Likhitha Infrastructure has announced a dual strategy for Middle Eastern growth: incorporating a new wholly-owned subsidiary in Abu Dhabi and increasing its stake in Saudi-based Likhitha HAK Arabia Contracting Company to 90%. While the move signals a push into international oil and gas EPC markets, the Saudi target currently reports nil turnover, indicating an early-stage venture.
Likhitha Infrastructure Expands Middle East Operations
- New Abu Dhabi subsidiary approved for oil and gas infrastructure projects.
- Ownership in Likhitha HAK Arabia Contracting Company increased from 60% to 90%.
Reader Takeaway: Strategic expansion into Middle East markets balances long-term growth potential against the startup-phase risks of the Saudi unit.
What just happened
Likhitha Infrastructure Limited held a board meeting on September 28, 2026, to solidify its international growth strategy. The company approved the creation of 'Likhitha Infrastructure Middle East LLC' in Abu Dhabi, UAE. This new entity will be a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services for the oil and gas sector. Simultaneously, the company is increasing its stake in its existing Saudi Arabian subsidiary, Likhitha HAK Arabia Contracting Company, from 60% to 90% by acquiring 150 shares from Arabian HAK Company Ltd for a consideration of up to SAR 525,000.
Why this matters
The Middle East is a key growth region for oil and gas infrastructure. By establishing a presence in Abu Dhabi and consolidating control in Saudi Arabia, Likhitha Infrastructure is positioning itself to capture regional demand for pipeline and refinery projects. The consolidation of the Saudi subsidiary suggests management is confident in the unit's long-term utility despite it currently having no commercial turnover.
Risks to watch
Investors should be aware that Likhitha HAK Arabia Contracting Company has reported nil turnover for the last three financial years (2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26). As a nascent entity, it has yet to demonstrate commercial viability. The successful scaling of these operations depends on securing government or private contracts within the competitive Middle Eastern energy sector.
What to track next
Watch for the official registration of the UAE subsidiary and the completion of the share transfer for the Saudi entity, which is expected within the next six months. Future filings regarding order book additions for these international units will be critical indicators of progress.
