BCPL Railway Infrastructure has secured a new contract worth Rs 4.72 crore from the Howrah Division of Eastern Railway for overhead electrification work, as per the company’s filing with the exchanges.
The Kolkata-based company received the letter of acceptance on June 4 for the replacement of old Guy Rod Assembly under the division’s electrical wing. The work involves 25 KV overhead equipment (OHE) installation and is to be completed within 18 months of acceptance, the company stated.
