INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

DOMESTIC DEMAND

Planners & Governments since 1995 have emphasized on the need for substantial spending in infrastructure sector to sustain the GDP and economic growth. For achieving the projected GDP growth exceeding 8% plus from the year 2007 onwards, the Government has accepted the need to expand infrastructure sector. Infrastructure sector affords substantial growth prospects & demand for companies engaged in construction, services and supply to this vital sector of economy. Artefact plays a pivotal role as an Infrastructure Derivative software Company providing a vital link between plans, policies and its implementation.

The total infrastructure sector spending in next 5 years is estimated to be USD$ 374 Bns.

Infrastructure development is a National Priority. It has approval of Policy makers, planners and economists.

FOCUS ON INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT: Large infrastructure development programs, include : National Highways development Outlay alone exceeds Rs. 1996 Bn for next 5 years. A substantial part of the development program is proposed on Privatisation basis enhances the

scope of services for Private sector.

• Non-metro Airports modernization is under implementation, with committed budget

exceeding Rs 400 billions. Metro airports have undertaken upon privatisation basis.

• Urban development & renewal is planned with investment of Rs. 1740 billions. Opportunity

for services for township & urban development emerges for projects including SEZ’s ,

Township Development.

The normal Bid requirements stipulate approx. 7 to10 years of past successful track record of

completed projects, which makes it very difficult for any new entrants to bid and compete in

near future. It creates a niche market for few established service providers being early Cucles in

infrastructure sector with a large space to grow.

Besides major contracts awarded to service providers and consultants fall under public domain

and have a 3 to 4 years time frame of execution, the revenue visibility of consultants is much



higher stable and definite. The very nature of time based consultancy contracts make most of

these contracts immune to time and cost overruns of the project.

Infrastructure sector has growth prospects which sustain irrespective of economic cycles. OVERSEAS DEMAND:

Besides Domestic sector growth, due to Cost effectiveness and High Technical skills, India is

soon emerging as Global Engineering Design and knowledge Outsourcing (KPO) Hub. Indian

Technical Services for Infrastructure development especially in developed economies and Gulf

is fast emerging as potential market exceeding USD $300 Bns P.a. The boom for Infrastructure

Services (Engineering, Architectural and other services) has just begun. It is a beginning of an

endless opportunity.

Understanding the growth potential, Artefact makes efforts to position itself as a key and

dominant player for infrastructure services.

Artefact is strategically positioned to exploit this potential. Artefact strategizes exploitation of a

large barrier of past successful track record of completed projects, to cater to the emerging

demands.

Artefact endeavours to achieve Organic growth by expanding sectorial services, geographic

spread and client spreads in focus sector verticals of Highways, Airports, Townships Urban

Development, Enhanced leadership in Privatization and O&M Project Services.
