History
BGR Energy Systems (BGRESL) was originally incorporated in 1985. The company started as a joint venture between GEA Energietechnik GmbH, Germany, and the promoter, B. G. Raghupathy, to produce and sell online condenser tube cleaning systems, debris filters, and rubber cleaning balls used in thermal and nuclear power plants.
In 1993, Raghupathy and members of his family became the sole shareholders of the company and began to expand the range of products and services in the power and oil & gas industries. On 28 June 2007, the company's name was changed from GEA Energy System (India) to BGR Energy Systems Limited.
BGR Energy carries on business in two segments: the Supply of systems and Equipment and Turnkey Engineering project contracting.
The company executes contracts to supply the Balance of Plant (BOP) Equipment, Services, and Civil works for Power Generation projects, where it provides, from a single source, the balance of the plant (BOP), which includes items other than the boiler, turbine, and generator ( BTG). The company is currently executing BOP and EPC contracts tailored to customers' demands. It also has an infrastructure business intended to provide construction services and technology-oriented projects to the infrastructure sector.
It was listed on 3 January 2008, with the issue price fixed at ₹480 per share. The offering was heavily oversubscribed 120 times, according to NSE sources. The net proceeds of the issue were intended to augment long-term working capital requirements, expand production capacity by establishing additional manufacturing facilities in India, China, and the Middle East, and fund expenditures for general corporate purposes.
