KEC International Ltd., a global infrastructure engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) major and a flagship company of the RPG Group, announced that it has secured new infrastructure orders totaling Rs. 1,303 crores across its various business verticals. The newly secured contracts span across the Transmission & Distribution (T&D) and Cables & Conductors segments. These fresh wins encompass important domestic and international projects, including the construction of a 400 kV transmission line in Northern India, 380 kV transmission lines in Saudi Arabia, and the supply of towers, hardware, and poles across the Americas, alongside multiple cable orders in domestic and overseas markets.
The company is a prominent global infrastructure EPC player with operations across Power Transmission & Distribution, Civil, Transportation, Renewables, Oil & Gas Pipelines, and Cables & Conductors, maintaining a commercial footprint across more than 110 countries. Backed by RPG Enterprises—a fast-growing Indian business group with a $5.2 billion turnover—KEC International has maintained robust operational momentum through 2025 and 2026. Managing Director and CEO Vimal Kejriwal noted that the firm’s robust order intake has pushed its year-to-date order intake past Rs. 7,600 crores, supporting a combined order book and L1 position exceeding Rs. 40,000 crores. Despite facing transitory headwinds such as geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East and labour shortages, the company successfully reduced its consolidated net debt by over Rs. 150 crores and improved its net working capital days during the recent quarter.
During the first quarter of financial year 2026-27, KEC International reported consolidated revenue of Rs. 5,024 crores, reflecting a marginal increase of 0.01% year-on-year compared to Rs. 5,023 crores in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. However, consolidated profit after tax (PAT) dropped by 41.72% year-on-year to Rs. 72.62 crores down from Rs. 124.60 crores, weighed down by compressed operating margins and delayed execution in water projects. On a sequential quarter-on-quarter basis, revenue declined by 21.53% from Rs. 6,419.84 crores in the preceding quarter, while net profit fell by 62.33% from Rs. 192.79 crores.
