Eversendai Corporation Bhd secured RM1.1 billion in new contracts for projects in India, Singapore and Saudi Arabia, lifting its order book to a record RM6.7 billion, Public Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said.

Market Impact

The awards cover composite structural steel and civil works for DLF Downtown Taramani Block 4 & 5 in Chennai, a 19‑floor commercial tower in Mumbai, Singapore’s Founder’s Memorial and a motorsports complex in Saudi Arabia. Nanta made the announcement after visiting Eversendai’s steel fabrication plant in Sharjah, UAE.

Eversendai’s order book rose by RM1.1 billion in a single wave of awards, taking the total to RM6.7 billion. The prior record was not disclosed.

Nanta highlighted Eversendai’s role in iconic landmarks including the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Petronas Twin Towers and Merdeka 118. He pointed to the One Za’abeel project’s 228‑metre cantilever, The Linx, and said Building Information Modelling technology underpinned the execution of the complex structure.

The Sharjah plant produces 200,000 metric tonnes of steel annually and employs about 12,000 workers across seven fabrication plants in Malaysia, UAE, Qatar and India, Nanta said. Eversendai’s Executive Chairman, Tan Sri A.K. Nathan, said the company remains committed to showcasing Malaysian expertise through landmark projects worldwide.

The new contracts span supertall towers and infrastructure, reinforcing Eversendai’s position as a global steel and construction specialist.
