Punj Lloyd may write off Rs160 crore more in Q4

08 Mar 2010 Evaluate

Engineering & infrastructure company Punj Lloyd will likely write off in the fourth quarter a Rs 160 crore claim made by its client Ensus for delay in completion of its project. This is over and above the Rs 270 crore the company incurred in cost overruns in the second and third quarters. Punj Lloyd’s subsidiary, Simon Carves (SCL), was contracted to build a bio-ethanol plant for the UK-based Ensus. The project, after being delayed, was commissioned in the third quarter.Ensus on March 3 levied liquidated damages to the tune of £23.1 million for delays in the completion of the project.

 

SCL has been plagued by execution delays in some of its projects, including in a petrochemical project in Thailand. The plant, delayed by two months due to design changes, is expected to be completed by June. SCL is fighting a legal dispute with Sabic Petrochemicals UK after the latter called SCL’s performance bond of 28.5 million pounds over delays in the completion of Sabic’s plant in the UK. Punj Lloyd wrote that amount off last fiscal. SCL came into the Punj Lloyd fold when the latter acquired Sembawang Engineers & Constructors in 2006. Given the execution delays faced by SCL, Punj Lloyd is employing its own team in the completion of SCL’s legacy order-book.
