KEC International, a leading global EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) company in power transmission and distribution, has won new orders worth ₹3,243 crore.
The contracts include its largest-ever EPC order in the international T&D segment, strengthening its global order book and boosting its presence in high growth regions.
The fresh orders cover the construction of 400 kV transmission lines in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), along with supply of towers, hardware and poles in the Americas. According to the company, the Middle East is playing an increasingly important role in its international business and this deal further cements its strength in that region.
Vimal Kejriwal, Managing Director & CEO of KEC International, said the order wins are particularly special because this is their largest EPC order to date in the international T&D business. He noted that the contracts will play a key role in driving the company’s targeted growth moving ahead. With these orders, the company’s year-to-date order intake has now reached approximately ₹11,700 crore.
KEC International’s recent performance has also shown improvement in Q1 FY26. The firm reported a rise of about 42.3% in its consolidated net profit to ₹124.60 crore, compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue from operations also rose by over 11% year-on-year. The EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) margin expanded as well, helping support investor confidence.
Markets reacted positively to the announcement. Shares of KEC International rose sharply, gaining around 6 to 6.5% in early trading after the order news, reflecting optimism around the company’s prospects.
The new orders are expected to help KEC in multiple ways. They will deepen its international footprint, especially in the Middle East and Americas, and improve its order book strength in the transmission & distribution sector. They may also help buffer against domestic market slowdowns, as international contracts often bring scale and longer execution windows. The company has been focusing on diversifying both geographically and in its business verticals.
While challenges remain in managing supply chain, raw material costs, and timely execution of large projects, KEC’s ability to win such large orders is seen as evidence of its operational strength and competitiveness. The contracts’ size and international nature suggest confidence from clients in KEC’s execution capabilities. Overall, this development marks a strong moment for the company as it navigates a shifting landscape in global infrastructure development.
