RIL to Restructure Group EPC Resources

CEOInsights Team, IANS

The Board of Reliance Industries (RIL) approved a scheme of arrangement under which the EPC and infrastructure undertaking of Reliance Projects and Property Management Services (RPPMSL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RIL, is proposed to be demerged into RIL. This demerger, together with the existing EPC team in RIL, creates a focused EPC undertaking in RIL to cater to the needs of the group. Current EPC resources of RIL group are spread across different operating entities. RIL has a strong team of 4,000 engineers with proven expertise across engineering, procurement, project management, and construction. RPPMSL also has a team of 20,000 professionals.

The focused EPC undertaking will aggregate and synergise engineering capabilities and expertise of the group. The EPC undertaking will play a pivotal role in implementing RIL's large projects across O2C, New Energy and 5G roll-outs. The implementation of these mega projects will require significant mobilisation of global technology and EPC resources. Increasing
infrastructure spends across geographies in oil and gas, chemicals, telecom and renewable energy sectors is expected to drive significant demand for EPC resources.

The new EPC undertaking will facilitate internationalization by setting up EPC Centres of Excellence at strategic offshore locations. It will align with existing subsidiaries of RIL in US and Dubai, and also incorporate new subsidiaries in Singapore and the UK. These subsidiaries will enable faster mobilization of highquality talent and EPC resources in an increasingly constrained global EPC environment.
