KEC International has secured new orders valued at ₹1,030 crore across its transmission and distribution, renewables, and cables businesses. This latest win pushes the company's total year-to-date order intake to over ₹8,600 crore.
Why it matters
These contracts strengthen the company's international footprint with major infrastructure projects in Bhutan, Saudi Arabia, and the Americas, alongside a significant wind project in India. Expanding the client portfolio in the renewables sector helps diversify the company's revenue streams amid global infrastructure development.
The firm secured orders for a 400 kV transmission line in Bhutan and a 380 kV line in Saudi Arabia, in addition to a 300+ MW wind project in southern India. These gains follow a Q1 FY27 revenue report of ₹5,024 crore and a net profit of ₹72.6 crore.
