The GCC countries have the benefit of huge reserves built up as a buffer over the years, which will
continue to spend on an estimated $172 billion worth of infrastructure and capital projects planned and
under way in 2015
UAE’s Al Maktoum International Airport expansion, billed as the biggest airport in the world, is the first
among the GCC projects by cost. The industrial project in Abu Dhabi for Tacaamol Al Gharbia Chemicals
Industrial City is the second largest project.
Several billions being planned on capital projects, with the top sector for 2015 being mixed-use and
residential projects
In Saudi Arabia, the largest project in pre-execution phase is the Al Mozaini-Riyadh East Sub Centre. The
second largest project in pre-execution phase is Khozam Development in Jeddah.
In Qatar, the two largest projects in pre-execution phase and expected to be awarded in 2015 are from
QRail, namely the QIRP: passenger and freight rail, and from QIRP, whose passenger and freight rail:
phase 2.
This is followed by two projects, one for the new Qatar Economic Zone, which is one of the three new
planned economic zones mainly focusing on logistics and air freight companies (expected to be the
biggest of the three), and Occidental Petroleum Corporation — Idd e Shargi North Dome Expansion phase

Alstom, NASL to upgrade steam turbines at two power plants in India
20 May 2015
Alstom and NASL have won a contract valued at about INR2,067m (€26.6m) from Gujarat State
Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL) to upgrade two steam turbines at the Ukai and Wanakbori
thermal power stations, both situated in Gujarat, India.
Under the contract, Alstom will perform full shaftline retrofits of the 200MW BHEL-supplied LMZ design
steam turbines at unit 4 of the 1,350MW Ukai power station and unit 3 of the 1,470MW Wanakbori power
station.
The scope of each project includes engineering, supply, erection, commissioning and testing.
Alstom's facilities in India and Poland will manufacture equipment. The projects are scheduled to be
commissioned in 2017.
Alstom believes that the retrofits will increase turbine efficiency by around 14% from existing operating
conditions thereby reducing coal consumption and CO2 emissions.
Alstom managing director thermal services Middle East & India Steven Miller said: "This contract clearly
demonstrates the customer's confidence in Alstom's leading retrofit solutions.
"Improving efficiency of aging coal power plants not only boosts the competitiveness of these units, but
because coal is the largest fuel in India, is also key to limiting climate change."

ADB, Sri Lanka Sign $107 Million Loan Agreement for Roads
News from Country Offices | 28 May 2015
COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Government of Sri Lanka today
signed the $107 million second tranche loan agreement of an $800 million multi-tranche financing facility
to upgrade roads.
“Providing all-weather road access will help link rural communities to socio-economic centres in Sri
Lanka, thereby enabling rural communities to reap and enjoy the fruit of economic growth,” said Sri
Widowati, ADB’s Country Director in Sri Lanka.
Widowati signed the loan on behalf of ADB while R.H.S. Samarathunga, Secretary to the Treasury,
Ministry of Finance, signed for the Government of Sri Lanka.
The $107 million second tranche of the Integrated Road Investment Program, or so- called “iRoad” in Sri
Lanka is largely earmarked for the first slice of projects in the Sabaragamuwa Province; Kalutara District
of the Western Province; Central Province; North Central Province; and North Western Province, helping
provide 9.3 million people with swifter and safer travel.
The program will improve road connectivity to the rural hubs. With most of the rural access roads
currently in poor condition, improvements will result in time savings and a decrease in large vehicle
operating costs.
In addition, all-weather rural access roads will result in significant social benefits and poverty reduction,
such as increased agriculture productivity since farmers will be able to get goods to market faster, better
access to health services and education, and easier access to jobs.
ADB to Help Philippines Prepare its Largest-Ever PPP Project
MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Development Bank of the
Philippines (DBP) are to help the Government of the Philippines prepare its largest public-private
partnership (PPP) project to date to turn the South Line of the country’s North-South Railway into a
dynamic commuter and long-haul service.
“The North-South Railway is the backbone of transport in the Philippines and swifter links between the
southern provinces and the capital city will mean more people can reap the rewards of the country’s

strong economic growth,” said Ryuichi Kaga, Head of ADB’s Office of Public-Private Partnership. “As a
major part of the ASEAN transport web, the project will also help connect the Philippines better to the
rest of the region.”
The project is considered one of 15 key projects for ASEAN connectivity.
The agreement signed by ADB and DBP to provide joint advice to the Department of Transportation and
Communications on the PPP structure and bidding process, marks ADB’s first transaction advisory service
in the Philippines and its first in the transport sector.
The $3.8 billion project will build or upgrade 653 kilometers of rail lines from Manila through Legaspi City
down to Matnog in the far south of the main island of Luzon, and to Batangas in southwest Luzon.
Commuter rail operations will be upgraded for the 56 kilometers from Manila to Calamba. The line is
intended to connect seamlessly with existing and planned light railway and metro rail transit lines in
Metro Manila.
The PPP project will also improve long-haul and commuter stations, repair bridges, and modernize
signaling and fare collection systems. In addition to designing and building the railway, the winners of the
PPP concession will also operate and maintain the South Line for 30 years.
Many Asian governments have been actively looking to use PPPs to bring private sector financing and
operations into much-needed infrastructure projects but have struggled to structure transactions in a way
that attracts private companies. The Philippine government’s PPP Center has been working hard to
overcome that and has identified 56 potential PPPs with nine of them—valued at nearly $3 billion, or 1%
of gross domestic product—already awarded.
ADB has long supported PPPs and on 1 September 2014 it formally established the Office of PublicPrivate Partnership to provide independent transaction advice on specific deals and develop broader PPP
knowledge in the region.
ADB, Azerbaijan Sign A $1 Billion MOU to Upgrade Power Distribution
Network
News Release | 5 May 2015
BAKU, AZERBAIJAN – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Government of Azerbaijan have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding for a $1 billion investment program to rehabilitate and expand the
country’s power distribution network.
“Azerbaijan’s power sector plays a leading role in the country’s economy and the proposed program will
further improve electricity delivery to customers,” said Mr. Zhang. “The program will deliver more reliable
power supplies, reduced distribution losses, and higher quality customer service.”
ADB is supporting the program through a $750 million multitranche financing facility with a $250 million
loan earmarked for the first phase. The funds will be used to upgrade and expand the power distribution
lines, substations, and customer service lines, and to replace the existing electric meter devices with
digital electric meters. Capacity building support will also be given to Azerishig Open Joint Stock
Company to enhance its operational and financial performance.
The Government of Azerbaijan will provide counterpart funds of $250 million.

Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
ADB has been supporting Azerbaijan since 1999, with total approved assistance of nearly $2.1 billion
(public and private sector), much of which has been earmarked for infrastructure to help the country
diversify and expand economic opportunities.
In the energy sector, cumulative approved assistance, including cofinance, equal to about 9% of ADB’s
total country operations. ADB’s support for power improvements includes a $160 million loan completed
in 2014 to strengthen the country’s main power transmission network, a private sector energy efficiency
project, and a biomass renewable energy project. Domestic electricity sales in Azerbaijan are projected to
rise 3% annually between 2015 and 2020.
ADB Signs First-Ever PPP Co-Advisory Agreement with Global Banks
News Release | 4 May 2015
BAKU, AZERBAIJAN — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has signed a public-private partnership (PPP)
co-advisory agreement with eight global commercial banks, a move aimed at accelerating the flow of
private funds into critical infrastructure projects in developing Asia.
This agreement is the first formal co-advisory framework between a multilateral development bank and
international commercial banks.
“Coupling the in-depth market experience of the global banks with ADB’s PPP expertise in developing Asia
and strong relationships in the region should help public sector clients structure successful, bankable
PPPs without crowding out private sector advisors,” said ADB Managing Director General Juan Miranda,
who signed the agreement on behalf of ADB.
The eight banks that signed the agreement are Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, BNP Paribas, Credit
Agricole CIB, HSBC, Mizuho Bank, Macquarie Capital, Societe Generale, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking
Corporation. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of ADB’s 48th Annual Meeting of its Board of
Governors, being held here from 2-5 May 2015.
Under the agreement, ADB and the eight banks can work together to provide independent advice to
governments in developing Asia on how best to structure PPPs to make them attractive to the private
sector and to manage the subsequent PPP bidding process. The governments will, however, make the
final choice of PPP winning bidders.
ADB has estimated that developing Asia needs to spend $8 trillion between 2010 and 2020 on national
infrastructure. Many governments hope to raise finance for energy, roads, railways, ports, airports,
water, and other key infrastructure through PPPs.
ADB, with its co-advisors, will help clients assess the future income flows of projects, bring international
best practices to PPPs, and develop PPP capacity in the region to deliver bankable transactions.

Dubai set to add 28,000 hotel rooms by 2018: JLL
Issac John (Associate Business Editor) / 2 June 2015
Dubai: With hardly five years for Dubai to spruce up for the World Expo 2020, when the city is expected
to receive 20 million visitors, hotel rooms in the emirate are projected to witness an exponential growth.
JLL, a leading real estate investment and advisory firm, said Dubai is set to see a massive increase of
28,000 new hotel rooms by 2018. This is a further surge of 7,000 rooms from JLL’s recent prediction of
21,000 new keys by 2017.
Already one of the world’s top holiday destinations, Dubai is currently gearing up for the World Expo with
the government’s Tourism Vision forecasting 20 million visitors a year by the time of the event in 2020.
Statistics at the end of 2014 show that Dubai had 413 graded hotel establishments with a total of 65,000
rooms, up 3,500 compared to 2013. Supply has grown at five per cent per annum over the last five
years. Total room supply is expected to grow 12.5 per cent per annum between 2015 and 2018.
Preliminary 2014 estimates indicate nearly 12 million tourist arrivals in the emirate, registering an eight
per cent growth over 2013.
“With mega-events Dubai World Expo 2020 and 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar and a host of major
developments, including Al Habtoor City and Bluewaters Island, launching in coming years, hoteliers are
preparing for the significant increase in tourists,” said Wajeed Bagwan, general manager of the newly
launched Suba Hotel in Dubai.
“With over 3,000 new keys entering the Dubai market in 2015 alone, Suba Hotels intends to have an
edge over competition with an increased offering and a focus on our unique selling point as Dubai’s first
star boutique smart hotel with advanced technology facilities. We are planning to open three new Suba
Hotels in the Middle East and Africa by 2017.”
PwC’s second Middle East hotel forecast warns that with so much new supply coming on stream across
the region, the question is whether this upswing is sustainable in the future. “With over 54,000 rooms
under construction and another 72,000 planned for the region, supply could well start to outstrip
demand, putting ever greater pressure on both occupancy and ADR (average daily rate),” PwC said in a
recent report.
According to data compiled by STR Global, a leading source of global hotel data, the Middle East and
Africa region has reported negative year-over-year results in the three major performance metrics of
hotel occupancy, revenue per available room (RevPAR) and ADR in April.
In the GCC, Doha was the only city to post a double-digit increase in ADR, up 12.3 per cent hitting
$201.08. This was mainly because of an influx of visitor arrivals into Doha for the first quarter of 2015
related to GCC events in the market, it stated.
Despite the not-so-upbeat regional trend, Dubai is witnessing a boom in new hotel room supply. One of
the world’s leading hotel groups, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, is planning to double its portfolio in the
Middle East in the next five years, including the launch of its first W Hotel and St. Regis brands in Dubai
by the end of 2015.
Alongside a new Westin, the three hotels will be located in the new Al Habtoor City complex, described by
developers as the ‘world’s biggest residential and hospital development currently under construction’.
Dubai-based global luxury hotel company, Jumeirah Group, has two properties scheduled to open in
Dubai by 2017, including the Jumeirah Al Naseem at Madinat Jumeirah and the first hotel under its
lifestyle brand, Venu, opening off the coast of Dubai at the new Bluewaters Island. The Venu Bluewaters

Island Hotel will offer close to 300 rooms surrounded by retail, residential and hospitality zones of the
mixed-use Island, with the world’s largest Ferris wheel, the Dubai-I, at its heart.
Various existing hotels are going through major redevelopments and refurbishments to remain
competitive. “Majid Al Futtaim, owning company of Novotel City Centre Deira, Ibis City Centre Deira and
Suite Novotel Mall of Emirates, has allocated over Dh3.3 million as capital investment to support our
green initiatives,” said Ramesh Bappoo, general manager of Novotel and ibis Deira City Centre and

GCC expenditure on track for $172 billion projects in 2015
Issac John (Associate Business Editor) / 1 June 2015
Dubai: Underpinned by huge cash reserves, GCC countries will continue to spend on an estimated $172
billion worth of infrastructure and capital projects planned and under way in 2015 — the highest on
record to date, Deloitte said.
“The GCC countries have the benefit of huge reserves built up as a buffer over the years, and which they
can continue to use to achieve their outlined strategies. They are expected to continue to spend on
infrastructure and capital projects in order to achieve strategies for diversification,” said Deloitte Middle
East’s newly released annual report: ‘GCC Powers of Construction 2015: Construction — the economic
barometer for the region’.
Out of the $2.8 trillion projects which are in execution and pre-execution phases across the GCC, the
forecast of $172 billion worth of projects this year is against a backdrop of lower oil prices, continuing
political unrest and reduced International Monetary Fund growth forecasts across the GCC, said Cynthia
Corby, audit partner and leader of the construction industry for the Middle East.
The Deloitte report is based on data gathered from surveys and supported by interviews with some of the
most prominent construction industry leaders from the region.
UAE’s Al Maktoum International Airport expansion, budgeted at $32 billion and billed as the biggest
airport in the world, is the first among the GCC projects by cost. The $20 billion industrial project in Abu
Dhabi for Tacaamol Al Gharbia Chemicals Industrial City is the second largest project.
“There are other sectors with several billions being planned on capital projects, with the top sector for
2015 being mixed-use and residential projects amounting to $24 billion,” said the report.
In Saudi Arabia, the largest project in pre-execution phase is the $15 billion Al Mozaini-Riyadh East Sub
Centre. The second largest project in pre-execution phase is Khozam Development in Jeddah for $13.3
billion.
There are a number of other sectors with several billions being planned on capital projects, with the top
sectors for 2015 represented by healthcare projects amounting to $19 billion, infrastructure projects
(roads and bridges) at $35 billion, and power plants at $13 billion.
In Qatar, the two largest projects in pre-execution phase and expected to be awarded in 2015 are from
QRail, namely the QIRP: passenger and freight rail, budgeted at $15 billion, and from QIRP, whose
passenger and freight rail: phase 2 is budgeted at $3 billion.
49
Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
This is followed by two projects, one for the new Qatar Economic Zone budgeted at $3 billion, which is
one of the three new planned economic zones mainly focusing on logistics and air freight companies
(expected to be the biggest of the three), and Occidental Petroleum Corporation — Idd e Shargi North
Dome Expansion phase 5, again budgeted for $3 billion.
Of the total $2.8 trillion projects which are in execution and pre-execution phases, 40 per cent of the
value relates to residential, leisure and hospitality buildings and mixed-use developments, totalling an
anticipated budget value of $1.1 trillion, Deloitte said.
The report said key drivers for diversification in the GCC include job creation, given that 50 per cent of
the region’s population is under the age of 25. In Saudi Arabia alone, it is forecast that four million jobs
will be needed in the next five years.
GCC population growth is forecast to grow from 350 million to 602 million by 2050, all driving the GCC
countries’ strategies to provide education, healthcare, infrastructure and support to communities. “This
growth will require energy and water: a 34 per cent increase in electricity generation capacity and a
further 2.2 billion litres desalination capacity are required by 2020.”

Challenges faced by firms in investing in infrastructure projects in Africa
May 13, 2015
Africa construction sector attained a growth of 46.2% in 2014 to register a significant jump to US$103
billion from US$222 billion recorded in 2013. This is according to a report on investment of mega projects
in 2014. Deloitte, which reported that Africa had registered 76% completion rate according to their
previous reports, said Africa is still a “magnet” for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and intra-African
capital inflows.
Leading on the expenditure list was heavy investment in transport, energy and power projects; this is
according to Delloitte in its Deloitte African Construction Trends Report 2014 report. The institution said
that expectations are still high for infrastructure to provide Africa with needed market expansion.
Although the Public-Private Partnership model of investing in Africa is currently selling hot, it is
imperative for Africa to solve the various challenges encountered by international contractors in order to
open itself up for more foreign direct investments.
Current challenges and probable solutions
“Africa has no funds” for massive infrastructure projects, is the notion spread out to the naked eye. But
underneath lies what AfDB has termed as “serious constraints” and poor business environment. AfDB
went on to say last year that many countries lack adequate legal and regulatory frameworks for PPPs and
lack technical skills to manage PPP programmes and projects. Still, according to the development bank
“unfavourable investor perceptions” of country risk have to be overcome.
Last year, IMF told a ministerial-level International Monetary Fund (IMF) conference in Cameroon that
Africa needed what it called “structural reforms” to promote a strong private investment climate. In fact,
the conference focused on “desirability of tapping private sector financing”. These structural reforms
should entail removing/reducing the lack of infrastructure connectivity that is hampering faster growth –
through increased water, power and transportation costs. These, IMF say, are reducing productivity in the
private sector by about a half. Arnaud Dornel, who is a World Bank’s lead financial sector specialist said
the continent needs 15% of its gross domestic product (GDP) – totaling to US$93 billion – to fund its
infrastructure projects annually. The public sector, the conference heard, was financing over 50% of the
$45bn annual spend in infrastructure projects. He said Africa could effectively cut down the infrastructure
gap to US$31bn through “operational optimization” in which 40% of the optimization would be
undertaken by the private sector.
Yet PPPs, although represent a good for African governments in revamping infrastructure, can be
damaging if good institutions, regulations and sound budgeting, accounting and reporting are not
implemented. This is according to IMF public financial management specialist Maximilien
Queyranne speaking at the event. He conceded that PPPs are “complex to design and implement”. He
said PPP procurement required “due-diligence/multi-stage gateway process” as 62% of all renegotiated
(55% of all PPPs are renegotiated) PPPs end up with tariff increments. To reduce renegotiation,
governments would need to embed a PPP regulatory framework in law than adopt concession contracts
(17% of all renegotiations are from PPP regulatory embedded situations compared to 40% of those
emanating from concession contracts and 28% from government decrees).
Africa must also remodel the way it procures and runs infrastructure projects if change in investment is
to increase. This is according to Akshai Fofaria of Pinsent Masons law firm. “There is significant capital
waiting to be invested in African infrastructure but what is needed is more transparency about how
projects are procured and run,” he said. “Only when that is in place will international investors support
projects. This is true across Africa, including in Cameroon, where it is essential that processes are open,
fair and transparent.” He said.
Last year, African Development Bank Group (AfDB) said it would build on India’s success in
implementation of private-public partnerships (PPP) to encourage further investments in the continent. In
fact, it went on to sign a related agreement.
52
Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
AfDB sees India as one of the successful in receiving US$300 billion in large-scale investments in
infrastructure projects under the PPP model “…With more than 1,000 PPP projects, India is said to have
perfected the PPP model, which could arguably provide a solution to Africa’s infrastructural deficit.” AfDB
said. The opinion is supported by Ernst & Young and FCCI who said that PPPs would bring in 50% of the
$1 trillion to be spent on infrastructure projects in India up to 2017. The government’s effort to
streamline PPPs structures will encourage PPPs in the country.
The African Development Bank has already launched a Private Sector Operations Department which
advises and funds PPPs in areas like transportation, energy generation, industries, services and
agribusiness.
Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) as the modern way of doing things
Africa has been marshaling for public-private partnership model of financing infrastructure, with hope to
reducing the financial burden and increasing possibilities of getting private sector-related benefits in
undertaking massive infrastructure projects. This augments well with agenda by African governments to
undertake massive infrastructure projects with the aim of opening up for more business. Many new ports,
railways, roads, sea ports, energy projects and airports are already on their way to expansion or
construction.
A PPP, which is a financing model where the government agrees with a private investor to provide
services that were previously provided by the government, are hailed as capable of increasing service
delivery and production efficiencies, profitability and management of public projects.
Public-run projects and facilities have registered massive inefficiencies, delays, administration problems
and corruption, as well as misplaced priorities where projects are undertaken with political agendas.
In comparison, the private sector must first access profitability of projects before pouring money into
them. Thus, there are chances of gaining from these projects.
Implementing risk assessment and management practices by construction
firms
By Dr. Nicholas Chileshe and Dr. Geraldine John Kikwasi;
Risks in undertaking construction projects include those from internal and those from external
environments. The identification of the risks as is their management is critical to successful
implementation of infrastructure projects. Successful implementation of f construction organizations risk
management and assessment practices largely termed as RAMP by construction organizations can help
them implement necessary strategies to mitigating the risks.
Several barriers affect implementation of RAMP by construction professionals and firms in Tanzania.
Knowledge on the barriers can boost the identification and managing of the risks in the construction
sector.
Benefits of risk management and assessment practices
Revamping of the construction industry in Tanzania is important since it contributes about 7% of GDP
(the industry has already enjoyed a growth of 8 per cent over the past five years). Many projects still
experience massive cost overruns and delays, which can effectively be removed through implementation
of risk management and assessment practices. Research also shows that Sub-Saharan construction firms
that do not adopt risk assessment and management practices and techniques as part of managing their
projects, struggle through cost overruns and projects running behind schedule. Thus adoption of these
practices is linked to increasing efficiencies, profitability and removing related inconveniences.
Questions to be answered
In light of the foregoing, a number of questions need to be asked to be in a position to explore barriers
for successful implementation of risk assessment and management practices in Tanzania.
So what is the level of risk assessment and management practices awareness among the Tanzanian
construction stakeholders? Can the barriers to the usage and implementation of RAMP be assessed? Can
solutions to these barriers be proposed thereby, leading to the attainment of the Millennium Development
Goal (MDG)?
Construction industry faces many challenges in relation to construction project management
53
Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
Tanzania construction industry is struggling through poor project performance characterized by lack of
trained professionals as it over relies on foreign firms to train indigenous professionals, contractors and
consultants in undertaking big projects.
Poor project management has also been found to cause delays and disruptions in undertaking
construction projects in the country. Performance of these projects is also a factor of this poor
management of projects. Researchers have also found neglect of risk management issues in the Tanzania
construction industry.Foreign contractors dominate construction operational environment in Tanzania and
these foreigners come with a competitive advantage over local contractors. This is in relation to skills,
training, competencies, and human resources development (HRD) practices.
Why is Tanzania construction industry not adopting RAMP?
Lack of familiarity with risk assessment and management techniques among contractors is a historical
factor in implementation of them. Still, implementation of these practices is still inundated by lack of
training and skills development. Nevertheless, Tanzania does not stand out from the rest of the countries
in the world in relation to failure in adopting risk management practices – developed nations are also
being affected according to a late research in 2013.
While the Tanzanian construction industry has been characterized by lack of expertise in risk
management, clients still wanted to see unambiguous evidence and risk calculations. Still, ongoing
construction projectslack related data enough to track risk trends and the industry is still characterized by
lack of formal risk control strategies, ineffective monitoring and inappropriate risk allocation, among
others. Other researchers have found issues such as complexity of analytical tools, lack of potential
benefits for risk assessment, lack of governmental legislation, lack of manpower & time for the related
undertakings.
Chileshe and Kikwasi find that the biggest barrier implementation of risk management practices in the
country is lack of awareness of the practices among both contractors and clients. Risk management
concepts are still new in Tanzania. Other factors include “lack of information” – which could be explained
by the fact that consultants were not themselves being exposed to risks and thus cannot obviously
engage in risk control procedures.
Tanzania construction sector still must overcome lack of experience in these practices, lack of
coordination among involved parties. This, together with lack of information and experience are
connected to education, knowledge management and procurement practices.
In the ranking of barriers, Chileshe and Kikwasi find that “awareness of risk management processes”,
“lack of experience”, and “lack of information” scored 1, 2, 3 positions respectively.

categories of spending.
Growth estimates for 2009 have recently been estimated by the IMF to 6 percent.
Sudan has a low income tax rate. The top income tax rate has been reduced to 10 percent, and the top

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:
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
83
Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
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.
Project Exports as defined in para 252-260 of Foreign Trade Policy Statement 20152020
Quote:
“Project Exports
252. Project exports are broadly defined as exports of such goods and services where the export receipts
are allowed to be staggered (in conformity with RBI guidelines) over a period of more than twelve
months. This is largely to reflect that the export transaction is not a one-off single transaction but
represents certain goods, construction and service activities, where the payment receipts are staggered
in line with the project components / execution.
253. The full value of project exports is not captured under any single aggregate classification. However,
as per data maintained by the Project Export Promotion Council, its members’ project exports orders
have increased from USD 1.7 billion in 2012-13 to USD 4.4 billion in 2013-14. This increase of 162
percent is indicative of the strong potential which exists for India to aggressively increase its world trade
market share in project exports.
254. Since project export contract earnings range over one year to five years, such export orders also
impart stability to the export earnings of the country. India’s current project export contracts are
estimated at around USD 5 billion. It is estimated that project exports from India can be boosted to at
least USD 25 billion 56 per annum within a time frame of five to seven years. The main markets for
India’s project exports are expected to be in Africa, Middle-East countries, SAARC and ASEAN countries,
Central Asian Republics in CIS. These are the emerging markets which have high infrastructure needs.
255. Such projects, while helping the recipient countries to bridge their infrastructure gaps also help
India’s exports of goods and services. They help to build a long term relationship of the target country
with India and its project export entities. India’s entry into high value project exports will also impart
high brand visibility in the target countries. Besides the specific brand visibility, India’s general branding
84
Global Project Opportunities: June’ 2015
is also promoted as a country which can export hi-tech and high value projects. Such branding and
visibility facilitates easier acceptance of other products exported by India to such markets. Long term
business relationships also develop in supplies of replaceable components and spare parts, annual
maintenance and servicing contracts, upgradation of project technology, etc. Repeat orders become
easier, as the countries gain experience and confidence in Indian project export entities. They also exhibit
India’s cost competitiveness while at the same time maintaining internationally comparable quality
standards.
256. Project exports can be boosted through opening of special lines of credit and also provision of cheap
lines of credit through buyer credit mechanism. Concessional lines of credit are generally extended
through the Ministry of External Affairs, where diplomatic considerations also matter for offering such
lines of credit. The Buyers’ Credit Scheme being offered by the Department of Commerce through Exim
Bank of India aims at enhancing Indian exports to select countries.
257. Many Indian companies in both the private and public sectors have, over the years, developed
considerable expertise in executing project export contracts in diverse areas such as railway sector,
power sector, roads and bridges, drinking water supply schemes, irrigation projects, construction of oil
and gas pipelines, construction of electricity grids, hydro power projects, airport construction etc.
258. For boosting project exports, the Department of Commerce has set up the National Export
Insurance Account (NEIA). Essentially, the Account helps to cover project export risks which cannot be
fully covered by the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC).
259. In tandem with EXIM Bank of India and ECGC, the NEIA is also now being used to selectively offer a
Buyers’ Credit Cover for project exports. This enables EXIM Bank to offer co-financing for project exports
from India to target countries in South Asia, Africa, CIS and others.
260. While buyers credit cover has brought in major encouragement for project exports, the cost of
capital remains very high in India. An effort was made towards setting up an interest equalisation scheme
under the Market Access Initiative scheme of the Department of Commerce but it did not materialise due
to financial resource constraints. Since project export is recognized as an important element of this
policy, renewed efforts will be made to seek allocation of resources for such a scheme.”
