What GVK Industries Ltd does

GVK Industries Limited is a Hyderabad-based Indian conglomerate historically operating across power generation, transportation (roads and expressways), airports, and natural resources (coal mining, oil and gas exploration, rail and port infrastructure). The group was founded on the back of India's first independent power plant and developed the country's first six-lane expressway under a public-private partnership model, at peak operating over 2,400 MW of power capacity, approximately 1,500 lane-km of expressways, and airport assets at Mumbai (CSIA), Bangalore (KIA), and Navi Mumbai (NMIAL) in India, plus Yogyakarta and Bali in Indonesia. Its resources vertical included coal mining (Alpha Coal and Kevin's Corner in Australia; Tokisud North and Seregarah in India), a multi-user rail and port system in Queensland connecting to Abbot Point, and a 2008-vintage oil and gas exploration joint venture with BHP Billiton covering 35,000 sq km of deepwater blocks off India's west coast. The group also previously operated GVK BIO (a contract research organization) and continues to operate GVK EMRI 108 emergency services as a CSR initiative.

The business model has historically been infrastructure project development, EPC execution, and long-term concession operation under government-awarded PPP contracts, with revenue derived from power purchase agreements, airport tariffs, toll collection, and mining offtake arrangements. The company monetized the airports business in 2021 following a 2019 investment of Rs 7,614 crore from ADIA, PSP Investments, and NIIF into the airports holding company. As of the most recent reporting, GVK Industries Limited is in liquidation with assets being disposed of via e-auction, GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited (GVKPIL) is under Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) admitted by NCLT on 12 July 2024, and GVK Energy Limited is in CIRP from July 2025 with the NCLAT rejecting a stay on proceedings on 7 July 2025. FY2025-26 revenue collapsed to Rs 80.53 crore (an 89.96% year-on-year decline) with Q4 FY26 reporting zero sales, reflecting the wind-down of operating activities across the group.
