“While the last two-three years have had their share of challenges, we are optimistic of improved performance going forward with a stable government at the Centre. Also, we expect the new government will provide an environment conducive to growth and revive the investment climate particularly in the infrastructure and energy sectors,” Atul Punj, Chairman, Punj Lloyd Group, said while announcing the financial results for the fourth quarter and annual results of FY14.

Last month, Punj Lloyd, has received a Letter of Award for the construction of a 42-km, 2×3 lane dual carriageway project in Yemen, between Doraigh and Noubat Dokaim.

Located 60 km from the port city of Aden, the scope of work for this project comprises construction of a 210 lane-km new carriageway greenfield project. It involves excavation of over 10 million cubic metre, road paving, surface sealing, two major concrete overpass bridges, box and pipe culvert construction, and associated infrastructure work.

Winning a Rs. 1,270-crore expressway project in Yemen and another Rs. 3,254-crore buildings and infrastructure project in Libya reflects our strategy of pursuing global markets and strengthening group operations by focusing on project earnings. The group will continue to explore opportunities in other markets in an endeavour to expand global footprint,” Atul Punj noted.
