Cyber Gateway Phase 2<br />
A & B at Hyderabad<br />
The first post-tensioning contract<br />
for buildings for <strong>VSL</strong> India was<br />
awarded in the year 2000. Since<br />
then, the company has provided<br />
designs and executed jobs to the<br />
extent of 45 projects. <strong>VSL</strong> India<br />
has also provided value added<br />
cost effective design and<br />
You started with post-tensioning<br />
for LNG tanks, then for buildings,<br />
then for bridges. You are now<br />
growing fast with VSoL ® projects.<br />
What will be your next step?<br />
To produce our own components,<br />
because we usually need 10 weeks<br />
to get them through customs. We<br />
are also building a factory for<br />
bearings, in which we will do our<br />
own assemby and testing. Testing<br />
can also be provided to our clients.<br />
We are targeting 5 major contracts<br />
for bearings, approximately<br />
3 million US dollars.<br />
construction packages for the<br />
engineering contractors.<br />
Currently more than 20 posttensioned<br />
building projects are<br />
under progress in all the metros<br />
of India such as Mumbai, Pune,<br />
Hyderabad, Bangalore and<br />
Chennai. ■<br />
<strong>VSL</strong> India office in Chennai.<br />
Why did you pick up that activity?<br />
Every year I sit and think: how can<br />
I diversify? I did a 6 months survey<br />
for bearings, our price is in the<br />
middle range, <strong>VSL</strong> has a good<br />
name… So I volunteered to one of<br />
my clients for supplying bearings.<br />
Development is: Always room for<br />
improvement. Diversification is:<br />
Let's release one of the client's<br />
headaches! ■<br />
