Worthington-Pump India’s South Africa arm has bagged fresh orders worth ₹461 crore from Matla a Metsi Joint Venture.
Kolkata-based WPIL manufactures and services pumps and pump systems for sectors such as irrigation, water management, and construction. It is also involved in providing specialised fluid-handling solutions.
Meanwhile, the Matla a Metsi Joint Venture is a group of South African experts tasked with overseeing the construction and engineering of the Polihali dam and related projects in the country.
The deets: under the contract, the company will help with complete electro mechanical and instrumentation works for the Mokolo Crocodile Water Augmentation Project phase 2.
Mokolo Crocodile Water Augmentation is a project based in South Africa’s Limpopo province designed to direct water from Mokolo Dam to the town of Lephalale.
The main aim of the project is to fulfill water needs for the town of Lephalale and the nearby Waterberg district. The contract is expected to be completed within 48 months.
Big picture: earlier this year, WPIL was focused on strengthening its presence in Europe, and with this new order, it now aims to deepen its footprint in Africa. The project is expected to provide long-term revenue and improved visibility, helping the company recover from last quarter’s dip in revenue and profit.
