New Delhi: Infrastructure company Larsen & Toubro has emerged the lowest bidder for a key railway project connecting Rishikesh and Karnaprayag in Uttarakhand, a person aware of the matter said.The company’s construction arm is likely to bag the Rs 3,338 crore order from Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd, after it outbid Megha Engineering, Afcons Infrastructure and Turkey-based Gulermak in the recently concluded financial bidding process, the person said.The rail link is meant to facilitate easy access to the pilgrimage centres in Uttarakhand, connect new trade centres, help develop backward areas and serve the population living in the area.The railway line would traverse a very rugged Himalayan terrain, with the alignment oriented across and sometimes sub-parallel to the major thrust zones of Himalaya with complex geological conditions.The project involves construction of 14.577 km upline and 13.123 km downline tunnels with embankment of about 800 meters at both ends. The scope includes construction of an ellipsoidal construction-cum-ventilation shaft of finished cross section of 79 square meters and a depth of 32 meters.The company is already engaged in the construction of the Rishikesh–Karanprayag Tunnel 2 package by Rail Vikas, comprising tunnels, bridges and formation works. This project, won by the Heavy Civil Infrastructure business of the company in December 2019, consists of the main tunnel with a parallel escape tunnel and a ballast-less track that runs inside the main tunnel.
