1 Larsen &Toubro Ltd
Larsen &Toubro (L&T) remains the undisputed number one infrastructure company in India. Nobody could have summarised its role in nation building better than P Chidambaram, who called it India's only national sector company (on the company’s 70th anniversary when he was the Union Finance Minister). That was in 2007. Today, L&T continues to build on its reputation by maintaining an all round growth across the infrastructure segments where it operates. The recently concluded fiscal has been quite good for the company.
2 Punj Lloyd Group
This is the next 'No surprise' name. Punj Lloyd Group's consolidated total income for FY2010 stood at Rs10,539 crore with an EBIDTA of Rs218 crore and PAT at Rs108 crore. In a recent interview with Construction Week, Atul Punj, Chairman of the Punj Lloyd Group had said that his group aims to be amongst the top five EPC players globally by 2012.
3 Jaiprakash Associates Ltd
Jaiprakash Associates Ltd (JAL) has emerged as a leading infrastructure conglomerate having business interest in a wide range of areas like engineering & construction, cement, power, expressways, real estate and hospitality. The Group showed an impressive performance during financial year ended March 31, 2010 with total revenues of Rs10316.04 crore; up 72.52% from Rs5979.52 crore in the same period last fiscal. This is the first time that the Group has crossed the Rs10,000 crore turnover mark.
4 Lanco Infratech Limited
With operating revenue up by 36% from Rs6945.66 crore to Rs9457.21 crore in 2009-10, Lanco Infratech is today one of the fastest growing infra companies in India. It has subsidiaries and divisions across a synergistic span of verticals including construction, power, EPC, infrastructure, property development and renewables.
5 Nagarjuna Construction Company
Since crossing the Rs1 billion-turnover in 1995, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd (NCC) has kept itself busy establishing new divisions for its business. It established a property division in 1996, followed by transportation (roads, highways and bridges), water, electrical, power, irrigation, metals and oil & gas.
6 IVRCL Infrastructures & Projects Ltd
Established as a premier EPC & LSTK service provider in 1990, IVRCL Infrastructures & Projects achieved group turnover of US$1 billion in less than two decades of its operation. It has strong presence in water, transportation, building & industrial structures and power sector.
7 Simplex Infrastructures Ltd
Present in business since 1924, Simplex Infrastructures is one of the largest pure play civil construction & engineering contractors in India. It has strong presence across various construction verticals, which include industrial plants, power plants – thermal; nuclear; hydel; urban infrastructures & utilities, buildings and housing, marine, roads; railways; bridges & elevated road & rail corridors.
8 GMR Group
When GMR opened the T3 at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi recently, it was more than the opening of a terminal. It was a statement that airport infrastructure in India had attained a new level. Although the revenues for the Group have gone up a modest 14% and the net profit has declined, the Ebidta went up 27%, cash profit by 14% and free cash flow by 27.5%, signifying the efficient and profitable operations of the business.
9 Gammon India
The last financial year wasn't exactly a memorable one for Gammon India; the DMRC accidents definitely did not help. But it would be wrong to judge the company purely on these two issues.
There are many reasons why this company makes to the top ten list – one of the reasons being the fact that it is the only Indian Construction Company to have been accredited with ISO 9001 certification for all fields of civil engineering works including design
10 Hindustan Construction Company (HCC)
Even we were surprised to see Hindustan Construction Company at Number 10 - nothing to take away from the other companies at the top. One is further surprised to see that Mr Gulabchand has described the last one year as a 'slow year' in the annual report. Of course, he has added that the year 'allowed the company to focus on 'nuts and bolts' and prepare for more aggressive multi-pronged growth'.
