Sopan

What Sopan does

Sopan is a privately held Indian EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra. It delivers turnkey EPC and LSTK solutions, operations and maintenance (O&M), asset integrity management, equipment manufacturing, and wet-lease equipment services to the oil & gas, city gas distribution (CGD), refining, petrochemical, fertilizer, water, and emerging clean-energy sectors. The company operates three world-class manufacturing facilities — two in Kheda, Gujarat (90,000 sq.ft. and 80,000 sq.ft.) and one in Pune (12,000 sq.ft.) — producing hydraulic booster and reciprocating CNG compressors, CNG/CBG dispensers, gas utility skids, two- and three-phase separators, chemical dosing skids, H₂S and CO₂ removal systems, gas dehydration units, and IoT-enabled smart gas meters.

Sopan's technology stack is anchored by proprietary digital platforms: SOPAN CMS for real-time asset monitoring and predictive maintenance, MTeamz+ for digital service management and field ticketing, and COMPRETECH for smart compressor performance analytics. The company holds CCOE/PESO-accredited CNG cylinder hydro testing certification, API 527 SRV testing capability up to 300 bar(g), and NACE International-certified cathodic protection engineers — credentials that create regulatory entry barriers in Indian oil & gas services.

The business operates through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Sopan Process Tech (equipment manufacturing), Sopan O&M Co. (operations and maintenance), n3e Technologies (new energy — green hydrogen and biogas), and Sopan Energy Contracting LLC (international contracting). Revenue is generated across five streams: lump-sum/LSTK EPC project contracts (one-time), multi-year O&M service contracts (recurring, including 3,000+ km of pipeline maintenance), equipment sales, wet-lease rentals with trained manpower, and certified testing/certification services. Sopan maintains regional offices in Delhi and Ahmedabad, an international office in Abu Dhabi, and is recruiting for Nigeria-based business development. Headcount is reported in the 1,001-5,000 range with no public revenue or funding disclosure.
