Power Mech Projects has disclosed a ₹327.35 crore operations and maintenance order from Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited for power facilities at Lanjigarh in Odisha’s Kalahandi district. The value excludes GST, and the contract period is 48 months, according to its exchange filing dated 19 October 2026.
Contract scope at a glance
The award brings together two defined service responsibilities: full operation and maintenance of a 130-MW plant, and balance-of-plant services for a separate 90-MW cogeneration plant.
| Facility | Service mandate |
|---|---|
| 130-MW plant 2 × 50 MW + 1 × 30 MW |
End-to-end operation and maintenance |
| 90-MW cogeneration plant | Operation and maintenance of balance-of-plant systems |
Balance of plant refers to supporting plant systems. Keeping the two scopes separate gives industrial readers a clearer view of the work entrusted to Power Mech.
A four-year industrial-services mandate
The award gives Power Mech a defined customer mandate at an established industrial location. Its significance lies in the continuing engineering work required to operate and maintain power infrastructure over a multi-year period.
For Odisha, this highlights an important part of the industrial economy beyond new construction: the specialist services that support existing assets throughout their operating lives. Plant operations, maintenance and supporting engineering systems form part of that ongoing activity.
For industrial decision-makers, the useful detail is the combination of contract duration, service responsibility and customer location. Together, these provide a more meaningful picture of the mandate than the headline order value alone.
Commercial context
The ₹327.35 crore is the disclosed value of the 48-month service order, excluding GST. The awarding entity is Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited, and Power Mech describes the award as a domestic, non-related-party transaction.

What to watch next
Service commencement, mobilisation and subsequent company reporting will show how the four-year mandate progresses into execution and revenue recognition. These are the practical milestones for following the contract’s contribution to Power Mech’s business.
