Earthwork: Excavation, filling, and blanketing
Bridge construction: Both minor and major bridges
Railway track laying: Inclusive of drainage, retaining walls, and level crossings
The venture aims to complete the project within 36 months. RVNL confirmed that no related-party transactions are involved in the contract, as a domestic entity awards it.

Net profit: ₹286.9 crore, a 27% decline year-on-year
Revenue: ₹4,855 crore, down 1.2% YoY
EBITDA: ₹271.5 crore, reflecting a 9% drop
EBITDA margins: Reduced to 5.6% from 6%
Despite operational challenges, the announcement adds significant value to RVNL’s project portfolio and reinforces its role in India's railway infrastructure development.
