New Delhi, India (Urban Transport News): In a significant stride towards bolstering India's railway infrastructure, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), an entity under the Ministry of Railways responsible for the development of the nation's primary railway lines, has entered into a strategic collaboration with TYPSA. This collaboration entails TYPSA being entrusted with a crucial contract for the design and tender of construction contracts, along with the supervision of a substantial railway section spanning over 68 kilometers. This railway segment is a vital component of the new rail link connecting the cities of Yavatmal and Nanded, both located in the state of Maharashtra.

RVNL, a publicly-owned company fully backed by the Ministry of Railways, has been established with the primary objective of addressing India's critical infrastructure needs. It operates by mobilizing extrabudgetary resources and spearheading projects aimed at enhancing the creation and capacity-building of high-speed railway infrastructure within the nation.

Under the terms of this contract, TYPSA and RVNL are working in close coordination. This collaboration extends to organizing technical visits that facilitate valuable knowledge exchange and sharing of international railway experiences. These interactions offer an exceptional learning opportunity for the technical and managerial personnel of RVNL, providing insights from TYPSA's extensive involvement in railway projects both in Spain and across the globe.

Recently, in early October, a distinguished delegation from RVNL, led by Mritunjay Pratap Singh, the Executive Director of RVNL, visited TYPSA's ongoing railway projects. This visit provided an invaluable opportunity for the RVNL team to witness and understand the intricacies of major railway undertakings supervised by TYPSA. Notable projects on the itinerary included the FGV Control Post and Metro Line 10 in Valencia, the remodelling of Chamartin Station in Madrid, and the rail access development to Terminal 1 of El Prat Airport in Barcelona.

TYPSA extends its gratitude to ADIF and the Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) for their unwavering support and cooperation throughout this visit. Their collaborative efforts played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of this mission, which exceeded all expectations.

The partnership between TYPSA and RVNL signifies a crucial step towards strengthening India's railway network. By leveraging international expertise and knowledge sharing, this collaboration is poised to bring about transformative developments in India's rail infrastructure, fostering progress and connectivity across the nation.
