History of Shapoorji Pallonji Group -

140 years ago Mumbai was largely an uninhabited cluster of islands. To fulfill the water supply needs of the city a reservoir was built, in the famous Malabar Hills. Not only did the reservoir sustain the needs of Mumbai for the next 100 years, it also witnessed the growth of Mumbai as the Commercial Capital of India.

The reservoir was built by a company called Littlewood Pallonji & Co., which today is Shapoorji Pallonji Co. & Ltd. one of the leading construction giants in India and abroad.

Over the next hundred years, the company’s expertise has been repeatedly showcased on projects which involved a major advance in construction technology or whose size was beyond the capacity of most others. Blessed with a rich legacy and heritage, it has marched into the new millennium with modern management skills, state-of-the-art technology and the ideals of innovation and customer satisfaction.

Over time, Shapoorji Pallonji has built diverse civil and structural engineering masterpieces like factories, nuclear research establishments, nuclear waste handling, scientific and research establishments, stadia and auditoria, airports, hotels, hospitals, giant skyscrapers, housing complexes, townships, water treatment plants, roads, expressways, power plants and biotech facilities.
