McNally Bharat Engineering Company Ltd (MBE) joint venture firm in Oman has bagged $ 315 million (about Rs 2048 crores) for a bitumen refinery project in that country. “McNally Bharat Engineering, through its recently formed 50:50 special purpose vehicle (SPV) with EMC Group of Oman, received a contract for construction, detailed engineering, construction supervision, mechanical commissioning and supply for a value of $ 315 million (Rs 2048 crores approximately) from Sohar Bitumen LLC in Oman for its bitumen refinery in Sohar, Muscat, Oman,” said MBE in a BSE filing.
 
The share of MBE in the said order will be $ 157 million (Rs 1024 crores approximately). The delivery period of the project is 24 months from the date of receipt of advance from the customer.
