RInfra wins Rs.60-bn thermal power projects

Reliance Infrastructure (RInfra) has recorded order wins worth Rs.60 billion in its engineering, procurement and construction segment. The company won an EPC contract for Rs.36.47 billion from Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation for balance of plant package and allied civil works for the 2x800 Mw supercritical coal-based Uppur Thermal Power Project. In addition, it has also recorded winning of contracts from NTPC and two other road EPC projects from National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). The past few years saw RInfra limit its exposure to the EPC business, with a larger focus on the infrastructure segment, where the company invested in road construction ownership. Its order book in September last year stood at Rs.56.35 billion, which the company recently claimed that it has touched Rs.150 billion, said an official spokesperson.
