Rail Vikas Nigam gets LoA for Rs 4.4 billion project

Rail Vikas Nigam, a key player in the railway infrastructure development sector, recently announced a significant milestone in its collaboration with the South Central Railway. The company revealed that it had been awarded the Letter of Acceptance by the South Central Railway for a crucial Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) tender.

The tender pertains to the ambitious project of "Doubling of Track between Ankai station (Excluding) at KM 16.00 (Ch: 16000) & Karanjgaon stations (Excluding) at Km 69.01 (Ch:69010)" spanning a distance of approximately 53.01 kilometres. This endeavour is part of the broader Aurangabad-Ankai Doubling Project within the Nanded Division of the South Central Railway.

The scope of work includes not only the doubling of the track but also encompasses vital aspects such as Electrification and Signalling works. These enhancements are expected to significantly bolster the efficiency and capacity of the railway network in the region, facilitating smoother and more reliable transportation of passengers and goods.
