PMPL has tied up with well proven technology partners for professional support for service and supply in installing these FGDs, the firm added.

With the projected revenues flowing in from FGD system projects, we expect to enjoy sustainable fiscal margins In the future and also ensure augmenting O&M footprint in the near future.”
