BCPL Railway Surges After Winning Rs 789.7m RVNL Electrification Bid

Shares of BCPL Railway Infrastructure jumped 7.9 per cent on the BSE, touching an intra-day high of Rs 81 after the company emerged as the Lowest Bidder (L1) for a contract from Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL). By 11:02 AM, the stock was trading 3.32 per cent higher at Rs 77.5, while RVNL shares rose 0.4 per cent to Rs 315.3. The BSE Sensex was up 0.15 per cent at 85,357.83.

The project involves upgrading overhead equipment (OHE) from the existing 1x25kV system to a 2x25kV AT feeding system, including feeder and earthing works, in the Ravikampadu–Duvvada section (100 RKM/191 TKM) of the Vijayawada Division under South Central Railway. According to the company’s filing, BCPL emerged as L1 for Tender No. RVNL-SC-RVD-DVD-OHE-SLT, covering supply, erection, testing and commissioning of the upgraded OHE system.

The project is valued at Rs 789.7 million and must be completed within 18 months from the execution date. BCPL Railway Infrastructure Limited specialises in railway modernisation, offering design, drawing, supply, erection and commissioning of 25 kV, 50 Hz single-phase traction overhead equipment. It provides turnkey solutions for traction substations and undertakes modifications of existing electrified tracks to support Indian Railways’ high-speed expansion plans.

RVNL, meanwhile, is a key player in constructing rail infrastructure across India, with expertise spanning new lines, doubling, gauge conversion, electrification, metro systems, bridges—including cable-stayed structures—and institutional facilities.
