New Delhi: Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), a Government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, has emerged as the Lowest Bidder (L1) for a major infrastructure project awarded by North Eastern Railway.
The project involves the construction of the substructure of Important Bridge No. 50 (14x61.0 m) with a Double D type well foundation for a double line conforming to RDSO’s 25 T axle loading standard over the river Gandak, situated between Paniyahwa and Valmikinagar stations. The work forms part of the doubling project between Gorakhpur Cantt and Valmikinagar section of North Eastern Railway.
The contract, valued at Rs 165.54 crore (including GST), is to be executed within 24 months. The order falls under the company’s normal course of business and was awarded through a domestic tender process under the general contract conditions of the Indian Railways.
RVNL has been consistently strengthening India’s rail infrastructure through the execution of complex civil and structural works across multiple zones. This new project adds to its growing portfolio of railway construction and bridge works in the country.
The company confirmed that neither the promoters nor the promoter group have any interest in the awarding entity and that the order does not fall under related party transactions.
