What Engineers India does

Engineers India Limited (EIL) is a Navratna public sector enterprise, incorporated in 1965 and headquartered in New Delhi, providing total engineering consultancy and EPC services from concept to commissioning. Its core business is concentrated in the petroleum refining and petrochemicals value chain — EIL has executed 20 of India's 23 refineries and 10 of India's 11 mega petrochemical complexes — and it extends into onshore and offshore oil & gas, cross-country pipelines, strategic storages, fertilisers, mining and metallurgy, and infrastructure. EIL also operates an R&D centre in Gurugram that has commercialized 35+ proprietary process technologies (including DHDT, delayed coking, EngTreatL, furfural-to-furfuryl alcohol, and the EngCO2chitran CO2eq platform) and holds 36 active patents.

EIL directly serves the Government of India, its ministries (notably the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas), and the major Indian public sector oil and gas companies — ONGC, IOC, HPCL, BPCL, GAIL, CPCL, MRPL, and others — under long-cycle PMC, EPCM, FEED, and EPC contracts. International clients include Dangote Group (Nigeria, $350M+ Phase-II refinery expansion), ADNOC and its UAE subsidiaries, Mongolia's state-owned refinery under a $1.7 billion Indian Line of Credit, and the Government of Mongolia. The customer base is anchored by government and PSU buyers, with international work now representing ~40% of the Rs 15,800 crore order book.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees (PMC, EPCM, FEED) and lump-sum/open-book EPC and turnkey contracts, with pricing negotiated per engagement scope. Supplementary revenue comes from certification and third-party inspection services through wholly-owned subsidiary CEIL, technology licensing (now extended globally via the Honeywell partnership), and dividend/joint-venture income from stakes in RFCL and NRL. FY26 revenue was Rs 3,928 crore (+27.2% YoY) with PAT of Rs 692 crore (+19.3%), and the company employs 2,600+ professionals across headquarters and 27 overseas locations including engineering hubs in Abu Dhabi and coordination offices in London, Milan, and Shanghai.
