Engineers India Limited (EIL) has been entrusted with providing consultancy services for the development of Indian standards for offshore safety training and certification, marking the company’s strategic entry into the diversified maritime sector.
The company announced the development in a press release dated November 4, 2026. The assignment is aimed at establishing standardised frameworks for safety training and certification in offshore operations, an important step towards strengthening safety practices and regulatory compliance in India’s growing offshore sector.
The engagement represents a significant expansion of EIL’s consultancy portfolio beyond its traditional strengths in oil and gas engineering. By applying its technical expertise in engineering, safety and project consultancy to maritime-related activities, the company is positioning itself to explore emerging opportunities across offshore energy and shipping.
The development of Indian standards for offshore safety training and certification is expected to contribute to greater uniformity in training practices, competency assessment and safety preparedness among personnel working in offshore environments.
The assignment also highlights the growing importance of specialised safety frameworks as India’s offshore energy and maritime industries expand. While the company has not disclosed the financial details of the consultancy engagement, the project marks an important step in EIL’s diversification strategy and its efforts to broaden its presence in emerging industrial sectors.
EIL’s entry into maritime safety consultancy could also open avenues for the company to participate in future initiatives involving offshore operational standards, technical assessments and safety-related consultancy services.
