Recently the company has garnered orders worth Rs 90 crores from Haldia Petrochemicals (HPL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL). TheHPL order for supplying Distributed Control Systems and Smart Transmitters to its turnkey contractors would pave the way for working with players like L&T, Technimont ICB and Toyo Engineering. The HPCL contract is a turnkey contract for the off-site automation of its Oil Movement and Storage (OM&S) systems at its Mahul refinery. The contract being for a running refinery would set a new industry trend in automation and control for the hydrocarbon processing industry. The OM&S systems market in the country is bound to grow to Rs 300 crore over the next few years. THL would be well advised to capitalise on this business opportunity as it would have a headstart in this area.
