KUALA LUMPUR – Eversendai Corporation Bhd’s tender book is estimated at approximately RM11 billion with interesting and highly prospective iconic landmark projects in the pipeline, especially in Saudi Arabia and India, group managing director Tan Sri A. K. Nathan said.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, he said the group anticipates a gradual and steady recovery in 2023 with the current backlog of new order books secured and the overall positive market outlook in key geographical regions the group operates in.
