Kolkata, September 23, 2026: Skipper Limited has secured new orders worth ₹797 crore across domestic and international power transmission and distribution (T&D) markets, strengthening its position in high-voltage transmission infrastructure.
The new orders include export contracts for transmission towers and monopoles for power T&D projects in Australia, as well as a 765 kV transmission line project in India from a domestic developer.
The order wins come as power networks globally require continued investment in transmission infrastructure to support growing electricity demand and the expansion of generation capacity.
Skipper Strengthens High-Voltage Transmission Portfolio
Skipper said the newly secured orders span both domestic and international markets and reinforce its focus on technically complex transmission projects.
The order book includes:
- Transmission towers and monopoles for power T&D projects in Australia
- A 765 kV transmission line project awarded by a reputed domestic developer
- Combined new orders worth ₹797 crore
The Australia orders mark continued momentum for Skipper in developed international markets, while the domestic 765 kV project strengthens its presence in India’s high-voltage transmission segment.
Australia Emerges as a Key International Market
Skipper highlighted Australia as one of the developed markets where its international business is gaining traction.
The company supplies high-voltage transmission structures and solutions, including towers and monopoles, for power transmission and distribution projects.
According to Sharan Bansal, Director, Skipper Limited, the latest international wins reflect the company’s focus on technically demanding projects and its expanding presence in developed markets such as Australia.
The company sees its capabilities in high-voltage transmission structures as an opportunity to participate in larger and more complex infrastructure projects internationally.
765 kV Transmission Project Adds Domestic Momentum
Alongside its international business, Skipper has secured a 765 kV transmission line project from a domestic developer.
Ultra-high-voltage transmission infrastructure plays an important role in moving electricity across long distances and strengthening transmission networks.
For India, the development of higher-voltage transmission infrastructure is particularly relevant as the country’s electricity system continues to expand and integrate new generation capacity.
Skipper’s latest domestic order therefore adds to its exposure to India’s evolving power transmission infrastructure market.
Focus on Technically Complex T&D Projects
Skipper manufactures structures for power transmission and distribution and is also an EPC player in the 765 kV transmission segment.
The company said the latest orders further diversify its order portfolio while supporting its strategy of increasing its presence in developed international markets.
Commenting on the order wins, Sharan Bansal, Director, Skipper Limited, said:
“The receipt of new orders aggregating to ₹797 crore across both domestic and international markets further strengthens our presence in higher-voltage transmission infrastructure and reinforces our focus on technically complex T&D projects.”
He added that the company was encouraged by the growth of its international business, particularly in markets such as Australia, and that its capabilities in high-voltage transmission structures and solutions provide opportunities to participate in larger and more technically demanding projects.
What the Orders Mean for the Energy Infrastructure Market
The latest contracts highlight the growing importance of transmission and distribution infrastructure in the broader power-sector transition.
As electricity systems become more complex, transmission networks need to accommodate changing generation patterns and increasing demand. High-voltage infrastructure can play a critical role in connecting generation with demand centres.
For companies such as Skipper, this creates opportunities across both domestic grid development and international transmission markets.
The combination of a 765 kV domestic project and Australian export orders also reflects the company’s strategy of building a diversified T&D portfolio across geographies.
Skipper’s International Expansion
The Australian contracts represent another step in Skipper’s efforts to expand its presence in developed international markets.
The company said its international business is gaining momentum, with Australia emerging as one of the markets where its developed-market strategy is showing traction.
By supplying transmission towers and monopoles for overseas projects, Skipper is expanding the geographic reach of its high-voltage infrastructure capabilities.
The Bigger Picture
Skipper’s ₹797 crore order win underscores the importance of transmission infrastructure in a rapidly evolving global power system.
While renewable generation and energy storage receive significant attention in the energy-transition conversation, the ability to transmit and distribute electricity efficiently remains fundamental to the expansion of modern power networks.
With new projects in India and Australia, Skipper is looking to deepen its role in this infrastructure layer while expanding its presence in technically demanding international markets.
