In a regulatory filing with the BSE, the company said the project has been awarded to the HCC–VCCL Joint Venture, in which Hindustan Construction Company holds a 65 per cent stake, while VCCL owns the remaining 35 per cent.

The contract involves the construction of a 3.5 km main tunnel on an end-to-end basis, covering detailed design, engineering and commissioning. The scope of work also includes the design and proof-checking of a broad-gauge ballast-less track, along with the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of all systems and structures required for railway operations.

In addition, the project covers the design, supply, erection and commissioning of tunnel ventilation systems, as well as comprehensive electro-mechanical works. The contract also includes the construction of approach roads and other ancillary infrastructure to ensure seamless integration with the surrounding railway network.

The project is expected to play a key role in improving rail connectivity and infrastructure development in the Northeast region.
