Desco Infratech Finishes Key Gujarat Cable Project
The successful completion of a 9,150-meter underground cable project by Desco Infratech Limited for a KP Group company in Hansot, Gujarat, marks a significant step. This project showcases the company's enhanced execution capabilities within the critical power and energy infrastructure sector and reinforces its strategic growth trajectory in India.
Strategic Significance

Further broadening its strategy, Desco Infratech signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in October 2025 for green hydrogen projects.
