FOCUS
Key UAE economic and financial indicators, including real estate prices, Purchasing Managers Index
(PMI), Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads, airport arrivals and hotel occupancy, all point to further
acceleration of economic growth regardless of tumbling oil prices.
Completion of major infrastructure projects and preparations to host the World Expo in 2020 would help
Dubai in maintaining its growth momentum while continuing fiscal expansion policy, particularly in Abu
Dhabi, augur well for the country’s overall economic outlook.
For the GCC market, the single most defining event in 2014 is undoubtedly a sharp plunge in oil price,
completely unanticipated at the beginning of the year. Oil price plunged 48 per cent on back of rising
supplies from non-Opec producers (especially shale oil), and subdued demand growth expectations.
The UAE and Qatar indices were upgraded and they now form part of MSCI Emerging Index. However,
despite this setback, IPO market in the region is on a strong revival with Saudi Arabia leading the show.
In Kuwait, the non-oil sector is expected to drive growth and much depends on the execution of
development plans. Construction sector in Kuwait is expected to outperform due to accelerated pace of
awarding contracts and as execution of the same gathers steam.
For Saudi Arabia, non-oil GDP growth is expected to be robust. Lower price realisation for oil and related
products in global markets could affect petrochemical industries; earnings in labour intensive sectors,
such as construction; and sectors in competitive industry, like telecom.
For Qatar, non-hydrocarbon sector GDP continues to be robust and is expected to grow in 2015,
construction activities and infrastructure development being the key drivers.

Real estate investment company Qatari Diar has been given a go-ahead to continue with a US$2.16
billion construction project to help boost tourism in Egypt.
The Egyptian ministry of defence approved the implementation of the project. The country requires
companies investing in tourism related projects to seek a go ahead from the ministry.
According to Tourism Development Authority (TDA) head Serag El-Din, the project will involve
construction of hotels, shopping malls and residential homes such as villas, townhouses and apartments.
The project was earlier proposed by TDA and will be implemented in the North and South Sinai.
Two other projects that will boost tourism are also being undertaken by Qatari Diar; the Nile Corniche
development along the Nile and Diar’s Sharm El-Sheikh project at the shores of Red Sea. Nile Corniche
entails construction of 3 towers; one being 31-storeys tall at 136m and set to become Egypt’s tallest
building. It will have a five star hotel (St Regis), offices and apartments.
The three storey buildings will be close to each other and arranged in a u-shape. Diar’s Sharm El-Sheikh

Kenya agrees on a 2.5 per cent stake in the planned Uganda oil refinery
Jan 27, 2015
Kenya has agreed to acquire 2.5 per cent of the upcoming Uganda oil refinery, in a deal estimated to cost
the exchequer US$ 61m. Uganda, which has 6.5 billion barrels in reserves, hopes to complete the first
phase of construction in 2018.
Energy and Petroleum PS Joseph Njoroge confirmed the news on Monday last week, pointing out that
they had decided to consider the offer to enhance and support the growth and relationship of East Africa
as a bloc.
“In line with the spirit of regional incorporation we committed to support each other in key infrastructure
projects and we will support the Ugandan one. We shall take up a minimal 2.5 per cent stake in the
refinery project,” Mr Njoroge explained.
The production of Uganda oil refinery is anticipated to reach 60,000 barrels of oil per day and much of
the projected crude output is expected to be exported via a pipeline through Kenya, which is yet to be
built.
The oil refinery will be located in Kabaale Township, near Uganda’s largest oil fields in the Kaiso-Tonya.
The lead investor for the project will be selected by next month as two consortia – one led by South
Korea’s SK Energy Co and another led by Russia’s RT-Global Resources and which are participating in the
bid for construction – were to submit final bids last week.
PwC reports growth in construction industry in South Africa Infrastru News
Jan 27, 2015
PwC, a professional network service provider has released a report that indicates the good growth South
Africa’s construction industry is facing at the moment, making it even more balanced in order to support
infrastructure development in the country. These results were based on financial results of the country’s
top 10 construction companies on the Johannesburg stock exchange (JSE).
According to PwC’s partner Andries Rossouw, the country has been facing financial constraints in the last
three years, but this has not been a hindrance as individual companies are putting more commitments to
public infrastructure.
29
Global Project Opportunities: February’2015
The report releases indicates that institutions in the public construction sector recorded a capital
expenditure increase of 11.7 percent since 2011. The same firms reported a total expenditure of
US$18bn. According to the new report, new construction work shot to 3.5 percent, while plant,
machinery and equipment purchases rose by 55 percent. There has also been an increase in salaries for
individuals working in the construction sector, unlike other sectors.
The report comes a few months after South Africa government promised to roll out infrastructure projects
faster, among them its own envisioned US$847bn infrastructure programme that had reported delays
earlier on.
The report also reveals common risks such as health, safety, environment sustainability, law compliance,
growth and expansion, with movement of foreign exchange affecting the construction sector by impacting
on project timelines.
According to Rossouw, the construction industry in South Africa is currently facing skill development and
equity in employment as the major challenges.

and signature bonuses worth US$ 431.8 to drill additional 228 wells since November 2013.
Political instability in 2011 saw the country experience a fall in foreign investments and the country is
encouraging foreign energy firms to invest in local hydrocarbon sector. The government also paid US$2.1
billion as part of US$3 billion dues owed to foreign oil companies in 2014 to firms such as BG Group,
Dana Gas and Circle Oil as part of $3 billion dues owed to foreign oil companies in 2014.
Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) CEO Eng. Khaled Abdel Baidea and Egyptian General
Petroleum Corporation( EGPC) Eng. Tariq Al- Mulla signed the agreements with HBS and Total.
The Egyptian government is trying to source for LNP from various sources to cater for the growing
demand as the local consumption has exceeded production in recent years.

Jan 26, 2015
The city of Tshwane is working towards construction of new houses and resurrecting its power generation
capacity to meet increasing demand.
The city has come up with a US $0.78bn housing development programme that will see construction of
122 000 homes in 12 months. 37000 of these houses will be built by the South African Government,
45000 by the City management, while the private sector investors will construct 40000 houses. In order
to cater for the housing construction, the city has planned to sell assets, including property and unused
land to raise money.
The city, which has also been facing power shortages, is planning on reducing this problem by reviving
Rooiwal and Pretoria west coal fired power stations. These power generation plants will help curb demand
as a result of the planned housing developments.
According to the Mayor of Tshwane Kgosientso Ramokgopa, the two power generation plants are only
operating at 15 percent. Proper management will be appointed for the two plants by November, to
ensure that surplus power is fed into the National electricity grid.
In addition to this, the council, which will be looking into ways of reducing the demand for electricity and
increase regional production, has approved construction of a new building worth US $0.11bn for its
meetings.
South Africa to upgrade N3 highway stretch
Jan 26, 2015
South African National Road Agency Limited (Sanral) has said that the N3 highway stretch between
Durban and Johannesburg will be upgraded in the middle of this year 2015. The contract for this project
is prized to be around US$35.05m and would take a construction period of 2 years.
According to the Eastern Region design and construction manager for Sanral, Ravi Ronny, works on this
new project would include additional lanes between Tweedie and Cedara interchanges located North of
Pietermaritzburg. This will be 11km long.
Ronny also noted that the new contract will entail the planning, design, construction and financing of the
road project, not forgetting its maintenance. This stretch is important in that it’s South Africa’s principal
freight and logistics corridor.
Increased use by passengers and heavy vehicles on this road led to the decision of upgrading it
something, and this would help minimize the impact that heavy traffic might have caused in the years to
come.
The N3 highway stretch links the Port of Durban and Gauteng, which are South Africa’s Economic hubs.

Dhaka expects two high-powered delegations from the UAE early next year.
Dubai — The UAE is one of the major foreign investors in Bangladesh with nearly $2.9 billion investment,
informed Mohammed Mahtabur Rahman, who is the founder and president of the Bangladesh Business
Council (BBC) in Dubai.
“We expect more investment flow from the UAE to Bangladesh after the successful visit of Bangladeshi
Prime Minister Shaikh Hasina during the last week of October 2014,” Mahtabur Rahman said.
Dhaka expects two high-powered delegations from the UAE early next year to scrutinise investment
prospects in Bangladesh for the construction of a third seaport in Patuakhali and the 285km long marine
drive project, Bangladesh local media reported quoting foreign minister AH Mahmood Ali. “We are now in
discussion with DP World and Mubadala for Paira Bandar and Marine Drive projects,” Ali said.
Dubai-based DP World has a portfolio of more than 65 marine terminals across six continents, including
new developments underway in India, Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
Abu Dhabi-based Mubadala is an investment and development company supporting the diversification of
the UAE by investing in key social infrastructure projects and creating globally integrated industry sectors
in the UAE capital.

Global Project Opportunities: February’2015
Focused on investment and development across multiple sectors, Mubadala’s portfolio is valued at $60.8
billion.
Mahtabur Rahman informed that bilateral trade between the UAE and Bangladesh has increased
significantly during the last couple of years and reached nearly $1 billion, or Dh3.6 billion, in 2012-13
that also include $251.25 million Bangladeshi exports. Bangladesh imports crude oil and other petroleum
products from the UAE and exports mainly clothing, textiles, vegetables, fish and steel products. Both the
countries have ample opportunities for further boost trade relations and both ways investments.
The Dubai Chamber issued the BBC licence in 2011, he informed, adding that the Council was formed
with the aim of promoting and developing commercial and cultural relations between the UAE and
Bangladesh. “So we are ready to facilitate investors from both sides to help them establish business
relations in either country,” he added.
“If investors go directly without consulting the Council here and our Chamber in Bangladesh, there is a lot
of hassle and some time they might waste money and time,” he explained.
Earlier this year, the Bangladeshi Ambassador to the UAE, Mohammed Imran, announced that the
government had decided to grant visa on arrival to UAE nationals and the ambassador hoped the
development would improve bilateral trade and investment. There are about 700,000 NRBs in the UAE.

DI, which has a paid-up capital of Dh3.8 billion, launched a number of real estate projects last year to
benefit from strong rebound in the property sector. It developments include the Mirdif Hills project — a
Dh2.5 billion mixed-use residential, commercial and retail development in Dubai; Dh400 million Fujairah
Business Centre project being developed by its subsidiary Al Taif Investment, among others.
Over 67 per cent of Dubai Investment’s asset base is in the real estate sector and is currently worth over
Dh8.2 billion — making it one of the biggest real estateplayers in the UAE.
The company also has one of the largest land banks across the UAE, totaling nearly 30 million square feet
gross floor area.
“2014 has been a great year for Dubai Investments’ business growth. The real estate industry has always
been a key driving force for the UAE’s economy and the unprecedented demand in the sector benefited
the company immensely, given our wide presence across the entire spectrum of the industry,” Kalban
said.
“We are confident that the current demand in the real estate sector will continue in the foreseeable future
and we are geared to cater to the required capacity,” he added.
Kalban had previously said that Dubai Investments is planning to invest Dh3.65 billion in the UAE’s local
real estate market this year.
“The investment firm is expected to announce four new projects in 2015 and details will be made public
in due course of time,” the sources said, adding that projects worth Dh6.35 billion are under
consideration in Dubai Investment Park — a close proximity to World expo 2020 site.
Shares in Dubai Investments rose 3.48 per cent at Dh2.38 in the broader positive market, which climbed
2.74 per cent on Sunday.

Non-oil sector to spur UAE growth in 2015

Vibrant non-oil sector to spur UAE growth in 2015 as tourism, hospitality, aviation, banking,

upward
trends,
writes

An increasing momentum across all non-oil sectors catapulted the UAE economy into a higher growth
trajectory in 2014 in spite of the fallouts of the regional political turbulence and tumbling oil prices on its
fiscal and external current account positions.
The Arab world’s second largest economy cruised to a better-than-expected 4.8 per cent growth in 2014
on the back of stronger performance by the country’s vibrant sectors including tourism and hospitality,
trade and services, aviation, banking and finance, manufacturing and real estate.
The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, which revised upward its growth projections for the UAE, Qatar
and Saudi Arabia, forecast that irrespective of oil price dip, the UAE’s economy is on track to row a
further 4.5 per cent in 2015, underpinned by its accelerated non-oil diversification, increased
government spending and rising foreign direct investment flow.
The UAE Minister of Economy Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri said the impressive growth was possible
thanks to the federal government’s policies based on economic diversification and sustainable all-round
development. As a result, the non-oil sectors now account for 69 per cent of the UAE’s GDP with oil
accounting for the remaining third as the government continues its efforts to diversify away from oil and
rely more on non-oil income. The minister predicted the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the UAE to
reach $419 billion in 2014, an exponential 236-fold surge in the past 43 years since the establishment of
the Federation from just $1.77 billion in 1971.
The Institute of International Finance, or IIF, predicted that the UAE economy is poised to touch $435
billion in 2016, up from $419 billion in 2014 and $405 billion in 2015 under a predicted baseline oil price
scenario of $78 and $85 per barrel, respectively, in 2015 and 2016.
Looking ahead past 2014, Al Mansouri said the economy would continue to grow at a rate of between
four and five per cent over the next seven years.
“With this good performance, the general budget is expected to see a surplus of nine per cent of the
GDP, double the figure of 2012. Inflation rates have been estimated at between two and three per cent
in 2014, thanks to the flexibility of the UAE’s economy and the measures being taken by the government
to curb price hikes,” said the minister. Al Mansouri also estimated that the UAE’s bulk commodity exports
including oil to have grown by 5.8 per cent to $381 billion in 2014, compared with $354 billion in 2013.
Another sector propelling the economic growth of the country is a vibrant SME segment. The latest data
of UAE’s Ministry of Economy shows that SMEs contribute an estimated 40 to 46 per cent of nominal GDP
41
Global Project Opportunities: February’2015
in Dubai, and more than 60 per cent of the UAE’s GDP. They also host the majority of employment
opportunities in the country and provide 86 per cent of all private sector employment. A recent study by
Dun and Bradstreet revealed that SMEs represent over 90 per cent of the total number of companies in
the UAE and account for more than 85 per cent of jobs in the private sector.
Most economists agree with the IMF observation that spurred by a momentum in the non-oil economy,
the UAE’s growth in the coming years would benefit from a number of megaprojects and Dubai’s
successful bid for the Expo 2020.
Barclays analyst Alia Moubayed observed that the UAE stood out as the best equipped to face oil price
headwinds and is the most capable of adapting to the structural changes in the global oil markets thanks
to its remarkable progress in diversification of export and fiscal revenue bases.
The IIF argued that the UAE could achieve such an impressive growth because it has been the beneficiary
of private capital flows from other Middle East and North Africa countries following the political unrest
that hit the Arab world from 2011. In addition, there has been an influx of wealth from emerging markets
like India, Russia, and China. Foreign direct inflows (FDI) more than doubled to $12 billion (three per
cent of GDP) while portfolio flows from equity exchange-traded funds and mutual funds to the UAE
increased five-fold from 2011 to 2013.
While the capital flows to domestic banks rose sharply, foreign banks’ claims on non-bank UAE sectors
have been recovering gradually. The restructured and deleveraged balance sheets are helping many
government-related entities (GREs) to raise funds through syndicated loans and bond issuance, allowing
them to benefit from the low interest-rate environment.
IIF argues that a relatively low fiscal and external current account break-even price of oil and ample
foreign assets will enable the UAE to press ahead with an estimated $700 billion worth of infrastructure
projects expected to come on stream over the next 15 years, spurring credit growth in the banking
sector. With the economic growth set to hover between 4.8 per cent and 5.1 per cent in the next two
years, the UAE will post a current account balance of $29.9 billion and $30.2 billion respectively in 2015
and 2016, accounting for 7.4 per cent and 6.9 per cent of the GDP.
In such a scenario, the Emirates will record a fiscal balance of 1.8 per cent and 2.8 per cent of the GDP
respectively in 2015 and 2016, said Dr Garbis Iradian, Deputy Director, IIF. The coming years will also
see the country’s public foreign assets swelling from $ 573 billion in 2014 to $ 615 billion in 2015 and $
652 billion in 2016. The government debt will register an increase to 22.1 per cent and 23.3 per cent of
the GDP respectively in 2015 and 2016.
“The UAE looks resilient vis-á-vis the drop in oil prices, given a relatively diversified economy, excellent
infrastructure, a more transparent and better regulated banking system, political stability, and ample
foreign assets. Monetary and fiscal policies are expected to remain broadly accommodative,” IIF said.
42
Global Project Opportunities: February’2015
While real non-oil GDP growth will remain strong at 4.8 per cent in 2015 relatively low fiscal and external
current account break-even prices of oil and ample foreign assets would enable the UAE to maintain its
high level of spending on infrastructure and major projects and this will support growth in credit by
banks. About $700 billion worth of infrastructure projects are expected to be implemented over the next
15 years. Abu Dhabi is expected to continue to make significant investment in the oil and gas industries
(which represents about 20 per cent of total planned public investment). The completion of major
projects (including Dubai Metro and Al Maktoum International airport in Jebel Ali) and the preparations to
host the World Expo 2020 should keep growth in Dubai around five per cent in the coming years,
according to estimates.
Tourism is fast growing as a vital pillar of the economy on the back of major infrastructure initiatives
undertaken by the government. The total contribution of the travel and tourism sector to the UAE’s GDP
is estimated to be Dh122 billion or 8.5 per cent in 2014, a 4.5 per cent year-on-year increase compared
to 2013, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
The exponential growth in hotel rooms, growing number of tourist attractions, shopping malls, increased
connectivity for local and international airlines and a wide array of leisure attractions are underpinning
the boom. The total overall contribution of the sector is expected to grow by 3.2 per cent to Dh167.4
billion by 2024, 8.5 per cent of GDP.
According to analysts, tourist influx is set to grow over the coming 5-10 years. Conservative estimates
put the international tourist arrivals to reach 39.9 million by 2024, which will generate a tourist spending
of Dh105.4 billion. The upbeat outlook emerges as Dubai heads towards Expo 2020 with increasing
investments being made by the private and public sector into hotels and the Expo 2020 site in Dubai
World Central. Abu Dhabi is also investing in building its tourism profile, which includes the construction
of the Louvre and the Guggenheim on Saadiyat Island.
Massive-scale expansion of international airports in the UAE, including the world’s largest — Al Maktoum
International with a capacity for 160 million annual passengers — and the fast pace of growth being
recorded by the country’s four industry-leading airlines — Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia and flydubai —
have already been driving a relentless surge in the number of international visitors and holidaymakers to
the UAE. As a result, almost all hotels across the UAE have been reporting impressive occupancy rates as
well as steady growth in average daily rate, or ADR.
The overall economic impact of both aviation and tourism related activities in Dubai is on track to rise to
$53.1 billion in 2020 and hit $88.1 billion by 2030 and will support 1,194,700 jobs, Oxford Economics
said.
By 2020, as Dubai expects to welcome over 20 million visitors for Expo 2020, it is estimated that
Emirates will fly 70 million passengers, and the airline and its partners are already progressing plans for
the right infrastructure to be in place to support and capitalise on passenger growth. By 2020, Dubai
International is estimated to receive 126.5 million passengers, almost 30 per cent higher than its original
2010 assessments.
43
Global Project Opportunities: February’2015
In its latest forecast, the International Air Transport Association said that the number of passengers
travelling to and from the UAE was expected to increase at an average annual pace of 5.6 per cent until
2034, a higher rate than the regional average. The UAE will add 29.2 million passengers over the next
four years at a compound annual growth rate of 6.6 per cent as total global air passenger numbers are
expected to rise to 3.91 billion by 2017.

2014 named record year for skyscraper construction
Dubai's Marina 101 which, at 426.5m, will becone Dubai's second tallest building.
The Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat has said that 2014 was the “tallest ever” for skyscraper
construction globally, with a record 97 buildings standing 200m tall or more completed during the year.
That beat 2011’s 81 tower completions, and the number, the CTBUH said, includes 11 supertall towers
(300m and over).
According to CTBUH records, there are now 935 buildings globally that bust through the 200m ceiling to
qualify as skyscrapers with Dubai's Burj Khalifa still the tallest in the world.
Most tall towers completed in 2014 were based in Asia. Of the 97 completed buildings, 74 were centred
on the Asian continent, and 58 of those in China alone, Construction Week Online reported.

The Market
Though Kenya is by itself a big importer of products, equipment and machinery, it is also the largest reexporter to neighbouring East & Central African countries that includes Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda,
Somalia, Burundi, Chad, Rwanda, South Sudan, Congo & Mozambique. Situated on the East coast of
Africa, Kenya is the gateway to the neighbouring landlocked countries. Its port city Mombasa, is the
busiest sea port in Africa and is now building a $300 million second container terminal at Mombasa to
handle increased trade within the region, driven by a sharp growth in construction, vast infrastructure
development and an emerging middle class.

According to the World Bank, infrastructure is the key to Africa’s economic turnaround and will play an
even greater role in the continent’s continued development. Kenya, in particular, is making giant strides
in infrastructure and urbanization, with demarcated economic zones, commercial and residential
buildings, and resorts for tourists. The country’s infrastructure and construction industry value is
expected to double between 2015 and 2020. There has already been a spike in the demand for building

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
76
Global Project Opportunities: February’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.
