Kalpataru Projects International Limited (KPIL), a leading player in the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) sector, has successfully raised Rs 1,000 crore through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP), marking its first equity raise in over ten years. This significant move is seen as a major step towards accelerating the company’s growth trajectory and strengthening its financial position in the global EPC market.
Founded over four decades ago, KPIL has emerged as one of India’s largest diversified EPC companies, with expertise in sectors such as power transmission, water supply, urban mobility, railways, and oil and gas pipelines. The company’s portfolio also includes projects in highways, airports, and buildings and factories, making it a well-rounded player in infrastructure development. This QIP issue attracted substantial interest from a wide range of institutional investors, including domestic mutual funds, foreign investment funds, and insurance companies, further validating KPIL’s business model and growth prospects.
Manish Mohnot, the Managing Director and CEO of KPIL, expressed his satisfaction with the overwhelming response to the QIP. He mentioned that the funds raised would bolster the company’s balance sheet, enhance its financial flexibility, and accelerate its expansion plans. This infusion of capital is expected to help KPIL tap into new growth opportunities, particularly in the fast-growing infrastructure and energy sectors.
With a presence in over 30 countries and a footprint spanning 75 nations, KPIL is well-positioned to continue its global expansion. The funds from this QIP will allow the company to take on more large-scale projects and enhance its capabilities in executing complex infrastructure and construction works.
In a competitive market, KPIL’s strategic approach to diversifying its portfolio and expanding into new regions has made it a sought-after name in the EPC industry. As it strengthens its financial position, KPIL is poised for continued growth, focusing on delivering value to its stakeholders while playing a key role in developing vital infrastructure across the globe.
