Business concentrated in north, west and central region of India
Historically, company's project portfolio has been concentrated in the north, west, and central states of India. Starting the journey in Punjab, the company has undertaken road and highway projects in various other states. Such concentration exposes the company to various tail winds such as regional slowdown in construction activities, interruptions due to adverse climate conditions, vulnerability due to political and economic laws, etc.
Opposition from the public and politicians has a negative impact
Our projects may attract criticism from local communities and special interest groups, including the general public, forest authorities, and the mining department. These groups may regard activities as having a detrimental environmental impact, resulting in a halt or delay until conflicts are resolved. Political events, such as protests and strikes, can also have a negative impact on operations, particularly when they occur close to our building sites. Local and national elections frequently strain government and community resources, causing delays in considering new bids and granting building contracts.
