KEC-CCECC JV starts work on ₹592-cr RRTS corridor

Construction and infrastructure building major, KEC, in a joint venture with CCECC has started work for casting of piers near Atul Kataria Chowk in Gurugram for the construction of the second Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) line connecting Delhi – Gurugram – SNB (Shahjahanpur – Neemrana – Behrod) through a 106.5 km long line with a speed of 180 km per hour. The Delhi – SNB RRTS line was approved for construction by the Haryana Government early last year and the work will be financed mostly through government funds.

The construction work of a 10 km long elevated section of this corridor was awarded to GR Infraprojects Ltd. (GRIL) in May 2020 with a deadline of 2.5 years. The firm had placed a bid of ₹592.17 crore which was found to be lowest among all participating players. The scope of the work includes construction of the elevated viaduct from the end of the Ramp at IDPL Complex to start ramp at Rajiv Chowk and three elevated stations viz., Udyog Vihar, Sector-17 and Rajiv Chowk of Delhi- SNB Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) Corridor.
