Growth

Rolta has enjoyed a sustained growth since its inception due to its ability to transform and select key business areas. Beginning from a data center in 1982, to pioneering & leading India's CAD/CAM/GIS revolution, to being a major international GIS & Engineering services provider, Rolta is now strongly positioned to provide unique, state-of-the-art solutions in the Infrastructure, Government, Defense and Security markets.

There has been robust all round growth in the Company's Revenue and Profitability, year-on-year. Consolidated Revenue has grown by 50.7 % from Rs. 7.11 Billion to Rs. 10.72 Billion in 2008; Consolidated Profit Before Tax has grown by 38.2 % from Rs. 1.94 Billion to Rs. 2.68 Billion in 2008; while Consolidated Profit After Tax has grown 33.6 % from Rs. 1.72 Billion to Rs. 2.30 Billion in 2008. Rolta's cash in hand as on June 30, 2008 was over Rs. 5.00 Billion.

Rolta's long-term growth comes from the fact that its businesses are not me-too in character. The intelligent transformation of knowledge acquired in one business is extended by the Company for creation of new synergic businesses and its emergence as a leader in each of them.

Rolta has built, grown and today, owns world class infrastructure and facilities across the globe.

The vision of creating and owning real estate, to own land & buildings, as opposed to the short cut of leasing, has created a very strong asset base.

This approach has strengthened the Company's Balance Sheet and also resulted in improved profitability of millions of dollars, year-after year, because of savings resulting from not having to incur leasing/rental outflows.

Rolta will continue to invest and grow its facilities to remain ahead of the curve to meet its growing needs. To meet its aggressive growth plans, Rolta is expanding its Mumbai facilities, and establishing development and delivery centers in the Eastern, Northern and Southern parts of India, apart from growing its international delivery centers.

As customer requirements have evolved, the character of Rolta's business has also transformed from largely a comprehensive services provider to a provider of integrated solutions which encompass a customer's comprehensive enterprise wide needs, from concept-to-completion.

Today, Rolta has executed multi-million dollar projects, in more than 40 countries.

Rolta's widespread operations have firm roots in India and it draws its strengths from a dominating presence in the vast home market.

This empowers it to sharpen, enhance and transform its offerings for the international markets and also judiciously optimize resources across operations.

Rolta derives over 50% of its revenues from the domestic market. This enables Rolta to participate in India's growth story and mitigate currency risks.

More importantly, Rolta offers mission-critical solutions in the Conventional Power, Nuclear Power, Oil, Gas, Petrochemicals, Utilities, Transportation, Defense and Homeland Security sectors, which are not only insulated from slowdown, but are also poised for high capacity growth in the coming years.

Thirst for growth is not just a distinctive feature, but also a prevailing attitude at Rolta.

Rolta plans to continue on its journey of transformation by adopting a growth strategy that is both organic and inorganic.
