RSRDC to Expand Operations Nationwide Across India

05 Dec 2024 CW Team

The Rajasthan State Road Development Corporation (RSRDC), a subsidiary of the state PWD, is preparing to expand its operations beyond Rajasthan by participating in bids and constructing projects in other states. This move follows the approval of a resolution at the corporation's 127th Board meeting, allowing RSRDC to act as a contractor for projects outside the state.

In an interview with TOI, RSRDC's Managing Director, Sunil Singh, stated that this strategic decision is aimed at generating additional revenue for the state government. RSRDC plans to engage in bids and undertake construction of various structures, including roads, bridges, underpasses, railway over bridges (ROBs), and buildings. However, he mentioned that it would take some time before the department starts participating in projects outside Rajasthan. He explained that the corporation would first establish a dedicated cell for this purpose, consisting of officials such as procurement officers, engineers, and others.

A senior official from the Public Works Department noted that RSRDC had previously executed construction projects in New Delhi for NTPC and in Panchkula, Haryana. Singh further elaborated that in the past, the corporation was not well-organized to undertake projects outside Rajasthan, leading to its decision to cease participation in tenders and projects in other states over time.
