NBCC set to enter new growth phase after CMD A.K. Mittal's tenure extended

The Appointments Committee of the Union Cabinet has extended the tenure of Dr Anoop Kumar Mittal, Chairman and Managing Director of NBCC (India) Limited in recognition of his invaluable contribution and pioneering work towards creating a world-class organisation.

Dr Mittal is said to have brought sea-change in the functioning of government-owned project management and consultancy firm. He has worked in various capacities at NBCC after joining the company in 1985.

After becoming the Chairman and Managing Director in 2013, he transformed the state-owned construction major into a one of the leading construction companies in the country. Dr Mittal has also been credited for adopting new technologies for developing environment-friendly residential, commercial, institutional and office landmark projects.

Since Dr Mittal took over, NBCC's turnover has doubled and order book grown four times with the current order pipeline at about Rs 80,000 crore. The market capitalisation has grown nearly 20 times, standing tall at about Rs 20,000 crore in 2016-17 against Rs 1,100 crore in 2012-13. The market capitalisation touched an all-time high of Rs 25,000 crore in November 2017.

The company is engaged in many flagship schemes of the government like Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, Namami Gange, Smart Cities Mission, Skill India, and Housing For All by 2022. 

NBCC's execution of border fencing along Indo-Bangladesh and Indo-Pak border has majorly contributed in securing India's international boundaries. NBCC has also been involved in development of roads in remote and terror-infested areas under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura and Odisha. This has helped in promoting trade and benefitted the regional economy.
