Sembcorp Industries scours for growth overseas as local price pressures escalate

India is its next port of call.

Sembcorp Industries is placing its hopes on overseas projects for much-needed growth as local power price pressures intensify.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, India is Sembcorp Ind’s next growth platform as its two power assets in the power shortage-prone sub-continent are expected to grow by leaps and bounds.

India provides a welcome respite from the group’s troubles in Singapore, where acute power price pressures have caused spark spread to decline by 50% since 2013.

“SCI will continue to scour for opportunities abroad as the Singapore market saturates. In assessing projects, it has an IRR target of 10-20%. The higher end is required for higher-risk markets,” stated Maybank Kim Eng.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
