The Shapoorji Pallonji Group, a leading infrastructure conglomerate, is preparing to expand its European footprint through the awaited formal award of three major infrastructure projects in Croatia. These contracts together exceed ₹11,300 crore (approximately €1.3 billion) and mark a significant boost to the group’s international portfolio.

Key Developments

In early October 2025, the group announced it is in the final stages of securing these projects, which align with the European Union’s agenda for enhancing connectivity and sustainable infrastructure. These projects span multiple sectors, including:

• Transportation
• Urban development

Successful completion will increase Shapoorji Pallonji’s share of international orders from its current 12%, while also stimulating economic growth and employment in Croatia.

Stakeholders

Shapoorji Pallonji Group, based in India, aims to diversify and expand internationally through these bids. The official awarding will be made by Croatian government authorities responsible for infrastructure and development. Additionally, European Union funding bodies such as the Regional Development Fund and Cohesion Fund indirectly support these initiatives.

European and Local Reactions

Although direct comments from EU institutions are pending, these developments align with the EU’s broader goals of economic cohesion and sustainable development among member states. The Croatian Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning has expressed optimism, emphasizing the importance of these projects for national development and meeting EU infrastructure standards.

Next Steps

1. Formal awarding of contracts by Croatian authorities, expected in the coming months.
2. Mobilization of projects by Shapoorji Pallonji, including on-site preparations and resource allocation.
3. Publication of detailed project timelines, with phased completions over several years.
4. Ongoing coordination with EU bodies for regulatory and environmental compliance during execution.

This expansion serves as a strategic move to solidify Shapoorji Pallonji’s market position in Europe and significantly diversify its international portfolio.
