MEIL receives Rs 12,800 crore purchase order from NPCIL

Hyderabad, Apr 23 (UNI) Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Ltd. (MEIL) has formally received the Purchase Order for Rs 12,800 crore EPC contract from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) to construct two 700 MWe nuclear reactors—Kaiga Units 5 & 6—in Karnataka.

This project goes beyond engineering. It’s about contributing to a stronger, self-reliant India.
For MEIL, it’s a meaningful leap into a sector that plays a key role in powering the nation’s growth story.
The leadership of MEIL shared their heartfelt confidence in the team’s ability to deliver the project on time—while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, and care.
