Continuing its expansion, the company signed an agreement with NHIDCL in 2024 for the supply of Class 70R Double-Lane Bridges. As part of its ongoing projects, GRSE has delivered 44 modular bridges to BRO for installation across India.

To date, GRSE has supplied over 5,800 modular bridges, reinforcing its commitment to indigenous manufacturing under the Government of India’s Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. The company continues to play a crucial role in strengthening India's infrastructure, particularly in remote and strategically important regions.
