FOCUS
The Middle East’s major projects market is gaining momentum with the region’s 100 biggest schemes
currently under construction accounting for more than $304bn of capital spending.
Activity in 2013 and beyond is set to increase with the top 50 projects planned or under way across
the region valued at $1.56 trillion, a 42 per cent increase on the previous year.
Government-funded infrastructure and energy projects in the leading oil and gas exporting states are
driving growth.
Transport schemes are the biggest single segment in the top 100 projects currently under
construction.
Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE are the three most active markets.
Huge investment is under way to improve Saudi Arabia’s transport infrastructure. These include the
Mecca-Medina railway, Riyadh metro, Medina monorail and the Saudi Landbridge, to link the Red Sea
coast to the Gulf.
Plans are also progressing to redevelop airports at Jeddah and Medina to handle growing numbers of
pilgrims visiting Mecca. The government also intends to invest $670m to develop smaller airports
around the country for internal travel.
New ports are planned for Jeddah and for the King Abdullah Economic City at Rabigh.
The announcement of several new or relaunched real estate projects in Dubai suggests that the
emirate’s construction market is poised to rebound.

UPDATE
P. E.P.C.
PROJECT EXPORTS PROMOTION COUNCIL OF INDIA (PEPC)
India is a country with large and diverse infrastructure sector. The Government of India recognized the
imperative need for the infrastructure sector and takes several initiatives like Committee of
Infrastructure, National Highway Development Project (NHDP), National Maritime Development
Programme (NMDP), Tax Holidays etc for the development and promotion of the sector. In the recent
years, there has been several improvements in sectors like roads & highways, ports, railways and
airports, the policy and regulatory framework is already in place and investment in infrastructure has
risen considerably however there are still significant gaps that need to be bridged.
With a view to create a platform for all the stakeholders and for the conclusive growth & development of
the Infrastructure sector, PEPC works with the Central and Foreign
Governments, National &
International development organizations like World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc, Government
Agencies, and various other stakeholders to promote the Project exports.
PEPC discusses policy, regulatory and procedural issues with its members, industry experts etc. and
advice appropriate reforms to the government for the development of the project exports. For making
conducive business environment PEPC highlights encumbrances being faced by the industry players in the
process of development of the sector and interacts with various national / international agencies for
making feasible measures to overcome those encumbrances.
PEPC supports the Government in its efforts towards projecting the project exports. It act as a reference
point for investors (Domestic & International) interested in the sector and provide information related to
government guidelines, investment opportunities, government & development agencies (which are
involved in the development process of the sector).
For promotion of the sector PEPC works proactively and suggests necessary procedures during the
process of policy formation, budgetary allocation, forming legal framework etc. by the government. To
maintain smooth progress PEPC also insist government to make essential provision for timely upgradation
of the policies on the basis of regular feedback from its members and industry players.
PEPC organizes several investment promotion programmes, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc on
regular basis for facilitating interaction between various government agencies, international bodies,
industry players and its members that provide prospects to raises issues pertaining to the sector and
exchange ideas. These networking events provide a platform to share thoughts, explore business
opportunities among the varied stakeholders of the project sector. These measures help to analyse the
present developments and identifies the ways to overcome the constraint of the sector.
PROJECT EXPORTS
Project Exports from India commenced with a modest beginning in the late 1970s. Since then, project
exports have evolved over the years, with Indian companies demonstrating capabilities and expertise
spanning a wide range of sectors. The nature of Project Exports being undertaken reflects the
technological maturity and industrial capabilities in the country. Project exports are broadly divided into
four categories:




Civil construction
Turnkey modules
Consultancy services
Supplies, primarily of capital goods and industrial manufactures
Each of the above are explained here:
3
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Civil construction projects
Construction projects involve civil works, steel structural work, erection of utility equipment and include
projects for building dams, bridges, airports, railway lines, roads and bridges, apartments, office
complexes, hospitals, hotels, and desalination plants.
Turnkey projects
Turnkey projects involve supply of equipment along with related services and cover activities from the
conception stage to the commissioning of a project. Typical examples of turnkey projects are: supply,
erection and commissioning of boilers, power plants, transmission lines, sub-stations, plants for
manufacture of cement, sugar, textiles and chemicals.
Consultancy services
Services contracts, involving provision of know-how, skills, personnel and training are categorised as
consultancy projects. Typical examples of services contracts are: project implementation services,
management contracts for industrial plants, hospitals, hotels, oil exploration, charter hire of rigs and
locomotives, supervision of erection of plants, CAD/ CAM solutions in software exports, finance and
accounting systems.
Supply contracts
Supply contracts involve primarily export of capital goods and industrial manufactures. Typical examples
of supply contracts are: supply of stainless steel slabs and ferro-chrome manufacturing equipments,
diesel generators, pumps and compressors.
Project export contracts are generally of high value and exporters undertaking them are required to offer
competitive credit terms to be able to secure orders from foreign buyers in the face of stiff international
competition. Exim Bank plays a pivotal role in promoting and financing Indian companies in the execution
of projects. It has been closely associated with the growth of project exports from India by way of
providing finance, information and business advisory services. The bank supports Indian companies at all
stages of the project cycle from advance tender information, guidance in preparation of competitive bids
to providing financial facilities, including loans and guarantees. It extends funded and non-funded
facilities for overseas industrial turnkey projects, civil construction contracts, as well as technical and
consultancy service contracts. Exim Bank has in place a specialised cell to provide advance information to
Indian companies on projects being funded by multilateral funding agencies in various countries. Over
the past two decades, increasing number of projects have been executed by Indian companies in North
Africa, West Asia, South & South East Asia, CIS and Latin America.
The Reserve Bank of India has simplified the procedures for project and service exports, such as
deployment of temporary cash surpluses and inter-project transfer of machinery and funds. These
measures, first announced in the Mid-Term Review of Annual Policy Statement for 2006-07, will provide
more flexibility to exporters. The RBI said that the measures were subject to monitoring by banks.
Exporters will now be allowed to use the machinery or equipment used for a turnkey or construction
abroad, for executing a contract in another country. Currently, exporters are required to dispose of the
equipment, machinery, vehicles purchased abroad or arrange their import into India after completion of
the contracts. If it has to be used for another overseas project, the market value should be recovered
from the second project. Under the modified procedures, the RBI has permitted exporters to deploy their
temporary cash surpluses, generated outside India, in instruments such as deposits with overseas
branches or subsidiaries of a bank in India, a triple `A' rate short term paper abroad, including treasury
bills and other monetary instruments with a maturity or remaining maturity of one year or less. Now,
exporters are required to approach the RBI for overseas deployment of their temporary cash surpluses.
The apex bank has also permitted exporters to open, maintain and operate one or more foreign currency
account in a currency of their choice with inter-project transferability of funds in any currency or country.

Iraq is the world’s third-largest oil exporter. It has the available natural, human and financial resources
to fulfil ambitions to hugely increase oil production. The obstacles however are significant: political,
logistical, legal, regulatory, financial, lack of security and sufficient skilled labour. For example according
to the IEA in 2011, grid electricity could meet only 55% of demand.
There are contracts in place already but will Iraq’s energy ambitions be realised?
Iraq Energy Projects will bring forth the challenges, risks and investment opportunities throughout the
complete integrated energy and utilities supply chain, with 7 dedicated streams on: Upstream,
Midstream, Downstream, Power, Water, Finance & Risk, Investor and Contractor Challenges.

located on the Adriatic cost in central Dalmatia, 80 kilometres to the north of Split - the second largest
city in Croatia. The City has access to excellent transport connections to Zagreb (north) and SplitDubrovnik (south). In the last two decades the City has developed into a major tourist destination in
Croatia after being predominantly an industrial centre as one of the largest ports on the Croatian coast by
the 1990’s. The mayor and the City representatives are fully aware of the fact that significant
infrastructure investments are necessary for the sustainable long-term development of the City as a
tourist destination.
Municipalities and utility companies across Croatia are increasingly taking over the responsibility for
investments in water and wastewater infrastructure as a result of the on-going decentralisation of public
finances. The City has recently approached the EBRD with a request to assist in financing the priority
investments to extend and improve the sewage network in the east and south-east parts of Sibenik.
70
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Vodovod i Odvodnja (the “Company”) in Sibenik was established in 1995 as a municipal company for
water supply and wastewater treatment services in the Sibenik area. The Company is majority owned by
the City (63 per cent), and 7 surrounding municipalities hold the remaining 37 per cent. The
management of the Company is commercially oriented with strong emphasise on technical expertise. At
the end of June 2010 the Company had 224 employees.
The Company manages the water supply and wastewater system in an area of 1,500 square km (8
municipalities). The Company manages 1,200 kilometres of water supply system and 60 kilometres of
sewage network. The sewerage upgrade and extension presents major investment challenges in the
coming years. The water supply coverage in the County is 90 per cent, at the same time the sewage
network covers approximately 20 per cent of the service area. In order to reach full water and
wastewater network coverage of the County, major investments are required. Therefore a strong
emphasis has been put on significant capital investments in the wastewater infrastructure in the coming
years. The existing wastewater system managed by the Company includes a wastewater treatment plant
(“WWTP”) with a wastewater network of 60 km in the centre of Sibenik and a long discharge pipe in the
open sea.
The WWTP with primary treatment and a capacity of 100,000 population equivalent (“PE”) is located in
the south-east part of Sibenik (3 km from the centre). Currently, only the central part of Sibenik and the
tourist resort of Solaris accounting for 35,000 PE are connected to the main sewage collector and WWTP.
The new investment programme envisages an extension of the sewage network with an additional 25 km
and 39,000 PE of wastewater which will be connected to the main collector for treatment before being
discharged into the sea. The current capacity of the WWTP of 100,000 PE is sufficient even after the full
implementation of the investment programme, while treatment improvements in order to reach the EU
standards are expected in a longer term period.
Overall, the Assignment aims to: (i) Extend the wastewater collection network to residential and tourist
areas and to reduce the discharge of untreated sewerage to the Adriatic sea; (ii) Improve the financial
and operational performance of the Company and its environmental and social management systems and
practices; and (iii) Create a contractual relationship between the City and the Company. This contractual
relationship will encourage continued operating and financial improvements and efficiencies.
The overall objective of this Assignment is to facilitate the timely and effective implementation of the
Assignment by: (i) Advising the Company in all the aspects related to the implementation of the
Assignment, the procurement activities, contract administration and disbursement; (ii) Assisting the PIU
in the finalization and preparation of the technical requirements, based on the due diligence needs
assessment, provide draft tender documents including draft contracts; (iii) Assisting the PIU in
conducting the procurement process, in a timely and efficient manner, including the tender evaluations,
the report drafting and contract preparation; (iv) Providing timely recommendations and reporting to the
Company in the contract administration process; (v) Assist with the administration of the contracts and
advising the PIU with respect to all aspects which, in the Consultant’s professional judgment, aim at the
Assignment’s successful implementation, and prevent any action that might constitute a violation of the
contract conditions; and (vi) If requested, assisting the PIU to provide the Bank with data, advice and

Tav/Al-Arrab team selected for Riyadh airport Terminal 5
22 January 2013 | By Colin Foreman
Riyadh airport construction contract is valued at SR1,5bn
Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Civil Aviation (Gaca) has selected the joint venture of Turkey’s TAV
and the local Al-Arrab Contracting Company for the estimated SR1.5bn ($400m) contract to build the
new Terminal 5 building at King Khalid International airport in Riyadh.
Terminal 5 is part of Gaca’s significant expansion programme for King Khalid International, which will
increase the airport’s annual capacity to about 24 million passengers from the current 14 million.
Gaca received bids from contractors for the package in November last year. MEED reported at the time
that the TAV/Al-Arrab joint venture was the low bidder.
At the start of this year, four groups were shortlisted for the deal. The other shortlisted firms were the
local Al-Bawani with France’s Vinci Construction, the local Al-Mabani General Contracting Company with
Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) and the UAE’s Drake & Scull International, and
Cyprus-based Joannou & Paraskevaides.
In July last year, the local Al-Mabani General Contractors was awarded an estimated SR219.5m ($58.5m)
contract to build a new apron at the Riyadh airport. The work will involve the construction of an apron at
Terminal 3 and the currently unused Terminal 4.
King Khalid International airport is located about 35 kilometres north of the capital.
The contract will be the latest major airport construction deal secured by TAV in the region during the
past two years. Last year, it led joint ventures that won contracts to build the Midfield Terminal Building
at Abu Dhabi International airport together with the contract to build a major maintenance hangar at
Jeddah airport. Before that in late 2011, it won the contract to develop the new Medina Airport as a
public-private partnership (PPP) deal.
Aktor wins Doha sports hall contract
21 January 2013, 6:10 GMT | By Colin Foreman
Arena will be built at Al-Sadd Sports Club
The Qatar Olympic Committee has awarded Greece’s Aktor the main construction package for the Al-Sadd
Sports Club multi-purpose hall in Doha.
The Al-Sadd Sports Club is located close to the Al-Waab intersection in Doha. The multi-purpose sports
hall has been designed for basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton and gymnastics, with a total
seating capacity of 7,500. The hall will have a total built-up area of 52,200 square metres and will consist
of five levels and basement car parking.
75
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Qatar has also tendered a sports hall at Al-Thumama to the north of Doha. The hall, which will be built at
the future Olympic park at Lusail, on vacant land in close proximity of the road that connects Doha’s
West Bay with Al-Khor, close to the Qatar Shooting Association and Lusail Racing Circuit.
The project involves building a 19,132-seater multi-purpose hall with 16,432 fixed and 2,700 retractable
seats for basketball, volleyball and handball games. It will have a basement and five above ground levels,
with a mezzanine between the ground and the first floor. The built-up area is 107,650 sq m.
SEC awards five construction contracts in eastern Saudi Arabia
20 January 2013, 10:27 GMT | By Andrew Roscoe
Work will mainly involve installation of overhead transmission lines across eastern Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has awarded five construction contracts worth a total of SR1.6bn
($427m) for electricity transmission work in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia.
The largest two contracts were awarded to the local Middle East Engineering & Development. The first of
these was a SR521m deal to construct a 380kV overhead line from Al-Lith to Muhayel. The second is the
SR472m contract to construct 380kV and 132kV overhead lines in the same area.
The National Contracting Company was awarded a SR220m deal for 380kV underground cable work in
the eastern region.
SEC awarded a joint venture of the local AL-Touki Contracting and the local Ozdil Company for Power a
SR187.3m contract to provide a 380kV overhead transmission line from Namerah to Bishah. The fifth
award was a SR174m deal won by the local Saudi Services for Electro Mechanical to construct a 380kV
overhead line from the Shoaiba 3 power and desalination plant to Al-Lith.
The awards are the second batch of contracts the kingdom’s main electricity provider has awarded in the
past month. On 24 December, the company awarded two other deals worth a total of SR657m for two
electricity projects in the western region of the kingdom.
For the first project, SEC awarded the local Saudi Services for Electro Mechanic Works a SR398.4m
contract to reinforce a 380kV cable network in the city of Jeddah. For the second scheme, the local
National Contracting Company (NCC) was awarded a SR258.6m deal to build a 380kV overhead
transmission line in the Duba al-Bida area in the western region.

Al-Asab is low bidder on Abu Dhabi gas pipeline
15 January 2013 | By Mark Watts
Local group is frontrunner on contract to build $30m Gasco pipeline
The UAE’s Al-Asab Establishment has submitted the lowest bid on a gas pipeline project linking Abu
Dhabi’s gas production operations, according to sources close to the bidding process.
Project owner Abu Dhabi Gas Industries (Gasco) tendered the estimated $30m engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) contract on the Bu Hasa-Bab-Thamama pipeline in July last year.
After commercial bids were submitted in the fourth quarter of 2012, Al-Asab emerged ahead of the other
bidders, which include UAE-based Alsa Engineering and Target Engineering, and Oman’s Galfar
Engineering & Contracting.
The contract, which covers the construction of a 50-kilometre, 30-inch pipeline and associated facilities,
is expected to be awarded later in the first quarter.
Meanwhile, Al-Asab has been awarded a subcontract on another Gasco project – the Habshan-MaqtaTaweelah pipeline – which is being constructed by UAE-based contractor Dodsal.
Dodsal, which won the project’s $450m EPC contract in July 2012, has hired Al-Asab to carry out the
earthworks, right of way and berming work.
Gasco is a joint venture of state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and three international
oil companies: UK/Dutch Shell Group; France’s Total; and Portugal’s Partex.

Saudi Binladin wins contract to expand Jeddah hospital
13 January 2013, 12:34 GMT | By Andrew Roscoe
Thirteen groups had submitted prices for Jeddah hospital contract in January 2012
The local Saudi Binladin Group has been awarded the estimated SR1.77bn ($470m) contract to expand
the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah.
A total of 13 groups had submitted bids for the hospital expansion scheme on 28 January last year. The
client is the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre.
The main component of the expansion project will involve the construction of two patient towers, 15 and
18 storeys high, and a 24-storey research and academic affairs centre. The new structures will contain 30
operating theatres, 150 intensive care units, a cardiology clinic, neurology clinic, outpatient clinics and
emergency treatment facilities.
The scheme will also involve the construction of a 25,000-square-metre Oncology Centre and a 25,000sq m medical support facilities building. The project will also involve the construction of a car park for
more than 1,000 cars. The expansion scheme was designed by the local Care RTKL and Saudi Diyar
Consultants. Care RTKL is a joint venture of US-based architecture firm RTKL and Healthcare
Development Holding Company (HDH), a division of the local Saudi Binladin Group.
The project manager for the construction programme is US-based Vanir Construction Management. Vanir
has also been appointed to provide construction management services for the estimated $1.2bn King

Acwa preferred bidder for Rabigh power plant
13 January 2013 | By Matthew Martin
Abu Dhabi and Qatari consortium loses out despite being lowest bidder
Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) has named the local Acwa Power as preferred bidder on the Rabigh 2
power project, and the developer is planning to sign the financing for the scheme in March.
A bid by a consortium of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa) and Qatar Electricity and Water
Company (QEWC) had been the lowest of five bids for the 1,700MW scheme, but appears to have been
unable to convince SEC that it could deliver on its bid.
SEC selected Acwa Power on 13 January. Rabigh 2 is expected to cost around $2.5bn to develop, of
which almost $2bn will be debt, mostly from local banks lending in Saudi riyals. Acwa Power’s bid was
fully underwritten by the local Banque Saudi Fransi and National Commercial Bank, and the UK’s
Standard Chartered. The three banks will now start approaching other lenders to join the financing group.
Acwa plans to put in place 26-year financing for the Rabigh 2 plant, thought to be the longest tenor on a
project financing ever in Saudi Arabia, and slightly longer than the 25-year power purchase agreement
(PPA) that SEC plans to sign.
When SEC opened the bids on 22 October, the Taqa/QEWC bid was almost 20 per cent lower than second
ranked bidder Acwa Power, sparking a wave of rumours about how they managed to secure such a low
price and whether the bid was compliant. The Abu Dhabi and Qatari bid was never deemed noncompliant, but sources close to the SEC say it lost patience waiting for the pair to demonstrate they could
deliver the project at the same price as their bid.
78
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
“TAQA and its consortium were confident that they could deliver the project as originally bid. When the
SEC requested a new bid based on a lower capacity power plant at the same tariff, this required a full
redesign of the plant and we viewed the short timeframe for the new bid as unrealistic,” said Taqa in a
statement, adding that it remained committed to the Saudi Market.
Acwa Power is also planning to launch its first sukuk (Islamic bond) later this year.
Arabtec venture wins Dh2.4b Louvre job
Silvia Radan / 9 January 2013
A joint venture between Arabtec Holding Co, Constructora San Jose SA and Oger Abu Dhabi won a Dh2.4
billion contract from Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) to build the first and only
branch of Louvre museum on Saadiyat island.
The construction will start immediately and is set for completion in December 2015.
“The awarding of this contract confirms Abu Dhabi’s commitment in developing iconic museums in the
Saadiyat Cultural District,” said Shaikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, chairman of TDIC.
“When Louvre Abu Dhabi opens its doors, it will mark significant progress in cross-cultural dialogue
through its universal themes and diverse exhibits,” he added.
With a built up area of 64,000 square metres, Louvre Abu Dhabi is designed as a complex of pavilions,
plazas, alleyways and canals, evoking the image of a city floating on the sea. Hovering over the complex
will be a vast, shallow dome inspired by traditional Arabic architecture, some 180 metres in diameter,
perforated with interlaced patterns so that diffused light will filter through.
Arabtec and its partners plan to complete the museum’s concrete frame by the first quarter of 2014.
Work on the geometric lace dome will be done by the end of 2014, with the final stage that includes
marine works and removal of temporary land platforms to be finished in 2015.
“We are extremely proud to have been awarded such a prestigious project and to be contributing to
bringing this landmark museum to life with our joint venture partners,” said Hasan Ismaik, managing
director of Arabtec.
“The Louvre Abu Dhabi is undoubtedly the most anticipated cultural development in the region and truly
reflects the emirate’s ambition to strengthen its position on the global map as a cultural epicentre and
leisure lifestyle destination,” he went on.
Initially, Louvre, along with Guggenheim and Zayed National museums should have been opened or close
to opening by now, but following the 2008 financial collapse many developments have been cancelled or
delayed in the UAE.
According to a Citigroup report last October, $757 billion of projects in the country suffered such fate.
Still, the TDIC announced last year that most of its Saadiyat developments are going ahead and the new
completion dates are 2015 for Louvre, 2016 for Guggenheim and 2017 for Zayed National Museum.
First announced in 2006, Louvre Abu Dhabi already underwent basic construction, the building’s marine,
excavation, piling and substructure works being done in 2009 and 2010 by a previous contractor.
Designed by Pritzker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel, the Louvre Abu Dhabi will encompass 9,200
square metres of art galleries. The 6,000-square-metre Permanent Gallery will house the museum’s
permanent collection taking the visitor through a universal journey from the most ancient to
79
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
contemporary through art works from different civilisations. The Temporary Gallery will be a dedicated
space of 2,000 square metres presenting temporary exhibitions of international standards.
The museum’s art collection is also under “construction”, acquisitions being made for the past couple of
years through the expertise of the Agence France-Muséums and in partnership with the Musée du Louvre.
“The Louvre Abu Dhabi will not be the Louvre in Abu Dhabi; it will be a new museum, carrying a double
culture, and a double tradition. It will combine the French museum requirements with the tradition of
openness of the UAE, offering a new dimension to the universality of the original museum,” stated Henri
Loyrette, director of Louvre.
The permanent collection will display 400 art pieces, some of which may change from time to time, when
travelling on loan to other museum or when in need of restoration. For this purpose, Louvre Abu Dhabi
will have 4,400 square metres of storage space, mainly for art storage and repairs.
Kuwait awards contract for Al-Zour North power project
8 January 2013| By Andrew Roscoe
The GDF Suez-led consortium will build Kuwait’s first independent power and water project
Kuwait’s Partnerships Technical Bureau (PTB) has awarded the consortium of UK/French company GDF
Suez, Japan’s Sumitomo and Kuwait’s AH Sagar & Brothers Group the contract to build the Al-Zour North
independent water and power project (IWPP).
The GDF Suez-led consortium confirmed on 8 January that it had been awarded the contract to build
Kuwait’s first IWPP. The PTB selected the winning consortium as the preferred bidder in February last
year, but the project stalled when Kuwait’s National Assembly voted to scrap the scheme in June.
The successful consortium had submitted the lowest bid to build the project with an annual equivalent
payment (AEP) value – the yearly payment to the developer over the lifetime of the project – of
KD127.1m ($453m).
The winning group will design, finance, build, operate and maintain the plant, which will have a power
capacity of 1,500MW and 102-107 million gallons a day (g/d) of desalinated water. At least 400MW of
power is planned come online no later than 15 February 2014, with at least 600MW by 31 March 2014.
The project is to enter commercial operation by 31 May 2015.
The project will use natural gas as its main feedstock and gas oil as back-up fuel. Gas and gas oil will be
provided by the Electricity & Water Ministry. The desalination plant will use either a 100 per cent thermal
process or a hybrid process. In the case of a hybrid solution, the capacity of the reverse osmosis plant is
not to exceed 25 per cent of the total desalination capacity.
A special-purpose vehicle will be established as a Kuwaiti public joint stock company, with 40 per cent
owned by the successful bidder. The remainder will be held by a combination of Kuwaiti public entities
directly and Kuwaiti nationals.
The Al-Zour North IWPP has long been viewed by those in Kuwait’s projects and finance sectors as a key
project for Kuwait’s ambitious PPP programme. As the PTB’s first project, it is regarded as a catalyst for
the rest of the country’s planned schemes, which require private investment.
Other PTB schemes currently under discussion include the Kuwait Metro and the Umm al-Hayman
wastewater project.
For the metro, the PTB is preparing to issue a request for qualification (RFQ) for the rolling stock and
systems package in the first half of 2013. The rolling stock package is the first to be tendered on the 61-
80
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
kilometre-long first phase of the Kuwait metro, with construction scheduled to begin in early 2014. The
metro network is being built in five phases until 2035 and will be 170km long when completed.
Bahwan wins transmission line contract in Oman
8 January 2013, 5:54 GMT | By Andrew Roscoe
Local contractor will install 400kV and 220kV overhead lines
The local Bahwan Engineering Company has been awarded a RO42.9m ($111.6m) contract by the Oman
Electricity Company to build an overhead transmission line from Izki to Sur in Oman.
The local contractor was awarded the contract towards the end of December and will install 400kV and
220kV overhead lines from Izki, in the Ad Dakhiliyah region, to the Sur independent power project (IPP),
located in the Ash Sharqiyah region of the sultanate.
The project is the latest of several electricity contracts the sultanate has awarded over the past 12
months. In September, the Oman Electricity Company awarded the local Galfar Engineering &
Contracting a RO10.3m contract to build a grid station at Ghala, Oman. The local contractor will also
install 32kV cables in the Muscat governorate as part of the contract.
Saudi Landbridge awards project management contract
6 January 2013 | By Rebecca Spong
US firm beats four other construction companies for Saudi railway deal
The Saudi Railway Company (SAR) has awarded US-based Fluor the project management contract (PMC)
for the planned Saudi Landbridge project that will link Jeddah on the Red Sea coast to the ports of
Dammam and Jubail on the Gulf coast through Riyadh.
The SAR confirmed that it has sent its letter of acceptance to the US-based firm.
The other contractors that submitted bids for the project in May 2012 were US companies Aecom,
Bechtel, KBR and Australian firm WorleyParsons.
The much-anticipated rail project was initially launched in 2005, but has faced several delays related to
financing. Originally, the project was planned as a 50-year build, operate and transfer (BOT) scheme
financed through debt. However, in August 2009, the Saudi government decided to fund the railway on
its own through the state-owned Public Investment Fund (PIF), after it struggled to raise funding from
private banks.
In October 2011, the PIF announced it would take control of the development of the project and
appointed SAR to construct the railway.
The planned railway will cover 950 kilometres of passenger and cargo lines. About 70km of the line will
comprise tunnels, needed to cut through the mountainous regions in the central part of the kingdom.
The railway will be capable of transporting 8 million tonnes of container cargo every year once complete,
with passenger trains capable of travelling at speeds of 250km/h and freight trains running at a
maximum of 140km/h.

30 January 2013 | By Rebecca Spong
Sohar Port wants to attract cargo away from region’s leading ports
Oman’s Sohar Port is readying to announce a string of contracts in 2013 as it looks to compete with ports
such as Dubai’s Jebel Ali.
“Due to its location, Sohar has so much potential to attract cargo from the UAE; from Jebel Ali, for
example, from Fujairah and other ports in the region,” says Edwin Lammers, executive commercial
manager at Sohar Industrial Port Company. “You will also see much of the cargo for Oman that was going
through Jebel Ali shifting back to Oman.”
The port has already announced one major contract in 2013, with Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa
winning a $130m contract to build and operate a new terminal at the port earlier this month.
The new terminal will double the port’s capacity to 1.5 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) from the
existing 800,000-TEU capacity.
Hutchinson is now in the process of looking for a contractor to carry out the civil works for the new
terminal and to commence construction. This process is expected to happen relatively quickly, as postpanamax cranes have already been ordered for the new terminal and are due to be delivered in mid2013.
Hutchison aims to begin some operations at the port by the end of the third quarter this year, or the
beginning of the fourth quarter.
The new terminal will provide additional capacity for the cargo and container traffic being transferred
from Port Sultan Qaboos in Muscat. The Muscat port is being turned into a tourism and maritime heritage
port and the transfer of traffic is due to be completed by the end of this year.
Sohar Port will also be constructing a new liquid jetty at the port in 2013. It invited contractors to
prequalify in January and will be looking to issue tenders for the project in mid-May.
A reclamation scheme that will create new land to be used for industrial purposes will also be launched
this year with the tendering process starting in mid-2013. In addition, the port is looking to build an
agro-bulk terminal dedicated to agro-commodities and food stuffs, with the terminal set to be completed
by mid-2014.
The first phase of the port’s free zone development is set to continue to attract businesses, with
approximately 380 hectares of land are leased or committed. Phase 2 of the freezone development is
expected to start within the next 18 months at least.
These plans to significantly increase capacity mirror plans of other regional ports, potentially raising the
possibility of a port overcapacity issue in the GCC in the coming years.

Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Sohar’s position on the Gulf of Oman, outside of the politically sensitive Strait of Hormuz, will give the
port its competitive edge, according to Lammers.
“I don’t think Sohar Port will suffer from overcapacity issues. There is ample capacity in the region, but
you need to look at the location as well. One might argue you do not need two large terminals just 20km
distance from each other. There might be a need for 40 million TEUs in the region, but not next to each
other,” Lammers says.
Sohar Port is already seeing increased throughput volumes. Its 2012 results show an increase of 51 per
cent in total throughput. Container throughput increased by 83 per cent to 1.9 million TEUs, while cargo,
including dry, break and liquid bulk, increased by 50 per cent, to 41.94 million tonnes.

Abu Dhabi commits $90bn to fund new infrastructure projects over next five years
Abu Dhabi is increasing investment in infrastructure projects, the director-general of Abu Dhabi Council
for Economic Development, Fahad al-Raqbani, told the MEED Middle East Project Finance Conference on
29 January.
Al-Raqbani said the government of Abu Dhabi had earlier this month approved the injection of AED 330bn
($90bn) into the economy over the next five years. The funds will be used to finance the construction of
new homes, schools, roads and other vital infrastructure projects.
Al-Raqbani said Abu Dhabi is simultaneously investing in industrial and service industries. “Collectively,
these projects together with many others will contribute immensely to the diversification of Abu Dhabi’s
economy and place it on a stronger footing to meet the goals of the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030,” he
said.
Oman to build $1.5b medical complex
29 January 2013
DUBAI - Oman plans to build a RO570 million ($1.48 billion) medical complex and will invite bids this
year to manage construction, a ministry of health official said on Monday.
“The project management tender will be floated this year to build the medical city in northern Batnah,”
Ahmed Al Qasmi, director-general for planning at the health ministry, said at a construction seminar in
Muscat. Batnah is a northern coastal region which is the most populated area in Oman after the capital
Muscat.
The government-funded project will cover 5 million square metres and include residential space and
shopping malls as well as hospitals.

Road project nearing three-quarter completion
Staff Reporter / 27 January 2013
Almost 70 per cent of the 23 bridges that comprise the Trade Centre Bridges Project at Zabeel have been
built, with the project due to open by the end of the year.
Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Executive Director Mattar Al Tayer said the Dh719-million project
was 68 per cent of the way through. The bridges, including one 120-metre long concrete bridge, extend
for 4,370 metres in total. They are designed to help link up the Western Parallel Road with the Shaikh
Rashid bin Saeed Road and Street 312, passing by the World Trade Centre.
“The RTA has completed all works linking Al Khail Road with the local roads of the Business Bay in order
to ease the traffic flow in the area, and has also completed the improvement of the internal roads in the
area between the Shaikh Zayed Road and the Western Parallel Road,” Al Tayer said.
The work had already eased the mobility of those living in the towers parallel to the Shaikh Zayed Road,
he said. “These roads have been linked with the Shaikh Zayed Road to serve the traffic movement of
motorists passing through the Shaikh Zayed Road and heading towards the Business Bay.”
Work had already begun to complete the next phase of road work as part of the Parallel Roads Project
between Interchanges 5 and 5.5, including the construction of a 10-kilometre road which extended three
lanes in each direction, Al Tayer said.
“Work is also progressing in Phase IV of the project which serves Jebel Ali Free Zone, Al Maktoum Airport
and the Industrial Area. This phase comprises the construction of roads extending 22km with four lanes
in each direction in the Eastern and Western parallel roads.”
The first phase of the project, which included the construction of roads at Al Barsha and Al Quoz
Industrial and Residential areas, had already been completed, he said.
Five car parks to be built in Abu Dhabi
24 January 2013
The Executive Committee of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council has approved the construction of five multistorey parking facilities in the Capital.
The approval was given at a meeting of the committee held under the chairmanship of Shaikh Sultan bin
Tahnoun Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and member of the Executive
Council, on Wednesday.
The parking buildings will be constructed in densely populated neighbourhoods and areas where there is
heavy vehicular traffic like the Corniche, Khalifa bin Zayed Street, Khalid bin Al Waleed-Al Nasr Road
junction and Hamdan bin Mohammed Street-Al Najda Street junction. The parking facilties will be
dismantable and can be used for multiple purposes.
The committee also approved the setting up a new abattoir in Al Shehama. The project will be completed
in two phases. The new abattoir will be built over an area of 2029 square metres in the first phase, while
the present slaughterhouse will be transformed into shops in the second phase.

Dubai considers Expo metro lines
22 January 2013| By Colin Foreman
Rail connections could also serve existing communities
Dubai is considering plans for new metro lines that will serve the site of Dubai Expo 2020 site next to AlMaktoum International airport.
The emirate’s Roads & Transport Authority has prepared a number of solutions for connecting the expo
site at Dubai Trade Centre-Jebel Ali. The most likely solution is understood to be a spur line that will be
part of the existing Red line and will also create options for stations at existing residential and industrial
areas that are not currently on the metro network.
The proposed line will involve a section of the Red line running from the metro car park at Nakheel
Harbour and Tower station, past Discovery Gardens, the Green Community, and Dubai Investment Park,
before heading out to the expo site next to the new airport.
This option would mean that trains on the Red line will either terminate at their final destination, Jebel
Ali, or the Expo.
Another alignment that is being considered is an extension to the Red line beyond Jebel Ali that will head
inland to the Expo site. This solution would mean longer journey times to the Expo, and would not
provide the opportunity to build new stations for existing centres of population and industry.
This 438-hectare expo site will be developed as a permanent attraction, aimed at boosting Dubai’s
position as a regional and international tourism destination.
Dubai World Trade Centre is managing the project. The masterplan for the site has been prepared by a
team led by US-based architectural firm HOK. Other consultants working on the scheme include USbased Thinkwell, US-based Populous and the UK’s Arup.
The UAE’s bid for the 2020 Expo was submitted in December last year to the Bureau International des
Expositions (BIE), the international organisation responsible for overseeing the bidding, selection and
organisation of World Expos.
Dubai is competing against four other candidate cities bidding to host the 2020 World Expo, including
Ayutthaya in Thailand; Ekaterinburg in Russia; Izmir in Turkey; and Sao Paulo in Brazil. The winning city
will be announced in November 2013.

Dubai Metro on expansion track
Mustafa Al Zarooni / 17 January 2013
Dubai’s rail network is set for a massive expansion with the Red and Green lines extended, new lines
added and with connections to the proposed Etihad Rail network across the Gulf countries.
Land has been procured for widening the existing network and new rail routes and infrastructure are
expected to be completed by 2030 in three phases. They will cover an area of 421km with 197 stations,
said Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of the Roads and Transport Authority
(RTA).
Three new Metro lines — Blue, Gold and Purple — and a Jumeirah tram route will be up and running by
2030. Besides these, the current Red and Green lines will grow longer and will serve a growing population
in the densely populated urban areas of Dubai. “The plans have been endorsed by His Highness Shaikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai,”
said Al Tayer.
He hoped that once these rail routes are completed, 30 per cent of the residents in the emirate would use
public transport.
Time schedules for the proposed lines, or stretches of them, have been set, as well as the estimated
costs for executing the mammoth projects. “The general blueprint of the train network is in three phases
— 2020, 2025 and 2030 — keeping in mind planned urban growth in the Emirate,” said Al Tayer.
RTA planners estimate Dubai’s population to exceed 3.1 million by 2020. In the first phase, train projects
along a 24.1-km long corridor with 12 stations will be completed. The Green Line will cover Jaddaf to
Dubai Academic City with 11 stations, a distance of 20.6km. Once the first phase of the extension work is
complete, Dubai’s train network will have 109km over 70 stations.
Work on the second phase covering 91km and 58 stations will cost an estimated Dh45 billion, said the
RTA chairman.
Dubai’s urban population is likely to swell to 4.1 million by 2025 and work on the Gold, Jumairah tram
and the Purple lines are set to commence then. “When phase two is complete, the overall train network is
likely to be 200km long with 128 stations,” he said.
An assessment of the completed projects will be made in 2030 and depending on the success of the
infrastructure upgrades, passenger response, work on the final phase will begin. “So if Dubai’s
population crosses six million, we may add another 221km of lines with 69 stations. This will extend the
entire network to 421km with 197 stations,” Al Tayer said.
Infrastructure upgrades on the network have been planned keeping in mind the Expo 2020 which the UAE
is bidding to host. “Several alternatives have been studied to link the proposed site for the Expo to the
under-construction Al Maktoum Airport in Jebel Ali. The Red line is expected to serve this stretch,” the
RTA chairman said.

Efforts are also being made to connect the Dubai Metro system with Etihad Rail, which will run for
1,200km in the UAE. The railway will connect the country to Saudi Arabia via Ghweifat in the West and
Oman via Al Ain in the East.
Three proposed stations — Al Maktoum Airport Station, Dubai Land Station and the Central Station — will
serve as hubs for connections to the wider Etihad Rail network.
Al Maktoum Airport Station will be situated east of Al Maktoum Airport on the Etihad Rail route, with the
Blue lines inking up with projects east of the Dubai Bypass Road.
The Dubai Land Station, west of Meydaan, will be on the Gold line. — malzarooni@khaleejtimes.com
Total length of Metro on completion — 421km, 197 stations

Dh330b projects for Abu Dhabi in next five years
Staff Reporter / 14 January 2013
Hundreds of billions of dirhams will be funnelled into a raft of new projects set for Abu Dhabi, including
housing loans, housing construction and thousands of new jobs.
General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme
Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, announced the
Dh330 billion grand plan at a meeting of the Council on Sunday, saying such proposals would turn the
vision of the President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, into reality.
“This vision aims to foster Abu Dhabi progress and development as it should be and strengthen the UAE’s
status as an economic and social example to be emulated by other world countries,” General Shaikh
Mohammed said.
The projects, to be completed between this year and 2017, will largely benefit Emiratis and include Dh3
billion in new housing loans to be shared amongst 1,500 people, 5,000 new jobs to be created during
2013 alone, and housing projects in Al Ain and the Western Region.
The Council said its decision to offer loans follows Shaikh Khalifa’s eagerness to ensure an “honourable,
dignified and stable life for citizens and their families”. It said the loan offer was in keeping with the
decades-old policy adopted by Abu Dhabi to ensure social and economic stability amongst citizens.
The loans will be distributed to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region citizens, with the chosen
recipients yet to be named. There is to be 834 beneficiaries from Abu Dhabi, 618 from Al Ain and 48 from
the Western Region. Over the past three years, 6,416 housing loans — worth Dh13 billion — have been
distributed to Abu Dhabi citizens.
The Council also approved the establishment of housing projects providing 786 housing units and plots of
land in Mezyed, Umm Ghafah and Ne’mah in Al Ain, as well as in Bida Al Mutawa in the Western Region.
Contractors will soon be selected by government departments to undertake the construction.
In another project, the Council has made provision for 5,000 new jobs this year in a bid to help develop
the Capital’s economy and retreat from its dependence on oil and gas revenues. Other initiatives to help
diversify the emirate’s economy include the development of “specialised economic zones” to apply to
specific industries. Each zone will offer financial exemptions to investors, with the Council guaranteeing
the development of advanced transport and communication infrastructure in these zones.
The Council has also directed Abu Dhabi Food Control Authority to help open new channels that
encourage the sale of animal husbandry products in the local market in order to support local breeders
and increase local productivity.
The first stage of a sewerage system upgrade has also been approved by the Council, as it braces itself
for the growing demands of a rapidly increasing population — the rate of which continues to grow.
The project, to serve areas including Al Nahdhah Al Jadeedah, Al Wathba, Bani Yas, Khalifa City (B), Al
Falah, Al Heliyah, Al Mua’zzaz, Al Shawamekh and Al Mafraq, will collect waste water from the existing
12 stations and channel it to a central station, currently being built. The project will include one of the
longest sliding sewerage tunnels in the world.
The Council said the projects should be of the highest standards which would guarantee the achievement
of the Abu Dhabi 2030 vision objectives.
“The noblest objective we work towards is to ensure every citizen’s welfare and stability. As such, most of
our efforts are geared to allow our sons to enjoy the benefits of development and help them contribute,

through their creative potential, to the overall development of the country,” Gen. Shaikh Mohammed
said.

GCC funding to support Oman rail plans
8 January 2013, 10:13 GMT | By Rebecca Spong
New Oman national railway company set up
Billions of dollars of aid pledged by GCC countries to Oman will be partially used to fund the development
of the country’s planned railway network.
In its 2013 budget, the Omani government has identified the long-awaited rail project as one of several
to be funded by GCC aid.
Other projects to be targeted include the Al-Batinah Expressway, and electricity and water works, and
infrastructure at the Duqm Special Economic Zone. These projects were selected for their role in
strengthening the wider GCC economy and supporting the flow of trade in the region.
The GCC countries had pledged to give Oman $1bn every year over the course of the next 10 years to
help improve the country’s infrastructure and economy in the wake of the social unrest witnessed in
2011.
It was also announced that a new national railway company will be established to oversee the
development of the new railway. The government-owned body will be responsible for the tendering,
designing and construction of the rail network.
The Oman rail network has stalled in recent months after the Transport Ministry announced in September
that it was retendering all contracts related to phase 1 of the project. As of the end of last year, tenders
for the project management consultancy (PMC) were expected to be released at the end of the first
quarter of 2013, if not the early part of the second quarter. About 12 companies are said to have been
shortlisted for the PMC contract.
Oman’s 1,061-kilometre railway is part of the proposed GCC-wide railway network that will run from
Kuwait to Muscat and on to Salalah.
The Oman budget also included details of other transportation projects it has pledged to support in 2013.
These include the completion of the Sohar airport project, the upgrading of Port Hasik to receive fast
ferries and adding new berths to Duqm port

Taqa buys stake in India hydro project
Issac John / 14 January 2013
Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, or Taqa, said on Sunday it has acquired a minority interest in
India’s Himachal Sorang Power Limited, which is developing a 100 megawatt hydroelectric plant in the
country.
Taqa, which made the acquisition through a joint venture with Jyoti Structures Ltd, an Indian power
infrastructure company, said it plans to fully acquire the firm at a later date. Financial details of the deal
were not revealed.
The purchase is the latest in a string of acquisitions by the firm, which is 75 per cent owned by the Abu
Dhabi government.
Construction of the Sorang hydroelectric project is 85 per cent complete and the plant is expected to
begin operations in 2013, Taqa said in a statement.
Sorang hydroelectric project will be powered by the Sorang Khad, a river originating in the Himalayas,
and will supply electricity to the northern states of India, a region currently facing power shortages. It
uses run-of-the-river technology to convert the river’s natural water flow to electricity, eliminating the
need for a reservoir.
Once fully acquired, the Abu Dhabi firm will hold a majority stake in the joint venture, the statement
said.
“This investment will both complement our existing power generation business in India and support
Taqa’s nascent renewable energy stream,” Carl Sheldon, CEO of Taqa, said, adding it reflected the firm’s
confidence in the Indian market.
Taqa already operates a 250 megawatt lignite power station in the Neyveli region of southern India.
92
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Last week, Taqa said it was buying a 50 per cent stake in a wind power project in Minnesota from a
subsidiary of France’s Electricite de France, Taqa’s first such acquisition in the United States.
It also bought a 53.2 percent operating interest in an oil block in Iraqi Kurdistan from General Exploration
Partners (GEP) in November and signed a deal in December to acquire assets in the North Sea from BP
for over $1.3 billion.
Taqa is also investing in a $12 billion project to produce electricity in Turkey’s Afsin-Elbistan region, it
was announced in early January. The Afsin-Elbistan field has long been targeted for further development
with Turkish energy minister Taner Yildiz announcing a few months ago that Turkey is targeting
developing a total of 17GW of new power plant using local lignite and hard coal.
In November, 2012, Taqa reported a third-quarter net loss of Dh288 million, compared with a profit of
Dh537 million a year ago.
In December, 2012, Taqa signed off a syndicated $2.5 billion loan via ten arranging banks.

Punj Lloyd chases Australia's Macmahon construction unit
Reuters / Sydney Jan 10, 2013, 05:16 IST
Punj Lloyd Ltd , stepped up its offer for the construction business of Macmahon Holdings Ltd on Thursday,
looking to trump a current deal with Leighton Holdings Ltd .

Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Punj Lloyd unit Sembawang Australia said it would offer A$38 million for Macmahon's construction
businesses, including its rail business. Alternatively, it is offering to beat Macmahon's existing A$20
million agreement with Leighton for the construction assets, minus the rail business, by A$5 million.
Macmahon, which is shedding its construction arm to become a full service mining contractor, said its
board was considering the proposal.
Macmahon last week distanced itself from Punj Lloyd's original approach, which did not include a dollar
figure, saying it could not offer the Indian firm due diligence due to exclusivity arrangements with
Leighton.
Macmahon said in December it planned to exit construction and announced a deal to transfer the majority
of its construction assets to Leighton. Construction group Leighton owns 24% of Macmahon, according to
Thomson Reuters data.
Coal India to fund construction of rail network to link coalfields
Sudheer Pal Singh / New Delhi Jan 10, 2013, 00:20 IST
In a first, Coal India Ltd (CIL), the world’s largest coal miner, is set to fund construction of a large rail
network connecting the country’s coalfields. For this, CIL would float a special-purpose vehicle ( SPV) that
would lay a 180-km line for evacuating coal currently blocked in Chhattisgarh. To cover its investment, in
yet another first for the miner, it is planning to levy a user charge, marking its entry into haulage
business.
While CIL would hold 64 per cent stake in the SPV, the rest would be shared between Ircon, a company
under the rail ministry, and the Chhattisgarh government. The move is part of a bigger plan being
implemented under the PMO’s watch to set up three rail lines, running 300-km across three naxalaffected but coal-rich states of Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand. The PMO has asked the coal,
environment and rail ministries to complete the project in three years to free up 300 mt coal supply.
“This is an unprecedented move by CIL to ramp up supply. We will fund an arterial rail line running 180
km across coalfields. So far, we have built only small railway sidings of less than 10 km for in-house
use,” CIL Chairman S Narsing Rao told Business Standard. He said the miner would fund 64 per cent, or
Rs 2,880 crore, of the Rs 4,500-crore cost for building the double-line broad-gauge Bhupdeopur-KorbaDharamjai rail corridor. The decision was taken at a recent meeting of the PM’s principal secretary, Pulok
Chatterjee, with Rao, secretaries of the coal and environment ministries and Railway Board Chairman
Vinay Mittal.
Rao said the CIL subsidiaries had approved the funding proposal. The details of the user fee to be
charged on companies in the power and steel sectors, a completely new concept, were being worked out.
It had been decided CIL would finalise a Memorandum of Understanding with the rail ministry on the
projects funded by the miner. The MoU would cover the financial obligation on CIL and the operational
responsibility of the railways.
The line would connect the eastern and western corridors of Chhattisgarh’s Mand-Raigarh coalfield, which
houses 37 billion tonnes of high-grade reserves. The field has a production potential of 40 mt a year. The
Planning Commission has granted in-principle approval for a 63-km section of the line.
As part of the plan, two more lines, covering 146-km would be laid to connect Jharkhand’s North
Karanpura coalfield with Odisha’s Ib Valley. Chatterjee has started quarterly review of the progress of the
overall project.

M/s Leighton Construction was awarded a $ 1.2 billion contract under Darwin’s Ichthys gas project.
Leighton will build the core infrastructure for LNG plant at Blaydin Point for $923 million and service the
venture for a further $280 million. The deal brings the company’s contracts from Inpex to $4.5 billion.
Thiess a Leighton Holdings’ subsidiary and contractor MacMahon Holdings won a $456 million contract to
upgrade a section of the Pacific Highway in northern NSW. The Thiess and MacMahon joint venture (6040 respectively) will be responsible for the design and construction of a four lane divided carriageway
stretching 26.5 kilometres from the Frederickton Interchange and Eungai, north of Kempsey.
Construction work is scheduled to begin in mid-2013.
The Coal Terminal Action Group, an alliance of community groups, in Newcastle is campaigning against a
proposed new coal terminal. The multi-billion dollar project would allow an extra 120 million tonnes of
coal to be processed on Kooragang Island. Local residents are worried about the potential health impacts
of another coal-loader.
The New South Wales Government has unveiled its final transport master plan, which confirms that a
light rail line will be built through Sydney's central business district and ban cars from much of George
Street. A 12 kilometre tram line will link Circular Quay and Central Railway Station to the Sydney Cricket
Ground, Randwick Racecourse and the University of New South Wales. Private cars will be banned from
about 40 per cent of George Street, between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street. The CBD's bus network
will also be redesigned to reduce congestion. Premier Barry O'Farrell says the Government expects to
invest $300 billion into infrastructure over the next two decades and would also require Commonwealth
funding.
An environmental assessment has given the green light to a proposal to build a $250 million deepwater
port facility on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. The report had recommended that Centrex metals’ plan
to build a 500-metre jetty, a ship loading facility, storage areas and associated infrastructure, be
approved subject to a number of safeguards. It is estimated this will enable Centrex to export up to 20
million tonnes of iron and grain from SA each year. The new facility, at Port Spencer, would be located
about 70 kilometres from Port Lincoln. The development awaits the federal government’s approval before
construction can begin.
Melbourne’s Docklands continues to strengthen its position as Australia’s pre-eminent urban renewal

Madam / Sir,
Exim Bank's Line of Credit (LOC) of USD 20 million to Nigerian Export-Import Bank
Export-Import Bank of India (Exim Bank) has concluded an agreement dated November 15, 2011 with
the Nigerian Export-Import Bank , making available to the latter, a Line of Credit (LOC) of USD 20 million
(USD Twenty millions) for financing exports of eligible goods and services from India. The goods and
services for export under the agreement are those which are eligible for export under the Foreign Trade
Policy of the Government of India and whose purchase may be agreed to be financed by Exim Bank under
this agreement. Out of the total credit under this Agreement, the goods and services of the value of at
least 90 per cent of the contract price shall be supplied by the seller from India.
2. The Credit Agreement under the LOC is effective from May 10, 2012 and the date of execution of
Agreement is November 15, 2011. Under the LOC, the last date for opening Letters of Credit and
Disbursement will be 36 months (May 9, 2015) and 42 months (November 09, 2015) from the effective
date of the Agreement.
3. Shipments under the credit will have to be declared on GR / SDF Forms as per instructions issued by
Reserve Bank from time to time.
4. While no agency commission shall be payable in respect of exports financed under the above line of
credit, the Reserve Bank may consider, on merit, requests for payment of commission up to a maximum
of 5 per cent of the f.o.b. (free on board) / c&f (cost and freight)/c.i.f.(cost, insurance and freight) value
in respect of goods exported and which require after sales services. In such cases, commission will have
to be paid by deduction from the invoice of relevant shipment to agents and the reimbursable amount by
the Exim Bank to the negotiating bank will be 90 per cent of the f.o.b / c&f /c.i.f. value. Approval for the
payment of commission should be obtained from the office of the Reserve Bank of India (Foreign
Exchange Department) within whose jurisdiction the Head Office of the exporter is situated, before the
relevant shipment is effected. In other cases (i.e. exports not involving after sales services), if required
the exporter may use his own resources or utilize balances of his EEFC a/c for payment of agency
commission in free foreign exchange. Authorised Dealer Category –I (AD Category –I ) banks may allow
such remittance after realization of full payment of contract value subject to compliance of prevailing
instructions on payment of agency commission.
5. AD Category-I banks may bring the contents of this circular to the notice of their exporter constituents
and advise them to obtain full details of the Line of Credit from Exim Bank's office at Centre One, Floor

ANAND SHRAMA ANNOUNCES MEASURES TO BOOST EXPORTS GOVERNMENT AIMS TO MOVE
TO POSITIVE TERRITORY IN EXPORTS
Date : 26 Dec 2012
Location : New Delhi
The Union Minister for Commerce, Industry and Textiles Shri Anand Sharma announced additional
incentives to boost exports here today. These incentives came in the backdrop of the Annual Supplement
of the Foreign Trade Policy announced on June 5, 2012. Speaking to media here, Shri Sharma said that
the 2% Interest Subvention Scheme on rupee export credit which is available to certain specific sectors
including handicrafts, carpets, handloom, readymade garments, processed agriculture products, sports
goods and toys, has been given an extension up to March 31, 2014. At present, the Scheme is scheduled
to end on 31st March 2013. Along with this, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) for all sectors will now
be able to avail the benefits of the Scheme.
Shri Sharma, while highlighting that the engineering sector has been a major contributor for both job
creation and value addition of Indian manufacturing, extended the benefits of 2% interest subvention to
certain specific sub-sectors of the engineering sector. “They will receive this benefit from the last quarter
of the current financial year, that is, from 1st January 2013 till 31st March 2014,” said Shri Sharma.
Shri Sharma also announced the introduction of a “pilot scheme” of 2% Interest Subvention
for Project Exports through EXIM Bank for countries of SAARC region, Africa and Myanmar.
Speaking about the project, Shri Sharma said that “the scheme will be operational
immediately for a combined worth of US$ 500 million to begin with. The interest subvention
would be linked to the Buyer’s Credit Scheme which was introduced in the last financial year
being implemented through EXIM Bank, ECGC and the National Export Insurance Account.” He
further added that the “objective of the scheme is to boost India’s exports in these countries
by providing long term concessional credit through EXIM Bank, as co-financing in
infrastructure sectors such as drinking water, housing, irrigation, road projects, renewable
energy, etc.”
Shri Sharma said that a “decision has been taken to grant incentive on incremental exports made during
the period January-March 2013 over the base period January-March 2012.” He added that the incentive
“would be available to an IEC holder at the rate of 2% on the incremental growth of exports made to
USA, EU and countries of Asia.” But this “would not include deemed exports, service exports, third party
exports, export-turnover of SEZ units etc.,” said Shri Sharma.
Apart from these, Shri Sharma announced that five new countries have been added under the Focus
Market Scheme while Eritrea has been added under the Special Focus Market Scheme. The five countries
being added under FMS are New Zealand, Cayman Islands, Latvia, Lithuania and Bulgaria. Under FMS
Duty Credit of 3 per cent is given on the FoB value of exports while inder the Duty Credit is 4 per cent.
Shri Sharma further announced that sixty new products which include Engineering, Rubber, Textiles,
Drugs & Pharmaceuticals products among others, and three countries (Taiwan, Thailand and Czech
Republic) have been incorporated under the Market Linked Focus Product Scheme. Under the Focus
Product Scheme, Shri Sharma said that more than 100 new products have been added from sectors
including Engineering, Textiles, Chemicals, Drugs, Pharmaceuticals, Paper, Books, Publication and Printed
Material. The products will be benefitted by 2 per cent Duty Credit. Under the Vishesh Krishi and Gram
Udyog Yojana, Shri Sharma said that Shellac Wax, Flours and Meal of Oilseeds or Oleagenous Fruits
having more than 51% protein, and Food Preparations not elsewhere specified have been added to give a
boost to the exports. He highlighted that the scrips issued under different schemes namely FPS, FMS,
VKGUY, SHIS, MLFPS, SFIS, AIIS, for import of goods, will now be permitted to be utilised for payment of
Excise Duty for domestic procurement, to encourage manufacturing, value addition and employment.
“This will be an important measure for import substitution and will help in saving of foreign exchange in
addition to creating additional employment,” said Shri Sharma.

Fast delivery of Bahrain projects needed
3 January 2013
With its Shia population still restive, Bahrain’s focus is now on quick delivery of housing projects
After two years in the planning, Bahrain’s landmark social housing public-private partnership (PPP) is
finally close to reaching a conclusion. However, when financing is signed and work starts on site, it will
not herald the beginning of a wave of new housing projects as promised.
Much has changed since the housing PPP was launched in 2010. The project has been cut in size from
more than 4,000 housing units to about 3,000. Obtaining financing has been a major challenge and the
scheme does not really resemble a PPP any more. The chances of it being the start of a 20,000-unit
housing programme look decidedly slim.
“Of the $10bn of aid promised to Manama, much of it is set to be focused on housing”
Politically too, Bahrain is a different place now. The housing PPP was launched by the Economic
Development Board (EDB), Crown Prince Salman’s reform vehicle, which was in ascendancy at the time.
Its reformist goals were reaching into every part of the state. New ideas of letting the private sector
handle delivery of housing after the government’s failure to significantly reduce waiting times, which
could stretch to 15 years, attracted attention around the region as countries worried that shortages in
housing and jobs threatened to upset the delicate stability enjoyed around the region.
That balance was soon upset by the Arab uprisings. The time for new delivery methods of housing for
nationals had quickly passed. In Bahrain, the political clout of the EDB was substantially weakened as
conservatives took back the reins of government from the crown prince.
Of the $10bn of aid promised to Manama by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, much of it is set to be
focused on building houses. With its Shia population still restive, Bahrain’s focus is now quick delivery
rather than efficiency. It also needs to realise attracting foreign private investment into its real estate
sector will be tricky until political stability has returned and the economy is stable. That may be some
way off.
Al-Zour North raises optimism for Kuwait's projects market
17 January 2013 |
By Adal Mirza
Hopes are high that Kuwait’s projects market has found new momentum following parliamentary
elections
After almost a year of commercial negotiations, on 8 January, Kuwait’s Partnerships Technical Bureau
(PTB) awarded the contract to build the country’s first independent water and power plant (IWPP). A
consortium of UK/French IP-GDF Suez, Japan’s Sumitomo and the local AH Sager & Brothers won the
long-awaited deal. It offers hope that Kuwait’s projects market could finally start living up to its potential
after many delays and dashed expectations.

The group had been selected as the PTB’s preferred bidder in February last year, but the Al-Zour North
IWPP scheme, like many others before it, stalled in the face of political opposition as the National
Assembly (parliament) recommended scrapping the deal entirely. The PTB has shown tenacity in waiting
for the first project under the Kuwait Economic Development Plan to be approved and analysts are hoping
it will be the first of many.
A letter of agreement has been signed with the group and the investors are incorporating a public joint
stock company to undertake the project, says Sohail Barkatali, a partner at US law firm Chadbourne &
Parke based in Dubai. The firm has been advising the PTB on the contract along with France’s BNP
Paribas and Lahmeyer International.
“Financial close will occur a couple of months after the project company has been fully incorporated,”
says Barkatali. “It has taken three years to get to this point. The project has been subject to intense
scrutiny. Nevertheless, political will to do the project has been steadfast and strong.”
Test Case
Starting from a much-criticised public-private partnership (PPP) law, Kuwait has now refined its PPP
programme to fit the more international format financiers have become familiar with. But one of the
distinguishing features of Kuwait’s PPP programme is the requirement that a 50 per cent stake is offered
to the public, unlike others where it would be held by a state-owned company, demanding any deal be
subjected to higher levels of scrutiny.
“After a year of slowdown due to the political changes in Kuwait, the government has indeed shown the
intention to make good [on the past] delays and has shown decisiveness in having the Al-Zour North
IWPP deal signed,” says Tom Lind, head of corporate finance at the local Gulf Bank.
As the country’s first IWPP, Al-Zour North is a test case of the willingness of the private sector to back
projects in Kuwait. That the Ministry of Electricity & Water accepted the PTB’s recommendations indicates
the solidity of the bureau’s blueprint. “This gives confidence for the future and we foresee that execution
of [future] projects will be [carried out] in line with the time frames indicated,” says Lind.
These latest tenders represent an attempt to rebuild some international investor confidence
Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, London School of Economics
There is a long list of PPP projects to follow, including a second phase of Al-Zour North, the Al-Khairan
power and desalination plant and an integrated solar power project. Few other countries in the region
have adopted the PPP model outside the power sector, but Kuwait is also planning for the imminent
launch of a wastewater treatment project at Umm Hayman, along with metro, railway and hospital
schemes.
“With these deals rolling out, Kuwait could be one of the most productive PPP markets in the region,”
says Barkatali.
Kuwait’s market revival
The Al-Zour North award follows other signs that Kuwait’s projects market may have turned a corner. In
limbo for more than two years, the Jaber al-Ahmad Causeway was finally awarded by the Public Works
Ministry to a consortium led by South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction at the end of
October 2012.
The $2.6bn bridge will cross Kuwait Bay, linking Kuwait City with Bubiyan Island, where the government
has a series of multibillion dollar projects planned.

Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
In June last year, state-refiner Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC) started the slow process of
prequalifying international engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms for two of the largest
infrastructure projects ever launched in the Gulf region.
The New Refinery Project (NRP) and the Clean Fuels Project (CFP), which combined are worth more than
$30bn, will be the largest projects ever undertaken in Kuwait and form part of plans to increase refining
capacity to 1.4 million barrels a day (b/d) from the current 956,000 b/d.
Kuwait has been planning to develop the two projects since the start of the new millennium, driven by
the need to produce more fuel to prevent electricity shortages in the summer, as well as the decrepit
state of the Shuaiba refinery. Project management consultancy contracts have already been awarded to
UK engineering firm Amec and the US’ Foster Wheeler, but firms are still awaiting news on the release of
EPC tenders.
After awarding then cancelling the NRP once before, Kuwait will have to work hard to rebuild its
reputation for flaky commitment, but it has a chance to do this by taking advantage of the current lack of
political opposition in the National Assembly.
“These latest tenders represent an attempt to rebuild some international investor confidence, so any
renewed obstacle, now or later in the process, would be very damaging indeed,” says Kristian Coates
Ulrichsen, a Kuwait research fellow at the London School of Economics.
Politics in Kuwait
Al-Zour North’s delays demonstrate the huge political dimension behind such schemes. A preferred bidder
had been selected back in February 2012, but four months later the project ground to a halt when the
National Assembly, then packed with opposition members of parliament, recommended the scheme be
scrapped. The government overturned the recommendation, but it has still taken more than six months
to get the deal signed.
A new National Assembly has been in place since fresh elections were held on 2 December. The 50member body has already made it clear that it is more willing to acquiesce to the government’s agenda.
On 9 January, it ratified controversial changes to the electoral law set out in an emergency decree in
November. The new law, which was decreed while the previous parliament had been disbanded, allowed
voters to select only a single candidate instead of four under the previous system.
The change prompted an escalation in street demonstrations and calls for a boycott of the snap elections
ushering in a largely pro-government parliament. This included 17 members from the Shia community, a
minority group that has traditionally tied its fortunes to the ruling family. Opposition groups have called
for further demonstrations to protest against the ratification.
As a result of its election boycott, Kuwait’s opposition has left itself with little or no voice in parliament,
and no avenue for disapproval except through street protests. Hundreds rallied in Sabah al-Nasser, a
predominantly tribal area just southwest of Kuwait City on 13 January, carrying orange flags and calling
for parliament to be dissolved yet again.
So while there is a newfound momentum in the projects sector, politics could yet intervene again. The
atmosphere in the country is tense. Kuwaiti courts have jailed Twitter users for “defaming the emir”, and
the press is alive with rumours of proposed changes to the country’s 1962 constitution restricting
criticism of the emir or state as well as giving him the responsibility of appointing a crown prince.
“The rumours first appeared in the [local] Jarida newspaper owned by Mohammad al-Sager, a leading
liberal ex-member of parliament. They were denied, but if they materialise they would enrage the
opposition as currently the National Assembly has to approve the selection of the crown prince,” says
Ulrichsen.
123
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Many in Kuwait believe the emir wants ex-prime minister Nasser al-Mohammed al-Sabah as the crown
prince. They also say the annulling of the opposition-dominated parliament elected in February 2012 and
subsequent amendments to the electoral law has led to the installation of a pro-government parliament
that would rubber-stamp any such decision.
“I don’t believe this would happen, as Nasser is so unpopular that any attempt to rehabilitate him would
trigger near-revolutionary opposition, but stranger things have happened. The lesson of the past year is
to expect the unexpected,” says Ulrichsen.
The challenge for the government will be to make sufficient progress to enable projects to outlast any
return of political opposition to the parliament. The spate of high-profile decision reversals in recent years
has inflicted extraordinary damage on Kuwait’s business reputation and the country can ill-afford a
repetition of that.

Budget ($m) $9,484m
Contract Type Build
Main Contract Completion Q1 2016
Overview
Construction has begun on Saudi Arabia’s Haramain high-speed railway, the first high-speed line to be
built in the GCC.
The line will connect the Muslim holy cities of Medina and Mecca via King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC)
in Rabigh, Jeddah. From KAEC it will connect into the national rail network and link up to King Abdulaziz
International Airport.
The aim of the line is to alleviate road traffic between Medina and Mecca, especially during the pilgrimage
season. The 450km track will be capable of handling speeds of up to 320km per hour. The route stretches
444km and will feature up to seven stations.
Stations include two in Mecca (one near the grand mosque, the other on the city outskirts), two in Jeddah
(at the airport and in the city centre), one in Rabigh and one in Medina, about 3km from the Holy
Mosque. Up to 100 trains a day will run on the line.
Journey times on the 72 km long Jeddah-Mecca route will be 30 minutes, while the 372km Jeddah to
Medina section will take two hours.
Major contracts under phase 2 of the project were awarded in 2011, with the largely Spanish consortium
led by local firm Al-Shoula Group signing a $7.9bn contract for the construction contract. The other
members of the consortium included six Spanish companies: Talgo, Indra, OHL, Dimetronic, Renfe and
Adif.
124
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Phase two comprises the construction of the railway tracks, installation of signalling and
telecommunication systems, electrification, construction of the operational control centre, the
procurement of 35 trains and the operation and maintenance of the railway.
Phase one of the project covered the construction of the track bed, bridges, embankments and cuttings.
The contract was awarded in 2009 to Al-Rajhi Alliance, a consortium including Chinese and Saudi firms,
with China Railway Engineering and France’s Alstom Transport.
The project was previously known as the Mecca-Medina Rail Link.
Middle East’s Top 100 projects shows mixed signs of recovery
22 January 2013 |
By Robert Jones
Project plans are picking up, but delays in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have skewed results
The easy headline to shout from the Middle East projects market in 2012 was ‘Dubai is back’. While the
UAE emirate reclaimed attention by announcing new, large-scale schemes, it was a mixed year for the
rest of the region, with confidence improving, but the value of contract awards falling.
There are $304bn-worth of schemes under way according to the latest MEED ranking of the top 100
projects in execution in the Middle East. The list is dominated by Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE, with a value
of $96.3bn, $77.5bn and $48.7bn respectively.
Although Iran accounts for $77.5bn in total, and 25 projects within the Top 100, much of that figure
($30.9bn) is accounted for by the various phases of the South Pars gas field in the Gulf. The development
is broken into 30 phases, due to the size of the gas field. The South Pars field sits adjacent to Qatar’s
North Dome field and combined, the two cover an area of 9,700 square kilometres.
While Iran is moving forward with several projects, it is left to be seen whether they will all be completed
on time, particularly with international sanctions increasingly taking a toll on the country’s economy.
The main contractors working on projects within the Top 100 projects ranking come from Saudi Arabia,
South Korea and Iran, with approximately $63.6bn, $61.9bn and $58bn-worth of work.
Contractors from Iran work exclusively in their domestic market, while in Saudi Arabia, all but one
contract is in the kingdom. South Korean contractors dominated the Middle East projects market in 2012,
with Samsung Engineering accounting for the most contract work by value, securing $10.5bn-worth of
contracts within the Top 100. However, overall, Saudi Binladin Group is comfortably the most active
contractor within the Top 100 projects list, with $34.2bn-worth of contract awards. Samsung Engineering
is the second most active contractor, although its work is spread across more countries.
Contractors from South Korea have won more work in the UAE than contractors from any other country.
Within the Top 100, they have $23.3bn-worth of contracts, with contracting companies from the UAE a
distant second winning $7.2bn-worth of work. South Korean contractors within the Top 100 projects have
additionally won more work in the UAE than they have in any other country across the region.
Transport is the biggest sector by value in the Top 100 projects in execution, with $69.2bn-worth of
projects, followed by gas ($62bn) and construction ($50.7bn). Most transport projects are in Saudi Arabia
($28bn) and Iran ($18.3bn), with the main schemes including the Tehran to Mashhad Electrification,
Haramain High-Speed Rail Network and the seaport in King Abdullah Economic City.
Gas projects are dominated by the various phases of Iran’s South Pars field development, while major
construction projects in execution include the Al-Shamiyah Development in Mecca and towers being built
125
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
at King Abdullah Financial District. Most construction projects within the Top 100 are in Saudi Arabia
($27.2bn) followed by the UAE ($10bn).
Looking at the 50 Top projects planned or underway by value, while in 2011 these were worth $912.2bn,
that has now risen 42 per cent to $1,561.9bn (this excludes any sub-megaprojects on the list to avoid
double counting). However, while the rise suggests a rapidly growing market, 15 per cent, or $238.9bnworth, of the sub-packages within these megaprojects are classed as on hold or cancelled. About
$352.8bn of these projects, or 22 per cent of the total value, are in study, design, bid or execution.
2012 saw some of the larger schemes announced during the boom times re-emerging, particularly in the
UAE. Among megaprojects, Dubai is back with its big, bold schemes. Work has picked up again in areas
such as in Business Bay, Dubailand and Jumeirah Gardens, and Dubai announced plans to develop
Mohammed Bin Rashid City. The megaproject is number five in the MEED Top 50 list of all projects, with
five of the City’s sub-schemes also making the list.
Dubai alone accounts for $395bn-worth of the $664bn of megaprojects planned or under way in the UAE
(this excludes sub-megaprojects on the list to avoid double counting).
Among all projects in the Middle East, and not just the Top 100 in execution, the UAE saw a 14 per cent
growth in the value of contract awards for the first three quarters of 2012, totalling $20bn compared with
$17.2bn the previous year. The majority of these awards were in construction ($9.5bn), followed by
transport ($5.9bn) and oil ($3.6bn).
Abu Dhabi ranked as the most active emirate, with $11.9bn of contract awards in the first three quarters
of 2012, followed by Dubai ($6.9bn) and Fujairah a distant third, spending $1.4bn.
While Abu Dhabi and Dubai spent roughly the same in construction projects ($4.1bn and $4bn
respectively), Abu Dhabi spent heavily on oil ($3.3bn) and transport ($3.2bn) schemes.

The biggest contract in Abu Dhabi was a $2.87bn award at the delayed Midfield Terminal Complex at the
emirate’s airport. This went to a consortium of Turkey’s TAV, Athens-based Consolidated Contractors
Company, and the local Arabtec Construction. Other major contracts signed included packages within
Emal’s aluminium smelter project, the quay wall for the harbour expansion at Das Island and Takreer’s
carbon black and delayed coker project in Ruwais. Contract awards in Dubai included towers in Business
Bay, infrastructure works on frond N on the Palm Jumeirah and a range of packages for Meydan City.
Despite the year-on-year growth, Abu Dhabi and Dubai saw the value of awards see-saw quarter-onquarter, and both were reliant on public sector contracts. But the overall value of projects awarded
reflects the growing confidence in the UAE, which has been largely unaffected by the Arab uprisings, and
has benefited from tourism and being seen as a safe location to do business.
However, as the region emerges from the impact of the financial downturn, with new projects launched
and a number of those on hold restarting, the picture is not one of total growth. Both Saudi Arabia and
Qatar underperformed given expectations in 2012. Across Mena, the value of contract awards made in
the first three quarters of 2012 fell by 9.4 per cent, from $134.1bn to $122.5bn.
Remove Saudi Arabia and Qatar from the equation however, and the remainder of the region saw a 7 per
cent rise in the value of all contract awards during the first three quarters of 2012. That drop was caused
by Qatar pushing major contract awards for the Doha Metro back to 2013, and in Saudi Arabia the failure
of the promised spend on infrastructure in the country.
A combination of slow decision-making, bureaucracy and capacity crunch are thought to have caused a
41 per cent fall in the value of contract awards between the first and third quarters of 2012, when
compared to the same period in 2011, from $50,217bn to $35,628bn. Those awards were bolstered by
the value of petrochemical and industrial awards made during 2012. The value of construction awards fell
22 per cent, from $11.3bn in the first nine months of 2011 to $8.9bn during the same period in 2012.
Despite the weakness in Saudi contract awards, the kingdom saw a rise in combined spending for
projects planned or underway, up from a little over $600bn in 2011 to around $860bn in 2012.
127
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
Forecast
The outlook for the projects market is expected to continue to improve in 2013, with $661.6bn-worth of
projects earmarked across the Mena region. Construction, oil and transport will be the main sectors
where money is spent either building new or expanding existing developments. A $4bn package within
Kuwait’s delayed new refinery project, Baghdad’s $3bn rail line, Yemen’s $1.6bn steel plant expansion
and the UAE’s $1bn waste to energy plant are the biggest projects by value due to move forward.
Between 2013 and the end of 2015, there are $1,458bn-worth of projects planned or under way,
according to regional projects tracker MEED Projects. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Algeria currently have
the biggest plans, and in terms of sectors, construction and power dominate.
Power supply is a key issue for countries in the region, as growing populations and industrial usage strain
existing infrastructure. And it is a power project that accounts for Algeria’s surprise position as number
two in terms of project plans to 2015. It is currently studying plans for 22 gigawatts of solar power, at an
estimated cost of $120bn, although that cost will be spread over a number of years. If plans move ahead,
the project will supply 15 per cent of Europe’s electricity by 2050. A joint venture between Sonelgaz and
Destertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) Eumena, a decision is expected in the first quarter of 2013, with
completion scheduled for 2030.

As the birthplace of Islam, and home to the largest oil reserves in the world and the biggest population in
the GCC, Saudi Arabia is guaranteed a position of regional and international importance.
The kingdom has close ties with allies in the West, particularly the US and the UK. The country’s role on
the global stage is growing as the only Arab member and the only Opec member of the G20. Its
economic dominance in the region means it is considered the most important voice within the GCC.
Internally, Saudi Arabia faces several challenges. King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, ruler since 2005, is trying
to bring about reform and development for the country, which despite its wealth suffers from huge
income inequality. Development is tempered by religious elements in the country, whose strict Wahabi
interpretation of the Quran views any development that could be described as Westernisation with
contempt.
King Abdullah has played a careful balancing act between modernisation and appeasing the Islamic
clerics. Now more than 85, questions about his succession are increasing, and the impacts that a new
ruler will have on the country.
Saudi Arabia is named after King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman al-Saud, the founder of modern Saudi
Arabia, who united the country under his family’s rule. Since 1953, the sons of Al-Saud have ruled the
kingdom, along with the Majlis al-Shura or Shura Council, created in 1992 and comprising members
appointed by the king.
GOVERNMENT
Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy and has been ruled by the Al-Saud dynasty since its inception. The
king is responsible for appointing a council of ministers, which he heads as prime minister, and also
selecting a crown prince to act as deputy prime minister and heir to the throne.
The current crown prince is Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud, who was appointed in June 2012
following the death of Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz al-Saud. Just a few months previously, in November
129
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
2011, Prince Nayef, the former governor of Riyadh, had been appointed second deputy prime minister
and defence minister, following the death of Prince Sultan.
The kingdom is mostly Sunni, with a smaller Shia population concentrated in the Eastern Province. The
Shia often complain of marginalisation, and protests against the government frequently end in clashes
with security forces.
The Quran is the constitution of the country.
ECONOMY
Saudi Arabia holds the world’s largest hydrocarbon reserves and its economy is dominated by oil income.
Oil sales account for around a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) and the government sector
another quarter. The private sector contributes around 50 per cent of GDP.
In mid-2010, the government announced a SR1.4 trillion ($385bn) five-year development plan from
2010-14. It aims to improve the standards of living, enhance labour skills, and diversify the production
base in the kingdom. It predicts an average growth rate of 5.2 per cent a year. In early 2011 King
Abdullah announced further spending measures to focus on housing and social welfare programmes.
The slowdown in the global economy and the fall in oil prices in 2008-09 has dented the state budget, but
government finances remain strong. Government debt has continued to fall from a peak in 2003, and the
government has the finances to continue to increase state spending as the budget returned to surplus in
2010 after a deficit in 2009.
Despite its wealth, unemployment among the rapidly growing population presents the kingdom with a
significant challenge. Unemployment is thought to be just under 10 per cent.
The Supreme Economic Council was established in 1999 to lead the diversification of the economy away
from oil, and was followed in 2000 by the formation of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority
(Sagia) to encourage foreign direct investment into the Kingdom.
OIL & GAS
National oil company (NOC) Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world, dominates the oil and
gas sector. It is responsible for more than 95 per cent of the country’s oil output. Aramco is also
regarded the region’s best-run state oil firm by industry leaders.
From its headquarters in Dhahran in the Eastern Province, the company manages almost all of Saudi
Arabia’s hydrocarbon enterprises. Aramco has just completed a $100bn investment programme and will
now move into a new phase of oil exploration.
Aramco can produce around 12 million barrels a day of oil, and is the ‘swing producer’ (can increase or
decrease its oil production) for Opec.
BANKING
The Saudi banking market is largely sheltered from foreign competition. There are 12 local lenders.
Several have significant ownership by foreign banks, but otherwise the main area for foreign banks to
compete is in investment banking.
The kingdom is home to some of the largest banks in the region by asset size, and after a difficult 2009,
the banks are now extremely liquid and desperate to book new deals.
Retail products offer a great opportunity because of the kingdom’s large, under-banked population, and
the lack of development of products like mortgages and insurance. Progress of a long-awaited mortgage
130
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
law has been slow, hindering development of the home finance, and consequently the real-estate sector.
In mid-2012 the government approved the new legislation, but it is unclear how long it will be before it is
passed into law.
Financial Markets
The Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) is one of the most liquid markets in the region, however
international investors are allowed only limited access. The regulator, the Capital Market Authority (CMA),
is currently looking to increase foreign participation, but progress has been slow.
The CMA is also hoping to reduce the influence of retail investors, who dominate the market and often
cause wild fluctuations in share prices.
In 2007, the government announced that it was opening the market to trading by all GCC nationals as
part of the deepening economic integration of the six-member group. Although there are expectations
that the market will be opened to foreign investors, no clear timeline for this exists.
Industry & Petrochemicals
Like the oil sector, the kingdom’s petrochemicals and industrial sector is dominated by a single company,
Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic). One of the most actively traded companies on the Tadawul,
Sabic is still 70 per cent government owned.
It was established in 1976 to add value to the kingdom’s hydrocarbon reserves through the production of
downstream materials such as petrochemicals. It has become one of the world’s largest petrochemicals
suppliers.
The Saudi Arabian Mining Corporation (Maaden) was established in 1997 to take advantage of the
country’s vast mineral resources. It is currently working on fertiliser, aluminium, gold and base metal
projects.
A number of smaller players are also developing projects in these sectors, including petrochemicals and,
increasingly, mining schemes. The Jabal Sayid copper mining project is one of the first private initiatives
to be developed under Saudi Arabia’s mining law, and is expected to the first of many.
Geography
Saudi Arabia's geography is dominated by the Arabian Desert and associated semi-desert and shrubland
(see satellite image to right). It is, in fact, a number of linked deserts and includes the 647,500 km2
(250,001 sq mi) Rub' al Khali (“Empty Quarter”) in the southern part of the country, the world’s largest
contiguous sand desert. There are virtually no rivers or lakes in the country, but wadis are numerous.
The few fertile areas are to be found in the alluvial deposits in wadis, basins, and oases.The main
topographical feature is the central plateau which rises abruptly from the Red Sea and gradually
descends into the Nejd and toward the Persian Gulf. On the Red Sea coast, there is a narrow coastal
plain, known as the Tihamah parallel to which runs an imposing escarpment. The southwest province of
Asir is mountainous, and contains the 3,133 m (10,279 ft) Mount Sawda, which is the highest point in the
country.
Except for the southwestern province of Asir, Saudi Arabia has a desert climate with extremely high daytime temperatures and a sharp temperature drop at night. Average summer temperatures are around
113 °F (45 °C), but can be as high as 129 °F (54 °C). In the winter the temperature rarely drops below
32 °F (0 °C). In the spring and autumn the heat is temperate, temperatures average around 84 °F
(29 °C). Annual rainfall is extremely low. The Asir region differs in that it is influenced by the Indian
Ocean monsoons, usually occurring between October and March. An average of 12 in (300 mm) of rainfall
occurs during this period, that is about 60% of the annual precipitation.

ANNEXURE-III
SCREENING COMMITTEE- GUIDELINES
Objectives
The objective of screening by the Screening Committee is to assess the suitability of an Indian engineering
contracting company from all points of view- technical, financial and managerial competence- before it is
allowed to participate in tenders for overseas construction engineering contracts (civil/ electro-mechanical
etc.).
Screening Committee approval is generally accorded selectively for activities for which applicant
companies have established capability in one or more of the following construction engineering activities
involving:
i.
Dams, canals, irrigation works, tunnels and earthworks.
ii.
Roads, bridges, flyovers, airports.
iii.
Water and sewage treatment plants, pipelines.
iv.
Buildings including commercial and factory complexes, hotels, schools and hospitals.
v.
Special foundations and structural works, docks and sea water works/ports.
vi.
Electrification, air-conditioning and utilities.
vii.
Any other structure, infrastructure, utility or activity to be determined by the Screening
Committee.
viii.
General contractors with capabilities in combination of two or more areas in the above range
of activities.
Scope
The coverage of Screening Committee includes all companies wishing to undertake overseas construction
engineering projects involving design, construction, erection and/or commissioning. Indian companies
wishing to export project construction items or consultancy services are outside the purview of the
Screening Committee.
Types of Clearance
Clearance may be accorded to an applicant company for one or more of the following:
i.
Prime Contractor
or
ii.
Sub Contractor to a Foreign Contracting Company or
iii.
Sub Contractor to Indian Company
The clearance may be given either on a specific value basis or for regular overseas operations, depending
on the track record within the country, financial position, management expertise and in-house capability.
Minimum Criteria:
Contractors are normally expected to fulfill following requirements before they can gain approval of
the Screening Committee.
i)
company should be a member of Project EPC.
ii)
company should be a limited company - either private limited or public limited or a
Government undertaking/department
iii)

* An applicant company being considered as Prime-contractor should have a minimum experience of 10
years, in undertaking some comparable type of works in India. Similarly in case of Sub contractor to
Foreign Prime-contractor the minimum experience should be 7 years. In the case of a Sub-contractor to
an Indian Prime-Contractor, the experience in the line of activity in India should be a minimum of 3
years.
iv)
In respect of newly formed firms/companies, joint-ventures or SPV’s created with a view to
undertaking and executing overseas projects, the criteria for any one of the Indian or overseas
constituents / partners would form the basis for granting approvals
Screening Procedure:
Applications from applicant company should be submitted in 12 copies in the prescribed form, allowing
for a 4 weeks time for decision so as to enable receipt of reports from company’s bankers on the standing
credit worthiness and dealings and also to enable suitable appraisal. PEPC will scrutinise and supplement
data to the extent necessary to make the facts complete and ensure that the applications reach the
Committee Members atleast 10 days before the scheduled date of the meeting.
Screening Committee accords clearance after taking into account the following factors:
i)
Constitution of Board of Directors of a company including the qualifications, background and
experience of directors;
ii) Track record of a company regarding projects executed in India and overseas, as also the nature
of works undertaken. Particular emphasis is placed on record of timely completion; and value of
single largest contract executed;
iii) Exposure of a company’s management and personnel in dealing with international organisations,
and in executing works to international specifications. This is of particular relevance if the
company seeks clearance as Sub-contractor to a foreign company (from a third country);
iv) Qualifications and experience of key-personnel currently in full - time employment of company.
v) Financial position of a company, including contingent liability and bank loans as a proportion to
the net-worth; and paid up capital;
vi) Approach to international marketing and information systems. Ability of the company to furnish
information required by institutions, from time to time.
vii) The plant and machinery owned by the company, the nature and size of which would
commensurate with the volume of business proposed to be undertaken.
Though these
equipments may not be of use overseas, considering their unsuitability to the job proposed, this
factor will give the Committee an idea of the applicant company’s status in the business and his
familiarity in handling equipment, a factor that is very important for the purpose of deciding his
suitability for undertaking contracts overseas.
These are broad criteria for approval of companies. However, the Screening Committee in its
discretion may approve a particular company to take up jobs abroad or renew the approval.
Validity of Clearance:
Clearance accorded by the Screening Committee is valid for a period of three years after which company
must approach Screening Committee afresh.
Renewal applications shall have to be submitted in the prescribed format for clearance by the Screening
Committee of the Council.
Review of Companies already screened
Review occurs in the following situations:
139
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2013
i)
Those seeking change in status (e.g. from Sub-contractor to Prime-contractor or from one-shot to
regular)
ii) Companies whose guarantees have been invoked, or where recurring disputes have arisen either
with clients or with Sub-contractors, leading to litigation etc.
iii) Company whose management/ownership has undergone major change since the date of original
approval.
For the above, PEPC works out a procedure for obtaining information from their members on a
quarterly basis.
In case of adverse reports about a screened firm reported to the Screening Committee by any of
its members, the Screening Committee will be entitled to take such action as it may deem fit
including reduction in value limits approved or de-listing from the approved list.
Quorum of the Meeting:
Three members shall be the quorum of Meeting of the Screening Committee provided the three members
shall include one member representing Government Department, one representing Financial Institution
and one from industry.
Presence of Company’s representative :
The committee may ask the applicant company to depute its representative at the meeting for
clarifications or the company may depute its representative with the permission of the Committee.
PROCEDURES FOR PROJECT EXPORTS – CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Under the procedures prescribed in the Project Export Manual, consultancy projects to be undertaken by
Indian Consultancy Organizations are required to be approved by a Competent Authority, both at pretender and post tender stages. If the consultancy contract is for less than Rs. 5 crore, then these
clearances have to be obtained from the respective Authorized Dealer of foreign exchange and if the
value of the contract is between Rs. 5 crore and Rs.10 crore, then the approval is required from Exim
Bank. If it exceeds Rs. 10 crore, the approval is to be obtained from the Working Group consisting of
members form Exim Bank, RBI, ECGC and the Authorized Dealer/Commercial Bank of the Consultant.
The requirement of getting prior clearance from the concerned authorities for such consultancy contracts
which are on cash basis and are with the Overseas Government Agencies and are also funded by
multilateral funding agencies may be dispensed with by suitable amendments in PEM procedures and
FEMA.
