FOCUS
Through 2017, worldwide sales of construction aggregates are forecast to expand more than five percent
per year to 53 billion metric tons. Construction aggregates demand is projected to rebound sharply in
North America and Western Europe as construction activity picks up. Eastern Europe is also expected to
register faster growth through 2017.
However, the global market will continue to be driven by above-average growth in the large Asia/Pacific
and Africa/Mideast regions. The non building market for construction aggregates is expected to outpace
the building segment through 2017, as governments in both developed and industrializing countries
invest heavily in public infrastructures.
Between 2012 and 2017, more than 50 percent of all additional construction aggregates demand
generated will be attributable to China, the world's leading consumer of these products. Massive gains in
building and nonbuilding construction activity will stimulate product demand in China. However, as the
Chinese market matures, growth is expected to decelerate noticeably from the pace of the last decade.
Aggregates consumption in India, the Asia/Pacific region's second largest market, will expand at a faster
pace through 2017.
The construction aggregates markets of Eastern Europe, North America, and Western Europe are
projected to expand between three and five percent per annum through 2017. As these regions recover
from financial and fiscal crises, residential, commercial, and public works construction activity will
rebound, generating additional demand for aggregates. North America and Eastern Europe will record
somewhat faster growth than Western Europe during the 2012-2017 period. In terms of major countries,
Spain, Russia, the United States, and Italy are expected to perform particularly well, as there is a
considerable amount of pent-up demand in these markets.
The crushed stone segment is expected to account for one-half of all new product demand generated
between 2012 and 2017. Crushed stone will continue to benefit from its numerous performance features,
such as durability and strength. Crushed stone is also projected to gain a larger share of the aggregates
market due to the depletion of sand and gravel reserves in many countries around the world, including
China, India, Japan, and Norway. However, crushed stone demand will be moderated by the increasing
availability of manufactured sand, and alternative and recycled aggregates.
Worldwide sales of construction aggregates for hydraulic concrete applications are expected to grow
slightly faster than the global average annual rate through 2017. Three-fifths of all new aggregates
demand between 2012 and 2017 will be attributable to the hydraulic concrete segment. The development
of new hydraulic concrete formulations -- which will expand the range of uses for concrete -- is expected
to spur gains in the segment. Because of advances in new road construction and existing road
improvement and repair, global sales of aggregates for road base and coverings, and asphaltic concrete
applications are expected to accelerate through 2017.

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
5
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2014
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.
SCREENING COMMITTEE
In accordance with the guidelines of Memorandum PEM (Project Export Manual) of the Reserve Bank of
India, the Working Group considers proposals pertaining to civil construction contracts only from the

Turkish firm wins $109m road contract in Oman
26 January 2014, By Jeff Florian
Sezai Turkes-Feyzi Akkaya to refurbish coastal road
Oman’s Transport and Communications Ministry has awarded a RO41.9m ($109m) contract to Turkey’s
Sezai Turkes-Feyzi Akkaya (STFA) for a contract covering the improvement of the Khasab to Tibat coastal
road.
The ministry had received nine bids for the contract, with STFA submitting the lowest bid. The deadline
for submission of bids was 14 January 2013.
Khasab is the capital city of Musandam, an enclave of Oman separated from the rest of the sultanate by
the UAE. The road from Khasab runs along the peninsula to the town of Tibat, toward the border with Ras
al-Khaimah.
Before the coastal road was built, access to the area was almost impossible by land. The peninsula is now
becoming an attractive tourist destination, particularly for those living in the UAE.
Oman has recently issued a flurry of large road contracts as it looks to bolster its economy by developing
more modern and integrated transport infrastructure. The government has earmarked $8bn for the
construction of 12,704 km of road projects as land transport continues to be the main means of getting
around the sultanate.

Six Construct Abu Dhabi wins Maryah Island bridges deal
22 January 2014, By Colin Foreman
Project involves building four bridges
The local/Belgian Six Construct Abu Dhabi has been awarded a AED330m ($90m) contract for the
construction of bridges connecting Maryah Island with Abu Dhabi Island and Reem Island.
The four bridges, which are basic crossings known as bridges 3, 4,10 and 11, were tendered last year.
They have been planned by the project client, state-owned Mubadala Development Company, for a
number of years. In 2009, they were tendered as bridges that would become architectural icons for the
city. Those tenders were then cancelled and the scheme stalled.
Six Construct is already working on Maryah Island, which used to be known as Sowwah Island. In 2010,
the firm was, in joint venture with South Korea’s Samsung C&T, awarded the estimated AED4.7bn deal to
build Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

Dubai-based Arabtec Construction has won a AED5.7bn ($1.55bn) contract for construction of Jordan’s
first themed tourist destination.
The Red Sea Astrarium will be an integrated entertainment, hospitality, and leisure resort located in
Aqaba. Spanning 184 acres, the development will offer four international luxury hotels offering over
2,000 rooms. These include a themed boutique hotel, a 5 star hotel, a family leisure hotel, and a hotel

cinema, Adventure Centre, Theatre, Water park and a signature Star Trek immersive experience, created
in collaboration with Paramount Parks & Resorts and CBS Consumer Products.
“We are pleased to be involved in this important project which will further boost the Jordanian economy
and enhance the country’s attraction as a tourist destination,” says Hasan Abdullah Ismaik, managing
director and chief executive officer of Arabtec Holding. “We are already actively involved in two major
projects in Jordan and look forward to expanding our presence there to take advantage of Jordan’s huge
potential.”
The UK’s Arup will perform infrastructure design and engineering works on the project, while US-based
architectural firm Callison has been engaged to work with locally headquartered Rubicon Group Holding
and its team, including Paramount Parks & Resorts and CBS Consumer Products, to masterplan and
create a world class destination resort.
Construction work on the project is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2014, with the third quarter
of 2017 targeted as the soft opening date. A ground-breaking ceremony for the development was held
last May.
Arabtec is currently working on two projects in Jordan: the St. Regis Amman hotel and phase one of
Saraya Aqaba development. The latter project includes four international hotels managed by Jumeirah
International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide as well as Souk Saraya, a beach club, offices, a
convention centre and Wild Wadi water park, in addition to a part of the residential units, infrastructure,
utility buildings and staff accommodation.
The contract for the Red Sea Astrarium pushes Arabtec’s backlog to nearly AED40bn, the company says.

The deal was approved on 25 December. A contract is now expected to be signed with the client, stateupstream operator Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).
Heisco submitted the lowest bid for the deal in mid-October, beating rival proposals from eight other
firms.
It also bid for a separate deal to build flowlines in the southeast of Kuwait, although its price came in
third place to the local Mechanical Engineering & Contracting Company, and Combined Group Contracting

Dubai prepares to appoint advisers for metro extensions
16 December 2013, By Colin Foreman
Role covers extensions to the Red and Green lines
Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) is expected to appoint an external adviser to explore its
options for funding the extensions of the Red and Green lines of the city’s metro in early 2014.
At least eight firms are understood to be competing for the role. They are:








EY (formerly Ernst & Young) (UK)/Atkins (UK)
KPMG (Netherlands)
Deloitte (US)/Arup (UK)
PwC (UK)
Jones Lang LaSalle (US)
Colliers International (US)
CBRE (US)
Booz & Co (US)
The appointed adviser will look at the possibility of raising funding from banks and other private sources
to finance the project, and whether the extensions could be structured as a public-private partnership
(PPP). It will also be asked to look at the possibility of using the PPP model to develop commercial space
around three existing stations on the metro. Funds raised from this would then be used to help finance
the metro line extensions.

Another extension to the Red Line is also being planned by the RTA as it begins to prepare for Dubai Expo
in 2020. Two alignments are understood to be under consideration. They are 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
not currently on the metro network. That option 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.
Another alignment being considered is an extension to the Red Line beyond Jebel Ali that will head inland
to the Expo site. Although cheaper to deliver, 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.
The existing Dubai Metro was financed directly by the government, but as a result of the collapse of the
emirate’s economy in 2009, it was left unable to pay contractors on the project. As a result, it reached a
deal with the contractors to pay them in installments up to 2017. The financial crisis also prompted the
government to focus on reducing its budget deficit and curtailing direct spending on infrastructure.
The RTA is also seeking private-sector funding for a real estate development around the Union Square
metro station in Deira.
The project is intended to be developed as a PPP between the RTA and a private developer. A
procurement process to select a suitable developer is due to start next year.
Referred to as the Union Oasis, the scheme is modelled as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD), a
concept that aims to maximise the area surrounding transport hubs, with an aim of increasing usage of
the nearby trains, metros and buses.
Union station is one of the busiest stations on the Dubai Metro network, as it is where the Red and Green
rail lines cross. It is also close to Dubai Creek and has connections with water taxis and local buses. The
development of the area surrounding the station is expected to encourage more people to use public
transport, as well as regenerate the Deira area, which lies at the heart of old Dubai.
EY is the financial adviser on the project and has conducted a feasibility study into the development,
while Atkins has acted as technical adviser and has drawn up the initial architectural designs.

Arabtec to build a mixed-use development on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi
Arabtec Holding has announced that it has won a AED2.59bn ($706m) contract to build a mixed-use
development on Abu Dhabi’s Reem Island.
The project, which was awarded to its subsidiary Arabtec Construction, will house a 61-storey residential
tower, featuring 613 furnished apartments and 15-storey C-shaped tower that will host a five-star hotel
offering 400 guest rooms and 200 serviced apartments. The two towers will be connected by a ballroom
and retail block extending 4,600 square metres in area.
Construction work on the project, designed by the Architecture and Planning Group, is scheduled to begin
in the first quarter of 2014 and will take 36 months to complete.
With the new contract, Arabtec said its backlog in 2013 crossed AED33bn, a record for the company.
Arabtec has more than $8bn-worth of ongoing projects on its books, including construction of a branch of
France’s Louvre museum in Abu Dhabi.
In December, Abu Dhabi General Services (Musanada) awarded a $1.2bn contract to a consortium of
Arabtec and Spain’s Constructora San Jose to build the New Al-Ain hospital.
In November, Arabtec won a $490m contract for the construction of a 77-storey mixed-use tower on
Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai. The tower will be 369 metres tall and will comprise more than 22,000
square metres of office space on 18 floors, and 908 sq m of retail area. It will also include a 350-room
hotel and 83 serviced apartments, as well as 180 apartments.

DP World awards Jebel Ali port construction deal
14 January 2014, By Colin Foreman
Contract involves building access to the new Terminal 4
Local port operator DP World has awarded Bam International of the Netherlands the estimated AED370m
($100m) contract to design and build the causeway, bridge and quay wall serving the future Terminal 4
at Dubai’s Jebel Ali port.
The scope of the contract includes the construction of 400 metres of quay wall. It also includes a 420metre bridge and causeway to link the new terminal being built on an island of reclaimed land to the
main port.
Two other firms were competing for the contract. They were the local/Belgian Belhasa Six Construct and
India’s Afcons.
The deal is the first major contract to be awarded at Jebel Ali port since 2012, when a joint venture of
Japan’s Toa and France’s Soletanche Bachy was selected for the AED700m ($190m) contract to build
Terminal 3 at Jebel Ali port in May. The terminal will add 4 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of
capacity to the port when it is completed in 2014.
The expansion of Terminal 2 was completed in late June. Archirodon Construction won the AED150m
contract to expand the terminal in February 2012. The expansion of Terminal 2 adds a further 1 million
TEUs, and by 2014, the port will have a total capacity of 19 million TEUs.
The reclaimed island intended to be used for Terminal 4 has the potential to add a further 10 million TEUs
to the overall long-term port capacity.

Over $7bn awarded in December in the Middle East
There were two individual contract awards in December that topped $1bn. The largest was the $1.4bn
deal secured by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries for the construction of the power plant
component of Kuwait’s first private power and water scheme.
Hyundai will build the gas-fired 1,500MW, combined-cycle power plant, while Sidem will build the 107
million gallons a day (g/d) desalination component of the Al-Zour North project. The consortium is
scheduled to complete the construction of the Independent Water and Power Project (IWPP) in the fourth
quarter of 2016.
Hyundai and Sidem signed contracts with Shamal Al-Zour Al-Oula, the special purpose vehicle (SPV)
company awarded the contract to build and operate the Al-Zour project, on 12 December, the same day
the project company signed the energy conversion and water purchase agreement (ECWPA) with Kuwait’s
Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW).
The other $1bn-plus award was secured by a joint venture of UAE-based Arabtec Construction and
Spain’s Constructora San Jose. They won a $1.2bn contract from Abu Dhabi General Services (Musanada)
for the construction of the New Al-Ain hospital in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Musanada is now the largest construction client in Abu Dhabi after the emirate’s executive council
decided earlier in 2013 to make it responsible for the delivery of all capital expenditure projects outside
the oil and gas and utilities sectors. Also in December, Musanada awarded two contracts totalling $582m
for the construction of the new highway connecting Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ghantoot Transport & General
Contracting Establishment won one of the deals, while a joint venture of Tristar Engineering &
Construction and Italy’s Salini Costruttori won the other,
The only other contract valued at more than $500m was secured by Saudi Arabia’s El-Seif Engineering
Contracting Company for work on the security compounds network programme.
The $667m contract is for phase 2a and involves the development of seven security complexes across
Saudi Arabia.

Nigeria: Gombe Signs N495 Million Contract for a 250-Bed Hospital Ward
BY SEGUN AWOFADEJI, 30 JANUARY 2014
The Gombe State Government has signed a N495 million contract for the construction of a 250-bed ward
at the Snake Bite Treatment Hospital, Kaltungo Local Government area of the State. Speaking during the
contract signing ceremony which took place recently at the Ministry of Health between the State
Government and seven contractors whose bids scaled through, Commissioner for Health, Dr. Ishaya
Kennedy, stated that it was a great day not only in the history of the State but to its neighbouring states
who also have endemic problems of snake bites and rely on the hospital.
According to him, the hospital project, which would be completed in 18 months, would have 250 beds,
blood bank, surgery unit, mortuary and a fence to accord it adequate security among others. He added
that when completed, it would reduce the problem of congestion of the patients at the General Hospital,
Kaltungo.
The Commissioner said the present snake bite treatment centre was established in 1958 by the Sudan
Interior Mission and had passed through the hands of three governments since the defunct North-eastern
State.
He explained that the federal government indicated interest in the centre at a particular time but failed to
actualise this interest in practical terms. He said presently, patients receive treatment and drugs free of
charge following the State Government's desire to relief them of this burden because of the high cost of
treatment beyond the scope of the less privileged.
He said the congestion of patients at the General Hospital in Kaltungo was informed by the numerous
patients from states outside the North-east geo-political zone who patronise the snake bite centre with
little facilities. In his opening remarks, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Saidu Garba,
explained that the contract for the construction of a special hospital was given following consistent cry
received from the general hospital, Kaltungo over the congestion of the hospital by snake bite patients
calling for urgent decongestion.
Speaking on behalf of the other six contractors, Managing Director of Consultech Nigeria Limited, Madam
Dorin Wigwa, assured the state Government that they would not only abide by the terms of their contract
but would perform in a manner to set record for other contractors

wrangles tarnish the image of the county. She said leaders should focus their attention on matters of
development and youth employment. The MP said there are external forces out to give Kiambu county a
bad name. She said some leaders create discord on matters which can be solved if leaders agree to iron
out their differences.

India lags behind in airport construction
Slow pace of airport growth in India is owing to lower than expected growth in non metro and
regional airports: CAPA report
Aneesh Phadnis | Mumbai
January 30, 2014
Airport projects in India account for just 1% of $385 billion dollar worth airport development works which
are underway around the world, according to a Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation's recent report. Aviation
experts say the slow pace of airport growth in India is owing to lower than expected growth in non metro
and regional airports, financial crisis in airlines and policy inaction by government.
The CAPA report says that airport projects worth $115 billion are being planned or in progress in Asia
with China taking the lead in construction. Sixty nine regional airports are under construction in China
and will be complete by 2015. Other countries showing fast growth are Oman, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Other cities in India's neighbourhood like Dubai and Singapore which look up to India as important
source markets are also investing heavily in airports. Singapore is planning a fifth terminal for Changi
airport (fourth terminal will be complete by 2017) to increase airport capacity to 135 million passengers
per annum by mid-2020s. Dubai is executing $34 billion Dubai World Central project which will involve
construction of five runways and capacity to handle 160 million passengers a year.
According to the CAPA report airport projects valuing $4.9 billion are underway or in planning in India.
The largest project is Mumbai airport modernisation project valued over Rs 12,000 crore. CAPA has
used conversion rate at 50 to a dollar and pegged the project cost at $ 2.6 billion. The much delayed
Navi Mumbai airport pegged at $ 2.3 billion (Rs 14,000 crore) gets a mention though it still remains
mired in uncertainty.
"There is no large capital expenditure in airport projects in India. The modernisation of 35 non metro
airports by Airport Authority of India is complete. Mumbai's airport's T2 too is complete. Uncertainty
surrounds Navi Mumbai airport,'' said Kapil Kaul, CEO (South Asia) of CAPA.
"It is difficult even in best case scenario to see the second airport opening before the current Mumbai
airport reaches saturation,'' the CAPA report noted.
According to experts reasons for India lagging behind airport development are two fold - the small
nature of India's civil aviation market and financial difficulties of Indian airlines which has hindered their
growth and limited their expansion.
"For a country with 1.2 billion people the aviation market is small with just 61 million passengers last
year. Much of the market is concentrated in six cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and
Hyderabad) which account for 70% of domestic traffic. The remaining 30% traffic is shared by other 100
odd airports in the country,'' said aviation expert Hormuz Mama.
According to him the other reason hindering airport development in country is that financial condition of
airlines is pathetic and they are uncompetitive. " Today you see foreign airlines picking up traffic from
India. India is the biggest market for Emirates and second biggest for British Airways after the US,'' he
added.
Experts also point out that growth in traffic has been slower than expected in regional and tier II airports
making operations unprofitable. "An airport can not be viable until it gets a good throughput. The cost of
running an airport are high. In rural airports where Central Industrial Security Force is not deployed the
state police provides security. The security cost is high and can work out to around a crore rupees a
year,'' said a former executive director of Airport Authority of India.

January 15, 2014
Singaporean power giant Sembcorp Industries is close to sealing a deal with Hyderabad-based Nagarjuna
Construction Company (NCC) to pick up a 65 per cent in the latter's power business. The deal, pegged at
$250 million (about Rs 1,525 crore) and expected to be signed this week, will be one of the biggest in the
sector.
“It is the mother of all deals,” said a person involved with the transaction.
NCC, which entered the power-generation sector in 2007, has been working on setting up a 1,320-Mw
coal power plant at Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, which has a total project cost of Rs 7,000 crore.
While it will get 70 per cent of its coal requirement from domestic sources, the rest will have to be
imported. Mahanadi Coalfields, a subsidiary of Coal India, will supply coal to this project.
Recently, French energy major GDF Suez agreed to invest as much as $400 million (about Rs 2,440
crore) in Meenakshi Energy for a 74 per cent stake. It owns a 700-Mw power plant in the same area
where NCC’s power plant is located. In 2010, there were private equity deals in the power businesses of
GMR and GVK.
NCC owns a 55 per cent stake in the project, while the rest is owned by Gayatri Projects, another
Hyderabad-based company. Gayatri bought this stake in 2011 and is expected to remain invested in the
project. The project is expected to be commissioned early next year, and its power has already been tiedup in long-term power purchase agreements.
NCC has a turnover of about Rs 7,000 crore and an order book of Rs 20,247 crore. Apart from civil
construction work of power projects, NCC’s EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) portfolio
covers buildings and roads, electricals, urban infrastructure, railways and mining projects.
NCC did not respond to queries on the deal.
With this deal, Sembcorp will not only expand its asset portfolio in India, but also extend its power asset
base near Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. The Singaporean firm already has a 49 per cent stake in another
under-construction thermal power plant in Krishnapatnam, which has become a power hub. It owns the
plant with Gayatri Projects as its majority owner.
Sembcorp, which is backed by Temasek, the private investment arm of the Singapore government, has
an installed capacity of about 10,000 Mw across the world. The company owns and operates water and
energy utilities in West Asia, China and the UK, apart from Singapore and India.

penthouses, each priced at Rs 7 crore.
"The strategic decision of partnership with Shapoorji Pallonji has been taken to ensure that Antara
delivers a community with an un-parallelled infrastructure offering and services as its core differentiator,"
the statement said.

of 60 and its first initiative is to create residential communities that offer 'Lifestyle with Lifecare' for
senior citizens.
The company has tied up with architects and designers Perkins Eastman (New York) and Esteva & Esteva

Articles of Interest
Construction: Continuing GCC projects growth into 2014
16 January 2014, 13:52 GMT
After such a successful 2013, beating that target will be a major challenge for the GCC projects market in
the year ahead
The GCC will do well to beat the $88bn-worth of construction and infrastructure contracts it awarded
during 2013.
The total is the largest on record and was boosted significantly by one major project: Riyadh Metro. That
scheme, valued at about $22.5bn, accounted for one quarter of the GCC’s total projects contract awards
and about one half of Saudi Arabia’s $44bn.
To have such a large value of awards on one project is a freak occurrence. Normally schemes of this
magnitude are procured in phases over several years. That was the initial plan for Riyadh Metro until the
highest authorities intervened. The commonly told version of the story is that King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
al-Saud personally insisted that the project be delivered in one fell swoop, and it is that decision that
produced the bumper year for contractors in 2013.
Without another Riyadh Metro, the market will have to grow strongly if it is to make up the $22.5bn and
match last year’s total. The signs are encouraging. Governments are continuing to develop new
infrastructure projects, and with the private sector rediscovering its appetite for investment – notably in
real estate – there should be a large volume of contract awards in 2014.
The problem is that if these awards are not made, then the overall GCC market will decline this year.
Road upgrades to ease Dubai traffic
16 January 2014, 15:55 GMT
As road congestion ever-increases, Dubai is undertaking grandiose schemes for a solution
Every cloud has a silver lining, and in Dubai, the cost of the rush of confidence following the post-Expo
2020 decision is traffic.
For people living and working in the city, the congestion is a reminder of the pre-financial crisis Dubai,
when the government estimated that traffic was costing the economy $1.2bn a year.
As traffic slowly grinds to a halt again, the authorities have recognised that the transport network needs
to evolve to cope with the increasing demands that are placed on it. Over the past five years, the Roads
& Transport Authority (RTA) has completed new highways, intersections and a metro, but to date no
major new projects have been launched.
93
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2014
As Dubai’s recovery gathers pace and it prepares to host the Expo, new infrastructure will have to be
introduced to keep the city moving. The RTA is already exploring ways to tackle congestion. The most
ambitious scheme so far is the double-decking of Sheikh Zayed Road. If it goes ahead, the project will
involve building a 35-kilometre elevated section of highway running from Dubai Creek to Jebel Ali Port.
Such grandiose schemes do not come cheap, and the price tag for the elevated road will undoubtedly be
billions of dollars. Although Dubai’s economic prospects have improved greatly since 2011, the funding
issue could be a major hurdle as the government still struggles to pay for large projects directly.
Instead, the emirate will have to explore private funding options. It has already started doing so on other
schemes such as the Dubai Water Canal, also known as the Creek extension, where contractor financing
has been used, and the Al-Sufouh tram, where export credit from Europe has been tapped.
Funding should not be a problem if the RTA can demonstrate there is strong demand for these schemes.
All it needs to do is ask the people that labour home through traffic every night.

History
The origins of the country lie in a truce signed in 1820 between nine Arab sheikhdoms in the area. Called
the General Treaty of Peace, the treaty was imposed by the British, who were keen to exploit the trade
passage through the Gulf to India. As a result of the growing trade relationship with India, the British
looked to obtain dominance over the region and bring an end to piracy in the area. Fights between the
British and the powerful Qawasim, a maritime tribe based in Ras al-Khaimah and Sharjah had been
frequent and after decades of unrest, a major offensive by the UK in 1819 led to the destruction of the
Qawasim fleet and the occupation of its main ports, paving the way for the new treaty.
The first traces of hyrdrocarbons were discovered in the Bab field in 1954
By 1853, after various modifications made in response to the sheikhs’ disinclination to adhere to treaty
terms, it was renamed as the Treaty of Peace and Perpetuity, which allowed for British arbitration of
disputes among the sheikhs. The territory it concerned came to be known as the Trucial Coast, a name it
retained until 1971. The subsequent years of peace allowed its pearl industry to flourish. It is estimated
that by the turn of the 20th century, 4,500 boats manned by 30,000 men were owned and operated by
the sheikhdoms. Historian Richard Le Baron Bowen says the industry was valued at $1,500,000 at its
peak in 1896, with approximately 70,000-80,000 workers.
Arabian pearls were traded worldwide, mainly through India and Europe, but their worth began to decline
in the 1920s when Japanese cultured pearls entered the market. The industry was further hit by a fall in
demand as a result of the Great Depression, which began in 1929, and the Second World War. By 1949,
Le Baron Bowen estimates that only 530 pearl boats remained and the value of the industry had fallen to
$200,000.
Throughout the 1930s, the world’s oil exploration giants turned their attention from Iraq to the lower
Gulf. By 1939, Petroleum Development (Trucial Coast), made up of the UK’s BP, Anglo/Dutch Shell
Group, France’s Total, ExxonMobil of the US and Partex of Portugal, had signed an exploration agreement
with Abu Dhabi, drilling the first well at Ras Sadr in the northeast of the emirate in 1951. The first traces
of hydrocarbons were discovered in the Bab field in 1954. Offshore exploration had also begun under BP
subsidiary Abu Dhabi Marine Areas and in 1958 enormous quantities of oil were discovered at Umm Shaif,
which went into production in 1962. Once oil was discovered, it was necessary to determine the
boundaries of the separate sheikhdoms to prevent each ruler laying claim to his neighbour’s territory.
Eventually, the borders of the seven emirates that constitute the present-day UAE were drawn.
With the pearling industry in decline, the Trucial states began exploring other trading options. During the
1950s and 1960s, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed al-Maktoum – first as regent, then as ruler of Dubai –
95

developed shipping facilities along Dubai Creek, the first steps in establishing the emirate as a centre of
regional trade and logistics.
Just as the energy industry began to take off in the Trucial states, the British announced their withdrawal
from the area. The ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, acted fast in a bid to
strengthen the ties between the states, calling for a new federation that also included Qatar and Bahrain.
Initially, an agreement was only reached between the six rulers of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah,
Umm al-Quwain and Fujairah and on 2 December 1971 the UAE was formed. Further negotiations ensued
and Ras al-Khaimah joined the federation two months later. Qatar and Bahrain elected not to join, in part
due to the distance between the territories.
The UAE is a member of the UN, the Arab League and the GCC, a six-member economic, political and
military grouping, formed in 1981, which also includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar.
Overview
The seven emirates that make up the UAE are Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah,
Sharjah and Umm al-Quwain.
The states maintain a high level of autonomy, but the UAE as a whole is governed by the Supreme
Council of Rulers, composed of the seven emirs, who appoint a prime minister and cabinet.
HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan, the principal architect of the seven emirates, was the ruler of
Abu Dhabi and president of the UAE for over 30 years from 1971 to 2004.
He was succeeded by HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan who maintains the role today. His brother,
HH General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, is the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy
Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the UAE.
On 4 January 2006, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum became the ruler of Dubai following
the death of Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid A- Maktoum.
The members of the UAE Supreme Council also elected Sheikh Mohammed as the UAE’s vice president
and prime minister.
There is a large economic imbalance between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and the five poorer northern
emirates.
While Dubai’s activities may generate more headlines in the media, Abu Dhabi is the economic
powerhouse among the emirates, owing to the fact that it possesses the lion’s share of hydrocarbon
reserves.
Accounting for 90 per cent of UAE oil and gas production, Abu Dhabi has more than 90,000 million barrels
of recoverable crude and the world’s fifth largest deposits of natural gas.
Consequently, it remains the lead contributor to the federal budget and therefore the five northern
emirates have been heavily dependent on Abu Dhabi for upgrading their infrastructure.
Despite the diversification efforts of the country, the UAE economy remains heavily dependent on oil and
on foreign labour, especially in the private sector where roughly 90 per cent are expatriates.
An Emiratisation drive is in progress, which has been successful in some sectors, but had limited success
overall.
The government is keen to increase private sector involvement in the economy. Several independent
water and power projects (IWPPs) have already been successfully implemented.

In foreign affairs, the UAE has a longstanding territorial dispute with Iran over three Gulf islands, Abu
Moussa, Lesser Tunbs and Greater Tunbs, which Iran has occupied since 1971, but there are signs of a
thaw in relations.
People & culture
Population estimates for the UAE vary greatly. The country’s National Bureau of Statistics puts the figure
at 8.2 million, while international sources such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) say there are
about 5 million people living in the UAE. Expatriate workers make up about 80 per cent of the population.
Until the financial crisis struck, the population had been growing at about 5 per cent a year due to the
large number of expatriates arriving in the country.
Foreigners wishing to do business in the UAE [must] understand the traditional manners and customs
Arabic is the official language of the UAE, although English is more commonly spoken. Despite nationals
being a minority in the country, it is important that foreigners wishing to do business in the UAE
understand the traditional manners and customs.
When you first meet a UAE client, you should not immediately begin to discuss business matters. Usually,
tea will be served, followed by coffee. Occasionally, considerable time will be spent exchanging
courtesies. The key to successful negotiations is trust and you may be requested to return on a second,
third or even fourth occasion. Ultimately, a national’s word is considered a bond. Courtesy may inhibit a
firm no, but it is rare for a national to back down from an agreement.
The notion of wasta (power and influence) still holds strong in the UAE. That means if you have the right
connections or family background you can get things done. Personalities play a significant role in the
business place, as does understanding the subtle influences present in individual markets and
maintaining a steady physical commitment to the UAE.
The national dress is a symbol of identity worn by nearly all locals. Most men wear the white ankle-length
shirt or dishdasha and a white or sometimes red-chequered head cloth or gutra, with a black coil or agal
to hold it in place. Under this they wear a skull cap or taqia. Sheikhs also wear a cloak with gold braid.
UAE women wear a black cloak or abaya and a headscarf or shayla.
Islam is the official religion of the UAE and is widely practised. Most Emiratis are Sunni Muslims. The
Islamic holy day is Friday. Other religions are tolerated in the federation and there are several churches
and Hindu and Sikh temples.
Economy
The combination of Dubai’s exposure to international financial and real-estate markets and Abu Dhabi’s
reliance on oil and gas earnings meant that the UAE was the hardest-hit of the Gulf economies in the
global downturn of the past two years.

Having enjoyed real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of more than 5 per cent in every year from
2005 to 2008 and in excess of 8 per cent in 2005 and 2006, the UAE’s economy shrank by 0.7 per cent in
2009.
The downturn in fortunes that began in Dubai with the property market crash in 2008-09 was followed by
a collapse in confidence in the emirate’s ability to service the tens of billions of dollars in debt it had
accumulated in order to finance its building spree.
In November 2009, state-owned conglomerate Dubai World sent shockwaves through global financial
markets by announcing that it was requesting a six-month standstill on $24.9bn worth of debt
repayments.
In May this year, it emerged that Dubai Holding, another state-owned company, was also seeking to
restructure several billion dollars worth of debt.

The shock was less that the companies were struggling – market pressures were known to be squeezing
them hard – but that the state seemed reluctant to intervene.
During the economic boom of 2003 to mid-2008, banks had assumed that, in the case of default, these
companies would receive the full backing of the government and that the risk they were taking was on a
sovereign level rather than a corporate one.
This proved not to be clear-cut. Shortly before the Dubai World announcement, the Dubai government
announced that it was “under no obligation to extend support to any government-related entity (GRE).”
Since then, many GREs have come forward to declare debt problems and been left unassisted by the
state, prompting a raft of downgrades by global ratings agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.

Dubai World’s announcement on 27 October that it has secured full approval from all its creditors for its
$24.9bn debt restructuring deal has certainly injected some much-needed confidence into the economy
and marks a key milestone in the debt-laden emirate’s recovery.
Dubai’s debt woes are far from over. The property development unit of Dubai World, Limitless, is still
negotiating a debt restructuring resolution on its $1.2bn Islamic loan, following an extension in March this
year.

On 7 September, Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group (DHCOG), the main unit of Dubai Holding,
delayed for the second time repayment on a $555m loan until 30 November.
Dubai’s debt pile is estimated at $109bn according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In the next couple of years, economists expect the focus to be on deleveraging and more stringent
borrowing conditions in order to aid economic recovery. However, any recovery is likely to be a slow one.
The bursting of Dubai’s real-estate bubble saw prices drop by as much as 50 per cent, but there is still
some argument as to whether the property market has bottomed out. Certainly, real estate will continue
to be a drag on the economy for some time.
99
Global Project Opportunities: February, 2014
The downturn in its property market is encouraging Dubai to place greater focus on its key strengths: as
a global logistics centre, a tourism hub and as a retail centre.
Regional economists believe that Dubai has learnt its lessons the hard way, but that it will grow more
sustainably in the future. The 42 per cent increase in government expenditure in 2009 has been followed
by a 6 per cent spending cut for 2010.
Furthermore, of the $9.64bn in budgeted expenditure, just less than half - $4.71bn – has been
earmarked for infrastructure and transportation. This is a deliberate move aimed at providing a platform
for inward investment, but also for building the foundation for more sustainable growth in the future.
The country is also making efforts to boost its levels of transparency, something it has increasingly come
under fire for since the onset of the downturn.
On 6 May, the government issued a decree authorising the establishment of the first credit bureau,
Emirates Credit Information Company, which will help creditors make more informed decisions on
dispensing loans.
A new Federal Statistics Law and the creation of a National Bureau of Statistics will also foster a culture
of financial transparency and disclosure.
After having shrunk by 0.7 per cent in 2009, the UAE’s growth in 2010 is likely to be little better, at
0.6 per cent, according to the IMF. The recovery will be stronger in 2011, with growth reaching 3.1 per
cent.
Despite the overall poor fortunes of the UAE as a result of the downturn, Abu Dhabi has fared the storm
rather well, owing essentially to the fact that it holds most of the nation’s hydrocarbon wealth.
This has provided a significant cushion during the downturn and left it with a deep pool of liquidity. It has
used these same capital reserves to help aid the recovery process in 2008 and 2009.
Furthermore, it has played an invaluable role in keeping Dubai’s economy afloat during the downturn,
bailing its sister emirate out with $20bn.
Its real GDP is expected to grow 4.1 per cent in 2010, compared to a fall of 0.4 per cent in Dubai,
according to figures from Egyptian investment bank EFG-Hermes.
With oil currently hovering around $80 per barrel, it will have the budget surplus to forge ahead with
infrastructure development spending.
But the symbiotic relationship of the two emirates should not be underestimated and until Dubai gets
back on its feet, it is unlikely that the UAE economy as a whole will fully recover.
The UAE’s total government debt as a percentage of GDP is set to decline from 27.1 per cent this year to
24.7 per cent and further to 21.6 per cent of GDP in 2011, according to the IMF’s Regional Economic
Outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia, which was published in October 2010.

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.

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.
