India, Mumbai: KEC International Ltd has won an order for building a 220 kV substation for a petroleum refinery owned by public sector undertaking (PSU).
In a release announcing the winning of series of new orders aggregating around $159 M (RS 1,313 crore), the Mumbai-headquartered global infrastructure EPC company said that it has been mandated to build a 200 kV GIS substation for a PSU refinery project in India.
This is the first substation order for KEC International, placed by a PSU refining company, the release said.
Within the power T&D sector, KEC has won an order to build a 500 kV power transmission line in Thailand, apart from a mandate to construct a 132 kV transmission line (and associated substations) in Nepal.
In the relatively new solar business, KEC has secured a domestic order for a 500 MW solar PV project. This is KEC’s largest order in the domestic solar business, the company said.
“With the substation order in T&D, we have now diversified our customer base to include non-utility clients, in addition to the current power utilities. The T&D orders in East Asia Pacific and SAARC have further strengthened our presence in these international markets. With these orders, our YTD order intake stands at around Rs.14,500 crore, a robust growth of about 20 per cent vis-à-vis last year,” said Vimal Kejriwal, MD and CEO of KEC International Ltd.
