In the industrial heart of Gujarat a new titan has emerged. KP Green Engineering recently inaugurated its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Matar, Bharuch, marking a pivotal shift in India’s heavy engineering landscape.
This isn’t just another factory; it is a 45-acre powerhouse designed to provide the physical skeleton for India’s green energy revolution. With a production capacity of 2.94 lakh tonnes per annum (TPA)—set to scale to over 4 lakh TPA by 2026—this facility effectively triples the company’s previous operational scale.
The “Asia’s Largest” Factor: Scaling the Unscalable
The crown jewel of the Matar facility is Asia’s largest galvanizing kettle, inaugurated by Bogolo Joy Kenewendo, Botswana’s Minister for Minerals and Energy.
- The Engineering Edge: Measuring a massive 56 cubic meters and capable of holding 1,100 tons of molten zinc, this kettle allows the company to hot-dip galvanize massive steel structures in a single pass.
- Durability for Decades: In the world of renewable energy—where solar structures and wind towers must withstand harsh environments for 25+ years—this superior galvanizing process ensures maximum corrosion resistance and structural longevity.
- Operational Excellence: With 22 integrated product lines, the facility moves from design to dispatch under one roof. By incorporating advanced CNC machinery and robotic welding, KP Green has eliminated the “outsourcing lag” that often delays large-scale infra projects.
Analysis: A Bridge to Global Markets (The Botswana Connection)
The presence of Botswana’s energy minister wasn’t merely ceremonial. KP Group recently signed a massive $4 billion (₹33,000+ crore) MoU with the Government of Botswana to develop renewable energy and transmission infrastructure.
The Matar plant is the engine room for this international expansion. By producing high-quality towers and mounting structures in India and exporting them to Africa and the Middle East, KP Group is transitioning from a domestic player to a global infrastructure architect.
Key Impact: The facility is expected to generate 6,000 to 7,000 direct and indirect jobs, contributing significantly to the local economy while supporting the National Green Hydrogen Mission through its integrated low-carbon processes.
Diversified Strength: Serving 5 Critical Sectors
The facility isn’t just about solar; it is a multi-sector utility hub:
- Renewable Energy: Solar module mounting structures (MMS) and wind lattice towers.
- Power Transmission: High-tension transmission line towers and substation structures.
- Telecom: Specialized towers for 5G rollout and rural connectivity.
- Transport Infrastructure: High-quality metal beam crash barriers for highways.
- Smart Cities: Pre-engineered buildings (PEB) for rapid urban development.
Financial & Strategic Outlook
As of late 2025, KP Green Engineering’s financial trajectory reflects this massive capital expenditure. With a 156% revenue growth in H1FY25, the market is beginning to price in the sheer volume this new facility will handle. For investors, the Matar unit represents the transition from a mid-cap fabricator to an industrial heavyweight with zero dependency on third-party manufacturers.
