Project Scope and Client Details
SEPC Limited's unincorporated joint operation, SEPC-Furlong JV, has entered into a significant EPC sub-contract with Shalimar Corp Limited (SCL). The contract entails the widening and upgradation of the Shahjahanpur to Bisalpur section in Uttar Pradesh to a four-lane configuration. Executed on a lump-sum turnkey basis, the total consideration for this Letter of Award (LOA) stands at ₹521.46 crore.
This project represents a critical infrastructure development for the region, aimed at improving connectivity and traffic flow through modern engineering standards. The client, Shalimar Corp Limited, is a prominent Lucknow-based real estate and infrastructure player involved in large-scale state developments.
Business Impact and Pipeline Strength
This ₹521.46 crore win provides a substantial boost to SEPC Limited’s order book, particularly considering its trailing twelve-month (TTM) operating revenue of ₹898.47 crore. The project’s scale represents approximately 58% of the company's annual revenue, offering high visibility for future earnings and operational utilization. By securing this sub-contract through a joint venture, SEPC demonstrates its capability to handle large-scale road infrastructure projects.
This success in the highway segment complements the company’s existing expertise in water and process engineering, diversifying its project portfolio across critical infrastructure verticals in North India.

Sector Context and Strategic Outlook
SEPC Limited operates in the Construction and Engineering sector, specializing in turnkey solutions for water infrastructure, process and metallurgy, and power segments. The Indian infrastructure sector is currently witnessing strong tailwinds from government spending on road networks and highway upgradation. By participating in the Shahjahanpur-Bisalpur project, SEPC is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the civil engineering market.
While the company faces competitive dynamics in the engineering space, its successful delivery of complex industrial projects and recent revenue momentum suggest a focus on high-value execution and scaling its infrastructure footprint.
