Salasar Techno Engineering Limited, a leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) player in India’s railway infrastructure sector, has completed the electrification of the 210-RKM (234.99 TKM) Udaipur–Himmatnagar rail corridor, now dedicated to the Nation. Awarded by RITES Limited, 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 & telecommunication works, executed across multiple sites: Traction Sub-Stations at Dungarpur and Vantada, and 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 & telecom works.
The corridor was delivered in three phases, each independently verified by the Commissioner of Railway Safety or through RITES inspection. The electrified line supports faster, cleaner train movement between Rajasthan and Gujarat, in line with India’s Net Zero Carbon vision for sustainable rail logistics.
“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,” said Shashank Agarwal, Managing Director, Salasar Techno Engineering Limited. “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.”- full ownership from OHE and traction sub-stations through to civil, track and signalling, built to standards that hold up to independent scrutiny. That’s the model we want to keep scaling as India’s railway network electrifies.”
The completion adds to Salasar’s track record in large-scale railway EPC execution, as the company continues to expand its footprint across India’s electrification programme.
