Engineers India Seeks $1 Billion Gulf Projects to Bypass Strait of Hormuz
Engineers India Ltd (EIL), a state-run engineering and consultancy firm, is pursuing approximately $1 billion in projects over the next two to three years in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. These projects include building oil pipelines, strategic storage facilities, and marine infrastructure aimed at bypassing the Strait of Hormuz amid regional conflict. Chairman Atul Gupta noted that while the West Asia conflict has slowed some order inflows, it has also created new opportunities, with EIL involved in early planning stages and expecting increased orders if the situation stabilizes.
