BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS REVIEW

Your Company is in the business of infrastructure development, construction & real estate (including hospitality). Such businesses are carried on either by the Company directly and/or through its various subsidiaries & associates (including joint ventures) which are collectively referred to as Shristi Group or Shristi. Shristi commenced its operations in 19 and ever since has focused on creating value and timely delivery to all its clients and the people of India.

During the year under review, the total revenue of the Company on standalone basis remained largely the same, i.e., Rs. 10510 lakhs as compared to the previous year figure of Rs. 15060 However, due to reduction in finance charges, Profit Before Tax (PBT) increased by 31, Lei from Rs. 286 lakhs in the previous year to Rs. 374 lakhs in the current year.. Similarly, on con condoled basis, the total revenue of the Company for the current year increased marginally from Rs. 18110 lakhs in the previous year to RS.18616 lakhs in the current year, however profit Before Tax (PBT) increased by 65%, i.e. from Rs.237 lakhs in the previous year to Rs.392 lakhs in the current year on account of decrease in finance costs.,

Further, it is a matter of great satisfaction to report that first phase of ''The Westin Hotel'' which was being developed at Rajarhat-Kolkata, by Shristi Hotel Private Limited, a material subsidiary of the Company, has become operational since September 2017. Thought the project faced regulatory challenges beyond its control, which substantially delayed the project, yet due to persistent efforts of the management, the project ultimately saw the light of the day. The Westin Hotel had a grand opening as it was fully booked for the participants of FIFA -17, World Cup 2017, which was held for the first time in India.

The hospitality business and the other businesses of the Company have good potential as independent businesses. Further the hospitality business represents a distinct line of business having differing financial needs and strategic imperatives from the other businesses of the Company which can be better addressed by separation of the hospitality business and other businesses under two focused entities. Hence, the Company during the Financial Year 2016-17 had approved a scheme of arrangement pursuant to section 230, 232 and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act 2013, for (1) Amalgamation to, Cortina of East Kolkata Infrastructure Development Private Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) with the Company, so that real estate development business of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company can be combined and carried on together with the real estate development business of the Company more effectively and (2) Demerger can be combined and carried on together with the real estate development business of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to Vipani Hotels & Resorts Limited (wholly owned subsidiary of the Company). The Scheme was approved by SEBI, BSE, Shareholders & Creditors of the Company and the matter is listed for further hearing at National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata Bench. Hence, pending such approval, no effect of the same has been provided in the accounts of the Company.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS REVIEW

Your Company is an ISO 9001:2000 certified leading civil and social infrastructure development company. The company is presently engaged in the construction & development of complete integrated townships, power plants, transmission lines, hotels, SEZ etc. The company has joined hands with the Union Government of India and various State Government entities to enhance India's urban infrastructure, including tourism & hospitality, housing, power, water, sewerage, and others on a pan- India basis. Your Company has a joint venture with the Housing and Urban Development Corporation Limited (HUDCO) and a host of agencies of State Governments for the development of various housing as well as social infrastructure projects based on the Public Private Partnership model.

The year under review continued to be challenging for the Company because of volatile input costs, delay in regulatory approvals and continued slowdown in the infrastructure sector. In the back drop of challenging macro economic conditions, your Company since last few years has adopted the cautious strategy of selectively bidding for the projects wherein project receivables do not get locked and provide for a decent IRR without being risky. On standalone basis, the turnover is Rs. 10,738 lacs as against previous year figure of Rs. 12,536 lacs which is less by 17%. Profits before Interest, Depreciation & Tax is Rs. 1,521 lacs as against previous year's figure of Rs. 1,800 lacs and Profit after taxation is Rs. 225 lacs as against previous year's figure of Rs. 241 lacs, which is less by 7%. Inspite of challenging economic environment, Company's strategy regarding judicious bidding, containing costs and optimum resource utilization, have helped in sustaining its profitability.

Your Company is engaged in the infrastructure construction business with focus on EPC and PMC contracts for Power Plants, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and High Rise Buildings. The infrastructure development projects are presently being pursued primarily through its various subsidiaries, associates and joint venture companies. Due to severe slowdown in the infrastructure sector in the last three years, your Company has realigned its business strategy from delivering high growth to one that focuses on tightening operations and generating cash flows. Given the past experience, changed circumstances, future developments, plans in the various business verticals and after considering various options, it was felt that consolidation of the businesses of the Company under one entity would create better synergies for the business operations of the Company, including reduction in managerial, administrative and other common costs. Hence, the Board of your Company has approved a restructuring proposal for merging the development business under Shristi Housing Development Limited alongwith its two more wholly owned subsidiaries namely, Vitthal Hospitality Private Limited and Vivekananda Skyroad Limited, with the Company. The amalgamation will enable the merged entity to offer a comprehensive package of infrastructure products and solutions from one entity. The same will enable the merged entity to compete and bid for new projects more competitively and effectively with the combined credentials, experience and track record of both the Companies. This would also lead to greater cohesiveness in gaining market share and increased brand and customer recognition.

The Financial Statements have been prepared by your Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards specified under the Companies Act 2013 read with Rule 7 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

The global economic recovery has been slow. United States showed tepid signs of improvement but Europe and Japan continued to be under pressure all through the year. In the Euro area, growth in 2014 was weaker than expected on account of low investment, inflation and high economic uncertainty being faced by Greece. Emerging markets, notably China recorded a decline in growth rate and other major constituent countries like Brazil, Russia and South Africa also recorded deceleration in growth rates. The global economic climate continues to be volatile, uncertain and prone to geo-political risks especially with regard to the Chinese slowdown and Eurozone crisis. The World Bank expects the global growth rate for 2015 to be 3.0 percent whereas the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects global economy to grow by 3.5 percent in 2015.

INDIAN SCENARIO

Indian Economy is showing signs of revival. According to Economic Survey, the annual growth rate of the Indian Economy is projected to have increased to 7.4 percent in 2014-15 as compared to 6.9 percent in the previous year. To make GDP data globally more relevant and comparable, the Central Statistical Office has changed the base year on which comparisons are made to 2011-12 from 2004-05 due to which GDP growth rate of FY 14 stands revised to 6.9 percent from 4.7 percent. In FY 16 the growth rate is likely to go up further to anything between 8.1 - 8.5 percent making India, world's fastest growing major emerging economy. The International Monetary Fund also predicts that India's economy will overtake China in terms of its annual growth rate in 2015-16.

INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR OVERVIEW

Infrastructure sector in India has witnessed a severe slowdown over the last three years. The entire infrastructure climate in India is today plagued with structural issues of the past few years. Primarily, it is the legacy of the very large number of stalled projects. Within infrastructure, 80 projects stalled were related to electricity and power. Another 143 hindered infrastructure projects relate to construction and real estate, where the major reason for delays and halt is the lack of environmental clearances. Keeping in mind the present subdued investment climate in India, the government has decided to step up investments in infrastructure on its own so that more funds can be channelized into infrastructure creation. An additional Rs. 70,000 crore has been earmarked for infrastructure. Government is also revisiting the existing PPP policy so that the private sector can become more effective in infrastructure creation. A few steps announced by the Government for infrastructure in the current budget includes setting up of five new ultra mega power projects of 4000 MW each, setting up of a National Investment & Infrastructure Fund with an annual outlay ofRs. 20,000 crore from the Centre, floating of Tax-free infrastructure bonds for mobilising resources for projects in rail, road and irrigation and increased outlays for building rural infrastructure like roads, housing, power supply, hygiene, water supply, cold storages, among others.

OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Government of India has been successful in containing inflation and the low oil prices are unlikely to put any upward pressure on inflation. The RBI has signalled a gradual easing of interest rates which is expected to stimulate investment. But more needs to be done because, Indian Industry, in general, and the infrastructure sector in particular is suffering from high interest costs. The Government is working towards restarting the stalled infrastructure projects and has also initiated a number of measures towards easing the business climate. Basic corporate tax rate is being reduced from 30 per cent to 25 per cent over the next 4 years. The General Anti Avoidance Rules (GAAR) stand deferred by another two years which will address some of the concerns of the foreign investors and concerted efforts are being made to cut red tape. The new guidelines for REITs, the easing of EDI investment norms in the sector, and tax incentives for home buyers all signal the intent of the Government to support growth in the sector. While consumer demand levels across most sectors remain muted, we are confident that the economic cycle is turning, and that demand will pick up significantly in the years ahead. The new Government's thrust on smart cities, housing for all, and urban renewal are all expected to give a boost to urbanization and the growth of the construction and development sector.

Key operational risks faced by the Company include slow order inflows, execution bottlenecks of clients, rising interest costs, delay in payment from customers, longer gestation period for procurement of land, time taken for approvals, inability to sell the project as per plan, inability to complete and deliver projects according to the schedule leading to additional cost of construction and maintenance, erosion of brand value, appointment and retention of quality contractors/ sub contractors and inability to attract and retain talent.

The Company addresses these issues within a well structured framework which identifies the desired controls and assigns ownership to monitor and mitigate the risks. The Company has also invested significant resources in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and transparent customer friendly processes, which are expected to go a long way to address some of these risks. Emphasis continued on continuous improvements in project execution efficiencies which resulted in notable gains. The Company also has a Code of Conduct for all its Employees. The Company's Corporate Governance policies ensure transparency in operations, timely disclosures and adherence to regulatory compliances, leading to enhanced stakeholder value.

The sector is also awaiting the enactment of The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill, 2013. The new law is expected to bring in greater transparency and would be beneficial for the end customers. As it is an evolving piece of legislation, the benefits from this regulation will be realised over a period of time.

The headwinds facing the Indian economy over the past couple of years are abating and beneficial turns in commodity and interest cycles alongwith a favourable policy environment is likely to lead to an improved demand environment and your Company believes that it is well positioned to leverage this trend and continue its focus of creating superior value for all its stakeholders.

INTERNAL FINANCIAL CONTROLS

The Company has in place adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. During the year, such controls were tested and no reportable material weakness was observed. Internal control systems and process level checks and balances are reviewed and updated on a continuous basis.

Your Company has implemented the ERP systems for better internal controls. The top management and Audit Committee of the Board review the findings evolved during checking of system and operation and take steps accordingly.

OPERATIONAL/FINANCIAL REVIEW

Shristi Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (''Shristi'') is one of the leading construction and infrastructure development companies in India with a Pan-India presence. Shristi along with its subsidiary companies is operating in three main verticals, Infrastructure Construction, Infrastructure Development and Infrastructure Consultancy. The progress on various projects is satisfactory but a few projects are going slow due to general slow down in the Economy.

Shristi continues to focus on developing green integrated townships, integrated industrial parks & logistic hubs. Your Company has launched a new Integrated Green Township in Guwahati, the Gateway of the North East, with a built up area in excess of 13.5 million sq. ft. It is spread across 250 acres of sprawling greenery and set against the backdrop of the magnificent Brahmaputra river and the majestic hills. It is going to be the first integrated township with world class living & leisure options in a fully gated community in the North East. Shristi''s one more Retail Mall of approximately 1 lac square feet at Agartala (Tripura) will be fully operational during the current year.

The year under review continued to be challenging for the Company because of increased costs, challenging business environment and sluggish industry volumes. On standalone basis, your Company earned PBT of Rs. 369 lacs against previous year''s figure of Rs. 361 lacs and on consolidated basis your company has earned PBT of Rs. 367 lacs against previous year''s figure of Rs. 250 lacs. Your Company has taken many measures to contain costs and has judiciously allocated its resources to improve its cashflows, which has resulted in better profitability.

The Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by your Company in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Standards notified by the Central Government under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. The Audited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Statements together with Auditors Report thereon forms part of the Annual Report.

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

Shristi won the following accolades during the year:

- Shristinagar Asansol awarded "Integrated Township of the Year" by ABP News

- Sentrum Mall at Asansol awarded "The Best Designed Retail Space" by Credai Bengal & Crisil INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND OUTLOOK Global Outlook

The Global economy seems to be finally stabilizing after five years of global financial crisis. Global activity has broadly strengthened and is expected to improve further in 2014-15, with much of the impetus coming from advanced economies. As per IMF global growth is projected to strengthen from 3 percent in 2013 to 3.6 percent in 2014 and 3.9 percent in 2015. In advanced economies, growth is expected to increase to about 2.5 percent in 2014-15, an improvement of about 1 percentage point compared with 2013. Growth will be strongest in the United States at about 2.75 percent. Growth is projected to be positive but varied in the Euro area : stronger in the core, but weaker in countries with high debt and financial fragmentation, which will both weigh on domestic demand. In emerging market and developing economies, growth is projected to pick up gradually from 4.7 percent in 2013 to about 5 percent in 2014 and 5.25 percent in 2015. Growth will be helped by stronger external demand from advanced economies, but tighter financial conditions will dampen domestic demand growth. In China, growth is projected to remain at about 7.5 percent in 2014 as the authorities seek to rein in credit and advance reforms while ensuring a gradual transition to a more balanced and sustainable growth path.

Indian Scenario

The year 2013-14 was one of the most challenging for the Indian economy, with India''s GDP growing below the psychological 5% level for the second successive year. After 4.5% growth in F.Y. 13, India''s GDP grew by about 4.7% in F.Y. 14.

The increase in policy rates by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in order to contain inflationary pressure has slowed down industrial growth considerably. Reduction in private consumption has also contributed. Manufacturing sector has contracted and domestic investment sentiment remains weak. The construction sector remained flat- growing at a marginally higher 1.7 percent during 2013-14 as compared to 1.1 percent during 2012-13. The real estate sector came under significant pressure during 2013-14 due to this decline in the growth momentum, high interest rate on home loans as well as accompanying fall in consumer sentiment. According to a research report by property consultants Knight Frank India Private Limited in March 2014, the sales volume of 15 listed real estate companies out of the top-25 that they track, declined by 43 percent during the third quarter of 2013-14, and almost halved over the past eight quarters. Besides, delays in approvals and high cost of funds have increased the project execution cost and log jammed construction activity across the Country.

Reversing this, bleak outlook for the infrastructure sector will depend on the pace of progress on several fronts. First, easier monetary conditions and a softer interest rate regime - which will make investment in property more affordable for the end user as well as de-risk balance sheets of the sector and bring down project execution costs. Second, there is a need for a more responsive regulatory framework, faster approval cycles and removing uncertainty resulting from impending legislations. Finally, it is essential to revitalise economic growth so as to restore business and consumer confidence.

However, there is a genuine reason for hope now. There has been a regime change at the Centre. The fact that the new government has come to power with a clear majority augurs well for the country as the elected government, with minimum coalition pressure, will be in a position to undertake long pending actions. The government has expressed its commitment to revive infrastructure growth and is willing to collaborate with state governments to provide a major thrust to infrastructure. The new regime realises the importance of unlocking the domestic growth potential and it has made it adequately clear that infrastructure creation is its priority.

However, whether India will be able to take advantage of this situation depends a lot on the policies and programmes that will be pursued by the new Union Government. Thus, the new government''s actions will essentially determine how the economy performs in F.Y. 15 and in the coming years. For India to emerge as a favoured investment destination, the steps taken to drive infrastructure creation will be crucial. World Bank has projected India''s GDP growth to be 6% in 2014-15. Asian Development Bank (ADB) has come up with a more conservative estimate and expects India''s GDP to grow at 5.5% in F.Y. 15. OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS & BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Infrastructure development has been identified as the key driver of long term economic growth in India over the years. India''s Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17) envisages investments worth USD 1 trillion for infrastructure. If even, three fourth of this planned investment is actually realized, it can propel India''s economic growth back to a higher trajectory and with it, significantly improve the fortunes of the infrastructure construction and development sector.

Key operational risks faced by the Company include longer gestation period for procurement of land, time taken for approvals, inability to sell the project as per plan, inability to complete and deliver projects according to the schedule leading to additional cost of construction and maintenance, erosion of brand value, appointment and retention of quality contractors/ sub contractors, inability to attract and retain talent, poor customer satisfaction, fraud and unethical practices, failure to comply with laws and regulations leading to fines, penalties and lengthy litigations.

The Company addresses these issues within a well structured framework which identifies the desired controls and assigns ownership to monitor and mitigate the risks. The Company has also invested significant resources in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution and transparent customer friendly processes, which are expected to go a long way to address some of these risks.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND OUTLOOK

Global Outlook

Global economic activity remains passive amidst signs of diverging growth paths across major economies. In the United States, a slow recovery is taking hold, driven by improvements in the housing sector and employment opportunities. However, the pace of recovery remains weak which will slowly gain pace in the months ahead.

In the Euro area, economy remains mired in recession, characterized by decline in industrial production, weak exports and low domestic demand. This makes the global environment in the coming years more uncertain and exporters might find it more challenging. A clear industrial policy with special emphasis on manufacturing competitiveness and infrastructure spending will be the key requirement of revival of demand in markets like UK.

The Emerging Market & Developing Economies, as a group saw a market decline in growth rates, from 6.4% in 2011 to 5.1% in 2012, with the major constituents viz. China, India, Brazil, Russia all recording significant deceleration.

According to the forecasts of the International Monetary Fund, the World GDP is expected to grow by 3.3% in 2013 with advanced economies growing by 1.2% and the emerging and developing economies growing by a much faster rate of 5.3%; while the Euro area continues to contract mildly by 0.3%.

Indian Scenario

India witnessed an economic slowdown with GDP growth of 5% in Financial Year 2012-13 - a 10 year low. The key issues for this downturn include the cumulative effect of high inflation levels in the economy which led to RBI adopting a tight monetary policy, lack of political consensus on policy reforms, a marked slowdown in the rate of capital formation and weak investor sentiments under the backdrop of a sluggish global economy as discussed earlier.

Better quality of physical infrastructure is a prerogative for the Indian economy to continue at the high rates established over the last decade. But infrastructure development in the last two years has been slow due to numerous challenges being faced by the sector. Some of the challenges are complex but cohesive solutions oriented approach by all concerned stakeholders can go a long way in helping the sector realize its immense potential.

The current state of the economy makes it necessary for the Government to put in place a robust and implementable plan of action for its revival. The economy has experienced a consistent fall in the quarterly GDP growth since 2011, alarmingly high levels of twin deficits viz. Current Account Deficit (CAD) and Fiscal Deficit as well as worrying volatility in the inflow of foreign investments. Though inflationary pressure has receded in the last quarter of 2012 but other worrying economic indicators has put the Indian economy in a challenging pathway on the short term. Further, sharp decline of Rupee against the US dollar is a major cause of concern as it can undermine the recent gains in inflation and also depress badly the much needed capital inflows. The Government has announced several regulatory reforms and policy measures including the setting up of Cabinet Committee on Investments to ensure expeditious clearance and implementation of big ticket infrastructure projects and it is expected that same would yield results.

As per RBI estimates, the Indian economy is expected to grow by 5.7% during 2013-14 representing only a modest improvement over the previous year.

Opportunities, Threats & Business Outlook

The demand of Infrastructure is greater than ever before, the Government of India has set an ambitious target for doubling investment in infrastructure from Rs. 20.5 trillion to Rs. 40.9 trillion during the Twelfth Plan (2012-17). The total investment in infrastructure is proposed to be increased to 10.5% of GDP by the end of the plan period. If even, three fourth of this planned investment is actually realized, it can propel India''s economic growth back to a higher trajectory and with it, significantly improve the fortunes of the infrastructure construction and development sector.

While the management is confident of exploiting the opportunities, there are also challenges to be met in terms of economic environment, regulatory hurdles, escalating construction costs, sluggish demand for commercial space and non availability of skilled manpower at all levels. But your Company is confident of managing associated risk and difficult market conditions through well defined business processes, risk management tools and a dedicated & experienced senior management team across all segments.

During 2013-14, economic activity is expected to show a modest improvement over last year, with a pick-up likely only in the second half of the year.

The outlook remains subdued, with the pipeline of new investment drying up and existing projects stalled by bottlenecks and implementations gaps, increased cost of funds, difficulty in land acquisition etc. With the global growth unlikely to improve significantly from 2012, growth in services, exports, infrastructure development may remain sluggish for quite some time. It is critical to consolidate and build upon the recent gains in controlling inflation. Sustained revival of growth is not possible without a revival of investment. But investment sentiment remains inhibited owing to subdued business confidence and dented business profitability. However, the slowdown in the Indian economy has not altered the belief in the long term potentialof the economy. Domestic Consumption remains one of the key growth engines of the Indian economy. With the large and growing population, significant additions to the working age population over the medium to long term, rising disposable incomes including in rural areas and the Government''s increasing spends on the social sector to foster inclusive growth - the structural drivers for rapid growth in consumption are in place.

Shristi is in a phase of consolidation and is focused on optimizing its strategy and operations to overcome the present economic and financial challenges to emerge as an even stronger entity that can best leverage opportunities once the external environment regains its growth oriented trajectory.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND OUTLOOK

Global Outlook

Performance of major advanced economies has been a point of concern as the economic outlook of the Euro area continues to be grim in the shadow of a protracted sovereign debt crisis. Japan is still trying to cope up with the economic impact of natural calamities which is having an impact on its export partners. Despite some modest signs of improvement in the US, the European debt problem has unquestionably remained as a dominant global factor and a source of volatility in asset and currency markets all over the world. By contrast, emerging market economies have generally shown reasonable robustness - mainly on account of their domestic drivers and increasing linkages with each other. Nevertheless, a slowdown in advanced economies is a point of concern as it impacts the investment and the exchange rate channel of the domestic economy. The Greek crisis and the instability regarding its position in the Eurozone have poised more confusion and insecurity to the world economy. The surge in prices of commodities and oil has led to high levels of inflation which has hit normal life especially in emerging economies like India.

Indian Scenario

The Indian macroeconomic environment has looked turbulent during the past year. After a promising start to the decade in 2010-11, with achievements like maintaining GDP growth rate around 8%, bringing down fiscal deficit to 4.8% of GDP as well as containing current account deficit to 2.6%, the fiscal year 2011-12 has been challenging for the Indian Economy. The year started on a note of optimism through impressive growth in exports and high levels of foreign exchange inflows, only to moderate as the year progressed through continued monetary tightening in response to the untamed inflationary pressures. Gradually, high levels of inflation gave way to a slow-down in the growth. Due to weakening industrial growth, Indian economy grew approximately by 6.9% in 2011-12 as compared to 8.4% in 2010-11, this indicates a slowdown and is worrying.

In response to the untamed inflationary levels for long time, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been tightening monetary policy for last two years with thirteen increases in the policy rate viz., repo rate which is raised from 5% in March 2010 to 8.5% in October 2011. Repo rate has been maintained at the same level since then albeit with a slight reduction of 50 basis points in April 2012.

Though inflation has moderated recently, high inflation during the current fiscal added to the woes of the common man. Basic food item and fuel prices remained high while high rates raised input prices and borrowing costs, forcing small and medium sized enterprises to cut margins and incur losses.

In light of a perceivably weak macroeconomic environment, a well-planned economic revival policy from the Government's part is required to get back the Indian Economy on the path to stable and prosperous growth.

Business Outlook & Future Plans

The key to sustaining India's growth rate, during challenging times, lies in developing India's Infrastructure. The Government has planned an outlay of USD 1 Trillion during the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012 - 17) and 50% of this investment is expected from the private sector. Supply side constraints drive up inflation and since development of infrastructure addresses supply side constraints which helps in arresting inflation and also results in higher growth, the outlook seems encouraging.

There are many key areas of strengths in the sector, notable among which are the increasing number of private players in the infrastructure segment and the governments' supporting investment policies (both Private & FDI).

However, increased cost of funds remains an area of concern and needs to be addressed. Further, for proper implementation of infrastructure projects, regulations have to be put in place which would ensure project viability and would avoid frequent changes in policies. A comprehensive land acquisition policy which takes care of the resettlement, rehabilitation and compensation issues should be laid out so that projects involving acquisition of land do not get mired up in protests and legal tangles. Clear guidelines for environmental clearances, fuel issues etc. needs to be outlined for speedy project implementation. Shortage of skilled and semi-skilled manpower is emerging as a serious issue. This is one area where private sector has to partner the government for expeditious scaling up of human capital.

On many fronts, work is in progress and as the issues are addressed more comprehensively, more investment will flow into India's Infrastructure. With an enhanced emphasis on infrastructure creation, your Company is well positioned to tap the opportunities and expand its business portfolio both on the construction as well as the development side.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Shristi Group is operating in three main verticals, Infrastructure Construction, Infrastructure Development and Infrastructure Consultancy.

1. Infrastructure Construction

In the Infrastructure Construction vertical, since the Company was already executing infrastructure projects in housing, hospitality, roads etc., the Company considered it prudent to diversify into execution of power projects on EPC basis, as in order to sustain 8 percent plus GDP growth rate, the power sector has to grow at 1.8 to 2 times the GDP rate. This means an addition of 15,000-20,000 MW capacity every year. The Central Electricity Authority expects a capacity addition of 75,000 MW to 1,00,000 MW during the Twelfth Plan (2012-17) and majority of the addition would be from coal based plants. To capitalize on this great opportunity, in the previous year, your Company had started Power Division for executing power projects on EPC basis by drawing on its own strength and also by requisitioning the services of senior persons, supplemented with decades of experience in development, engineering, project management, construction, operation and maintenance of power plants of various capacities from renowned organizations. The Company is about to commission the first power plant, a 12MW project which it took on EPC basis at Dishergarh and is building a 220/33 KV sub station along with 50kms transmission line at J.K.Nagar, Raniganj. The Company is also working for a 450 MW (3 X 150 MW) power project at Haldia.

India's installed transmission capacity is only 13% of the total installed generation capacity. With the focus on increasing generation capacity over the next 8 -10 years, the corresponding investments in the transmission sector are expected to increase. Your company is gearing up to utilize the opportunities available in the associated transmission and sub stations sector in a big way.

2. Infrastructure Development

In the Infrastructure Development business, Shristi has pioneered the development of urban infrastructure in Tier 11/ III cities of Eastern India by innovating infrastructure projects which were first's of its kind and which improved the socio- economic landscape of the region. Some of the transformational projects are :

- First City Centre in West Bengal outside Kolkata : Durgapur City Centre

- First Integrated Township in West Bengal: Shristinagar - The New Asansol

- First International Sports Township in India : The Arena - Haldia International Sports City

- First Logistics Hub in West Bengal : Raniganj Square - The Highway Hub

- First Integrated Industrial Park in North Bengal: Kanchan Janga Integrated Park

- First State-of-the-Art Commercial Complex in Tripura: Aitorma Agartala Sentrum

Through these projects, the company had addressed the critical infrastructure needs and contributed to the improvement in the quality of life of people in the region. In doing so, Shristi has been giving adequate attention towards protecting the environment and natural habitat, traffic circulation, facilities for sports and games, IT and professional services, training facilities, as well as, drainage, sewerage, power supply etc.

Your Company has also signed up a new project for an Integrated Green Township in Guwahati, the Gateway of the North East, with a built up area in excess of 13.5 million sq. ft. It is spread across 250 acres of sprawling greenery and set against the backdrop of the magnificent Brahmaputra river and the majestic hills. It is going to be the first integrated township with world class living & leisure options in a fully gated community in the North East.

Shristi's relentless pursuit for excellence and quality is expected to catapult the organization into the leading infrastructure development companies.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS, OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS AND OUTLOOK

Global Outlook

The global economy is recovering steadily from the low of 2008. After the global financial crisis, a new world order has emerged, wherein, the emerging nations are acting as drivers of global growth and whereas most of the developed nations are still recovering slowly. This is evident from the fact that much of the new growth impetus came from developing and emerging economies that witnessed 7.1% growth in 2010 compared to 2.6% in 2009.

But economic instability in some countries of Europe and growing unrest in Middle East and North African region has affected Asian trade and market sentiments. The surge in prices of commodities and oil have led to high levels of inflation which has hit normal life especially in emerging economies like India.

Indian Scenario

The financial year 2010-11 saw growth and development in the Indian economy, it registered a healthy growth of 8.5% in FY 11 compared to 8% in 2010. Economic growth and infrastructure development share a reciprocal relationship, while positive growth sentiments drive higher infrastructure investments, such investments and provision of adequate infrastructure support is also essential to sustain over 8% growth over a period of time. Government envisages investment of USD 1 trillion during the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17). Thus infrastructure industry in India is poised for significant growth and your company is all set to ride this wave and reap the benefits.

The Indian Economic growth was coupled with inflation and to curb inflation, Government resorted to monetary measures by increasing the interest rate. This led to increase in cost of credit thereby affecting profitability as not all input costs can be passed to the customer.

India continues to remain an attractive investment destination. In FY10, India received USD 37.7 billion as FDI. During April-February FY11, FDI inflows stood at USD 25.9 billion. During the same phase, FII inflows stood at USD 31.3 billion. Meanwhile India's trade deficit widened as FY11 saw exports at USD 245.9 billion and imports at USD 350.7 billion. Exports expanded faster than imports, but a decline in net invisibles translated into a widening of the current account deficit. The current account deficit remains buffered by higher capital inflows, but given typically lesser duration portfolio inflows figure more than the long-term FDI in the capital flow composition, the sustainability of India's current account deficit will be an area of concern.

India's foreign exchange reserves increased as we moved ahead in fiscal 2010-11. In April 2010, India's foreign exchange reserves totaled USD 279.6 billion; by September 2010 this figure had increased to USD 292.9 billion. Recently numbers show that the country's foreign exchange reserves have shot up further crossing the USD 300 billion mark. With this level of reserves, India is amongst the ten largest holders of foreign exchange reserves in the world.

Business Outlook & Future Plans

The development of physical infrastructure in the country and, consequently the construction sector has been in focus during the last decade. It is well established that the influence of the construction industry spans across several sub-sectors of the economy as well as the infrastructure development, such as industrial and mining infrastructure, highways, roads, ports, railways, airports, power systems, irrigation and agriculture systems, telecommunication systems, hospitals, schools, townships, offices, houses and other buildings; urban infrastructure, including water supply, sewerage, and drainage, and rural infrastructure. Thus, it becomes the basic input for socio-economic development.

For proper implementation of infrastructure projects, regulations have to be put in place which would ensure project viability and would avoid frequent changes in policies. A comprehensive land acquisition policy which takes care of the resettlement, rehabilitation and compensation issues should be laid out so that projects involving acquisition of land do not get mired up in protests and legal tangles. Clear guidelines for environmental clearances also need to be outlined for speedy project implementation. Shortage of skilled and semi-skilled manpower is emerging as a serious issue. This is one area where private sector has to partner the government for expeditious scaling up of human capital.

On financing front, a vibrant corporate debt market needs to be developed as much reliance is on commercial banks for infrastructure loans. Since infrastructure projects usually have long gestation periods of 10-15 years and bank deposits typically have tenures of three years or less, this creates asset-liability mismatch problem for commercial banks. Further long-term resources at fixed interest rates are scarce. Floating rates loan with short reset periods can escalate project cost through higher interest burden, especially in a rising rate regime. Government has taken initiatives to address the various bottlenecks towards infrastructure creation like The Viability Gap Funding (VGF), formation of India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL), introduction of tax saving infrastructure bonds and enhancement of investment limits of FIIs in corporate bonds of infrastructure category.

On many fronts, work is in progress and as the issues are addressed more comprehensively, more investment will flow into India's Infrastructure. With an enhanced emphasis on infrastructure creation, your Company is well positioned and well capitalized to tap the opportunities and expand its business portfolio both on the construction and development side.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Shristi Group is operating in three main verticals, Infrastructure Construction, Infrastructure Development and Infrastructure Consultancy.

In the Infrastructure Construction vertical, since the Company was already executing infrastructure projects in housing, hospitality, roads etc., the Company considered it prudent to diversify into execution of power projects on EPC basis as in order to sustain 8 percent plus GDP growth rate, the power sector has to grow at 1.8 to 2 times the GDP rate. This means an addition of 15,000-20,000 MW capacity every year. The Central Electricity Authority expects a capacity addition of 75,000 MW to 1,00,000 MW during the Twelfth Plan (2012-17) and majority of the addition would be from coal based plants. To capitalize on this great opportunity, your Company has started Power Division for executing power projects on EPC basis by drawing on its own strength and also by requisitioning the services of renowned persons, supplemented with decades of experience in development, engineering, project management, construction, operation and maintenance of power plants of various capacities from organizations like BHEL, NTPC, DVC, Reliance, Adani, Tata Power, Jindal Power, Alstom, Hindalco, Lanco etc. The Company, inter-alia, is presently executing a 12 MW project on EPC basis at Dishergarh and building a 220/33 KV sub station along with 50kms transmission line. The Company is also being appointed as a PMC consultant for the 3 X 150 MW power project at Haldia. Besides these, with its Power Division fully geared up to execute thermal power plants of various ratings on EPC basis within competitive prices and time bound schedules, it is also expected to win orders for other Power projects and associated transmission and sub stations shortly.

During the year under review, your Company handed over the dwelling units comprising over 10 lacs square feet area with complete external services, roads, drainage, sewerage, transformers etc. spread over 30 acres of land in Bareilly and 35 acres of land in Bhopal to Ministry of Defence.

India, due to its size, requires an efficient road network both for national integration as well as for socio- economic development. The Government plans to construct 35,000 km of highways by 2014 under the National Highways Development Programmes (NHDP) with an investment of USD 60 billion. Since it provides an excellent opportunity to all the infrastructure construction companies, your company would also be consolidating its Road division in the lines of Power division so that it is able to capitalize on the opportunity.

Similarly, in the building division your company is augmenting its capacity for building steel & glass high rises as the future holds a lot of promise for these structures.

In the Infrastructure Development business, Shristi's singular objective has been to create value for its investors by developing large infrastructure projects which have socio-economic implications by creating affordable housing in Tier II/ III cities of India. Through these projects, the company had addressed the critical infrastructure needs and contributed to the improvement in the quality of life of people in the region. In doing so, Shristi has been giving adequate attention towards protecting the environment and natural habitat, traffic circulation, facilities for sports and games, IT and professional services, training facilities, as well as, drainage, sewerage, power supply etc. The demand, affordability, cost effectiveness, viability and environmental concerns are the primary criterion, based on which Shristi aims at propelling the development process for the region.

Shristi is focusing on building both affordable housing and high end residencies. An example of the same is, the Shristinagar township at Asansol, an Integrated Green Township catering to all the income groups. Shristi's relentless pursuit for excellence and quality is expected to catapult the organization into the leading infrastructure development companies.

In the Infrastructure Consultancy vertical, Shristi provides consultancy services in the field of construction & real estate. Its expertise lies in architectural space and it outsources part of the work to external agencies to provide full- fledged service to its clients. Shristi draws upon HUDCO's (its JV partner) immense technical knowledge related to Housing & Urban Infrastructure, City Planning, Neighbourhood Planning, Tourism Development, Landscaping, Development of Heritage, Redevelopment of Walled Cities & other Environmental Projects, for providing consultancy to its clientele.
