RVNL Emerges as L1 for ₹242 Crore Railway Electrification Upgrade Project 🚆⚡

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has emerged as the Lowest Bidder (L1) for a major railway electrification upgradation project awarded by South Central Railway, in the normal course of its business operations. The project involves design, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning for the upgradation of the existing 1×25 kV OHE system to a 2×25 kV AT feeding system, including feeder and earthing works. The work will be executed on the Ongole (OGL) – Gudur (GDR) section of the Vijayawada Division, covering a total length of 154 route kilometers (462 track kilometers). The total project value stands at approximately ₹242.5 crore (including taxes), with an execution timeline of 24 months. The contract has been awarded by a domestic entity, and there is no promoter or related-party interest involved. This project is strategically important as 2×25 kV electrification systems enhance power availability, improve energy efficiency, and support higher train speeds and heavier freight loads. Such upgrades play a crucial role in strengthening railway infrastructure and improving network reliability. With this L1 position, RVNL continues to reinforce its strong execution track record in railway electrification and infrastructure development, aligning well with India’s broader push toward modernized, energy-efficient rail transport.
