RVNL Secures Rs 13.332 bn NMDC Contracts for Residential Towers

02 Mar 2026 CW Team

The first contract, covering Iron Ore Deposit-5, carries a value of Rs 7,968 million and the second, for Iron Ore Deposit-10/11A, is valued at Rs 5,364 million; both contracts have execution periods of 34 months. The figures reflect conversions from the original crore denominations and have been disclosed as part of routine regulatory filings. Both contracts share identical 34?month execution windows and are scheduled to proceed under RVNL’s standard project management framework.

RVNL clarified that the contracts do not qualify as related party transactions and that the promoter or promoter group has no interest in the awarding entity, ensuring compliance with regulatory norms. The twin orders are intended to support NMDC’s workforce at its mining operations and further diversify RVNL’s infrastructure portfolio beyond rail projects. The awards are expected to bolster non?rail revenue streams and to enhance visibility for the company’s diversified construction order book.

With a 34?month execution timeline, the projects are expected to provide steady revenue visibility and to contribute positively to RVNL’s order book over the next three years. Rail Vikas Nigam Limited is a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Railways engaged in rail infrastructure development and allied construction services, while National Mineral Development Corporation is India’s largest iron ore producer and a leading public sector mining company. The latest awards add to a pipeline of infrastructure projects that RVNL is executing nationwide.
