Rail Vikas Nigam (RVNL), the construction arm of the Ministry of Railways, has secured its first Delhi Metro project under Phase IV of the Delhi Mass Rapid Transport System. The awarded contract involves the construction of a 7.298 km elevated corridor connecting Lajpat Nagar and Saket G Block, strengthening public transport infrastructure in the capital.

Valued at around Rs 4.47 billion (inclusive of GST), the project includes the design and construction of an elevated viaduct and seven metro stations. These stations will be located at Saket G Block Pushp Vihar, Saket District Centre, Pushpa Bhawan, Chirag Delhi, GK-1, Andrews Ganj, and Lajpat Nagar. The project is slated for completion within 36 months.

“This project is a significant opportunity for RVNL to contribute to the future-ready infrastructure of Delhi. We are committed to delivering it with excellence, safety, and innovation, fully aligned with DMRC's vision of creating world-class urban mobility systems,” said Pradeep Gaur, Chairman and Managing Director of RVNL.

RVNL is currently active in metro projects across eight Indian cities. However, this contract is of particular importance as it marks the company’s entry into the Delhi Metro Phase IV expansion, further establishing its role in urban transport development.
