Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has been awarded a crucial railway electrification contract after emerging as the lowest bidder (L1). This project, undertaken in collaboration with Central Railway, is part of India’s ongoing infrastructure modernisation efforts.
RVNL secured the contract for Overhead Equipment (OHE) modification work, upgrading the existing 1×25 KV traction system to 2×25 KV in the Itarsi-Amla section of Central Railway’s Nagpur division. This enhancement aims to support a 3000 MT freight loading target, contributing to improved efficiency and capacity in railway operations. The total cost of work is over ₹115 crores, and the project completion time is 24 months.
Winning this bid reinforces RVNL’s strong position in India’s railway infrastructure sector. The project aligns with the government’s push for railway electrification, ensuring improved operational efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. It also highlights RVNL’s technical expertise and ability to execute large-scale electrification projects.
As of March 25, 2025, at 10:05 AM, RVNL share price is trading at ₹376.35 per share, reflecting an upside of 1.29% from the previous closing price. Over the past month, the stock has surged by 3.54%.
RVNL’s selection as the lowest bidder for this critical railway electrification project strengthens its reputation as a key infrastructure player. The successful execution of this project will contribute to India’s growing railway network and freight efficiency.
