The plant engineering services market is witnessing significant growth, driven by government policies and investments in manufacturing infrastructure. Initiatives like Make in India have fueled the growth of companies like Shiv Sulphuric Solutions (OPC). Founded in December 2016 by Shiv Shukla, the company leverages his 30+ years of expertise in chemicals, solar, energy, and water, including two decades in top management and CXO roles. The company, headquartered in Mumbai, has established itself as a key player in the EPC sector.
"In the fertilizer sector, there has been a shift from a focus on nitrogen based fertilizers like urea to phosphate fertilizers due to policy changes promoting self-reliance and reducing imports. As manufacturing expands, the demand for plant engineering services has risen, with companies like ours playing a key role in supporting this growth through technology and engineering solutions", says Shiv Shukla, Founder & CEO, Shiv Sulphuric Solutions.
Engineering Excellence
Shiv Sulphuric Solutions specializes in consulting and engineering services for managing quality and engineering challenges, with a collective expertise of 100 man-years in the design and execution of sulphur-based chemical plants. As the leading provider of Sulphuric acid production technology, it has strategically positioned itself as a niche player, focusing on high value expertise rather than commodity engineering. They have developed an ecosystem that leverages partnerships with larger engineering firms for
detailed bulk work, enabling them to concentrate on specialized roles like technology selection and project execution for major clients such as IFFCO, Coromandel International, and the Birla Group's Paradeep Phosphates.
Drawing parallels with industry giants like EIL and PDIL, the company plays a pivotal role as a technical advisor in the sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid sectors. Their expertise extends to pollution control, waste-tovvalue solutions like fluoro silicic acid production, and specialized phosphoric acid processes. This targeted approach allows the company to maintain a lean team of specialists while delivering high impact solutions to the fertilizer and chemicals industries.
The company's USP lies in its deep technological expertise and extensive knowledge of technical systems, setting it apart from competitors in the Sulphuric acid industry. Unlike rivals that evolved from capital goods manufacturing units, this company is led by technocrats with years of experience designing and executing projects for major U.S. firms. Their team, trained in leading global companies, brings a nuanced understanding of technology and cultural integrity.

They focus on open-source technologies for processes like Sulphuric acid production, adhering to IP norms, and guiding clients to licensed IP holders when necessary. The company has also developed its proprietary simulator software and unique design methodologies, adding value to its solutions. Competitors often struggle with scalability and troubleshooting complex configurations, which this company excels in due to its technological depth. Operating in a niche market specialized for large companies, the company thrives by providing tailored services for plant design and technical solutions without competing with industry giants.
The company adopts a deliberate growth strategy, prioritizing quality and brand integrity over rapid expansion. It emphasizes controlled growth by introducing new products or services to existing clients and offering proven solutions in new geographies. For example, leveraging its expertise in pollution control technologies for Sulphuric acid plants, the company has expanded its presence to international markets, including Africa and the Middle East. "Despite challenges like managing a dispersed client base and adapting to remote work during the pandemic, we have tripled our turnover over the past five to six years. We remain committed to steady, sustainable growth, ensuring exceptional service delivery while exploring strategic markets and expanding our offerings within our domain expertise", concludes Shiv Shukla.
