Saudi Arabia: KEC International, a global infrastructure EPC major and an RPG Group India company, has secured the contract to construct a new 380 kV overhead transmission line in Saudi Arabia. The scope of works includes design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning services for the line.
The contract comes close on the heels of its recent Transmission & Distribution (T&D) business wins in Saudi Arabia and Oman. In August, the company won orders for 230 kV and 132 kV overhead transmission line projects in Saudi and Oman, and in the UAE, it won a contract for the upgrade of an existing 400 kV transmission line project.
Vimal Kejriwal, the MD & CEO of KEC International, commented: “We are pleased with the continuous inflow of orders. Our international order book has seen significant growth in recent months, particularly in the Middle East, driven by a series of successful order wins in Saudi Arabia and UAE. We are also enthused by the order in Railways, which strengthens our portfolio in the conventional Railway segment. With the above orders, our YTD order intake stands at INR 135 billion ($160.5 million), reflecting a robust growth of over 50% compared to last year,” he added.
