Indian Railways Awards INR 262 Crore Project to Boost Network Electrification

India’s ambitious railway modernization program continues to drive significant infrastructure development, reflecting broader Asian trends toward enhanced connectivity and sustainable transport solutions. Ongoing electrification efforts are central to increasing line capacity, reducing operational costs, and supporting the growing demands of both passenger and freight movement.

K2 Infragen Ltd., in a joint venture with Salasar Techno Engineering Ltd. (holding a 74% stake), has secured a Letter of Acceptance valued at INR 262 crore from Indian Railways. The project covers the design, supply, erection, testing, and commissioning of 2x25kV AC traction substations, sectioning posts, and SCADA systems for a critical double-line section in the Jodhpur Division of North Western Railway.

This contract positions K2 Infragen as a key player in India’s railway infrastructure sector, enabling the company to manage multiple large-scale projects simultaneously. Successful execution of the project will enhance operational efficiency, expand corridor capacity, and support increased rail traffic in a strategically important region.

Company leadership views the award as a major milestone, marking a strong start to the year and reinforcing its ambition to become a leading infrastructure entity. With an order book exceeding INR 500 crore, K2 Infragen is poised for disciplined growth, reflecting the robust investment climate in India’s rail and transmission infrastructure.

Projects like this underscore the sustained focus on upgrading railway networks across Asia, highlighting the importance of efficient, electrified, and technologically advanced rail systems in promoting economic growth and regional integration.
