Tractebel Engineering, part of GDF Suez Energy Services, has acquired Chennai-based Cethar Consulting Engineers (CCE).
Tractebel Engineering will integrate the operations of CCE with its Indian subsidiary.
The acquisition thus makes Tractebel a key player in the thermal power sector in India and increases its portfolio of offerings in Gas Pipelines, LNG, Hydro Power and T&D sectors.
CCE is an ISO 9001:2008 certified consultancy organization, and has provided Engineering Consultancy services for numerous IPP and captive power plants, both, in India and abroad.
