Indian Railways, which has already made a massive allocation of funds to the tune of Rs. 2,51,000 crore for the modernisation of its rail tracks and signalling systems, rolling stock modernisation, construction of the dedicated freight corridors and railway stations upgrade, is expected to execute this modernisation through public-private partnerships.

We already have an ongoing dialogue with Indian Railways and I hope that this office opening underlines the commitment to both Indian Railways as a customer but also state authorities responsible for mass transit as an important market."   

 

IRG's Bangalore office will accommodate 25 people and initially will host IRG's Business Development and Engineering Design teams. The office will be equipped with modern IT equipment providing excellent connectivity with customers and other business units of IRG.
