INDIA —EMS Limited has emerged as the lowest bidder (L-1) for a major urban sanitation contract awarded by the Directorate of Local Bodies, Government of Rajasthan. The project carries an estimated total value of INR 2.19 billion, inclusive of applicable taxes, and marks a significant expansion of the company's regional execution footprint across northern India.
The scope of work encompasses comprehensive sewerage and septage management works across six Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) located within the Ganganagar, Hanumangarh, and Churu districts of Rajasthan. Under the terms of the agreement, EMS Limited will undertake the design, construction, laying, jointing, testing, and commissioning of sewerage networks along with advanced Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). The engagement features an execution period of 18 months, complemented by a one-year defect liability period and 10 years of ongoing Operations & Maintenance (O&M) services.
EMS Limited is a water and wastewater infrastructure company specializing in turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services and long-term operational management for municipal and government entities across India. The Directorate of Local Bodies, Government of Rajasthan, serves as the state nodal authority responsible for urban governance, civic infrastructure development, and municipal administration across urban local bodies.
This award significantly strengthens the order pipeline for EMS Limited, building upon its solid order book position of INR 23.29 billion recorded at the end of June 2026. The continuous acquisition of high-value municipal contracts highlights the firm's competitive edge in securing large-scale public sanitation schemes, reinforcing its financial growth trajectory following strong sequential revenue performance.
From an industry perspective, the development underscores the Indian government's accelerated momentum toward modernizing urban sanitation networks and enhancing environmental sustainability under state-level civic mandates. As urban centers expand rapidly, public funding is increasingly directed toward multi-year infrastructure programs that integrate long-term maintenance frameworks to ensure operational longevity.
For investors and corporate stakeholders, the integration of a 10-year maintenance contract provides reliable recurring revenue streams and long-term revenue visibility beyond the initial EPC execution phase. EMS Limited's expanding market share in northern state markets demonstrates the growing preference among public procurement authorities for established contractors capable of delivering end-to-end wastewater management infrastructure.
