While its core focus has historically been petroleum refineries and petrochemical complexes, the company has diversified into areas such as oil and gas processing, pipelines, fertilisers, metallurgy, and infrastructure.
Engineers India was incorporated as a government company to build domestic engineering capability for refinery and petroleum projects, reducing reliance on foreign consultants. Over the decades it has been associated with a large share of refining capacity built in India, working with public sector oil majors such as Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum, Hindustan Petroleum, and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation.
The company operates from its head office in New Delhi with a major engineering centre in Gurugram, along with regional and project offices across India and overseas. It also undertakes assignments in West Asia, Africa, and South-East Asia.
EIL is regarded as a key institution in India's hydrocarbon sector, having contributed to the engineering and project management of a substantial portion of the country's refining and petrochemical capacity. As a Mini Ratna and listed PSU, it is one of the principal Indian engineering consultancies in the energy sector.
