KEC International bagged a project worth over ₹1,000 crore to help build a major power station in Saudi Arabia.
Note: this is the company's largest-ever substation project.
The deets: the project is to design, supply, and install a 380 kV GIS substation. This basically means a high-voltage power hub that helps safely transmit electricity over long distances and keeps the grid running smoothly.
The project covers full-scale installation for a next-gen gas-insulated substation which is a key part of Saudi Arabia’s power infrastructure upgrade.
Big theme: Indian infrastructure companies are winning big in Saudi Arabia as the country pushes its massive Vision 2030 plan to modernise power, transport, and industrial networks.
With a focus on renewables and grid expansion, Saudi Arabia is awarding large contracts to firms with proven expertise and cost efficiency. These are the areas where Indian players like KEC, L&T, and Kalpataru are bagging major orders.
