Hill International Expands Presence in India with Multiple Rail / Metro Project Selections

PHILADELPHIA and GURGAON, India, May 03, 2018 -- Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced that it has received two contracts in the rail and metro sector in India. These awards, which have a total project value estimated at nearly $4 billion, continue the trend of Hill’s increasing presence in the fast-growing Indian infrastructure market.

The first contract is from Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) to provide project management services for an effort that will double the 120 km (75 miles) of rail line in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India. 

The second project entails providing Quality and Safety Audit Consultancy for the World Bank-funded Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor, namely the Sahnewal-Khurja section and Khurja-Dadri link. Hill will be working in conjunction with the consortium of Italferr S.P.A and local consultant Vogue Construction and Consultancy Services for the related infrastructure for the 397 km Sahnewal-Khurja section and double line electrified railway track for the Khurja-Dadri link (approximately 46 km).

"Doubling the Varanasi Rail Line and Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor are ambitious projects that present several technical challenges," said Regional President for the Middle East, Abdo E. Kardous. “However, Hill’s expertise and experience will be valuable in helping both undertakings achieve their goals and support the region’s ongoing growth.”
