ITI Wins ₹72.76-Crore Ice Hockey Rink Project
ITI Ltd, a government company, has won a big project worth ₹72.76 crore to build an ice hockey rink in Himachal Pradesh.
The rink will be built in Kaza Soma, a place where it's cold enough to play ice hockey.
The project includes not just the rink but also solar power backup, cameras, and lights.
This is a new kind of project for ITI, which usually makes telecom equipment.
Ice hockey is not very popular in India, but some places like Lahaul-Spiti and Ladakh have the right weather for it.
India is not very high in the rankings for this sport, so this new rink might help players train better.
ITI Ltd secures a ₹72.76-crore contract for an ice hockey rink in Himachal Pradesh.
The project is located in Kaza Soma, Lahaul and Spiti, and will be executed on a turnkey basis.
The scope includes a full-fledged ice hockey rink, a 500 kW solar power backup system, CCTV, and lighting systems.
Ice hockey is a niche sport in India, primarily played in high-altitude regions like Lahaul-Spiti and Ladakh.
This project marks ITI's expansion beyond telecom manufacturing into infrastructure and system integration.
