Ashoka Buildcon Wins Rs 6,021.6 mn RVNL Order For Uttarakhand Rail

Nashik-based Ashoka Buildcon Limited (Ashoka Buildcon) has secured a Letter of Acceptance from Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) for a Rs602.16 crore contract, equivalent to Rs 6,021.6 mn, to carry out electrical and mechanical works for four tunnels on the Rishikesh-Karnprayag new rail line in Uttarakhand. The order covers tunnels T-13, T-14, T-15 and T-16 under package E-4 and was formalised by RVNL through a letter dated 28 August.

The scope comprises supply, installation, testing and commissioning of tunnel electrical and mechanical systems, including substations, high- and low-tension cables, diesel generator sets, lighting and uninterrupted power supply systems. The contract also covers ventilation and fire-fighting systems and related ancillary works required to make the tunnels operational.
