Strategic expansions in transmission and momentum

The contracts secured are a significant part of KEC International’s existing transmission and distribution operations, where it has successfully built up its current operating footprint internationally.

The business unit has successfully obtained an array of orders from a diverse set of domestic Indian markets and select overseas outlets. 

The cable and conductor orders support the company’s more significant engineering and construction initiatives and offer a full engineering solution and assured commercial cash flows in multiple markets and geographies.
