The engineering sector is the largest of the industrial sectors in India. It accounts for 27% of the total factories in the industrial sector and represents 63% of the overall foreign collaborations. Demand for engineering sector services is being driven by capacity expansion in industries like infrastructure, electricity, mining, oil and gas, refinery, steel, automobiles and consumer durables.
India’s engineering sector has witnessed remarkable growth over the last few years, driven by increased investment in infrastructure and industrial production. The engineering sector, being closely associated with the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, is of huge strategic importance to India’s economy.
Leapfrog Engineering Services Ltd is engaged in engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) with a specialised focus on electrical, instrumentation, fire safety, modular substation and automation systems.
It’s an integrated engineering services company that provides EPCC services for a wide range of industries, including Oil and Gas, Food processing, Pharma, Metals among others. With over 20 years of a strong, customer-focused approach and a continuous quest for outstanding quality, it has high capabilities across electrical, instrumentation, automation, fire protection, modular substation and project execution.
Strong Order Book
Leapfrog Engineering Services Ltd has consistently achieved and maintained a robust order book by focusing on its core competencies and successfully securing new projects across diverse segments. As of the date of the DRHP, the company’s order book includes a diverse range of projects across multiple states in India and international markets.
As of 10/01/2025, the company has an outstanding order book of ₹275.0032 crores, comprising domestic orders worth ₹26.9556 crores and export orders worth ₹248.0476 crores.
Diversified Portfolio Across Various Market Segment
The company serves a wide array of market segments, including Oil & Gas, Metals & Minerals, Mining, Pharmaceuticals, Power, Telecommunications, and Food Processing.
This extensive diversification ensures that downturns in one sector are offset by stability and growth in others, thereby maintaining consistent revenue streams and overall business performance. Additionally, its strong presence in both domestic and international markets further enhances its resilience.
Established Track Record of Timely Execution
With over decades of experience of the company’s promoters and senior management, it has successfully executed a diverse range of EPC Design and Build projects since 2005.
This proven track record underscores its expertise in project management and execution, driven by a skilled workforce, efficient deployment of equipment, and an integrated in-house operational model. These strengths enable it to consistently deliver projects within, and often ahead of, scheduled timelines.
The company currently operates both its registered office and assembly unit from leased premises. As these facilities are not owned but taken on lease, they present a potential risk to our business and, in turn, to the company’s investors.
The leases on these premises may be terminated for reasons beyond the company’s control, which could necessitate relocation or potentially even result in a temporary halt to its operations.
EPCC projects are typically awarded to us on satisfaction of prescribed pre-qualification criteria and following a competitive bidding process. The company’s business and its financial condition may be adversely affected if new infrastructure projects are not awarded to it or if contracts awarded to it are prematurely terminated.
The company’s export revenue is significantly concentrated in Middle Eastern markets, with Kuwait being a primary contributor. This reliance exposes it to regional economic fluctuations, political instability, and regulatory changes that could disrupt its revenue flow from these key markets.
Any downturn or unexpected policy shift in these countries such as new import restrictions, currency instability, or trade barriers could immediately impact its financial stability.
