Saluting the Covid Warriors of Commissioning

I am delighted to note that Praj's focus on customer centricity has continued
despite the challenges posed by the Covid 19 pandemic.
I applaud our customers, their engineers, supervisors and commissioning staff
who quickly adapted to the new normal and are proceeding with production. In
successfully taking charge of plants, they have boosted Praj's confidence in
facilitating hand-overs.
We also salute Praj's own commissioning and construction engineers who
continued serving customers despite the Covid -19 nationwide lock-down. From
Lockdown 01 to 04, they travelled thousands of kilometres across the country,
maintaining personal safety, carrying special permissions arranged by clients
and under strict adherence to Government guidelines.
My appreciation would not be complete without acknowledging the warriors in
the background - supportive families - because of whose backing, our teams
could complete project and commissioning on time.
We thank all for their courage and determination, demonstrating that it's only by
meeting challenges we can find the best in ourselves.
All the best, and keep up the good work.
