A joint venture led by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has been awarded a major rail infrastructure contract worth ₹613 crore in the state of Karnataka. The project, aimed at enhancing the region's rail network, will focus on the development and modernization of critical railway infrastructure to improve connectivity and support regional economic growth.

Under the terms of the agreement, the JV will be responsible for executing several key tasks, including the construction of new tracks, upgrading existing rail corridors, and enhancing station facilities. The initiative is part of the Indian government’s ongoing efforts to modernize the country's railway system and provide better services to passengers and freight operations.

The project will not only improve rail infrastructure but is also expected to generate significant employment opportunities, stimulate local economies, and enhance the overall efficiency of the railway network in the region.

This development comes at a time when the Indian railway sector is undergoing significant modernization, with a focus on introducing more high-tech solutions, ensuring safety, and increasing capacity to meet the growing transportation needs across the country.
