New Delhi | 28 October 2026: Engineers India Limited (EIL), India’s leading public-sector engineering consultancy and project management company, has secured a major international contract from Dangote Industries for a proposed 700,000 barrels-per-day (BPD) greenfield refinery and petrochemical complex in Kenya.
According to EIL, the project is part of the company’s strategy to expand its international footprint and diversify beyond its traditional hydrocarbons business. The contract will further strengthen EIL’s position as an Indian engineering and project-management partner for large-scale energy infrastructure projects overseas. Engineers India Limited
Major International Opportunity
The Kenya project is expected to be one of the significant refinery and petrochemical developments in East Africa. EIL will provide engineering and project-management expertise for the mega project, leveraging its experience in complex refinery and petrochemical developments.
The contract follows EIL’s earlier association with the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria, where the Indian PSU has played an important project-management and engineering role. The new Kenya assignment demonstrates the confidence placed in EIL’s technical capabilities and global execution experience. The Financial Express
EIL Expands Beyond Traditional Hydrocarbons

The company has described international expansion and diversification as key elements of its long-term growth strategy. Engineers India Limited
EIL reported its strongest-ever financial performance in FY 2025–26, supported by robust project execution, a record order book and growing international business.

Q2 FY27 Results on October 30
EIL’s Board of Directors is scheduled to meet on 30 October 2026 to consider and approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and half year ended 30 September 2026. The company has also indicated that its first interim dividend for FY 2026–27 may be considered at the meeting. Moneycontrol
The upcoming results will provide investors with a fresh view of EIL’s order-book execution, profitability and international business momentum during the first half of FY27.
The Worldonomics Times Insight
EIL’s Kenya refinery contract is significant not only for the company but also for India’s growing role in global engineering and infrastructure services. Large international projects can help Indian CPSEs generate foreign revenues, build global execution capabilities and showcase Indian engineering expertise in strategic sectors.
With its expanding presence in Africa, West Asia, renewable energy and other emerging sectors, EIL is increasingly emerging as a global engineering partner from India.
