In an interview to an international publication, Essar general manager for corporate planning Amar Kapadia said: “We plan to award an LSTK (Lump Sum Turnkey) contract with project drivers of schedule, cost, quality and safety with the balance of the need to meet local content requirements even during the project execution phase.

The privately-held Essar Group has global investments across four areas – energy, metals and mining, infrastructure and EPC verticals.

The company has an annual turnover of more than $13bn.
