What Kalpataru Projects International does

Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL) is a publicly listed Indian Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) company headquartered in Mumbai with a registered office in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Founded in 1975 and operating across 75+ countries, KPIL delivers large-scale infrastructure projects through eight core verticals: Power Transmission & Distribution (its anchor segment with 30,000+ km executed globally), Buildings & Factories, Water Infrastructure, Railways, Oil & Gas Pipelines, Urban Infrastructure, Manufacturing Plants (240,000 MT per annum tower capacity at Gandhinagar and Raipur), and Biomass Power (15.8 MW combined). Notable technical assets include an in-house R&D Centre recognized by India's Ministry of Science and Technology with tower testing up to 1,200 kV, one of the world's largest HDD pipeline construction fleets (60-360 tonne rigs), and specialized Kalpa-Vriksha Learning Centre for workforce development. Recent strategic additions include Green Hydrogen & Derivatives Solutions and Solar Power EPC offerings.

The company earns revenue primarily through one-time EPC project contracts awarded via competitive tendering with government utilities, multilateral-funded agencies (World Bank, ADB, Exim Bank), and private sector clients. Revenue is recognized over the project execution lifecycle across long-dated contracts, supplemented by modest recurring biomass power generation and a recent divestiture-driven monetization track record (e.g., Rs 775 Crore VEPL sale to Actis). GTM is enterprise-direct via competitive bidding, supplemented by joint venture and consortium arrangements for oversized projects (e.g., H.G. Infra JV for Rs 1,415 crore Thane metro viaduct). FY2025-26 consolidated revenue reached INR 27,143 Crores (+22% YoY) with record net profit of INR 1,031 Crores (+82% YoY), and the order book stood at INR 65,457 Crores with a stated FY27 inflow target of INR 30,000 Crores. Customer concentration is high-ticket and project-anchored, with marquee engagements including Mahatransco, Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation, Guyana Power and Light (US$199 million), and Whiteland Corporation (Rs 5,600 crore Westin Residences).
