SEPC Limited has secured a major INR 8,545.67 million EPC contract from Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) for the Pellet Plant BOP package at its IISCO Steel Plant in Burnpur, West Bengal, supporting SAIL's 4.08 Mtpa crude steel expansion.
Engineering services company SEPC Limited has secured a major contract worth INR 8,545.67 million from state-owned Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) for the execution of the Pellet Plant Balance of Plant (BOP), including civil and structural works, under Pellet Package-2. The order forms a crucial component of the 4.08 Mtpa crude steel expansion project at SAIL’s IISCO Steel Plant (ISP) located in Burnpur, West Bengal, India. The letter of acceptance (LoA) was issued on August 4, 2026, and stipulates an execution timeline of 32 months from the effective date of the contract.
Under the detailed scope of the contract, SEPC Limited will execute the Pellet Plant BOP including Civil & Structural (Pellet Package-2) for 4.08Mtpa CS Expansion of SAIL-ISP Burnpur as per LOA dated 04/08/2026. The contract conditions align with Tender No: PROJECTS/EXPN-C/PP/BOP/1220 dated October 10, 2025, alongside its subsequent corrigendum dated November 25, 2025, and mutually agreed technical and commercial deviations.
This development marks a significant milestone in India’s upstream metallurgy and heavy industrial engineering sector. Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a central public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Steel, is one of India’s largest steelmaking enterprises, operating integrated steel facilities across the country. SEPC Limited is an established engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solutions provider specializing in complex turnkey projects across infrastructure, process plants, and metallurgy. SAIL’s decision to award this high-value BOP work package reflects sustained public capital expenditure aimed at augmenting national raw material processing and crude steel capacities.
The execution of this project directly benefits the Indian steel manufacturing ecosystem, industrial construction sector, and regional economy in West Bengal. Upgrading the IISCO Steel Plant with modern pelletization capabilities reduces reliance on imported raw materials, optimizes blast furnace efficiency, and aligns with national strategic goals to enhance domestic steelmaking capacity. For industrial equipment suppliers, engineering sub-contractors, and local labor markets, the 32-month execution window provides continuous demand for specialized technical labor, structural steel materials, and industrial heavy machinery.
From a corporate and market perspective, securing this INR 8,545.67 million order significantly boosts SEPC Limited’s order book visibility and underscores its competitive standing in heavy industrial EPC execution. For SAIL, progressing the Burnpur expansion project reinforces its long-term strategy to modernise aging infrastructure and expand output capacity to meet rising domestic demand driven by nationwide infrastructure projects.
