EIL Plans Expansion into Thermal, Offshore Wind, and Nuclear Sectors

Engineers India (EIL) is actively working to expand its footprint in the power generation sector beyond its traditional focus on oil and gas, according to its Chairman and Managing Director, Vartika Shukla.

The company is currently engaging with stakeholders in the wind energy sector to explore offshore wind opportunities. In addition, it is evaluating a project management consultancy (PMC) role in the thermal power segment, particularly in light of efforts to revive several dormant plants. This strategic move is in line with the Indian government’s plan to add 80 GW of coal-based power capacity by 2032, with a possible increase to 100 GW to meet growing electricity demand and rising coal production.

At the same time, India has set a target of installing 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, creating substantial opportunities in the renewable and nuclear energy segments. EIL, which has previously worked on captive power plants and managed the relocation of a 300 MW gas-based facility, is now deepening its involvement in the nuclear sector.

The company has already contributed to major projects such as the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant and the ITER fusion reactor systems. It is also exploring opportunities in the emerging small modular reactor segment, as India aims to achieve 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047.
