HCC and KRCL Join Forces for Transport Projects

Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Konkan Railway Corporation (KRCL) to jointly pursue and execute large-scale railway and multi-modal transport infrastructure projects across India and international markets.

The MoU establishes a framework for long-term collaboration, leveraging HCC’s expertise in heavy civil construction and project execution alongside KRCL’s proven capabilities in rail systems, operations, and project implementation. Together, the partners aim to deliver integrated, end-to-end solutions across civil works, track laying, signalling, electrification, MEP systems, operations and maintenance, and other critical components of modern transport networks.

The partnership will focus on complex assignments, including underground and elevated metro systems, NATM tunnelling, railway bridges, and large-scale EPC contracts. Both organizations will jointly identify and bid for opportunities under varied contractual models, including EPC, design-build, unit-rate contracts, PPP arrangements, and other advanced procurement frameworks. The MoU also provides for the formation of joint ventures, consortia, or other collaborative structures tailored to project requirements.

Commenting on the collaboration, Arjun Dhawan, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, HCC, said: “This MoU underscores HCC’s commitment to creating synergies with public sector leaders like KRCL. By combining capabilities, we aim to expand our presence domestically and internationally while delivering fully integrated transport solutions that span civil construction and rail systems.”

Santosh Kumar Jha, Chairman & Managing Director, KRCL, added: “Konkan Railway Corporation is pleased to join hands with HCC to pursue infrastructure projects of national and international significance. Our combined expertise positions us to execute complex projects, extend our operational footprint, and contribute meaningfully to modern transport networks.”

This strategic alliance is expected to unlock new opportunities for both partners, reinforcing their ability to deliver world-class transport infrastructure and support the development of India’s and other nations’ infrastructure ecosystems.
