BHEL consortium wins contract worth Rs 9,600 cr from Indian Railways

Indian Railways has awarded a contract to a consortium led by Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) to deliver 80 sleeper class Vande Bharat trains worth over Rs 9,600 crore. The project is scheduled to be completed within 72 months.

Because of their ability to run on long-distance routes such as Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah, sleeper class Vande Bharat or Train18 trainsets are in high demand.

At the moment, all Vande Bharat trains in operation offer only chair car and executive chair car categories, with no sleeper class options.

The BHEL-led consortium announced in a regulatory filing that it has secured a contract for 80 Vande Bharat trains as part of the Indian Railways' mega tender. The consortium, Technology Partner, is made up of BHEL and Titagarh Wagons.

The contract calls for the delivery of 80 trains, with each unit costing Rs 120 crore before taxes and duties.

According to the regulatory filing, the agreement also includes an AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) order with a 35-year term.

According to the regulatory filing, the consortium is responsible for furnishing, improving, managing, and servicing the dedicated area assigned in the ICF Chennai manufacturing facility, as well as two depots designated by Indian Railways.
