In a milestone move, Tata Projects Limited (TPL), renowned for its pioneering contributions in the oil, gas, and hydrocarbon sector, successfully secured the Nitric Acid Expansion Project of the Dahej plant of Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. (DFPCL). This project entails the provision of comprehensive engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services, alongside Front End Engineering Design (FEED) responsibilities for offsites & utilities.

Nitric Acid serves as an excellent Building Block Chemical for multiple sectors, encompassing Fertilisers, Specialty Chemicals, and Mining Chemicals. This collaboration is a monumental move towards sustainable growth of India’s key sectors and will be a case to consider for enhancing production capacity and reducing environmental impact as well as operational costs.

Tata Projects Limited (TPL) presented innovative methodologies & technological and risk-sharing measures to facilitate predictable project delivery of the PSPs at the national level workshop on the "Standardisation of Technical Specification for Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs)” at the Power Management Institute (PMI) in Noida.

Organized by NTPC Limited & Central Electricity Authority, the workshop addressed policy frameworks, innovative construction methodologies, and technical insights for standardizing electro-mechanical equipment, aiming to enhance PSP development and grid stability across the country. Experts from Tata Projects highlighted innovative methodologies & technological and risk-sharing measures that will facilitate predictable project delivery of the PSPs.

We are excited to announce two new transformational programs under our latest corporate initiative:
Nirman Nayak and Skill Shakti.

Nirman Nayak: Aimed at extending workforce supply and enhancing capabilities in the construction sector, this program offers frontline supervisors an opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Vocational (B. Voc.) degree in Building Construction and Technology from Kalinga University.

Skill Shakti: This initiative focuses on upskilling on-site labourers and the local workforce, transforming unskilled individuals into semi-skilled workers with enhanced employability.

Key Benefits:
  • Empowering Workers: Comprehensive training and education.
  • Career Advancement: Opportunities for higher positions and better-paying jobs.
  • Accredited Certification: Enhancing employability.
  • Financial Support: Free reimbursement and stipends.
These programs are powered by partnerships with the Construction Industry Development Council (CIDC), Kalinga University, and GRM Varalakshmi Foundation. Current implementations are underway at NIAL, Micron, BDD Chawl, Kevadia - Ginger & Vivanta, CMRL, TCS Noida, and AMNS Hazira.

TPL Trinetra: In todays world data is the new gold. To make timely decisions and to resolve issues in real-time is the need of the hour. In view of this, Tata Projects Limited (TPL) has successfully launched and implemented TPL Trinetra: three digital reality capture services represented by the Three Digital Eyes: Artificial Intelligence-powered cameras for Construction Analytics, a 360° photo/video tool for Digital Surveillance, and Construction Drone photography for Progress monitoring, leading to faster and safer projects. This ensures real time progress reports, quick resolution of bottle-necks and AI empowered monitering for basic security, safety, and progress measures.

MTHL, India’s longest sea bridge did not only set milestones with its length, but also with the pioneering use of OSDs (Orthotropic steel Decks) in India. With a length of 180 meters, the OSD span applied here is the world's longest, necessitating advanced manufacturing technology and rigorous quality control. Manufactured off-site, the OSD minimizes on-site work, reducing construction time and safety risks. The fewer piers and shorter construction period also lessen the environmental impact. The deck segments, divided into six to eight blocks weighing up to 30 MT, were shipped in 33 batches. These blocks were assembled on-site into erection units up to 180 meters long and weighing around 2,600 MT. They were then transported via Self Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) to a temporary jetty, loaded onto a special barge with lifting towers, and lifted onto the piers using strand jacks before being towed to the erection location.
