The PFTs, located at Dharmapura and Susheel Nagar, are designed to facilitate freight movement for the mining industry, supporting the state's environmental restoration efforts. The project’s conversion to a turnkey contract means that RITES will now be responsible for the complete execution of the project, from design to construction, offering a more comprehensive solution to KMERC.

Project scope and timeline

The ₹454-crore project includes the project management consultancy fee, with RITES managing every aspect of the development, including engineering, procurement, and construction. The entire project is expected to be completed within 30 months from the date of agreement signing or site handover.

RITES was initially awarded the contract as a PMC project, but the recent transition to a turnkey model enhances the company’s involvement, ensuring delivery of end-to-end projects. The PFTs are a critical infrastructure component in the region, and their development aims to improve logistics and reduce environmental impacts caused by mining activities in Karnataka.

Other recent developments

In addition to this Karnataka project, RITES has been active in securing other contracts. On October 1, RITES announced receiving a $4.28 million (approximately ₹36 crore) contract from Tsiko Africa Logistics (Pty) Limited for the supply and commissioning of a diesel-electric locomotive. Additionally, RITES emerged as the lowest bidder in a ₹60-crore tender for consultancy services related to bridge construction in Uttar Pradesh.

Impact on RITES share price

Following the announcement of the turnkey contract, shares of RITES Ltd were down by 2.62% to ₹292.20 on the BSE. While the project is a significant win, the RITES share price saw a minor dip, likely reflecting broader market sentiment.

The ₹454-crore contract for railway freight terminals marks another significant step for RITES in expanding its portfolio of infrastructure projects. With multiple contracts in place, the company is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory in the engineering and consultancy sector.
