Texmaco wins Rs 15 crore DMRC contract for ballast-less track work in NCR

Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd has received a Rs 15.06 crore contract from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to install, test and commission ballast-less track systems across select stretches in the National Capital Region, the company said on Monday.

Ballast-less tracks use a concrete or asphalt slab instead of traditional stone ballast, allowing the rails to be fastened directly onto a rigid base.

The contract covers 5.8 km of track across Saket-G station on Line 11, Sarita Vihar Depot on Line 10 and Noida Electronic City station on Line 3. Work is scheduled to begin on 1 December and will be completed within 12 months, in line with DMRC’s safety and quality requirements, the statement said.

Managing Director Sudipta Mukherjee said the order reflects confidence in Texmaco’s engineering capabilities and aligns with Make in India priorities.

The company is also working on a larger DMRC project involving 58 km of track between Majlis Park and R.K. Ashram, with 22 km already completed along with crossings and turnouts, the release said.
