Chairman's Speech (Patel Engineering Company) Year : Mar '11
Dear Shareholder,
 
 The global economy has just undergone a seismic change.  These are
 testing times for all of us.We need to learn our lessons from this
 change and strategize our operations accordingly. The first and
 foremost lesson, in the role of leadership, not just of the managing
 director of the company but of the entire top management is the
 importance of being nimble on your feet by accepting, analyzing, and
 responding to changed circumstances.  I firmly believe that you require
 prudence and conservatism in addition to being resilient and flexible
 for building a strong foundation for the future. A diversified business
 portfolio helps in managing risks.  More importantly it is about
 bullet-proofing strategies by testing them under different scenarios.
 The key is also to never lose focus on the basic things such as costs
 and efficiency which will help us come out on the right side.
 
 Despite the overwhelming need for infrastructure in the country, the
 construction industry as a whole has been witnessing sluggishness 
 ( slow order inflows, high & rising interest costs & rise in commodity
 prices). This last year has been particularly challenging for the 
 Company and the performance has not met either our expectations or 
 targets; the revenue growth has been adversely affected by natural 
 calamities like flash floods, order delays and cancellations due to 
 environmental concerns and current political scenarios.
 
 Asia has become the engine of world growth and despite lingering
 economic uncertainty and ongoing political uncertainty, the outlook for
 India remains positive as a major contributing factor offering great
 opportunities.  The rapid changes of the last decade are only a
 precursor to the much greater growth and prosperity that we can achieve
 in the coming years and the Company is well placed to benefit from
 these opportunities. The Company is a key player in India''s economic
 landscape.  The company expects to deliver increased revenue and
 operating profit on the back of high levels of work in hand and
 improving economic conditions in the country.
