Vimal Kaushik will continue as the MD of Punj Lloyd

Punj Lloyd Group has announced a massive restructuring in its operating structure. Aimed at driving profitable growth, the new operating structure decentralizes the group’s operations in various geographies to empower the regional heads and make them accountable for the opportunities that lie ahead.
In the new structure, Energy, which has been a key focus area of the Group, will have two independent operating entities. The South Asia / South East Asia operations including offshore and LNG global verticals will be headed by P K Gupta, Director on the Board, while Ravindra Kansal and Atul Jain, both President & CEO, will jointly head the energy operations in Middle East, Africa and CIS countries.
In the infrastructure segment, Sembawang Engineers and Constructors (SEC) will continue to operate as a separate entity, with Ric Grosvenor as the President & CEO. Grosvenor will also spearhead the operations of Sembawang UAE, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEC.
