Chennai-based Indira Group of Companies has drawn up plans to enter the Maldives, Mauritius and African markets as part of its expansion programme. “We are in the process of bagging orders close to ₹1,000 crore this calendar year,” said Bhupesh Nagarajan, chairman and founder. Two projects of more than ₹800 crore are to be executed in Maldives over the next two years, he added. “The first in the line of ₹350 crore was bagged by our joint venture firm (Ashoka Buildcon Ltd.) ABL-Indira Projects to design and construct police stations, accommodations and custody facilities in Maldives for its police service. It will cover 80% of the island,” Mr. Nagarajan said. According to him, about 85% of the total construction cost of this project would be funded by Exim Bank and the remaining by the Maldivian government. An agreement was signed by Maldives Commissioner of Police Mohammed Hameed and Mr. Nagarajan in Maldives on July 17.
