Yanchharla Rathnakara Nagaraja, director of Ramky Infrastructure Ltd.
RamKy Infrastructure has reached a milestone in his company journey by successfully implementing a restructuring output agreement (REA) with his lenders and repaying £ 3,859 crore debt with both term loans and work capital facilities. The working capital facilities are now classified by the lenders as normal and standard. Since the establishment of his company in 1994, the company has completed a wide range of construction and infrastructure projects that focus on industrial infrastructure development and EPC projects in the field of water, waste water treatment, roads, bridges and development of urban infrastructure. line Had a chat with Yr Nagaraja, director of Ramky Infrastructure. Fragments:
Where do you see the scenes for business growth for infrastructure companies in the current industry scenario?
There has been a considerable transaction in many infrastructure areas in both industrial and solution segments. The policy of the industrial parks of different states is good for the economy and companies and we see many opportunities in this segment. The National Highways Authority of India also rolls out many projects. There is also room in the development of waterways. Urban Solutions Segment also maintains a good promise for infrastructure players such as Ramby with a focus on common sewerage treatment plans and development of residential and commercial space.
What are your plans to raise things in the future?
We are currently strong in both industrial and urban solution space. We have successfully executed and exploit the Jawaharlal Nehu Pharma City in Visakhapatnam in Parawada (which now comes under the Anakapalli district of Andhra Pradesh) and want to show it as a model industrial park to attract more things in the segment. In the urban solutions we focus primarily on waste water treatment, residential and commercial housing projects.
Your company is not seen much in projects for Engineering, Purchasing and Consultancy (EPC). Can you tell the reason behind it?
According to our perception, EPC contracts from a long-term perspective are not attractive. Even ordinary companies participate in the bids and quality infrastructure generally becomes a problem. We have traveled on EPC Road in some projects, but now we consciously concentrate on Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) projects.
What are the specific projects in the pipeline for Ramky under Bot mode industrial parks?
Ramky already has a memorandum of agreement (MOU) with Maharashtra inked for a project. We are also in the first discussions for some important projects in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka. With our successful experience in Visakhaptnam Pharma City, we can now provide Plug and Play Industrial Parks with end-to-end sustainable solutions such as water treatment facilities, nutrition while we meet the specific requirements of different industries.
What is your order book now? How well is you capitalized to carry out projects from hand?
Our order book is £ 8,700 crore. Our debt – stock ratio is at 0.25. We have been sufficiently capitalized for the next 3 to 4 years. Consulting of future annuities will ensure the demands of the cash flow. And project financing can be used for banks when needed. We have a double digit CAGR with 17 to 18 percent for the five years and expect that EBITDA will be the same reach in the coming five years, although we do not make future explanations for immediate future.
More so
