Galfar and Engineering and Contracting maintained its position as one of the leading contracting companies in Oman with operations across the Sultanate and India. Galfar remains one of the largest employers of Omani nationals in the private sector.
The group’s performance during the year 2018 has resulted in positive contribution to the equity and reduction in accumulated losses. The majority of accumulated losses are from Indian operations.
Post balance sheet date, the parent company has entered into a preliminary agreement with PMA International to sell all its investments in India. The deal will facilitate the company to concentrate on its core business in Oman and enhance value addition to the stakeholders.
During the year, the company including its subsidiaries, has recorded a turnover of RO289.1mn (against RO293.1mn in 2017) with profit after tax of RO2.2mn (against a loss of RO6.5mn in 2017).
