“Honest hard work, a progressive attitude and adaptability by motivated members of the Simplex family have been the keys to our growth.”-BD Mundhra, Chairman & Managing Director The Company Incorporated in 1924 as a British-owned piling firm, Simplex was acquired by the Mundhra family in 1947. The company became Simplex Concrete Piles (I) Ltd in 1996, when it went public. It is registered in the National, Bombay and Kolkata stock exchanges. The name of the company was changed to Simplex Infrastructures Ltd in November 2000 and it is currently the largest pure play civil construction and engineering contractor in India, with eight decades of successful operations and completion of about 2,300 projects in India and abroad.

Simplex possesses the largest fleet of pile drivers outside the US apart from specialised equipment such as cranes, hydraulic excavators and earthmoving machines. This is reinforced by software that provides a complete spares inventory across the various locations of the company’s presence, resulting in high-efficiency operations and low costs.
