HEC Infra Projects Secures ₹18.67 Crore EPC Order; Shares Trade Higher

Mumbai, July 10: HEC Infra Projects Ltd. has landed a fresh domestic work order worth ₹18.67 crore from Engineering Projects (India) Ltd. (EPIL), extending its presence in industrial EPC execution with an assignment linked to Gujarat’s Ukai Thermal Power Station.

The company informed exchanges that the contract covers the design, engineering, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of the high-tension and low-tension electrical package, along with associated works for the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) system being installed at Unit 6 (500 MW) of the Ukai TPS.

HEC will be responsible for taking the electrical package from engineering drawings through installation and final commissioning, a broader scope that typically demands greater execution capability than pure product delivery.

The work is scheduled to be completed over 10 months, according to the company’s exchange filing. HEC also confirmed that the order has been awarded by a domestic entity in the ordinary course of business and does not involve any promoter or related-party interest.

Why The Project Matters

The order value may appear modest beside the multi-hundred-crore contracts often announced in the infrastructure space, but it fits squarely into an area where engineering contractors continue to see steady demand.

Flue Gas Desulphurisation systems have become an important part of India’s thermal power sector following tighter emission norms. Installing an FGD unit is not simply about adding pollution-control equipment. It requires extensive electrical integration, commissioning and plant synchronisation without disrupting generating assets.

That is where specialised EPC contractors find opportunities.

For HEC Infra, the contract adds another execution reference in the power infrastructure segment while strengthening its relationship with Engineering Projects (India), a government-owned engineering consultancy and project management company that regularly oversees large industrial and infrastructure projects.

Stock Market Snapshot

Investors reacted positively to the disclosure in early trade.

HEC Infra Projects share price was at ₹136.93, up ₹1.99 or 1.47%, as of 9:23 AM IST on July 10.

The stock traded in a relatively narrow range after the opening bell, suggesting the market viewed the announcement as incrementally positive rather than transformational. Smaller EPC companies often rely on a steady flow of such contracts to build execution visibility and sustain order books over multiple quarters.

Company Background

HEC Infra Projects operates in engineering, procurement and construction services across electrical infrastructure, industrial projects and utility installations. Its work spans design, supply, installation and commissioning for government as well as private sector clients.

The latest order from Engineering Projects (India) Ltd. adds to that pipeline and further strengthens the company’s presence in power-sector EPC works, particularly in projects tied to environmental compliance and plant modernisation.
