06 Apr 2015 Evaluate

GMR Infrastructure’s consortium has been issued Letter of Award (LoA) for construction of 417 Km long Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor railway project at a cost of Rs 5,080 crore on EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) basis. GMR Group is not required to provide significant investment for the project since it is implemented on EPC basis. GMR led consortium, earlier in November 2014, has emerged lowest amongst five other bidders for the project through an International Competitive Bidding (ICB) process.

The project funded by World Bank is divided into 2 packages i.e., from Mughalsarai to Karchana (near Allahabad) for 180 km and from Karchana to Bhaupur (near Kanpur) for 237 km in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The project involves Design and Construction of Civil, Structures and Track Works for Double Line Railway on Design-Build Lump Sum Basis and shall be completed in 45 months. The Eastern and Western rail freight corridor projects are expected to be game changers in the country by creating the much required rail transportation capacity.

GMR Infrastructure is a Bangalore headquartered global infrastructure major with interests in Airports, Energy, Highways and Urban Infrastructure sectors. It has successfully employed the public-private partnership model to build a portfolio of high quality assets.
