15 Apr 2026 CW Team

In Category G, which acknowledges excellence in construction projects across sectors including power and transmission, JSL received the award for its 400/220 KV D/C Goa-Tamnar Transmission Project in Goa. The company said the selection involved a multi-stage evaluation process including documentation review, jury interactions and assessment of its quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE) systems. As part of the process, the CIDC team conducted interviews and discussions with Resonia in the presence of the JSL team.

Under Category E2, four members of JSL’s site team from the Torrent project were honoured for their supervisory performance. The assessment was conducted through a remote jury interview in January 2026. A total of 126 supervisors were awarded across the industry, and JSL’s representation reflected its on-ground execution capabilities, the company said.

In Category D, Vandana Ajay Kudalkar, Senior VP QHSE at JSL, was recognised among women professionals in the construction industry. She was one of 14 recipients selected through a two-round evaluation, which included a jury interaction and an in-person assessment at the client’s office in Gurugram in January 2026.

Rajesh Kumar Singh, CEO, Jyoti Structures Limited, said, “Being recognised across three distinct categories at the CIDC Vishwakarma Awards reflects the standards we continue to build at Jyoti Structures. While delivering projects is critical, equal importance lies in the discipline, consistency, and people who drive that execution every day across our sites. These awards acknowledge the Goa-Tamnar project, our supervisors on the Torrent site, and Ms. Kudalkar's contribution to quality and safety leadership. Each representing a different dimension of what it means to build with accountability at scale.”

CIDC, established under the aegis of NITI Aayog, works to support the development of India’s construction sector. The Vishwakarma Awards recognise organisations and individuals across categories ranging from project delivery and sustainability to safety and workforce development.
