BMW Ventures secures ₹36-crore BHEL order, signals move into large infrastructure projects

Eastern India-based steel distributor and fabricator BMW Ventures Limited has secured its largest-ever fabricated steel products order worth ₹36 crore from state-run engineering major Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited , marking a significant step in the company’s push into large industrial and infrastructure projects.

The order, part of a wider ₹141-crore opportunity, is expected to be executed over the next 10–12 months and strengthens the company’s transition toward higher-value fabrication work. Company officials say the contract enhances visibility in long-cycle industrial projects and reflects increasing participation in the structural steel ecosystem linked to power, transport and industrial construction.

Following the new mandate, the firm’s fabricated steel order book has risen to 8,805 tonnes , up 49% from the level reported at the end of December 2025. The growth highlights rising demand for engineered structures such as pre-engineered buildings and railway girders , which are gaining popularity due to faster installation timelines and cost efficiencies.

Industry analysts note that contracts from public-sector companies such as BHEL typically involve stringent quality checks and complex engineering requirements. As a result, successful execution can improve a supplier’s credibility and help it compete for larger national infrastructure projects.

Managing Director Nitin Kishorepuria said the company’s backward integration strategy helps reduce exposure to volatile steel prices , providing clients with cost certainty and reliable delivery schedules. This integrated sourcing and fabrication model, he added, is becoming an important differentiator as project developers seek dependable supply chains.

The order also supports BMW Ventures’ broader strategy to increase the share of higher-margin products in its portfolio. Fabricated steel offerings generally provide stronger margins than traditional distribution, improving profitability and cash flows over time. The company has already raised its FY26 bottom-line growth guidance to 30–35% , citing stronger demand and improved execution visibility, and expects similar momentum in FY27 .

Headquartered in Patna, BMW Ventures has evolved from a regional distributor into a value-added steel solutions provider with fabrication facilities and a network of stockyards serving multiple districts across eastern India. The company’s expansion aligns with rising infrastructure spending across railways, industrial corridors and power projects in the region.

However, analysts caution that large contracts can expose firms to execution risks , including commodity price swings, project delays and working-capital pressures. Timely delivery and cost management will therefore remain critical as BMW Ventures scales its participation in large-format industrial projects.
