"Our decision to stay away from BOT projects, the energy sector as well as foreign projects helped us." - Jagdishkumar Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd.

J Kumar Infraprojects, a civil engineering and infrastructure development trailblazer, has its primary focus on development of roads, flyovers, bridges, railway overbridges, irrigation projects, commercial and residential buildings, railway buildings, sports complexes and airport runways. Defying economic uncertainties, the company has performed consistently year after year.

For Jagdishkumar Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director,
J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd, this performance is a seamless continuation of the company´s zeal and sustained pursuit of excellence since inception. In FY14, while the employees outdid themselves professionally, the company focussed on cost economy and productivity in every project. Gupta adds, ´Our policy of taking direct orders of government projects instead of the sub-contracting route helped us´

The company has recently bagged an order worth Rs 700 crore in Rajasthan. Going forward, Gupta expects more metro projects to come on stream and is confident of surging ahead, given the company´s expertise in such projects and new tunnel boring machines. J Kumar Infraprojects aims to raise its turnover to over Rs 1,500 crore next year from the current Rs 1,200 crore.
