| The Company |
From pipelines
to ports, from industrial projects to intelligent
buildings, and on to canals, townships, highways,
bridges and breakwaters- Essar Projects Ltd. (EPL)
has a rich and varied track record as a premier
EPC company.
As one of India's leading engineering, procurement
and construction (EPC) contractors, we have designed
and executed projects worth over US$ 3 bn (Rs.14,000
crore) and are currently implementing projects
worth US$ 2.5 bn (Rs.11,625 crore). We skilfully
bring together hundreds of engineers and tens
of thousands of workers to complete our projects,
always maintaining an uncompromising focus on
quality and safety. Setting high benchmarks for
ourselves, we have consistently broken new ground
and achieved a long list of firsts. For example,
we built the world's largest gas-based sponge
iron plant, were the first Indian company to set
up an independent power plant, pioneered the laying
of offshore oil and gas pipelines in India and
built India's first and longest island breakwater.

| A history of expertise |
| We honed our skills
as the turnkey EPC company for most of the Essar
Group’s world-class projects and supporting infrastructure,
constructing most of the group’s current asset base
of US$ 10 bn (Rs. 400 billion). That includes a
5.5 MTPA sponge iron plant, a 4.6 MTPA steel mill
and a 1200 MW power plant at Hazira, a 8 MTPA pelletisation
plant in Visakhapatnam, a cold rolling mill in Indonesia
and a 10.5 MTPA oil refinery at Vadinar, Gujarat.
Indeed, the very origin of the Essar Group was in
specialised marine construction. As we acquired
a truly wide and solid base of experience in major
areas of industrial and infrastructure construction,
we evolved from being the Group’s projects division
into Essar Projects Ltd. |
| Special strengths |
Simultaneously, we grew into a leading EPC contractor for other customers, both domestic and international. Here too, both our exposure and our expertise are wide ranging. Apart from our EPC capability in oil and gas, power and steel, marine construction is one of our special strengths. We have a unique capacity for underwater rock blasting and dredging. We also have significant skills in constructing irrigation canals, siphons and bridges. ECL has a special expertise in pipelines for oil, gas and water as the only Indian company with over 20 years of experience in cross-country, onshore and offshore pipelines, from construction to commissioning. We have laid 2,500 km of pipelines and built 150 km of the prestigious Narmada canal. We are well equipped for infrastructure construction particularly in the areas of ports, jetties and roads; we have built hundreds of kilometres of roads, including national and state highways and expressways.
Equally noteworthy are our long-term relationships
with over 20 strategic partners, including multinational
construction and engineering companies from
around the world. For example, currently a consortium
of ECL, Stroystransgaz of Russia is the EPC contractor
for the 267 KM Bailadilla-Vizag slurry pipeline.
This is world's second longest slurry pipleine. |
| Delighting customers, always |
Little wonder, then, that a long and impressive list of clients has turned to us, including most major Indian ports, the National Highway Authority of India, the Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Gas Authority of India, Hindustan Petroleum and ONGC. Our expertise is also internationally recognised, whether for the pipelines we laid in Qatar, the harbours we dredged in Sri Lanka or the cold rolling mill we built in Indonesia. What's more, we have won important contracts from government agencies through local and international competitive bidding, meeting the stringent requirements of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
Our clients can rely on our skilled, experienced
team; a large, owned equipment bank of the latest
construction equipment that is also available
for hire; and our talent for scouting the globe
to procure the best materials at competitive prices.
We offer tailor-made solutions to meet every customer
need, on a lump-sum turnkey basis or on item rate
contracts. We have the flexibility to undertake
infrastructure projects either on an EPC, build-own-transfer
or build-own-operate-transfer basis. Thus, we
are strategically placed to use our 30 years of
project management expertise to support the infrastructure
explosion in India and abroad. EPL will always
live up to the mission of achieving excellence
through world-class practices and standards in
quality, safety and project management. |
