The electrification project, part of Indian Railways’ broader mission to modernize and decarbonize its infrastructure, is expected to be completed within 18 months.

Electrification of rail routes is a key component of the Ministry of Railways’ goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Projects like this not only cut diesel dependency but also increase the speed, safety, and efficiency of rail transport in India.

“This order is a testament to Texmaco’s commitment to India’s rail modernisation. It reflects the trust that public sector clients like RVNL place in our technical capabilities and execution experience.”

Project Scope & Technical Highlights

The scope of work includes:
