Kalpataru Projects International (KPIL) has secured new orders and a letter of comfort worth ₹2,225 crore, the company said on Tuesday, 13 October. The bulk of the orders, ₹2,031 crore, are in power transmission and distribution (T&D) in India and international markets. Its Swedish subsidiary Linjemontage i Grästorp AB won an additional ₹194 crore (SEK 200 million) order from Ellevio AB to refurbish and expand a 130 kV substation near Borlänge.
Managing director and CEO Manish Mohnot said the company has secured orders worth about ₹20,000 crore so far in FY27, a year-on-year growth of over 30%. KPIL shares opened at ₹1,442.95 and later traded lower at ₹1,397. The Swedish project is expected to run for three years, with final inspection scheduled for 15 October 2029.
All three outlets reported the same factual package from Kalpataru Projects International’s exchange filing, including the ₹2,225 crore total, the ₹20,000 crore FY27 order inflow, and the CEO’s quote about transmission investment, making this uniform straight reporting. Business Standard led with the Swedish subsidiary’s SEK 200 million contract details and timeline, including a final inspection date of 15 October 2029. CNBC-TV18 and Business Today instead opened with the stock’s early gain and subsequent fall, framing the news through share price reaction. Readers comparing the versions see that one story centres on project execution, the other two on market movement, yet none carries a slant. The common ground is the 30% year-on-year growth figure and the CEO’s characterisation of ‘favourable industry tailwinds’, which all three carry without comment.
