Q4. Do you provide equipment for overseas projects?
Yes, we mobilise fleets to Africa, Middle East, and South-East Asia on CFR terms with expatriate operators.
Q5. What is the escalation clause?
Annual escalation is typically linked to WPI or a fixed 5% per annum, mutually agreed at contract signing.
