In a regulatory filing, the company said it has received a Letter of Acceptance for the construction of a road over bridge in place of Level Crossing No. NC-5 between Rangapani and New Jalpaiguri stations in the New Jalpaiguri–Aluabari section.

The total value of the contract is approximately Rs 466.2 million. The project has been awarded by Northeast Frontier Railway and is scheduled to be executed within 18 months from the date of award.

The contract win reflects Brahmaputra Infrastructure’s growing presence in railway infrastructure projects and its ability to secure strategic orders in the domestic transportation sector.
