Six companies have submitted proposals to build the 4.7 km tunnelling Package C-4 of the 121.7 km Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC) project since Friday, when technical bids were launched by Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd (HRIDC).

Twin tunnels in the Aravalis will make up this portion of Haryana's first semi-high-speed rail line, which will run from chainage kilometre 24.880 to km 29.580 close to Sohna's Roz-Ka-Meo Industrial Area.
