About Us

A legacy born
out of friendship.

Established in 1927 as Wilson Electric Works by the Daruvala family, Sterling and Wilson was formed in 1971 with the Shapoorji Pallonji Group taking a 51% stake in the company. Till 1997 the company was mainly focused on the Mumbai and Delhi markets providing services for the entire HV (High Voltage) & LV (Low Voltage) Electrical Systems. In the initial years, the company had been associated with several prestigious projects that included Reserve Bank of India, World Trade center, New India Assurance, NCPA etc

Mr. Khurshed Daruvala joined his family business in 1997 and along with the new management team chalked out the growth plans for Sterling and Wilson.

In the initial years, the focus was to make Sterling and Wilson a national electrical contracting company. There was a large requirement from the IT sector for having contractors with a National presence as they were expanding rapidly countrywide. With developers planning a National expansion and with the retail, mall and multiplex boom in its infancy, the need for a national contractor would only grow. From one branch office in 1997 Sterling and Wilson established 17 branch offices till date to cater to its clients National needs.

Consistent and repeat orders by many key clients enabled Sterling and Wilson to become India’s leading Electrical contracting organization. Almost 65% of its order booking was coming from existing clients that include Tata Group, Raheja Group, Citibank, Dell, Intel, ICICI Bank, Indian Hotels, Wipro, Hiranandani Group, Ericsson, Bharti, PVR, Inox, etc

With the Indian industry booming from 2003, the construction industry got a fillip. The requirement for fast track project execution became the requirement of the day. Due to Multi-National Company’s (MNC) setting up their operations in India, expectations and requirements shifted towards many client’s wanting a single point of contact that could provide electro-mechanical services. Anticipating this new trend gaining momentum, the vision of the company underwent a metamorphosis and it allocated the necessary resources to build its MEP divisions.

In 2005, the company started its HVAC division with its first project being the Serena Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan. The Sterling and Wilson management took this as an opportunity to venture into a new area and set up its own project execution team to successfully execute the HVAC work. The success of this project was a major learning experience and the right impetus needed for charting the company in its successful entry into HVAC services.

Having successfully built a strong team for the HVAC division, Sterling and Wilson decided to enter the Plumbing and fire fighting services market. With a strong base of clients and consultants encouraging them to enter this sector, it was only a question of getting the right team in place.

Today Sterling and Wilson, has evolved as India’s leading MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) Services Company with almost 40% of its business coming from electro-mechancal projects. Some of the key MEP projects are Ford, Perkins, Earnest Tower(FIFC), One Horizon Center, Daimler India Commercial Vehicles, ESIC Hospital, Nokia Siemens, Rustomjee Natraj IT Park, Supreme Tower, Lulu International Mall, Holiday Inn etc.

While the company has seen a huge success in MEP projects in India, it has been associated with several prestigious MEP projects internationally i.e. Golden Jubilee House at Ghana, International Cricket Stadium in Guyana, Constance Moofooshi Resort in Maldives, Sheraton Hotel in Guinea, Hilton Hotel in Sierra Leone, King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh, Al Kasim University in Riyadh, Barwa Commercial Avenue in Qatar.
