Tata Steel to Launch Modular Bridges in India with InQuik

11 Jul 2025 CW Team

Tata Steel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Australia-based InQuik Group to introduce modular bridge systems in India, aiming to speed up construction and enhance connectivity in remote regions.

This partnership combines Tata Steel’s manufacturing strength with InQuik’s award-winning, prefabricated bridge technology, enabling the rapid installation of bridges using steel moulds filled with concrete on-site.

Faster Construction, Lower Costs, Greater Reach

The InQuik system allows:

Quicker build times

Lower costs

High durability, even in challenging terrains

This makes it ideal for regions with limited access to heavy construction equipment, helping to address long-standing infrastructure gaps in underserved areas.

Strategic Shift for Tata Steel

This move marks Tata Steel’s transition from raw material supplier to integrated infrastructure provider.

CEO & MD T. V. Narendran said, “This partnership reflects our commitment to smart, sustainable construction that supports India's infrastructure ambitions.”

For InQuik Group, the collaboration opens doors to the Indian market. CEO Logan Mullaney described it as a step forward in providing cost-effective, quick, and resilient infrastructure solutions globally.

The companies will now focus on identifying priority sites where the modular bridges can deliver the most meaningful impact.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
