01 Sep 2018 CW Staff

Order book: Rs.238.88 billion Employee strength: 25,290 Dilip Buildcon (DBL) is one of the fastest growing, vertically integrated, innovation-oriented and road-focussed EPC contractors in India. With its large fleet of construction equipment and vehicles, it has emerged as the largest road EPC player and is one of the best project executors in the country. Having successfully completed almost 90 per cent of its projects before time, it has managed to garner a sizeable bonus in the past years. Apart from roads, DBL has also developed EPC capabilities in bridges and flyovers, irrigation, mining and urban development. A major factor distinguishing DBL from other infrastructure companies in India is its prudent bidding strategy and tight execution to complete projects before schedule. While DBL has an experienced leadership team, it is also system and process-driven. Along with an integrated business model through in-house design, engineering and construction, which does not necessitate any outsourcing or subcontracting, its careful, geographic selection of projects has ensured that the company witnesses consistent growth. Little wonder then, that with a robust order book of Rs 238.88 billion, DBL's star continues to shine bright.
