Partnership on a Roll

You can tell a country by its roads, they say. The longer the roads, the faster the growth; the broader the roads, the better its development. And smooth roads always mean a healthy, vibrant economy. ?The economic impact of good roads can never be understated,? says Vinod Agarwal, Managing Director, GR InfraProjects, a leading Udaipur-based road developer. ?To boost our country?s GDP, we need sustained investments in infrastructure.?

Founded in 1965, GR InfraProjects is a well-established name in construction of highways and bridges across India. The company has successfully executed 155 projects covering 3,200 km in Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and the North-east.

GR InfraProjects is well respected within the industry for its commitment, quality of work, HR practices and CSR activities. The company has a reputation for delivering projects well ahead of schedule. ?That?s our strength really, beating deadlines time and again,? says Mahendra Agarwal, Director, GR InfraProjects. ?Time saved is money earned in this business, you see.?

These include five EC140B and two EC210B excavators, four DD100 tandem rollers, two each of SD110 soil compactors, G930 motor graders and L120 wheel loaders, and an ABG7820 paver. Together, they deliver what the company is looking for solid performance at site on time, every time.

?The Volvo team spends a lot of quality time understanding our specific requirements to provide machines configured precisely for our working environment,? says Ratan Lal Kashyap, Vice-president Procurement. According to him, Volvo CE equipment scores strongly on efficiency and fuel economy. And with advanced Caretrack System in place, machine maintenance problems and downtime are down to the barest minimum. ?The key challenge in great road-building is to get everything rolling smoothly from day one of operations: No delays, no breakdowns, no hiccups. Our Volvos ensure that,? adds Vinod Agarwal.

Apart from a highly responsive sales team, Volvo CE has also put in place a strong service team to ensure prompt service and training to company mechanics and machine operators. ?It is excellent product reliability backed by complete support all the way,? says Mahendra Agarwal.

On the highways of success A breakout in infrastructure development is imminent at the country?s horizon. And GR InfraProjects, with its rich experience and an impeccable track record, stands well poised to capitalise on the unfolding potential. The company was recently awarded for Best Capital Management at the Business Today-YES Bank Emerging Companies Excellence Awards function. The Shillong Bypass Project was completed one year in advance for which the company received a bonus from NHAI. GR InfraProjects is now exploring opportunities to work on road projects abroad. ?No doubt, we are proud of all that we have achieved so far,? says Vinod Agarwal. ?But there is more to do. This is only the beginning!? GR InfraProjects aims to be among the most admired infrastructure companies. Vinod Agarwal sums it up with a smile, ?The road to success is always under construction.?
