KEC International wins ₹1,002 crore grid orders in 2026

What KEC International announced

KEC International Ltd, the RPG Group’s infrastructure engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, said it has secured new orders worth ₹1,002 crore. The orders are spread across its transmission and distribution (T&D) business and its cables and conductors business. The company disclosed that the new wins include a composite contract in India and additional orders in international markets. The order announcement adds to a series of contract wins reported by the company across its core grid and related supply segments.

Management said the orders have strengthened its T&D order book, particularly due to the composite order secured in India. Vimal Kejriwal, MD and CEO, said the customer mix in the India T&D order book has diversified further with this addition. KEC also stated that, with these wins, its year-to-date order intake stands at ₹21,300 crore.

Details of the India composite T&D order

In the T&D segment, KEC said it won orders for 220/132 kV transmission lines, substations and extra-high voltage (EHV) cabling in India. The company described this as a composite order, indicating multiple scope elements awarded under a single contract. Such contracts typically combine line work, substation execution, and associated cabling, bringing several parts of grid build-out under one package.

The company’s statement positioned the India composite order as a key driver behind the strengthening of its T&D order book. KEC did not disclose the client name or project locations in the information provided. It also did not break down the ₹1,002 crore across individual sub-orders, geographies, or business lines.

Overseas T&D wins and supplies to the Americas

Beyond India, KEC said it secured an additional order for a 400 kV transmission line in the international market. It also won orders for the supply of towers, hardware and poles in the Americas. These components are typically used in transmission line construction and related grid infrastructure.

The announcement signals continued participation in both EPC execution and supply-led opportunities outside India. While the company did not disclose the specific countries for the 400 kV order, it explicitly referenced the Americas for the supply orders covering towers, hardware, and poles.

Cables and conductors: India and overseas supply orders

KEC said its cables and conductors business secured orders for the supply of various types of cables and conductors. These orders cover India as well as overseas markets. The company did not provide product-level details, end-use applications, or customer names in the material provided.

The cables and conductors segment often benefits from demand linked to grid expansion, industrial capex, and electrification. In this update, the company’s disclosure focuses on the fact of new supply wins rather than the project-level execution timeline or margin profile.

Year-to-date order intake and management commentary

KEC stated that its year-to-date order intake stands at ₹21,300 crore. The company’s MD and CEO said the fresh orders have “significantly strengthened” the T&D order book. He also said the India T&D order book has seen further diversification in its customer mix with the addition of the latest composite order.

The company’s update did not specify the period used for the year-to-date calculation beyond being current at the time of the announcement. However, the statement provides a single headline YTD intake figure that KEC attributes to the cumulative order wins so far in the year.

Recent order-flow context mentioned in reports

Separate items included alongside the announcement refer to earlier order wins, including an early-February order value of ₹1,020 crore across multiple verticals. That earlier update referenced wins in civil (including a multispeciality hospital in Central India), transportation (a railway siding in Central India), and T&D (including 220 kV and 132 kV cabling works), along with supply of towers, hardware and poles in the Americas and cable supply orders.

Those earlier references also cited cumulative year-to-date order intake of around ₹20,300 crore at that time. The latest announcement places the year-to-date order intake at ₹21,300 crore, reflecting additional intake since the earlier cited level.

Key facts table

Company profile and business footprint (as stated)

KEC International describes itself as a global infrastructure EPC major. It operates across multiple verticals including power transmission and distribution, civil, transportation, renewables, oil and gas pipelines, and cables and conductors. The material provided also mentions a footprint in 110+ countries, covering EPC as well as supply of towers and cables.

This backdrop is relevant because the current order set includes both EPC-type T&D work and supply-led wins across regions. It also shows how KEC’s order announcements can span several businesses in a single period, depending on tendering cycles and customer procurement schedules.

Market impact and why the order mix matters

From a business perspective, the latest ₹1,002 crore order set increases reported order intake and adds visibility for execution in the T&D segment and associated supply lines. The company explicitly highlighted the composite India T&D order as an anchor win that strengthens the order book and broadens the customer mix in India T&D.

Separately, financial results referenced in the provided material show KEC’s consolidated net profit at ₹160.75 crore in Q2 FY26 and revenue from operations at ₹6,091.56 crore in Q2 FY26. While those results are not tied directly to the ₹1,002 crore order announcement, they provide a snapshot of the company’s scale as it continues to report order wins across geographies.

What to watch next

KEC has not provided project-level timelines, margin guidance, or client details for the new contracts in the information shared. The next set of disclosures to track would typically include further order announcements, execution updates, and periodic financial reporting that reflects the conversion of order book into revenue. For now, the company’s latest update is centered on the ₹1,002 crore intake and the year-to-date order intake figure of ₹21,300 crore.
