Vimal Kejriwal, Managing Director and CEO of KEC International, expressed his satisfaction with the multiple orders obtained by their T\&D business from PGCIL and the private developer. He noted that these prestigious orders had considerably strengthened the company's India T\&D order book. Kejriwal also highlighted the company’s pride in securing another HVDC order, building upon the strong foundation of wins from the previous year. He maintained an optimistic outlook on the sector's growth, attributing it to the country’s increasing energy demands and the government’s firm commitment to expanding renewable energy and reinforcing transmission infrastructure.

KEC International stated that these new orders would play a significant role in advancing its targeted growth path and supporting India’s drive towards a robust and future-ready energy infrastructure.
