04 May 2026 CW Team

The scope covers construction of a dedicated facility situated between Channasandra and Yelahanka stations and encompasses comprehensive engineering and execution activities required to support long distance sleeper variants of Vande Bharat trains. The project will be executed under the EPC model and is scheduled for completion within 30 months from the appointed date. The location is intended to support operations and maintenance workflows for next generation train services.

The contract is wholly domestic and was awarded by a government entity, with the company indicating that no promoter or group company holds an interest in the awarding authority, thereby maintaining arm's length governance. From an operational perspective the project is expected to enhance Power Mech's capabilities in specialised railway maintenance infrastructure and to position the firm for similar advanced rail initiatives in the future. The depot will enable regular maintenance and servicing aimed at improving operational reliability and safety standards.

The order aligns with a broader corporate strategy to diversify across infrastructure verticals including power, railways and industrial construction and allows the company to retain control over design and delivery under the EPC arrangement, which may support operational efficiency and margin management. The transaction adds to recent contract wins and represents a steady expansion of the company's footprint within India's rail modernisation efforts.
