MCOS Global partners with L&T for Dhubri Bridge

MCOS Global, a prominent infrastructure company and supplier of raw minerals and construction chemicals, has announced a strategic partnership with Larsen & Toubro (L&T) to accelerate the construction of the Dhubri-Phulbari Bridge. This vital project aims to bolster regional connectivity and infrastructure development. MCOS will play a crucial role by providing essential construction materials like aggregates, sand, dust, and boulders, with an estimated project value ranging from Rs 300 to 500 crore over the next 5-6 years.

The Dhubri-Phulbari Bridge, a proposed 4-lane bridge near the Bangladesh border, will link Assam's Dhubri with Meghalaya's Phulbari. Expected to be completed by 2028-29, it will become India's second-longest bridge over water, spanning over 19 kilometres.

Currently, the primary mode of travel between Dhubri and Phulbari is by ferries, which can take up to 2.5 hours. The bridge is poised to significantly boost trade and commerce in the region, fostering the development of India's North-Eastern states. Furthermore, the bridge's construction and operation are expected to create new employment opportunities locally.

Initially budgeted at Rs 3,600 crore, the project's investment nearly doubled due to unforeseen challenges. Originally slated for completion by 2028, the project timeline has been extended to 2029 to ensure meticulous engineering and expanded requirements, prioritizing safety and performance standards.

The project has achieved a significant milestone with 10 to 20 per cent completion. MCOS is at the forefront of driving this transformative initiative, underscoring its dedication to innovation and self-reliance in engineering practices.
