KEC International Ltd, an infrastructure engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company belonging to the RPG Group, has secured new orders worth ₹1,014 crore in its power transmission and distribution (T&D) business in India. The orders include the company’s first contract to construct a 765 kV transmission line for evacuating power from a pumped storage plant (PSP) in western India. The project marks an expansion of KEC International’s work in high-voltage transmission infrastructure supporting renewable energy and energy storage projects.
The new orders add to the company’s portfolio of transmission and distribution projects as India continues to expand its power infrastructure to meet rising electricity demand and integrate renewable energy capacity.

He said the order marked an important milestone for the company’s T&D business as it supports the growing infrastructure requirements of the renewable energy sector. Kejriwal added that the latest wins had taken the company’s year-to-date order intake to more than ₹9,600 crore.
