HCC, Konkan Railway Ink Pact For Transport Projects

06 Oct 2025 CW Team

The MoU sets out a long-term framework for collaboration, combining HCC’s expertise in heavy civil construction with KRCL’s experience in rail systems, operations, and project implementation. The partnership aims to strengthen both organisations’ presence in the transport infrastructure sector through joint execution of complex and high-value assignments.

The collaboration will focus on challenging projects such as underground and elevated metro systems, NATM tunnelling, railway bridges, and large-scale EPC contracts. Both organisations will jointly identify and bid for opportunities across EPC, design–build, unit-rate, PPP, and other advanced contractual frameworks. The MoU also enables the creation of joint ventures, consortia, or other collaborative models based on project needs.

Arjun Dhawan, vice-chairman and managing director of HCC, said, “This MoU underscores HCC’s commitment to forging synergies with public sector leaders such as KRCL to meet the growing demand for technically advanced and high-value infrastructure. By combining our capabilities, we aim to expand our reach in both domestic and international markets while delivering fully integrated transport solutions.”

Santosh Kumar Jha, chairman and managing director of KRCL, added, “Konkan Railway Corporation is pleased to partner with HCC in pursuing infrastructure projects of national and international significance. Together, we can execute complex projects efficiently and contribute to the growth of modern transport networks.”

HCC, a leading engineering and construction firm specialising in large-scale infrastructure development, reported a 355 per cent jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 1.05 billion in the first quarter of FY26, driven by an 8 per cent increase in operational revenue to Rs 6.17 billion compared with the same period last year.

On the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), HCC shares fell 0.55 per cent, closing at Rs 27.30.
