This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: The article reflects developments up to 2014. The expected project completion dates haven't been updated since and lie in the past. The company's website seems to have moved to tirupatiafrica.com; the site thetirupatigroup.com now belongs to an eponymous Indian company; and the site tirupati-uganda.com linked to in the references no longer exists.
