ICRA anticipates that engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies will unlock ₹2 lakh crore in business opportunities over the next decade due to four key river interlinking (ILR) projects. The prioritized projects—Ken Betwa, Kosi-Mechi, Parbati Kalisindh Chambal, and Godavari-Cauvery—are expected to yield ₹80,000 crore in contracts within four years. Funded mainly by the central government, these initiatives aim to enhance irrigation and flood control. However, effective collaboration with state governments is essential for timely project execution, with the Ken Betwa project already underway.
