26 Aug 2025 CW Team

Quest Flow Controls (QFCL) has secured an order worth Rs 236 million from Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Ltd (GRSE) for the supply of valves and spares for a key naval project. The milestone pushes the company’s order book beyond Rs 1 billion, underscoring its position as a trusted partner in delivering high-quality valves and services for India’s naval requirements.

The current order book, valued at over Rs 1 billion, carries an execution timeline of 12–18 months. However, QFCL is mobilising its resources to ensure early delivery, reflecting its emphasis on reliability and customer confidence.

Kishor Makvan, Chief Executive Officer, highlighted that while naval projects remain a cornerstone of operations, QFCL has been actively diversifying into international markets. The company is expanding across the Middle East, South-East Asia, Russia, and North Africa, tapping into demand for advanced flow-control systems in marine, oil and gas, and infrastructure sectors.

Management sees geographical diversification as a cornerstone of sustainable growth, complementing its strong naval order inflow. The company’s growing naval contracts reinforce its long-term commitment to supporting India’s defence and maritime interests, while strengthening ties with the Indian Navy and the shipbuilding ecosystem.

This contract not only cements QFCL’s growing footprint in the naval sector but also showcases its ambition to become a globally recognised and trusted player in the valve manufacturing and solutions industry.
