Mahindra Consulting Engineers Limited

What Mahindra Consulting Engineers Limited does

Artelia Consulting Engineers Ltd. (ACE), formerly Mahindra Consulting Engineers Limited, is a wholly-owned India-domiciled subsidiary of Artelia Group, an independent international engineering and project management group headquartered in France. Founded in 1992 and operating for over 33 years, ACE delivers multi-disciplinary engineering and project management services across the full project lifecycle — feasibility and strategic studies, master planning, detailed engineering, project management, construction supervision, and sustainability consulting. Its sector focus spans Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Industrial Parks, Agro and Rural Development, Area Development, Infrastructure, Industrial and Logistics Buildings, and Residential, Tourism and Cultural Buildings.

The firm serves a diversified clientele of governments, International Financial Institutions and multilateral agencies, and private sector leaders, with an active project footprint in more than 30 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Notable engagements include the Trans-Gambia Corridor SEZ Master Plan (which received Presidential Approval in May 2025) and engineering/project management services for VinFast's first EV manufacturing facility outside Vietnam, located in Tamil Nadu, India.

ACE's go-to-market is direct enterprise B2B engagement, with services delivered through project-based consulting contracts negotiated on a quote-by-project basis. Revenue mechanics are typical of professional services firms: long engagement cycles, milestone-based billing, and reliance on large anchor contracts. Recent strategic activity — including a collaboration with IIT-Madras (May 2025) and an APM–ACE organizational alignment under the reorganized Artelia Group (March 2026) — signals ongoing integration with the parent's global structure and incremental expansion into adjacent verticals such as EV manufacturing and applied research.
