KEC International Ltd. announced on Monday, February 24, that it has secured new orders worth ₹1,020 crore across various business segments. According to reports from CNBC TV18 and ETEnergyworld, the transmission and distribution (T&D) business won orders for 220/132 kV transmission lines, substations and extra-high voltage cabling in India under a composite contract, along with an additional order for a 400 kV transmission line in the international market. The cables and conductors business also secured orders for supply of various types of cables and conductors in India and overseas markets, including orders for the supply of towers, hardware, and poles in the Americas. As per multiple reports, these new orders are a positive indicator for KEC's future revenue visibility and growth prospects, with the substantial composite order in India's T&D segment particularly noteworthy, reinforcing the company's domestic market position.
With these latest wins, KEC International's year-to-date order intake now stands at ₹21,300 crore, as reported by CNBC TV18 and ETEnergyworld. Vimal Kejriwal, MD and CEO of KEC International, highlighted the significance of these new orders in the company's growth trajectory. The substantial order book demonstrates the company's strong market position and execution capabilities across multiple business segments. The ₹1,020 crore addition strengthens KEC's substantial order backlog, providing a clearer path for future revenue and enhancing customer diversification within the India T&D segment. According to the latest reports, the company's year-to-date order intake has crossed ₹17,000 crore, up about 17% from last year, indicating strong momentum in order acquisition. Kejriwal emphasized that these orders have significantly strengthened the T&D order book, led by the significant composite order secured in India T&D, with the addition further diversifying the customer mix in the India T&D order book.
During its third quarter conference call, KEC International executed five data centre projects across the country and is actively bidding for more projects, according to CNBC TV18 reports. Kejriwal indicated that the company should reach around ₹1,000 crore per annum of data centre revenue in the next couple of years, purely on the civil side. This represents a significant expansion into the growing data centre infrastructure market.
KEC International's strong order performance is supported by robust financial results, with the company reporting consolidated net profit of ₹160.75 crore in Q2 FY26, jumping 88.21% compared to the previous year. Revenue from operations rose 19.13% to ₹6,091.56 crore during the same period. As per the latest reports, these financial metrics demonstrate the company's operational efficiency and market positioning. The substantial order book provides visibility for sustained revenue growth and positions KEC competitively against major players like Larsen & Toubro, Kalpataru Projects International Ltd, and Sterlite Power Transmission Ltd in the T&D space.
KEC International shares were down 0.94% to ₹577.15 on NSE as of February 24, 2026, at 2:06 PM, following the latest order announcement, according to Angel One reports. The stock has declined 30% in the last six months, indicating mixed investor sentiment despite the company's strong order book performance and growth outlook. While KEC International faces certain challenges, including a nine-month ban by Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) in February 2026 and a GST adjudication order in December 2025, the company's ability to win orders across different geographies and segments positions it competitively against major players in the global EPC space.
