Afcons Infrastructure emerges lowest bidder for railway project in Croatia worth over Rs 6,800 crore
Afcons Infrastructure Limited has emerged as the lowest bidder (L1) for a major international railway project in Croatia. In a regulatory filing, the company announced that it has secured the top position in the bidding process conducted by HŽ Infrastruktura d.o.o. (HŽ Infrastructure Ltd), the state-owned rail infrastructure manager in the Republic of Croatia.
The project involves the reconstruction of the existing line and the construction of a second track on the Dugo Selo–Novska railway route. It also includes overhead electrification, along with signalling and telecommunication works—making it a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade.
The estimated contract value is EUR 677 million, which is approximately ₹6,800 crore (excluding taxes). The execution period for the project has not been explicitly mentioned but will follow standard timelines for similar international railway projects.
This win marks a significant milestone for Afcons Infrastructure, boosting its presence in the European market and reinforcing its capabilities in large-scale transportation and infrastructure development.
In the meantime, on July 17, the company also emerged as the lowest bidder for two key road construction packages in Croatia, part of the strategic A1 Motorway stretch connecting Zagreb, Split, and Dubrovnik. The first package (J324/23), worth €240.59 million (approx. ₹2,398 crore), involves building a 9-km stretch between Rudine and Slano. The second (J325/23), valued at €214.45 million (approx. ₹2,137.44 crore), covers 11.5 km from Slano to Puo Mravinjac. Both contracts, awarded by Croatian Motorways Ltd, are BOQ/item rate based and have a timeline of 42 months for completion.
