Thapar Intrafor Company of India
Limited ("TICIL" or "Division")
In 1954, KCT formed a JV with Intrafor Cofor of
France, called Thapar Intrafor Cofor India Limited,
for developing deep mines.
The knowledge, expertise and experience
acquired in the coal mining industry,
supplemented by sophisticated technology from
Intrafor Cofor of France made TICIL an
acknowledged leader not only in mining but also
in hydro-projects that use similar underground
methods of tunnelling and construction. In 1983,
this JV Company was merged with KCT and emerged
as the construction arm of the Company
specialising in underground works.
Over the past 36 years, TICIL has undertaken
major shaft-sinking works and has executed
numerous hydroelectric projects. In the field of
hydropower, TICIL has emerged as one of the
premier construction agencies successfully
completing several major projects of National
importance in India.
