Shares of KEC International surged after the company secured its largest-ever transmission and distribution orders worth ₹3,243 crore.
The deets: the new orders include 400 kilovolt transmission lines in the United Arab Emirates, along with the supply of towers, hardware, and poles in the Americas.
Indian EPC companies like L&T, Tata Projects, and IRCON have delivered major global projects, earning international trust. KEC’s ₹11,700 crore orders strengthen its Middle East presence, highlighting India’s growing role in infrastructure and proving its ability to compete effectively with established global infrastructure majors across key markets.
Big picture: global electricity demand is set to grow by over 3% annually through 2030, while India targets 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by the same year. This is driving a surge in demand for transmission lines, substations, and grid solutions to support the massive shift in energy infrastructure.
KEC’s record ₹3,243 crore win highlights how India-based firms are stepping beyond domestic markets to shape the backbone of global power infrastructure.
