TKIL Industries: 75 Years of Engineering Excellence and Infrastructure Growth

Please introduce TKIL Industries and provide an overview of your products and services.

Mr. T.V.S.S Srinivas:

TKIL Industries has a proud legacy spanning more than 75 years, having been established in 1947, the same year India gained independence. Our journey began in Pune, Maharashtra, with a primary focus on the sugar industry, serving the region's extensive network of sugar mills.

Over the decades, we strategically diversified our operations. In 1976, we entered the mining sector, followed by expansion into the cement industry in 1980. Subsequently, we strengthened our presence in the energy sector, providing solutions for critical industrial requirements.

In recent years, TKIL has diversified further into future-focused sectors such as green hydrogen, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and ethanol production, aligning with India's sustainability and energy transition objectives.

In 2018, we strengthened our mining portfolio through the acquisition of a specialized company in the mining and aggregate crushing segment. This acquisition enhanced our capabilities in providing equipment and solutions that directly support infrastructure development.

At EXCON, our primary focus is on infrastructure-oriented solutions, as the equipment showcased here directly supports the construction and infrastructure sectors. In addition to engineering and project execution, TKIL also maintains a strong operations and maintenance (O&M) portfolio, managing plants across India. Today, we employ approximately 5,000 professionals working across various project locations nationwide.

Industrial Outlook:

How have government policies contributed to the growth of TKIL Industries?

Mr. T.V.S.S Srinivas:

India continues to depend significantly on coal-based thermal power generation, which remains a major contributor to the nation's energy mix. With the government's plans for substantial thermal power capacity additions in the coming years, coal production is steadily increasing.

Simultaneously, there is a strong emphasis on self-reliance and reducing dependence on imported coal. This has resulted in sustained growth in the mining sector, which directly supports many of TKIL's core business segments.

Another major growth driver is the government's focus on infrastructure development, particularly road construction initiatives led by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. These investments are generating opportunities throughout the infrastructure value chain.

TKIL is also expanding into new verticals such as ports and shipbuilding, with the objective of contributing to India's broader infrastructure and logistics ecosystem.

Additionally, the government's focus on sustainability, renewable energy, and hydrogen development has opened significant opportunities. We have already begun working in these sectors and are receiving encouraging inquiries for our emerging green energy solutions.

Industrial Outlook:

TKIL has been associated with EXCON for several years. How has your experience been, especially as EXCON celebrates 25 years?

Mr. T.V.S.S Srinivas:

TKIL has participated in EXCON for many years and has consistently received an excellent response from the exhibition. In previous editions, we showcased products such as the RBC 4000 Cone Crusher, demonstrating our engineering and manufacturing expertise.

As part of the TIS Group, Germany, we also host international stakeholders and business partners during the event, strengthening global collaboration and knowledge exchange.

EXCON continues to serve as an important platform for engaging with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders. The exhibition's increasing scale and reach provide valuable opportunities to showcase our innovations and strengthen industry relationships. We look forward to participating in future editions and leveraging the platform's continued growth.
