RVNL Bags Rs 143.3 Crore Order From South Central Railway To Upgrade Electric Traction System

New Delhi: Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Railways, on Saturday announced that it has signed a letter of agreement (LoA) for a new contract worth Rs 143.3 crore with South Central Railway. The project involves the upgrade of the electric traction system in the Salem division of Southern Railway. 'It is hereby informed that Rail Vikas Nigam Limited has received LOA from Southern Railway for Upgradation work of Electric traction system,' the company said in its stock exchange filing. Specifically, the scope of work includes converting the existing 1x25 kV traction system to a more advanced 2x25 kV system on the Salem Junction – Podanur Junction and Irugur – Coimbatore Junction – Podanur Junction sections. According to the filing, the upgrade will help Southern Railway enhance its capacity and meet the target of 3,000 metric tonnes of freight loading. 'The project will be executed over a period of 24 months and includes applicable taxes within the Rs 143.3 crore cost,' it added in its filing. This comes close on the heels of RVNL emerging as the lowest bidder for another railway project worth Rs 213.22 crore from South Central Railway, as reported on June 30. Despite a relatively subdued performance in FY25 so far, the company has reaffirmed its revenue guidance of Rs 20,000–Rs 22,000 crore for the current financial year. RVNL's shares ended flat at Rs 391.2 apiece on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on Friday. The company continues to maintain strong momentum with its diversified project portfolio, including construction of new railway lines, doubling of tracks, electrification, metro projects, major and cable-stayed bridges, and institutional infrastructure. Meanwhile, in a strategic push toward clean energy and sustainability, RVNL is also exploring partnerships in the nuclear energy space. In June, media reports stated that the company is in discussions with Russia's state-owned atomic energy company Rosatom to build Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for its ongoing mega infrastructure projects, such as the Rishikesh-Karnaprayag railway line.

Notably, he is wanted in India for his alleged role in the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, one of the biggest banking frauds in the country.

He has been taken into custody in connection with the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam. The action comes after extradition requests sent by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The next hearing in the case is scheduled for July 17. On that day, Nehal is likely to apply for bail, but US prosecutors are expected to oppose the request, officials told PTI. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But who is Nehal Modi? And what is the case he has been arrested in? Let's take a look: Who is Nehal Modi? Why has he been arrested? The younger brother of Nirav Modi was arrested on July 4 by local authorities in the United States. The action was taken following a Red Corner Notice issued by Interpol, based on requests from the Central Bureau of Investigation and the Enforcement Directorate. Notably, his arrest comes after a long legal and diplomatic process, during which Nehal tried to get the Red Corner Notice withdrawn, but his challenge was unsuccessful. So, who exactly is Nehal Modi? He is wanted in India for his role in the Rs 13,000-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam, which is one of the biggest banking frauds the country has seen. Nehal was born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, and speaks English, Gujarati, and Hindi. Nehal Modi has been taken into custody in connection with the multi-crore Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam. Image: X He is accused of helping his brother, Nirav Modi, by moving and hiding the proceeds of the alleged crime. Investigations have found that Nehal was the director of Firestar Diamonds USA, a company that has since shut down. He was also connected to the Ithaca Trust, which was created to help fund and acquire property for Nirav Modi, according to India Today. The trust reportedly received money that had been moved from Letters of Undertaking issued by PNB into fake companies. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Officials said Nehal helped in hiding and shifting large amounts of illegal funds using shell companies and foreign transactions, breaking Indian laws in the process. He has also been named in the charge sheet filed by the ED and is accused of destroying evidence and 'knowingly and intentionally' helping Nirav Modi carry out the alleged fraud, officials told PTI. After the PNB case became public, Nehal, along with Mihir R Bhansali, a close aide of Nirav, allegedly moved 50 kilograms of gold and a large amount of cash from Dubai. The two also reportedly told fake directors not to mention Nehal's name to investigators. Nirav Modi fled the country in January 2018. Image: News18 The US authorities are pursuing extradition proceedings against Nehal based on two charges: one for money laundering under Section 3 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, and one count of criminal conspiracy under Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What is the PNB scam? Where is Nirav Modi? Nehal Modi has been named in the chargesheet filed in the Punjab National Bank (PNB) scam case. He is accused of helping his brother, Nirav Modi, obtain fake credit letters as part of a multi-billion-dollar fraud. The Rs 13,500 crore PNB loan scam came to light in early 2018. It involved fugitive businessmen Mehul Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi, along with others, including some employees of PNB. Nirav and Choksi left the country in January 2018, just before the bank flagged the issue to the authorities. Notably, Nirav was arrested in the United Kingdom in March 2019 and has remained in a London jail since then. Meanwhile, Mehul Choksi is currently in Antigua and is involved in separate legal matters, including a case related to his citizenship. Mehul Choksi was taken into custody in April by Belgian officials. Image: News18/File Photo On May 17, the UK High Court said that sending Nirav Modi back to India to face trial would not go against his human rights. Although the court has approved his extradition, the process is still on hold because Nirav has filed multiple appeals to delay it. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier this year, the Belgian government confirmed that 65-year-old Choksi was arrested in Antwerp after India requested his extradition. Choksi had challenged his arrest in a Belgian court and asked for immediate release, claiming there were faults in the process. The court dismissed his plea. He was taken into custody in April by Belgian officials. With inputs from agencies
