MEIL Receives Purchase Order for Nuclear Power Project from NPCIL

Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Ltd. (MEIL) has formally received the Purchase Order for a Rs 128 billion EPC contract from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) to construct two 700 MWe nuclear reactors—Kaiga Units 5 & 6—in Karnataka. This is the biggest-ever order placed by NPCIL and marks MEIL’s first major step into the nuclear energy sector—a field that will help shape India’s energy future.

The order was formally handed over at NPCIL’s Mumbai headquarters to Shri Ch. P. Subbaiah, Director, MEIL (Projects), and his team. It was not just a professional achievement but a moment filled with pride, recognition, and a deep sense of responsibility. For the first time, NPCIL used the Quality-cum-Cost-Based Selection (QCBS) method for awarding this project—striking a careful balance between quality and cost.

Competing with industry giants like BHEL and L&T, MEIL was chosen for its strong technical approach and competitive pricing. This project goes beyond engineering. It’s about contributing to a stronger, self-reliant India. For MEIL, it’s a meaningful leap into a sector that plays a key role in powering the nation’s growth story.

The leadership of MEIL shared their heartfelt confidence in the team’s ability to deliver the project on time—while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, and care. With a solid track record of delivering large-scale projects across India and abroad, MEIL is stepping into this new responsibility with a strong sense of purpose and dedication. This step into nuclear energy adds a new chapter to MEIL’s journey and strengthens its growing role in shaping India’s infrastructure and energy future.
