SEPC just made a big global move.The company is buying a 90% stake in an Abu Dhabi-based firm, Avenir International Engineers and Consultants.
The deets: the deal is worth around ₹1,530 crore. Investors clearly liked it, the stock jumped nearly 10%. But this isn’t just another acquisition.
SEPC is essentially buying its way into the global oil and gas engineering space. Think bigger projects, especially in the Middle East, and access to more profitable, tech-driven work.
Zoom out: the Middle East sits on some of the cheapest oil and gas in the world. In 2024 alone, it accounted for about 30% of global oil production and 17% of natural gas.
What’s also interesting is that a huge chunk of this energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical shipping routes. About 80% of the oil passing through it is headed to Asia. On the gas side, over 110 bcm of LNG moved through this route in 2025, with Qatar and the UAE heavily reliant on it.
In simple terms, this region is where the action is, both in production and global supply.
So what SEPC is really doing is positioning itself right in the middle of this energy corridor, where the projects are bigger, the money is higher, and the global demand is only growing.
