Afcons becomes lowest bidder for ₹1,112-cr RRTS rail project

Afcons Infrastructure has bagged a ₹1,112 crore rail project. It became the lowest bidder for constructing the 4.3 km long Sarai Kale Khan – New Ashok Nagar (Package 6) of the 82.15 km Delhi – Meerut (RRTS) Line after the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) opened the financial bids submitted by infrastructure building players. This elevated package includes building a viaduct from Sarai Kale Khan to New Ashok Nagar's Down-Ramp, a bridge over the Yamuna River, an entry ramp leading to the Jangpura Stabling Yard (where a few Bombardier train-sets will be stabled overnight for morning services), and two elevated stations at Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar. NCRTC had floated tenders for this package in February this year.
