Salasar Techno Engineering Completes Rs. 170.17 Crore Udaipur–Himmatnagar Railway Electrification Corridor

Salasar Techno Engineering has completed the electrification of the 210-RKM (234.99 TKM) Udaipur–Himmatnagar rail corridor, now dedicated to the Nation. Awarded by RITES, a Schedule ‘A’ Enterprise of the Government of India, on behalf of the Principal Chief Electrical Engineer, North Western Railway, Jaipur, the project carried a contract value of approximately Rs. 170.17 crore and covered the section from Udaipur City (Excl.) to Himmatnagar (Excl.) in the Ajmer Division.

The scope covered 25 kV OHE electrification, general electrification of Traction Sub-Stations, civil engineering works, track works, and signalling and telecommunication works. The project was executed across multiple sites, including Traction Sub-Stations at Dungarpur and Vantada, along with nine Sectioning/Sub-Sectioning Post stations at Zawar, Jai Samand, Semari, Rikhab Dev, Bechhiwara, Lusadiya, Shamlaji, Raigadh and Himmatnagar.

At each site, Salasar carried out structure erection, transformer and equipment installation, SCADA integration, earthing and cabling works, and signalling and telecom works.

The corridor was delivered in three phases, with each phase independently verified by the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) or through RITES inspection, reinforcing the project’s technical and safety standards. The electrified line supports faster and cleaner train movement between Rajasthan and Gujarat, in line with India’s vision for sustainable rail logistics.

Commenting on the achievement, Shashank Agarwal, Managing Director, Salasar Techno Engineering Limited, said, “Completing the Udaipur–Himmatnagar corridor strengthens Salasar’s credentials as a full-scope railway electrification partner, capable of delivering complex, multi-site infrastructure to independently certified safety standards. This project reflects our integrated EPC execution model, spanning OHE, traction sub-stations, civil, track and signalling works, and our commitment to building infrastructure that supports India’s sustainable transport goals.”

The completion of the project further reinforces Salasar Techno Engineering’s role as a trusted EPC partner in India’s railway electrification drive, supporting the sector’s transition towards safer, more efficient and sustainable rail infrastructure. The project adds to the company’s track record in large-scale railway EPC execution as it continues to expand its footprint across India’s electrification programme.
