What RD Engineering does

RD Engineering is a Mumbai-headquartered, privately held mechanical engineering firm founded in 1970 that operates as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) contractor and plant and machinery integrator. The company delivers turnkey projects across six integrated service lines: tanks and equipment, piping and erections, modular skid plants, electrical and automation, insulation, and structural steel. It maintains manufacturing facilities in Aurangabad (1,800 m² fabrication hub, established 1970), Goa (600 m², operational since 2025), and Boksburg, South Africa, with a regional operations office in Dubai, UAE, and a European facility scheduled in Nitra, Slovakia for 2026. Production capacity includes structural steel fabrication exceeding 250 tons per month, vessels up to 30 meters in length and 4 meters in diameter, and lifting capacity up to 30 tons, supported by CNC plasma cutting, robotic welding, automated bending, and orbital welding technologies.

The company serves seven process industry verticals—chemicals, food & beverage, personal care, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, and general manufacturing—with named enterprise customers including BASF, Shell, Total, Hindustan Unilever, ITC, PepsiCo, Hindustan Coca-Cola, Carlsberg, Diageo, GSK, Abbott, AkzoNobel, Reckitt Benckiser, Tetra Pak, Colgate-Palmolive, Cipla, Mylan, and Reliance Industries. RD Engineering reports 400+ projects completed across four continents and 200+ EPC projects delivered, with maximum project value of Rs. 75 crores (~$9M). Certifications include ISO 9001, ASME Section VIII, API 650, EN 13501, and ASTM E84, which qualify the company for regulated end markets.

Revenue is generated through project-based EPC contracts (categorized as one-time multi-year agreements), specialized equipment manufacturing under ISO/ASME/API standards, on-site construction and erection services, and ongoing maintenance and support. The go-to-market model is direct enterprise sales with dedicated project managers and technical leads, supported by long-term client relationships and referrals. No revenue, funding, valuation, or ownership data is publicly disclosed.
