The projects were awarded by NTPC Limited and indicate a step up in scale and complexity compared with earlier B2B assignments, underscoring the firm's ability to execute large energy projects. Management indicated the move into BESS aligns with the company's long-term focus on sustainability and offers a potential first-mover advantage as the market evolves. BESS is identified as central to renewable integration, grid reliability and peak demand management.

The release noted India has built less than one per cent of its required battery storage and faces an estimated gap of 208 GWh, creating a significant opportunity for energy storage providers. As battery costs fall and policy support strengthens, BESS is progressing from pilot deployments to a core component of power infrastructure across utility, commercial and industrial applications. The awards position the company to participate in this expanding market.

Geographical expansion includes Bihar, Assam and Telangana, extending the firm's presence in key growth markets. The company retains over 15 years of experience in water and wastewater projects and within fiscal year 2025-26 formed EIE Renewables Private Limited to develop 79 MW of solar capacity. The organisation maintains an in-house team for design, engineering, civil works and operations and maintenance to support execution and quality control. Post commissioning operations and maintenance obligations are expected to form part of the project scope, leveraging the firm's in-house operations team.

Enviro Infra Engineers Limited secured five significant projects during March 2026 with a combined value of Rs 14.81 billion (bn), enhancing the company's order book and revenue visibility. A headline element is the group's entry into the Battery Energy Storage System segment with orders aggregating Rs 10.7 billion and a combined storage capacity of 930 MWh (megawatt-hour). The company indicated the contracts will improve near-term revenue visibility and strengthen its platform for project execution.

The Walled Garden

I am not suggesting Indian architects are inadequate. The profession has produced extraordinary work – from Charles Correa's quiet humanism to Balkrishna Doshi's Nobel-recognised genius.

It is time for an honest conversation about this.The Architects Act of 1972 established the Council of Architecture (COA) as the statutory body regulating architecture practice in India. Its founding logic was sound: to ensure those calling themselves architects meet a minimum standard of competence and to protect the publi..

Reimagining construction through a ‘War on Waste’, Circato founders T Paul Koshy, Sushma Joseph and Praveen Crasta speak to CW on turning single-use plastic into high-performance building systems – demonstrated at Bengaluru International Airport with a 16-ft wall installed in just 48 hours.What specific gap in the construction ecosystem led to the creation of Circato?Sushma Joseph: We felt the industry had normalised inefficiency. In construction, timelines, costs and outcomes often remain uncertain, yet that is widely accepted. We wanted to show that inefficiencies can be..
