HCC and Konkan Railway Join Hands for Metro, Tunnels, and Bridge Projects

HCC Ltd. has announced a strategic partnership with Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd. (KRCL) to jointly pursue and execute large-scale transport infrastructure projects across India and abroad. This collaboration marks a significant step for both organisations as they combine their expertise to deliver modern and efficient transport solutions.

The partnership is built on HCC’s extensive experience in heavy civil construction and project execution, paired with KRCL’s proven capabilities in rail systems, operations, and project management. Together, the two firms aim to offer end-to-end solutions across the full spectrum of transport infrastructure.

Focus Areas of Collaboration

Under this MoU, HCC and KRCL will focus on several key areas. These include underground and elevated metro systems, NATM tunnelling, railway bridges, and large-scale engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts. The collaboration will also cover civil works, track laying, signalling, electrification, MEP systems, operations, and maintenance.

The partners will identify and bid for opportunities across a variety of contractual frameworks, including EPC, design-build, unit-rate contracts, and public-private partnerships. This flexible approach allows them to tackle projects of varying scale and complexity, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the needs of different markets.

Expanding Domestic and International Reach

By joining forces, HCC and KRCL aim to strengthen their presence in both domestic and international markets. The collaboration allows them to deliver fully integrated transport solutions that combine civil construction expertise with advanced rail system knowledge.

“By combining capabilities, we aim to expand our presence in both domestic and international markets while delivering fully-integrated transport solutions that span civil construction and rail systems,” said Arjun Dhawan, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of HCC.
