Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. Company History and Annual Growth Details

We began our operations as a civil construction firm, Ashoka Constructions in November 5, 1983 as a
partnership between Ashok M. Katariya, Ramanal B. Parakh, Sushil R. Parakh, Narendra R. Shakadwipi
and Vimlabai R. Shakadwipi. We were reorganized as a company called Ashoka Buildcon Private Limited
in 1993 and engaged in the business of civil construction. In fiscal 1997, we entered into the business of
developing toll roads and toll bridges on a BOT basis.We became a public company on April 22, 2002 and
changed the name of the Company from Ashoka Buildcon Private Limited to Ashoka Buildcon Limited
with effect from April 22, 2002 pursuant to a special resolution of the shareholders passed at an EGM on
April 4, 2002. The fresh certificate of incorporation consequent on change of name was granted by the RoC
to the Company on April 22, 2002.

We build and operate roads and bridges in India on a build, operate and transfer ("BOT") basis. We
believe we currently operate one of the highest number of toll-based BOT projects in India. In addition to
BOT projects, we also (i) engineer and design, procure the raw materials and equipment for and construct
roads, bridges, commercial buildings, industrial buildings and institutional buildings for third parties, (ii)
manufacture and sell ready-mix concrete ("RMC") and bitumen and (iii) collect tolls on roads and bridges
owned and constructed by third parties. Our business is organised into four divisions:

- the BOT division;
- the engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") division;
- the RMC and bitumen division; and
- the toll collection contract division.

Prior to fiscal 1997, we were engaged solely in the engineering and construction of residential, commercial,
industrial and institutional buildings. In fiscal 1997, having acquired EPC skills, we also turned our
attention to bidding for contracts for toll roads and toll bridges on a BOT basis. We were awarded our first
BOT project, the Dhule bypass in Maharashtra, in fiscal 1997 and completed the construction of the road in
the same fiscal year. In fiscal 2000 we began manufacturing RMC solely for use by our EPC division. In
fiscal 2002 we began to manufacture RMC to sell to third parties as well as for use by our EPC division. In
fiscal 2005 we began processing bitumen to a higher grade at our facility in Pune for use in road projects.
Having developed systems and procedures for collecting tolls on our BOT projects, including developing
our own proprietary computerised toll revenue auditing system, we tendered for and were awarded our first
the contract to collect the tolls on a road owned and constructed by a third party.

In August 2006, IDFC PE II acquired 1,019,617 Equity Shares in the Company which made IDFC the
single largest shareholder with 18.18% equity stake in the Company. Currently, IDFC PE II holds
7,137,319 Equity Shares aggregating to 15.62% of our paid-up Equity Shares, which makes it our single
largest shareholder as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
