The Uttarakhand Investment and Infrastructure Development Board awarded a contract worth Rs 4.38 billion for various infrastructure and redevelopment works in Haridwar. This project includes rejuvenation of public spaces, development of business and exercise districts, and urban improvements to support regional growth.

Another contract, valued at Rs 2.19 billion, was awarded by the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) for planning, supervision, and construction of buildings at its Mehrauli campus in New Delhi. The project encompasses a data centre, residential housing, hostels, a technical block, and associated infrastructure to support C-DOT’s operations.

These contracts align with NBCC’s corporate growth strategy, reinforcing its leadership in the redevelopment and infrastructure sector in India.
