ROAD AHEAD
The EPC industry, especially within the Transmission & Distribution (T&D) segment, continues to be on the cusp of a transformative Super Cycle of growth. With the momentum gained over the past year, FY 2025-26 is poised to witness a further acceleration, fueled by a powerful convergence of domestic reforms, infrastructure investments, and global sustainability imperatives. This positions the sector for sustained scalability, innovation, and long-term capital inflows.
Key Domestic Catalysts Driving Continued Growth:1. Execution of Long-Pending Infrastructure Projects:
Projects that were previously delayed due to policy or financial bottlenecks are now moving into advanced stages of execution, releasing pent-up demand and enabling greater order visibility for EPC players.
2. Surging Power Demand Across Sectors:
With continued industrial expansion, digitalization, and urban growth, power demand is expected to rise steadily—requiring robust grid infrastructure and uninterrupted energy flow.
3. Next-Generation Grid Expansion & Modernization:
Strategic investments are now directed toward smart grids, digital substations, and automation technologies to enhance reliability, scalability, and resilience.
4. Faster Renewable Energy Integration:
India's energy transition is accelerating. With ambitious solar, wind, and hybrid targets, grid upgrades are imperative to ensure stable evacuation of intermittent green power.
5. Strengthened Decarbonization and Net-Zero Commitments:
The alignment of India's GDP growth with its sustainability roadmap is reinforcing structural support for T&D expansion, especially in green corridors and carbon-efficient technologies.
6. Improved Financial Health of SEBs and DISCOMs:
Continued policy thrust on reforming SEBs and DISCOMs is translating into improved liquidity, timely payments, and greater operational discipline—benefiting EPC contractors significantly.
Global Tailwinds Strengthening the EPC Growth Trajectory:
a. Uptick in Global T&D Investment:
• Annual global T&D investment is expected to surpass USD 550 billion, creating unprecedented opportunities for Indian EPC firms with global aspirations.
b. Grid Modernization & Cross-Border Interconnections:
• Nations are upgrading legacy grids to support clean energy, enhance grid flexibility, and enable regional power sharing—boosting international EPC demand.
c. Clean Energy Push Driving EPC Relevance:
• The global shift toward renewables makes T&D infrastructure a backbone of the energy ecosystem, placing EPC companies at the heart of transition strategies.
d. ESG-Aligned Capital and Green Finance:
• Large-scale global funds are actively channeling capital into sustainable infrastructure. EPC players aligned with ESG and green objectives are well-positioned to attract such funding.
e. Electrification & E-Mobility Adoption:
• The continued rise in electric vehicle adoption is pushing the need for robust and reliable grid and charging infrastructure, opening new frontiers for EPC interventions.
