New Delhi, May 6 (IBNS) Diversified global EPC conglomerate Punj Lloyd has received a Letter of Award for the construction of 42 km, 2x3 lane dual carriageway project between Doraigh and Noubat Dokaim from Ministry of Public Works & Highways, Republic of Yemen.

Speaking on this achievement, President & CEO, Buildings & Infrastructure, MEA & CIS, Pardeep Tandon said, “This is the first major expressway project for Punj Lloyd in the Middle East.

Yemen is also a repeat country for Punj Lloyd which has already executed work on the offsites and utilities of the prestigious Yemen LNG project.
