RVNL Invites Bids for ₹1,086 Crore Madhya Pradesh Rail Line
Rail Vikas Nigam Limited wants to build a new railway section in Madhya Pradesh.
The line will connect Kulthana and Rajpura.
It will be about 13 kilometres long.
The work is expected to cost ₹1,086.65 crore.
Builders will construct bridges, tunnels, station buildings and other railway structures.
The line will also be electrified.
It is part of a much larger project to change old metre-gauge tracks to broad gauge.
The larger project is intended to improve passenger and freight train connections across the region.
RVNL has invited bids for a ₹1,086.65 crore package covering a new broad-gauge line between Kulthana and Rajpura.
The proposed railway section will span 13 kilometres, from Km 28/970 to Km 42/040.
Construction includes earthwork, three minor bridges, seven major bridges, seven tunnels and three mega bridges.
