Rohas Tecnic Berhad (Rohas) has finalised a major utilities infrastructure contract with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) valued at RM42.44 million, following the resolution of a multi-month administrative gridlock over tax treatments.
The contract, which focuses on fiber optic deployment across TNB’s high-voltage electrical grid, was formally brought into full effect on June 5, 2026, after both parties mutually executed a critical tax addendum.
The infrastructure project was originally handed down to Rohas’s 86.8%-owned subsidiary, HG Power Transmission Sdn Bhd (HGPT), via a Letter of Award dated August 27, 2025. However, deployment was delayed due to protracted administrative clarifications regarding Sales and Service Tax (SST) mechanics.
To resolve the impasse, TNB issued a formal Letter of Addendum on June 3, 2026, which was subsequently executed and locked in by HGPT on June 5. With the regulatory SST treatment resolved, the contract takes effect retroactively from its original August 2025 award date.
Management noted that while raw material price volatility remains an inherent challenge for long-term power infrastructure projects, HGPT’s extensive history as an engineering contractor will allow it to mitigate these pressures effectively.
The project is expected to expand HGPT’s active engineering pipeline. Established in 1988, HGPT specializes in extra-high-voltage electrical transmission lines and maintains an active regional footprint with ongoing projects in Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
