AZRB targets RM800mil to RM1bil in new construction contracts

Roslan: ‘We are excited as EKVE is our first toll concession and hopefully it is not the only one.’

Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd (AZRB) targets to replenish its construction order book by RM800mil to RM1bil this year, inclusive of the highly anticipated job in the development of the mass rapid transit (MRT) line 2.

Group chief operating officer Datuk Roslan Jaffar says although the construction industry outlook is robust this year, supported by a couple of developments of urban rail network in the capital, he admits this target is lower than what was recorded last year when the company clinched its first toll concession job, the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE), worth RM1.55bil.
