, the transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-
resident does not require the prior approval of the FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the
investee company are under the automatic route under the foreign direct investment (FDI) Policy and
transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers)
Regulations, 1997 (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI policy, and
(iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.

Subscription by foreign investors (NRIs/FIIs)

There is no reservation for Non Residents, NRIs, FIIs, foreign venture capital funds, multi-lateral and
bilateral development financial institutions and any other foreign investor. All Non Residents, NRIs, FIIs
and foreign venture capital funds, multi-lateral and bilateral development financial institutions and any
other foreign investor applicants will be treated on the same basis with other categories for the purpose of
allocation.

As per existing regulations, OCBs cannot participate in the Issue.
