    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Thank you, Dhirendra. Good evening ladies and gentlemen.

    First I will take you through the Q3 performance of the company and after that we can have a question-and-answer

    session. And I request to read not more than 25 questions can be taken because of positive time.

    As far as the third quarter is concerned the company has achieved a turnover of 1,338 crores as against 1,187 crores, in

    the third quarter of the previous year, they were resulting the growth of about 13%.

    The EBITDA in the third quarter is 127.6 crores as against 118 in the previous year, and the PAT is 40.43 crores as

    against 47.86 crores in the previous year. And the PAT margin is 3.0%, the EBITDA margin is 9.5% for the quarter.

    As far as the nine months period is concerned on a standalone basis, the company has reported a turnover of 3,623

    crores, as against 3,255 in the nine months of previous year. EBITDA for 356.71 crores, as against 330 crores of

    EBITDA in the previous year, and the PAT of 127.79 crores as against 129.99 crores in the previous year.

    The PAT margin for the nine months period is 3.52%, the EBITDA margin for the nine months period is 9.8%. On aconsolidated basis the company has reported a top-line of 1,599 crores, that is almost 1,600 crores as against 1,465

    crores in the third quarter of the previous year.

    The EBITDA margin for the third quarter is 10.9% current year, as compared to 10.5% in the third quarter of the

    previous year. The PAT margin is 3.25 for the current quarter and 3.80 for the third quarter of last year.

    Nine month period, the turnover booked the 4,516 crores as against 4,097 crores in the nine months of last year. The

    EBITDA is 517 crores and the PAT is 171.82 crores. The EBITDA margin is 11.46, the PAT margin is 3.80.

    As far as order book is concerned, in the third quarter we have bagged order for 2,741 crores. And in the nine month of

    the current year, we bagged order for 6,236 crores, whereby the order book at the end of the third quarter is 17,269

    crores.

    I will give you the breakup for the order book across various segments. Buildings division has an order book of 6,032

    crores, that is 35%; the transportation division has an order book of 897 crores, that is 5%; water and environment

    2,228 crores, that is 13%; electrical division 4.7 crores, that is 3%; irrigation 1,792 crores, that is 10%; metal 564

    crores, that is 3%; power 1,678 crores, that is 10%; international 2,559, that is 15%. The total order book is 17,268

    crores.

    Other divisions, in these other divisions comprising of oil and gas, mining and railways 1,071 crores that is 6%, which

    is the order book of the company as of the end of the third quarter. As far as a turnovers are concerned, we had a

    combined turnover 4,338 crores, including the international subsidiaries. And out of these buildings have contributed

    1,211 crores, that is 28%; transportation has contributed 297 crores, that is 7%; water and environment 879 crores, that

    is 20%; electrical 380 crores, that is 9%; irrigation 188 crores, that is 4%; metals 250 crores, that is 6%; power 1.64

    crores, 3%; international 866 crores, that is 20%.

    And the other divisions comprising of oil and gas, mining and railways put together 143 crores, that is 3%. The total

    orders executed that is the construction contracts executed in the quarter is 4,338 crores. Our for the first nine monthsof the year, it's 4,338 crores.

    Based on the performance of the company, we all know in the first nine months of the current financial year, and

    looking to guidance that we have given at the beginning of the year, that is about 7,300 crores of top-line on a

    consolidated basis and 5,750 crores of our top-line on a standalone basis, we are of the opinion that the targeted

    turnovers may not be achieved. There should be a slippage of turnover up to the extent of about 9 to 10% in the top-line

    for the current year as a whole.

    The reasons for the slippage I shall give you, adverse weather conditions in the third quarter have affected the turnover

    of the company substantially. We had extended monsoon, second quarter monsoon was also quite severe. And this has

    impacted the expected turnover by about 70 crores in the third quarter and 173 crores for the first nine months of the

    current year.

    Delay in release of payments. This has impacted by the clients. This has impacted the third quarter revenues by about

    85 crores and with the nine month revenues by about 327 crores. Delay in clearance of works on the land acquisition by

    the clients, in the third quarter it has impacted the turnover by about 40 crores and for the nine months it has impacted

    turnover by about 150 crores.

    So the shortfall in turnover as far as the third quarter is concerned is about 195 crores on account of this three reasons,

    and for the nine month period it is as much as 650 crores. This is more or less explains why there is going to be a

    shortfall in the turnover of the company for the year as a whole.

    As far as the low profit margins are concerned the interest outgoing have increased substantially on account of two

    factors; one is the quantum of debt, that is appearing in the books of the company has gone up. We have got the debt of

    about 2,319 crores at the end of the third quarter, that means the debt has gone up by 850 crores during the last nine

    months.

    And also the interest rates, which were around 78% in the first quarter of the current financial year have shot up beyond

    10% in the third quarter, that's why the interest outgoing is also substantially gone up. And coupled with the low profits

    are on account of losses in the road projects and also delay in payments by clients, which have impacted the cash

    receipt of the company. And all-in-all about 22 crores of profits have been impacted in the third quarter.

    As far as international subsidiaries are concerned, Nagarjuna Construction Company LLC has done a turnover of 43

    crores in the third quarter that is the Dubai subsidiary, and also NCC International that is Muscat subsidiary 170.56

    crores, and the NCC Urban Infrastructure that is our real estate subsidiary, about 31.8 crores of turnover and a net profit

    of 0.8 crores.

    The international subsidiaries are on course as far as the turnovers are concerned, they are likely to achieve the

    budgeted turnover for the year as a whole, but the shortfall is coming primarily from the domestic business.

    The debt position of the company has gone up to 2,319 crores, as compared to 1,532 crores at the beginning of the year

    And added to this the interest burden, the interest rates at which we are able to procure the data also has gone up

    substantially during last nine months. And because of that the interest burden has gone up and that has impacted the net

    profit margins. We have reported a net profit margin of only 3.02%, as compared to the 4.03% in the third quarter of

    the previous year.

    That is as far as the company's performance and our presentation is concerned. Now I request the participants to ask

    your questions.

    Thank you very much, sir. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. The firstquestion is from Hardik Shah from Religare. Please go ahead.

    Hardik ShahWe have acquired 55% stake in Nelcast. So, what sort of compensation we have paid for? Second question is during

    this quarter, our average tax rate, I mean which is roughly at 41%. So, I presume that we have made a excess provision

    due to owning to this IT rate. So, what quantum of liability which you are accessing at this moment.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah. As far as the Nelcast is concerned. It is acquired jointly by NCC and Gayatri Projects, our share being 55%.

    Hardik Shah

    Right.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    The balance 24% was owned by Gayatri Projects.

    Hardik Shah

    Right.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    So we have created a consideration of about 270 crores for the company fully. Out of that our share of commitment is

    about 150 crores.

    Hardik Shah

    Okay.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    About the tax provision, in this quarter we have made an additional provision of 4 crores towards this tax liability.

    Hardik Shah

    Okay. Sir, what could be our.. I mean how much we are assessing as our total liability due to this IT raid, I mean any

    update on that front?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    The proceedings still are going on verification, but we are expecting about around 15 crores of the liability on account

    of that tax verification.

    Hardik Shah

    Okay, okay. And sir one more question. What composition of our order book on which we have already startedexecutions. So I mean out of our roughly 17,000 crores odd of order book, what component of order book which we

    have already commenced work on that?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    See normally what happens is once an order is given, it takes us two to three months to start the work on the project,

    mobilization, manpower, machinery and all that. We are resuming to nearly one month delay whatever orders we

    received in the month of December, they will be launched in the month of February, that's how it is.

    Hardik Shah

    Right, and sir I mean any, I mean what component of orders, which are running delay? Which are running I meanfacing significant delays due to maybe whatever reason, I mean financial closure, delay in financial closure or maybe

    lifting of MoEF, I mean environmental clearance?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Road projects are delayed, so primarily because of land acquisition delays. Not only on a cash contract basis, the

    construction contracts that we are still executing in the road sector, but also our BOT projects where our subsidiaries

    have given the EPC Contract to the parent company, there also impacted mainly because there was delay in acquiring

    land by National Highway Authority of India Limited.

    Hardik ShahOkay sir. Now what is the status, I mean how much --

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    That I will explain.

    Hardik Shah

    Thank you.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    Now... yeah out of 17,000 crores odd order now we have, no order is pending for want of major clearances like your

    MoEF clearances or financial closure. Those orders are not there. So what are orders now we have, they have the

    clearances except the order what we received in the December or orders are in the committing stage. The orders what

    we received in December, as we said they will commence in February or March.

    Page 6 of 41

    Okay. And sir, as far I mean newspaper articles regarding to that road project which we are, we are L1 as of now that

    1,500 odd crores of project, we are hearing that Madhucon Projects has filed litigation against this bidding process or I

    mean is there any I mean sort of, which we are hearing right now, so I mean any color on that front?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah. See what has happened is the Madhucon bid was not accepted by NHAI on technical grounds?

    Hardik Shah

    Right.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    So, there was some deficiency in the some power of attorney submitted by them.

    Hardik Shah

    Right.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Whatever is the reason, their bid was not opening... the price bid was not opened. And without their bid being opened

    we have become L1 and they are invited as a group to take the project actually. We have declared that we are the

    successful builders though the letter of intent is yet to be given to us.

    In the meantime as you rightly said Madhucon has gone to High Court and they made a representation that their bid

    was lower than our bid and that bid should be opened and the project should be given to Madhucon because they have

    quoted lesser than our quote.

    Hardik Shah

    Yeah.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    So we are now the High Court... see NIT institution they have got certain principals based on procedures. If anybody is

    disqualified on technical grounds they do not open the price bid of that particular bidder.

    Hardik Shah

    Right.

    So that is the stand we are taking. Now the matter has gone to Supreme Court, ultimately whatever the Judicial

    Authorities have decide based on that they give a direction to NHAI, and based on that they will be finalizing the

    matter.

    In our opinion this will be going to go for rebidding. Actually the legal position is if their bid is opened they will get the

    project. If their bid is not opened we will get the project. But we understand that most probably it may go for rebidding

    that is a low ground situation.

    Hardik Shah

    No sir, that is there. Just two more questions. Sir, given the fact that what we have done in nine months, how do you

    end the order inflow that has been there, how do you see FY12 revenue growth planning out, and in terms of margins

    do you see any pressure from current levels?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, FinanceYou see the FY12, we normally as I work out it inaugurate business plan that process has started. We submit to the

    Board before 31 March, 2011 and get the Board approval and with this plan approved, we give the guidance for the

    next financial year to the stock exchanges.

    So, I cannot comment how much of the turnover will be done in this FY12. But based on the order book that we have

    got and also looking to the various opportunities that are available for the front-line companies like us, we are confident

    that top-line growth of 22 to 25% is definitely possible in the next financial year also.

    Hardik Shah

    Sir on power project, the financial closure and EPC project awards, I mean when do you see those things happening?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah. We already moved with the lenders that we literally consorting for the funding the power project is hardly see

    that is Rural Electrification Corporation, they have already sanctioned their share of the debt and the PFC also have

    sanctioned. Together RBC and BSE put together 3,200 crores of debt is already sanctioned and the sanctioned at

    provinces.

    We declared total debt of 5,285 cores, which means there is a gap of about 2,000 crores. Further we have approached to

    the State Bank of India and they already gave us inter-ritual sanction and it is going to be converted in to a regular

    sanction by the end of this month. And the balance 1,000 cores we are talking to ICICI Bank and they also promised to

    give us a sanction by end of February. So, we are targeting financial closures for this project by March 2011.

    Hardik Shah

    One last question from my side. One is on the road project. Is that included in the order inflows of 2,700 crores?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Absolutely not. See the road project cannot be included in the order book mainly because in order to form an STV

    which will become the owner of the project. It was finally consist an agreement with NHAI, it will go for financial

    closure. At that time they will file in the EPC. And when the EPC is awarded to the parent company that will find a

    reflection in the road to deliver the parent company. So, that order does not include in our order book at all.

    Hardik Shah

    And sir, power projects what kind of order inflow can you expect... can we expect in the next few months.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Power project order is likely to be finalized in the next two months and most probably EPC will be done by the NCC,

    with the power division of NCC. The order price will be about 4,000 to 4,500 crores.

    Sunil Kumar

    Yeah, hi. Sir, wanted to understand the composition of Rs. 2,700 crore of orders which you received in this quarter?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, FinanceMost of them are building projects and also we bagged irrigation project were bagged and some water related projects

    were received.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    Electrical also.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Electrical, some projects we have received.

    Sunil Kumar

    Okay. So like you clarified in the previous question that wood order is not included. So similarly power project order

    will also be finalized after the financial closure only?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, yeah. And EPC is awarded to NCC, that will come into the order book of NCC.

    Okay. And it's 2,700 crores of orders, in all the orders you have the financial closure and --

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    That is incorrect. So, from the power division that is power entrepreneurs, we got another two orders aggregating to

    3,000 crores, for which financial closure it will not happen, but they awarded the works to us and notice period also

    given to us. But we are waiting for the financial closure. In those two orders, we have not including the order book

    position. Once their financial closure is happen, then they will reflect in the order book.

    Sunil Kumar

    Sorry sir, Rs. 3,000 crore, two orders from this power division?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    No. No from power division, outsiders.

    Okay.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Orders have been received, but they are not included in the order book of the company as of now, mainly because those

    particular project companies are yet to achieve financial closure.

    Sunil Kumar

    Okay, okay.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    So what we are trying to say is, we are very carefully observing the position of the orders and only when the orders are

    executable, we take it into the order book.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah.

    Sunil Kumar

    Okay. And sir these orders which you've received in the quarter, what kind of margins you are expecting I mean the

    See our first aim is to see that we achieve financial closure. At the HU financial closure we require about 35% of equity

    to be brought into the table, which means our share of equity requirement for the financial closure at the FPV level will

    be about 250 to 300 crores. Out of which, 150 crores we already invested. So the balance 100 crore we invest from ourinternal sources in the next two to three months in HU financial closure. And later on over a period of three years, three

    to 3.5 years the balance equity has to come into the project.

    That we are having some long-term plans like equity dilution at our holding company that is NCC Infra level and

    various other plans are there. And based on that we will be providing the equity as and when required. And you also to

    keep in mind that NCC is getting the EPC Contract of the order of about 4,500 crores or so which means nearly 450

    crores of profit is also going to be earned by us. Now on the EPC Contract. So whatever profit we generate on the EPC,

    we are planning to invest in the equity.

    Analyst

    Okay. And sir the last question is more on the balance sheet side you mentioned your debt number sir, could we have

    your working capital details sir please as of today? The debtors inventory, creditors numbers and stuff like that?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, it will be. The debt collection period is about 117 days. It has gone a little worst than what it was at the end of

    second quarter. We are tightly stressed to improve the debt collection period. The working capital cycle also is getting

    to distorted. As far as the inventory is concerned, you are asking about the inventory?

    So sir, when we say that we will put in another additional 150 crores by March end from our internal sources.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    Yes.

    Analyst

    And you have cash of only 100 crores as of now, any plans of how we are going to do that?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    See when we have done nine months of our turnover we booked profit of 127 crores plus the depreciation of yearly

    50-60 crores. So, internal generation is taking place. So those funds will be invested in the equity of the power project.

    Analyst

    But sir, that number would have reflected in your cash balance?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah.

    Analyst

    So that's what I am saying, if you have generated about 100 crores till date and you need 150 crores by the year-end,

    right, additional 150 crores to be invested, then where will the money come from?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    No, in internally as of this date to we have put into the various division this working capital to gear up their progresses

    and some of the clients with huge amounts were held up and we expect some collections in the fourth quarter. So, there

    were the collections without collections and also the working capital loan sanction with bank or without any difficulty,

    that another 150 crores is manageable.

    Analyst

    Sir regarding this Nelcast project, are we also looking at Chinese players to supply BTG components?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yes.

    Analyst

    One here is that in this current budget maybe that import duties will be imposed on capital goods. In that case, we

    would probably miss the opportunity since our financial closure will be over only by March?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    The EPC contract we are finalizing in this month itself. As on date, there is no import duty on Chinese equipment. That

    is a stand we are also taking, but we will review the situation. If there is any import duties reported in the financial

    build-up up for 2011, we will examine that.

    Analyst

    And, sir the coal linkage, have we taken approval from the ministry and as well as MoEF?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, yeah. Ministry has already submitted and the letter has gone to Coal India for supplying coal at our new location

    at Krishnapatnam, so that is not a problem at all.

    MoEF, actually the earlier we have given the clearance with 100% imported coals, now we have more on application

    for modifying the MoEF clearance with 70% domestic coal, that is also expected by the time we declare financialclosure.

    Analyst

    Okay. And the other question is on Dubai project. We said that by December, we will completing six stories. So what is

    the development there?

    process. So now, we are targeting by March to April 2011, the six floors of tower one will be completed.

    Analyst

    What are the funding details for that project sir so far?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    We originally invested about 60 crores, then recently we pumped about 50 crores for that project. So, our exposure is

    about 110 crores. We have taken a loan of about 90 crores from ICICI Bank quarterly, and we have brought customer

    advances of maybe 180 crores.

    AnalystOkay. And sir, could you give me consolidated debt levels?

    Are you talking about any of the BOP companies in this regard due to supply equipments?

    Madan Gopal

    Yeah, yeah, we are talking to Chinese companies. In fact, we have almost finalized it for our Sompeta power project

    the equipment supplier. The same supplier will now supply to Nelcast.

    Madan Gopal

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    In approximately 50%.

    Sachin Relekar

    Okay. And secondly sir you mentioned that now the most of the orders are not pending for any of the clearances, I

    mean there are factors which impacted your revenue basically for nine months. Are there still some pending issues like

    do you see now execution going forward will be much smoother as compared to what expect for the regulatory issues

    which is not in anybody's control there?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    In fact, the fourth quarter it should be good. We have targeting the top-line for nearly 2,000 crores. Many of the issues

    are behind us, and definitely the weather issue is not a problem now.

    Good evening, sir.

    Just wanted to ask, can you throw some light on why being the slow pace of construction, that is implementation of

    NHDP projects in general, not only of your company but in general, what's the scenario?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    What projects the MABP?

    Analyst

    NHDP.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    What is that stand?

    Analyst

    National Highway Development Program.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, FinanceNHDP. See actually there were some slowdown as far as NHAI is concerned in the award of contracts in the last six to

    seven months because of their internal problem. And the NHDP in general suffered mainly because of delays in land

    acquisition. We also suffered and the other developers are also suffering. So, that is the only reason I can tell you.

    Analyst

    Okay. And sir in terms of awarding, I suppose that till Jan, we have already awarded some 4,500 kilometers. By the end

    of '10-'11, how much do you expect would be awarded in this program?

    Good afternoon.

    Ashish Shah

    Sir, I just wanted to dwell a little bit more on the receivables that we are saying that we get daily, you are seeing some

    delay. So, who would be these clients if you would like to say and in how much time do you expect to receive the

    money?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Over the negation projects in NPA, there has been delay in payment of our bills beyond the six months. Its in our own

    trade month, that's all.

    Ashish ShahAnd how much of that be sir in contract?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Pardon?

    Ashish Shah

    If you could quantify the same sir?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Nearly about 130 crores.

    Ashish Shah

    Okay.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    And also some projects in our water environment division during the year some payment delay were there. Our

    electrical projects, some delays further in U.P. and elsewhere. Altogether, the debt collection period has gone up to thenearly 117 days. Our aim is to see that we bring it down to below 100 days.

    Ashish Shah

    Sir, what the visibility on these receivables coming down in the near future? I mean do you expect that some concrete

    developments have taken place, because of which in the next one month or so, these receivables could come down or

    this could drag on for long time?

    You see, our clients are mostly government agencies. So, much depends on their ability to bring the money to the tableand pay me with contractors. And we will carefully examine the situation that about the client and the ability to pay our

    bills, then only to we'll take up the projects. Definitely some clients were not able to bring the funds to the table, more

    of the alternative than to stop the work or go slow down as far as that particular project is concerned, and that is what is

    happening.

    Ashish Shah

    And sir, in case of your own road projects, you are saying that some receivables are slow to come by even in gross

    projects. So, what is the reason really, because --

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, FinanceRoad project, we have not said the receivables. What we've said is our delay in land acquisition by NHAI, and because

    of that the PEs will suffer, that is the clients have suffered. And on account of that, the EPC contractors also have

    suffered.

    Ashish Shah

    Okay. But there is no issue of delayed receivables from...

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, delayed receivables is not there.

    Ashish Shah

    It's only delayed execution?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, yeah. See most of your projects, we declared financial closure, which means the funds are available on cap. As

    soon as we complete a quarter, we can submit a running bill. They take care of the payment, but drawing the required

    debts from the institution. So, there are not much delays as far as payment is concerned.

    Pankaj Chopra

    Yeah. Thank you for taking my question. Sir, my question is more relating to the environment. Can you tell me... canyou tell us how is the situation changing in various states in terms of being more favorable for your execution in

    various segments and various states? And what is the cause... it will be in the... I can follow with my second question

    after this.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No. The macro environment looks quite good as far as our sector is concerned. There is a recognition not only by

    Central Government, but also the State Government to see that the economic progress is sustained. The biggest

    bottleneck is physical infrastructure, and so they are taking a lot of measures to see that physical infrastructure is

    brought up to international standards. So, that is the one biggest positive as far our business is concerned.

    Now, the number of states are taking initiatives. Again it varies from some state-to-state and sector-to-sector. I may not

    be able to tell all those things in this conference call. But, for example, AP we believe that it has reached the level ofsaturation as far as the irrigation projects are concerned. Now we are concentrating on neighboring states like Madhya

    Pradesh, Orissa and also Bihar, Gujarat and Maharashtra where were we actually are bad from irrigation projects.

    Likewise, we look for opportunities wherever they are available, be it in irrigation, be in and whatever the environment

    be it in electrical projects, we are ready to go. We are an all India company and we are taking projects on all India

    basis.

    Pankaj Chopra

    Sir, I appreciate your answer and maybe this answer would have been same may be a year ago, because the long-term

    story, what everyone talks about in this sense. My question was more specific about the recent timeframe. I believe and

    this is the understanding we get by reading, talking to other people in the same business that there has been log jam ofdecision taking in the bureaucracy on various segments and sectors. This was now for various reasons of corruption et

    cetera, have you foreseen that and is that... do you think its becoming a hindrance in for your execution?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    The issues like corruption and all I will not like speak in this forum.

    Pankaj Chopra

    No sir and it's not worth. It's delaying decision-making at the bureaucratic level.

    Some delays are there, and you should know how to manage the situation and target wise and project wise and credit

    wise. That kind of capabilities you should be able to generate into the organization, then only you can progress as a

    Earnings of land acquisition will be provided by National Highway Authority of India. If there is a disconnect betweenNSA on one side and the state government on the other side, the land acquisition process in that particular state gets

    delayed. But in the process the contractors have been suffering or the developer is suffering, that is a point I make.

    Pankaj Chopra

    don't seem to be giving us the same opinion.

    Good evening, sir. Just a quick question. In the wake of the increase in raw material prices, I mean are we seeing a cost

    or basically a drop in our margins or is it something we see pressure on our margins?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    Actually the drop in margins in the third quarter have been because the non-achievement of the client turnover.

    Vibhor Singhal

    Correct sir. But going forward, are we... these are margin pressures or maybe there was also some news that there was

    some shortage of labor also in AP?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    As far as the order book is concerned so far whatever we have, we are not forcing any heavy pressure on the margins.

    But what nowadays we understand from the tender provision is there is a competition in the tender bidding level.

    Vibhor Singhal

    Okay.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    So when competition is there is there, naturally 1 or 2, 3% the normally they Are going to try to reduce while quoting

    the tenders.

    Vibhor Singhal

    Okay. Fair enough. Sir, the... just the last thing, in the order book, I mean how much of the share of the contracts would

    be fixed price contract if we have any at all?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    Yes. Nearly 80% of the contracts are this escalation norms.

    Vibhor SinghalEscalation norms. Okay.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    And 20% we all designed here.

    Thank you. The next question is from Shailesh Kanani from Angel Broking. Please go ahead.

    Shailesh Kanani

    Thanks for taking my question, sir. I have couple of questions, one on the revenue front. Can you give me the breakup

    of the third quarter revenue segment wise?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Third quarter revenues?

    Shailesh KananiYeah.

    On a standalone basis.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, right now we don't have. We've got only nine months breakup.

    Shailesh Kanani

    Okay. Sir, the reason I am asking this question is I believe second quarter dues from AP government very marginal,

    like 25-30 crores and this quarter has gone to 320 crores. And the contribution from the irrigation segment to the 2Q

    revenues were also marginal. So, have the book been started at AP aggressively on the irrigation front? Can you throw

    some light on that?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and AccountsWhere from the figure, but 320 crores.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Not 320, that is... the over dues in AP irrigation projects around 131 crores at the end of third quarter. See, it's the

    dynamic figure. It keeps changing from quarter-to-quarter. We cannot draw any conclusions.

    In fact, we have created most of our bills up to July 2010 and that's why there was a slippage in outstanding bills to be

    paid at the end of the second quarter, whereas now third quarter it has mounted again.

    Shailesh KananiSo, it's 320 crores, right?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, no, 130 crores.

    Shailesh Kanani

    130 crores?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, yeah.

    Shailesh Kanani

    Okay, okay. So nearly 100 crores which I was wondering. Okay, sir. Sir, one more question on the order book front.

    Sir, have you seen any order cancellations in this quarter?

    Page 38 of 41

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, there are --

    Shailesh Kanani

    Because if I do simple maths, there will be difference around 250 crores in the order inflow and considering the order

    book what we had in last quarter. There are no cancellations as such, right?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, that we cannot draw. You see, what happens is some small orders we keep receiving, but we are not giving press

    release. So, you will not be able to conclude conclusively what is the actual position of order book based on the press

    release given by us from time-to-time.

    Shailesh Kanani

    Okay. So, there no cancellation as such?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    There are no cancellations.

    Shailesh Kanani

    Thanks a lot, sir. That's all I have.

    Operator

    Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will take one last question from Atul Rastogi from Daiwa Capital. Please go

    ahead.

    Atul Rastogi

    Yeah. Good evening, sir. Thanks for taking my question. One was on your revenue, you said revenue forecast for next

    year, considering that your order book now is almost 40, 38% buildings, do you think the pace of execution should

    significantly pick up and you could actually beat your focus, especially if you get some of the power points and above?

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Absolutely. Building segment is our backbone and it is contributing more than 35% of the order book and more than

    48% of the turnover at the end of nine months, and this trend is likely to continue. It is one of our oldest divisions and

    luckily because of the general growth in the economy, there is a tremendous demand for quality builders in the building

    segment and we are able to capture good business with better margins. So, that is likely to continue for sometime.

    Page 39 of 41

    Atul Rastogi

    But has your I mean average time for the order book, has it come down, average execution cycle because it has moved,the order book has moved towards buildings, I think?

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and Accounts

    No. In buildings also, we have the execution schedule, 15 months to maximum 24 months.

    Atul Rastogi

    Okay.

    R. S. Raju, Senior Vice President, Finance and AccountsSo, these whatever orders which I could report in the normal turnover and there won't be any reduction in reporting the

    revenues because of they are having more orders from the building segment.

    In fact, now we are in the safe zone. Earlier, we have more road projects and there so many high intensives and so

    many non-accruals from the government, thereby we couldn't issued as planned. But in case of billing projects and we

    are not anticipating any such type of finances, therefore whatever normal they have planned, they are now able to

    achieve in the quarter wise or year wise.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    You see the book-to-bill ratio remains more or less the same, but we are planning these power orders in the fourth

    quarter and once they come, the book-to-ratio will change substantially because those orders will be for a longer period36 months, 39 months like that, that picture will emerge only in April 2011.

    Atul Rastogi

    Okay. Sir, just one last questions on the power project. Sir, total project costs 7, 000 crores and EPC is around

    4000-4,500.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah.

    Atul Rastogi

    So, the difference is entirely IDC and --

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    No, some amount is...

    Land cost.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Land cost is there and some items may not be in our scope as EPC and that's why the EPC is looking a little less.

    Legally, EPC should be around 5,000 crores. Those figures will... correct numbers we will be able to give maybe by the

    end of this month.

    Atul Rastogi

    Okay. But land has been totally acquired, I thought.

    Y. D. Murthy, Executive Vice President, Finance

    Yeah, land is acquired.

    Atul Rastogi
