3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One of the largest road networks in the world India had the one of the largest road networks in the world, spanning over a total of 5.6 million kms. Over 64.5 per cent of all goods in the country are transported through roads, while, 90 per cent of the total passenger traffic uses road network to commute Rising budget allocation of road sector During FY18-19, Government of India allocated Rs 71,000 crore (US$ billion) for development of national highways across the country. Growing private sector involvement As on September 2017, 312 projects were recommended for development by the Public Private Partnership Appraisal Committee (PPPAC) Investment of US$ 31 billion is expected in PPP by 2020 for national highways Rapid growth in national highways The Government of India plans to increase the length of National Highways from to 200,000 kms. In FY17-18, national highways of 9,829 kms in length were constructed with 20 per cent growth from 8,231 in FY Overseas Investment for infrastructure development CPPIB (Canada Pension Plan Investment Board) plans to invest US$ 322 million for infrastructural development in India. The Government has received public sector undertakings from countries like Malaysia and Japan for funding the upcoming highway projects in India annuity model 60 per cent of the investment is borne by the private investors 40 per cent by NHAI in 5 equal instalments. In November 2016, Union Government and Asian Development Bank signed US$ 500 million loan agreement to build the longest bridge across river Ganga, in Bihar. The bridge is expected to be ready by In April 2017, the Government of India agreed to build world-class road infrastructure in the Jaffna region in Sri Lanka. The 3 major stretches being built are Mannar-to-Vavuniya, Dambulla-to-Tricomalee and Jaffna-to-Mannar. Source: MoRTH Annual Report , NHAI, Make in India, Aranca Research 3

18 PRIVATE PLAYERS GAINING TRACTION IN THE ROADS SECTOR Until 2005, the road construction market was dominated by public sector companies With the emergence of private players over the last decade, the road construction market has become fragmented and competitive; players bidding for projects also vary in terms of size Major projects: Mumbai Pune BOT Project, Pune Nashik BOT Project, Bharuch Surat BOT Project, Thane Bhiwandi by-pass 4 Lane Project, Thane Ghodbunder BOT Project, Ahmedabad Baroda NH- 8, 6 laning of Agra - Etawah bypass Major projects: North Karnataka Expressway, West Gujarat Expressway, Noida Toll Bridge, Ahmedabad - Mehsana Toll Road, East Coast Road, Kotakatta Kurnool Road Project, East Coast Road, Hazaribagh Ranchi Expressway Ltd, Karnataka Toll Bridges Major private sector players Major projects: NH6 Dhankuni to Kharagpur, Sambalpur Baragarh, NH4 Belgaum Dharwad, NH-3 Pimpalgaon Nashik Gonde Road (JV with L&T), Jaora Nayagaon Road, Chennai Outer Ring Road, Modhul Nippani Road, Indore Edalabad Road, Wainganga Bridge, Ahmednagar Aurangabad Road Major projects: Bandra Worli Sea Link, Badarpur Elevated Highway Project, Delhi Faridabad Elevated Expressway, Breakwater construction for new port at Ennore, Chennai, New Railway Line Project from Jiribam - Tupul Major projects: Tuni Ankapalli Highway, Tambaram Tindivanam Highway, Ambala Chandigarh Highway Notes: NH National Highway Source: Aranca Research 18

19 NOTABLE TRENDS IN THE ROAD SECTOR Demand for urban transport The government s policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon for the infrastructure industry with a large number of private players entering the business through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model The type of PPP models used in road projects are Build Operate Transfer (BOT) toll and BOT annuity During the next 5 years, investment through PPP is expected to be US$ 31 billion Electronic toll collection NHAI is taking revolutionary steps, like facilitating Online sale of FASTags and offline sale through Common Services Centre (CSC) near toll plazas, to ensure availability of FASTags for Electronic Toll Collection. Paytm Payments Bank has launched Paytm FASTag to enable electronic toll-fee collection on highways across the country. International Investment Infrastructure is the key to supporting double-digit GDP growth in India during the medium to long term Cumulative FDI inflows into the construction development sector, including roads and highways, stood at US$ billion till December Infrastructure initiatives Programmes like Bharat Nirman, JNNURM are designed to pursue nation wide rural connectivity, linking all the unconnected villages with fair weather roads Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has signed an MOU with IL&FS Transportation Networks for construction of km bi-directional Zojila tunnel which will be India s longest road tunnel and the longest bi-directional tunnel in Asia.

20 Porter s Five Forces Framework Analysis Threat of Substitutes Threat of substitutes is low Even if government wants to renovate rather than going for reconstruction, it is highly likely to go to the same players Bargaining Power of Suppliers Bargaining power of suppliers is very low Several small players exist in the suppliers section that weaken their power Competitive Rivalry Competitive rivalry between big players is quite intense as far as winning projects is concerned due to high price sensitivity Few large players have the expertise for undertaking bigger projects; hence, competition is higher in case of large infrastructural projects Bargaining Power of Buyers Bargaining power is strong due to robust price sensitivity and low costs Buyers are government organisations or major agencies that enhance their buying power Positive Impact Neutral Impact Negative Impact Threat of New Entrants With liberalisation, rules have been eased for the entry Big players block the entry of new players in the roads segment, especially in large projects 20

21 STRATEGIES ADOPTED

22 STRATEGIES ADOPTED Diversification Most players are now opting for inorganic growth routes and are diversifying into other businesses (IIML, a subsidiary of IL&FS is into private equity business with over US$ 3.2 billion under management) Many players are entering into technical partnerships with foreign players to match their R&D levels with MNCs Training of labour Companies are hiring and training staff to reduce the shortage of skilled manpower and focusing on policies to retain labour Firms plan to increase minimum wages in the construction sector as well as women participation Companies are partnering with technical institutes and colleges such as CSTI (L&T and Govt. of Odisha) Ministry will give grant of US$ 152,765 to private companies and state road transport corporations willing to set up or upgrade driver training schools Promotion of R&D Companies are ramping up investment for better and cost effective ways of road construction Stepping up R&D to develop better roads in areas which suffer from congestion, delays and accidents, according to world standards As of November 2016, three memorandum of understanding (MOUs) were signed between National Green Highways Mission (NGHM) and ITC Ltd, Yes Bank Ltd and Teri for setting up a Centre for Innovations in Green Pathways in order to enhance research and innovations in the field. Geographical expansion Indian companies are increasing their footprints abroad, thus tapping outside market IL&FS won a road contract worth US$ million in Botswana, through its subsidiary Elsamex SA 22
