The National Company Law Tribunal has approved the merger of JMC Projects (India) Ltd with Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd, making KPTL one of the largest publicly traded engineering and construction companies in the country.
The combined entity will have a significant presence in India and projects in 67 countries, with offerings in diversified areas of energy transmission and distribution, buildings and manufacturing, water, rail, oil and gas and heavy civil infrastructure. “The Ahmedabad Bench of National Company Law Tribunal today approved the amalgamation plan of JMC Projects (India) Ltd (JMC) with KPTL, leading to the creation of one of India's major listed diversified engineering and construction companies, with a combined order visibility of nearly Rs 43,000 crore,” a company statement said.
