SUCCESSFUL EPC CONTRACTING IN INDIA
Addressing Fiscal and Legal Challenges
17,18 & 19 April, 2008
Hotel The Imperial | New Delhi | India |
3rd ANNUAL
Conference and Interactive Workshop on
SUCCESSFUL EPC CONTRACTING IN INDIA
Addressing Fiscal and Legal Challenges
As the Indian Economy makes rapid strides,
the Equipment Procurement and Construction activities present exciting
opportunities along with fiscal, taxation and legal challenges.
Besides the existing framework of various regulation, new changes are constantly
introduced by the Government making it imperative for both sides of the contracting
parties to keep themselves abreast of how these changes affect their businesses
and shape up potential opportunities.
With an aim to facilitate the EPC
contractors and also the Project Owners in their endeavor to update and gain a
deeper and concise knowledge of the current and evolving tax and legal issues
surrounding it, Infraline in collaboration with leading tax consulting firm BMR
& Associates has been organising two days annual workshops. The past workshops
have been very well attended by various participants across the industries
including Power, Oil & Gas, Engineering, Real Estate, Special Economic Zones,
etc. Based on their very encouraging feedback, not only the agenda has been
substantially enhanced but also one full day has been provided for the
participants to have a better understanding of the basics. The optional basic
course module is aimed towards refreshing various subjects for the industry
veterans, making them aware of the changes introduced and also preparing the
younger participants for the advanced programme.
The presentations to be made by the
speakers would aim at analyzing the finer details on tax savings, tax risks and
mitigants, contracting issues, legal imperatives during bid submissions as well
as practical aspects during tax assessments. The workshop intends to update and
enrich the knowledge base of Financial, Legal and Commercial teams of the Project
Owners as also the Contractors. The workshop will also capture all
important announcements of Union Budget 2008.
The high-point of the event is the simulation of a real-life EPC contracting bid planning and presentation, involving interactive role played by (bidding teams comprising the participants)
on Day 3 of the programme (April 19, 2008). The objective of the interactive case study is to enable application of the understanding and knowledge gained at the workshop
in preparation and delivery of an effective bid in a simulated environment. The group dynamics involved in the bid preparation and the subsequent presentation of the bid by the selected bidding team would help participants gain a practical insight on construction and evaluation of a successful EPC bid.
To
maintain the programme quality, number of participants is capped at 150.
Therefore, early
registration is strongly advised. Also there are Special Rates for early Registration.
The previous programmes have been very
successful and widely acclaimed. Visit the
