Bajel-Projects-x-EETC
Bajel Projects Limited has signed an agreement with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for the construction of two sections of a 500 kV overhead transmission line in Egypt.

The contract covers Lot 1 and Lot 5 of the transmission line project and was formalised during a signing ceremony held in Cairo. The agreement was signed by Rajesh Ganesh, Managing Director and CEO of Bajel Projects, in the presence of senior government and industry representatives from India and Egypt, including India's Ambassador to Egypt, Suresh K. Reddy.

The combined order falls under the ultra-mega category, valued at over ₹400 crore, and forms part of a flagship national grid reinforcement programme aimed at strengthening Egypt's high voltage transmission backbone and enabling reliable power evacuation to support the country's growing economic and industrial demand.

Speaking on the occasion, Rajesh Ganesh, Managing Director & CEO, Bajel Projects Limited, said: "Winning these orders is a defining moment for Bajel Projects. Being entrusted with a 500 kV transmission corridor in the MENA region reflects the global confidence in our engineering capability, project execution rigour, and ability to deliver complex high-voltage infrastructure in international markets. This order strengthens our footprint in the MENA region."

The agreement further consolidates Bajel Projects' position as a trusted international EPC partner in the high-voltage transmission segment, complementing its strong domestic order book and recent international wins. It builds on the company's growing MENA presence, including its 50:50 joint venture with the Al Sharif Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the recently launched subsidiary in Abu Dhabi, UAE by the name of Bajel T & D PROJECTS AND CONTRACTING.
