The Engineering Division focuses on turnkey engineering procurement and
construction contracts in Hydro Mechanical projects, Irrigation projects, and Canal&
Dams projects. The EPC contracts work include civil construction, designing, engineering,
procurement, fabrication, manufacturing, supply, installation, commissioning and
operations & maintenance. Company has successfully executed more than 70 Civil and
Hydro-mechanical contracts for Hydro-power & Irrigation projects across the country
and abroad over the last 5 decades.
Currently working on multiple construction projects with total
outstanding unexecuted contract value of Rs. 2655.75 Cr.(OMIL Share). These projects are
across multiple states (Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu,
Arunachal Pradesh, Punjab and Rajasthan) and two international locations (one in Africa
and other in Nepal). Company?s largest value contracts - Isarda Dam project (Rs 550
Crore pre GST) has gathered good pace; Shahpurkhandi Punjab (Rs.552.04 Cr) also
progressing very well. Jal Jeevan Mission projects in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh which
earlier escalated turnover of company handsomely in previous year witnessed slow down this
year due to fund lapse by Central Govt. and in recent budget Central Govt. has again
allocated funds to complete the running projects. . Revenue booking at other Hydro
Mechanical contracts,Arun-3 (Nepal) and Irrigation project at Amravati (Maharashtra),
Chitakurdi taking pace in a smooth way. Africa Irrigation projects almost ended and
O&M is going one.

bagged in Q4FY22) progressing at a comparatively low pace and the fund allocation by
Central Govt. as envisaged in recent budget is awaited. These projects typically earn an
EBITDA Margin in the range of 12-15% over the life of the project as against 18-20% margin
earned by Hydro & Other Water Projects.

Real Estate Division
The Company is also engaged in Development of Real Estate projects.
Real Estate project " Om Green Meadows" in Kota and other one in Jaipur named
"Pallacia" handed over with sellable area of over a Million sqft and one is in
planning stage at Mumbai with the total expected and assumed saleable/serviceable area 2.5
lac sqft (Om?s share). Considering that the reality market to do considerably well,
the Company is all set to sale the unsold inventory and achieve overall Rs>4 billion
revenue and over 2 billion unrealized cash inflow from both the projects.
However, since as per IND AS 115, income /Revenue is booked on having
sale deed execution , but regular maintenance and value addition costs are recognized
regularly, the operating margins in Real Estate appear to be consistent on quarterly
basis. The operating profit generally is higher in a period when revenue is recognized.
Bandra, Mumbai (MHADA) -Slum Rehabilitation and Residential Development
Project
1. Om Infra (35%stake) along with a Consortium was allocated FSI on a
plot of land for redevelopment (SRA) by MHADA in the year 2006 for Rs. 106 Cr.
2. The FSI allotted allowed for development of ~200,000 sq.ft, which is
under the revised CRZ Regulations, was increased in around year 2017 and accordingly the saleable
area increased to more than ~2million sq.ft, subject to approval of design and drawings.
3. Since this was a large project, we tied up with Ms Valor Estate (
formerly DB Realty) ,post which our stake reduced to 17.5%
4. Due to various reasons, the consortium appealed to the arbitration
against MHADA, and the matter is finally heard, and award is received with FSI
enhancement subject to premium payable at applicable rates.
5. It is anticipated that post the hand over of the temporary transit
camps to the slum dweller , a reputed branded developer having strong creditworthiness
may be roped in to develop the project and the company is likely to have an estimated
handsome realizable value of the Company?s share as per current market rates
subject to owner developer sharing ratio determined with reputed builder/developer.
The Turnover of this division this year is Rs.815.09 Lakhs against
Turnover of Rs. 2379.28 Lakhs in the previous year and Loss is Rs. 204.56 lakhs as against
Rs.201.10 Lakhs in the previous year.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Your Company sees good prospects in the domestic economy with the
thrust on infrastructure development. The Company has invested in building up the
capacities over the years and has also mapped the emerging opportunities with the internal
capabilities. Increase in the pace of implementation of various initiatives by the
government and revival of the investment cycle would be conducive for achieving the growth
aspirations of the Company. Government?s need of revival in capex cycle and
infrastructure development would remain conducive for achieving the growth aspirations of
the Company with reduced EMD and PBG in tender and contracts. Acceptability of Insurance
bond in place of Bank Guarantee will open up great unblocking of capital, savings in
working capital and security margins.
According to the Central Electricity Authority, there are 32 hydro
projects under construction in India, with a combined capacity of 16,737.5 MW. This
includes 12,056 MW from central,3,092 MW from state, and 1,590 MW from private sectors. By
2026-27, large hydro is expected to makeup about 17% of the country?s renewable
energy capacity, which is projected to exceed 344 GW. The National Electricity Plan 2023
forecasts new additions of 10,814 MW of conventional hydro and 2,700MW of pumped storage
projects (PSPs) by 2027, with further expansions planned for 2027-32. However, to meet
these goals, challenges like water rights, environmental issues, contractor reliability,
resettlement concerns need to be addressed, as these often cause delays and cost overruns.
The road ahead planned for your Company includes:
> Enlarge global footprint through acquisition and strategic Joint
Ventures in the core business.
> Complete hand over of existing real estate projects.
> Establish presence in varied structure, steel design and
fabrication works in bridges, Pipe laying and heavy engineering works and pumped storage
hydro projects and FGD projects in Thermal Plants.
> Tap India?s second largest potential in the world both in
Hydro Electric Power, River Linking and irrigation by capitalizing on the plans of the
government of India plans of accelerating infra-structure projects.
> Company is also focused on better operational efficiencies which
would help in further margins improvement with a better recognition post name change
> FY26 seems and likely to be much better under probable NDA lead
Modi 3.0 Government for next 5 years as compared to FY25 in terms of execution of projects
at both domestic and international sites leading to higher revenue recognition and FY26 is
expected to witness handsome growth backed by strong focus in water infra sector. .
Growth Opportunity -

dams and related infrastructure, offers substantial growth opportunities due to the
country's ongoing development needs, population growth, and government initiatives.
Sectoral Tailwinds: Government's focus on Hydro
sector

offers strong growth potential
India?s Hydro electricity generation dropped to a decade of
8.3%
Hydropower Projects
> The hydropower capacity to increase from 42 GW to 67 GW by
2031-32.
> 12,340 MW is planned by 2026
> 450 GW renewable energy capacity by 2030
JalJeevan Mission
