REVIEW OF OPERATIONS :

During the year 2014-15, the growth in operating income and profitability of construction companies remained muted which implies that execution is yet to pick up in a meaningful manner. This can be partly attributed to stretched financial position of many construction companies which has constrained resources for speeding up execution. The improvement in liquidity profile and credit metrics of construction companies will take some more time and will be subject to improvement in working condition.

The construction/infrastructure sector is likely to get major boost from the Government's focus on development of infrastructure in India. With the political stability, sharper focus on infrastructure development and improvement in economy, new projects announcements by both the public and private sector are likely to pickup in FY16. The Budget 2015 has taken a pro-growth stance and it does appear that the government is keen to expedite the growth process by directly contributing to investment. In the Budget the government announced increase in investment in infrastructure by Rs.70,000 crores for 2015-16 and the allocation in the roads sector has been increased by Rs.14,000 crores and that in railways by Rs.10,000 crores. Therefore that the recovery in the construction sector is certain but expected to be gradual linked to policy measures of the government.

During the year under review the company turnover has been declined to Rs.1601.14 crores from Rs.1812.53 crores in the previous year. The turnover is declined during the year 2014-15 mainly due to slow progress of the road projects in the north-east sector and held up irrigation projects in the Telangana State for technical/political reasons and land acquisitions issues. The EBITDA margins have decreased to 13.20% as compared to 15.00% in the previous year and PAT margin have decreased to 1.37% as against 2.62% in the previous year. The decrease in profit margins is due to fixed overheads such as financial cost, work expenses and other expenses vis-a-vis lower level of revenue.

Future Outlook :

The Company outstanding order book as on 31st March 2015 is of Rs.6,200 crores and so far during the current year company has short listed as lowest bidder for new road orders valued about Rs. 4,875 crores. The total order book including new works is about Rs. 11,075 crores. The strong order book coupled with the future tenders the company planning to bid will give major boost to the company in terms of revenue and profitability in the coming time.

DIVIDEND:

Despite the Difficult economic conditions your directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of Rs.1.00 per equity share (10%) of the face value of Rs.10/- for the period ended 31st March, 2015.

The dividend, subject to approval at the AGM on 28th day of September, 2015, will be paid to the shareholders; whose names appear on the Register of Members on 22nd September, 2015.

It is proposed to transfer Rs.500.00 Lakhs to the General Reserves of the Company from the current year profits.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Your Company has an comfortable order book of Rs. 7273.45 Crores as on 31st March 2014 but translation of the order book into revenues is remains a challenge due to delays in obtaining statutory clearances, land acquisition, indecision making by authorities and delay in settlement of disputes and claims. The finance cost of the company is gone-up due stretched working capital cycles and additional loans borrowed. The input cost of raw materials has gone-up due to delays in the projects execution. The above factors have pulled down the profit margins of the company. Despite the unfavorable economic conditions, the company has achieved a turnover of Rs. 1812.53 Crores in FY 2014, which is lower by 10% as compared to previous year. The PAT margins are reduced to 2.62% in FY 2014 from 3.12% in FY 2013 mainly due higher interest cost and material cost

Your Directors are pleased to inform that during the year under report, the Company has secured orders of Rs. 443.71 crores including the following major contracts.

- Construction of Railway Formation for Tata Steel Ltd., Kalinganagar - Rs. 275.86 Crores

- Modernization of Yeluru Irrigation and Drainage System - Rs. 103.79 Crores

- Construction of Kudri Barrage Project - Rs. 43.28 Crores

The Company has promoted 8 Road Projects out of which 6 road projects are completed and annuity/tolls are being collected and 2 are under execution. The Company has promoted 2 coal based thermal power projects of 1320 MW each, out of which one project is likely to achieve COD in the current financial year and the other one in coming financial year.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Construction is one of the core sectors of IndiaRs.s economy and the revival of this sector is crucial for over all development of the economy. The newly formed stable government at the center will boost the economy with a greater emphasis on the progress of the reform of infrastructure and investment. The new central government has set the target of developing 1000 km of expressways, developing 8,737 km of roads, including 3,846 km of national highways, in the North East , four-laning 20, 000 km of national highways and widening 20,000 km of national highways to two lanes. In the policy front the Central Government has permitted 100% FDI under the automatic route for all road development projects. In short term the execution challenges are expected to persist and the revenue growth rates continue to remain muted. In long run the construction sector will have positive outlook. Your company having execution capabilities, trained manpower, healthy order book and other resources is in more advantageous position than peers.

Thermal Powertech Corporation India Ltd (TPCL), is the first coal based thermal power project of 1320 MW promoted by the company which is expected to start commercial operation during FY 2015 and the second power project of 1320 MW is under implementation. The company promoted BOT road projects are started giving revenue and the revenue are likely to improve in future with the accelerated growth of economy.On the whole the profits and cash flows of the company is expected to improve in near future.

AUDITORS'' REPORT

Management Observation on Auditors Observations:

Joint Venture Losses:

The response of the Directors to the comments of the Auditors in their report on Financial Statements is as under:

The IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture losses are not considered in the books of your company in view of the various claims made on the employer for their contractual failures by the joint ventures and the losses which are primarily attributed to such failures are likely to be decided in favor of the joint venture. The JV has raised claims in excess of Rs.300 Crores on the National Highways Authority of India and Andhra Pradesh State Government, which are pending for consideration before the appropriate legal forum.

Present Status of Claims:

a) The amount of claims awarded in favor of the joint venture is Rs.64.82 crores ( including interest of Rs.34.46 Crores) out of which Rs.18.78 crores payment received.

b) The amount of claims which are under adjudication are Rs.274.19 crores.

The management is confident to recovering substantial amount of claims. The management is of theopinion that the excess expenditure is expected to flow back through future cash flows on settlement of the claims by the employer. In the unlikely situation of not awarding the entire amount of claims, GPL has to provide an amount of Rs.46.30 crores towards its share of 40% in the IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

Over the last few years, the Indian economy has been in a phase of unparalleled growth of about 8-10% per year, making it one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Sustaining this rate of growth will need huge investments in physical infrastructure such as roads, water, power and urban sectors. Preliminary estimates suggest that investment in infrastructure would need to increase from the current 4.6% of GDP to about 8% during the 11th Plan. The Construction sector accounts for nearly 45% of the total investment in infrastructure and is expected to be the prime beneficiary of the surge in infrastructure investment in the near to medium term. The importance that the Government of India (GoI) places on bridging the country's acute infrastructure deficit is evident from the two fold increase in the planned outlay for the infrastructure sector in the XIIth five year plan. The construction sector has witnessed robust growth in order inflows during the last few quarters, benefiting from increased spending on transportation, power, and urban infrastructure, besides from an increase in the award of build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts. The two-fold increase in the plan outlay envisaged for infrastructure during the XIIth Five-Year Plan is likely to further augment order inflows for construction companies in the near to medium term. The 11th Five Year Plan envisages an infrastructure investment of Rs. 20,561 billion which includes Roads sector investment of Rs 3,142 millions, Irrigation sector investment of Rs 2,533 millions. NHAI has announced that 11,050 KM roads will be announced in the current year involving investment of Rs 70,000 crores, as per the target fixed by the GoI.

As an existing leading player in the infrastructure development, your Company will have direct advantage in the changed scenario. The order book, turnover and profitability of your Company is likely to improve in near and medium future.

DIVIDEND

Directors are pleased to recommend a final dividend of Rs.5/- per equity share of the face value of Rs.10/- for the period ended 31st March 2011.

The dividend, subject to approval at the AGM on 30th day of September, 2011, will be paid to the shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members with reference to the book closure from 3rd September, 2011 to 6th September, 2011 (inclusive of both dates).

AUDITORS REPORT

Management Observation on Auditors Observations:

Responses of the Directors to the comments of the Auditors in their report on financial Statements are as follows:

(a) Regarding IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture losses not considered, as already clarified in Note No.9(a) of Schedule 18 (Notes to Accounts) the management is of the firm opinion that the excess expenditure is expected to flow back through future cash flows on settlement of the claims by the employer. There is substantial progress in the proceedings in the arbitration and the management is reasonably confident of recovery of these claims. During the year under review in the matter of dispute out of the work of the “Warangal-Khammam- Tallada Road work”, the committee of Arbitrators has awarded a claim of Rs.12.42 Crores in favour of joint venture. In the unlikely situation of not awarding the entire amount of claims, GPL has to provide an amount of Rs.53.78 crores towards its share of 40% in the IJM-Gayatri Joint Venture.

(b) Regarding the Gayatri-ECI Joint Venture losses not provided, the management is of the view that the said losses can be set off from the future profits of the project on full scale commencement. However due to changed strategy of the company and over all improvement of the law and order situation, the progress of the work has improved substantially and the joint venture has posted a profit of Rs. 481.73 Lacs during the year 2009-10 and to that extent the accumulated losses have been recovered. Since now the substantial portion of the project work is started now, the losses incurred in the earlier years can be recovered from these profits. Thus, the initial expenditure / losses are expected to flow back through future profits. Hence, no provision has been considered necessary for the Joint Venture losses.

PARTICULARS OF EMPLOYEES

The details required under section 217(2A) of the Companies Act, 1956 read the Companies (Particulars of Employees) Rules, 1975 are not furnished as there are no employees who are covered under the above section.
