GMR Infrastructure Limited (GIL), a leading global infrastructure conglomerate led consortium, has been awarded two more packages on the long Eastern dedicated freight Corridor.
The consortium has been issued a Letter of Award for construction of 221 Km long Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor railway project at a cost of Rs. 2280.70 Crore on EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) basis.

The scope of work in the recently bagged project involves Design and Construction of Civil, Structures and Track Works for Single/Double Line on Design-Build Lump Sum Basis.
GMR group is already working on 417 Km long Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor railway project that comprises of two corridors - one is 180 km long connecting Mughalsarai and Karchana (near Allahabad).
