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.
This is the largest ever single consultancy assignment for EIL.
Set up in 1965 with the mandate of providing indigenous technology solutions across the hydrocarbon value chain, EIL has diversified into mining and metallurgy, fertiliser, power and infrastructure sectors.
It is now targeting overseas markets, especially in the Middle-East, Africa and South East Asia.
