He said, “With a robust order book and a sustained increase in tendering activities in the transmission and distribution (T&D) segment, we initiated our debottlenecking program to enhance our manufacturing capacities at some of our plants with low investment.

On completion of our Jabalpur plant expansion, our total capacities will go up from 4,22,200 MTPA to 4,68,200 MTPA (including the capacities of KEC’s facilities at Nagpur, Dubai, Jaipur and Jabalpur).”
