RACI in India – History

A subsidiary Company of RACI srl Italy, our first major association with India began with the East West Pipeline of Reliance Industries Limited in 2007 to 2008.

Then came the Cairn Energy’s Barmer Salaya Pipeline , a 700kms continuously heated pipeline @ 70 deg C – considered the longest heated pipeline in the world built by Larsen & Toubro Limited.

With the success of 2 major hydrocarbon pipeline projects in India , we decided to set up a Company in India to meet the requirements of India, the region and West Asia.

After establishing a presence in India, we turned our attention to Public sector units and the major infrastructure development of the country.
