Engineers India Ltd (EIL) has won its largest ever consultancy contract for a 20 million tonne oil refinery in Nigeria.
The state-owned firm won a USD 139 million contract from Nigerian company Dangote Group to provide services for a refinery and polypropylene plant.
"EIL has formally entered into a contract with Dangote Oil Refining Company of Nigeria to render project management consultancy (PMC) and engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for implementing a grassroot 400,000 barrels per day refinery and 600,000 tons polypropylene plant in Lekki Free Trade Zone near Lagos," the company said in a statement.

It is now targeting overseas markets, especially in the Middle-East, Africa and South East Asia.
