2026-09-07 · 1 source · Business Standard Markets

In short

BCPL emerged as the lowest bidder, or L1, for an Eastern Railways project worth Rs 54.74 crore. The work includes replacing old catenary wire, contact wire and droppers between Durgapur and Sitarampur, and old structures in the Panagarh-Waria section.

This could lead to a contract win for BCPL, but the report does not say the award is final. It also does not give a project timeline.
