Within five years from take-off, NPCC was fully established as a leading contracting outfit and had to its credit completion of some large projects in Pakistan i.e. Electrification of SCARP Tube wells, 132kV Substations and Transmission Lines, Gas Turbine Power Plants, Industrial and Rural Electrification.

Having raised a strong professional management and solid home base, NPCC started knocking at the foreign market. The break-through came in 1977 with the award of the first major Project in Saudi Arabia and during the next over two decades NPCC was able to secure many more. Among these, on turnkey contract basis, were one of the largest Central Electrification Scheme and a Rural Distribution Project ever undertaken in Saudi Arabia. The rise of NPCC as a Contracting force was so phenomenal that in 1982 "The Engineering News Record (ENR)" rated it among the top 50 International Design-Construct Outfits. In 1989 NPCC was again in the bank of top 100 International Contractors.

NPCC has completed Power Projects within Pakistan valuing over Rs. 150 Million. These include turnkey construction of 132kV transmission and 11kV distribution lines, 132kV substations, Gas Turbine Power Station and electrification of industrial complexes.

Since extension of its operation to Gulf Region i.e. Saudi Arabia in the year 1977 and Kuwait in the year 1991, NPCC completed Power Projects of international recognition and supervised by reputed Consultants. The value of Projects completed and in hand are in the order of Saudi Riyals 2.48 billion (US$ 700 million).

These include construction of 380kV, 132kV and 110kV transmission lines, 132kV/110kV Underground Cable Networks, 33kV and 13.8kV Distribution Networks, 132kV / 33kV Substations and Gas Turbine Power Stations, all on Design-Construct basis with related civil works and services etc.

In 1989, NPCC joined the elite club of International Constructors who are credited with turnkey execution of Extra High Voltage Transmission Lines. This was with the award of the prestigious 280km long, 380kV transmission line, connecting Madinah-Al-Munawarah with Rabigh on Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. The Contract was worth US$ 140 million and won by NPCC in the face of fierce competitive international bidding. The Project was successfully completed and commissioned in 1992.

NPCC had the distinction of being amongst the selected Contracting Outfits who participated in the rehabilitation of Power Network in and around Kuwait city after its liberation from Iraq in early 1991. The work involved emergency repairs and putting into service of 300kV and 132kV Transmission Lines and was carried out in very hazardous post-war field conditions. Through professional pursuit, sheer hard work and determination, NPCC has now established itself as a very strong Contracting Outfit in its field of specialty.

Having this capability and proven past experience at its back, NPCC is all set to extend its operations in the Far East and Africa.
