Bridge and Roof Company to re-enter roads sector, wagon manufacturing

Bridge and Roof Company (India) Ltd, a construction company under the Department of Heavy Industry, is looking to re-enter the roads sector and wagon manufacturing.

Power, oil and railways currently contribute a major part of the company’s total turnover, which stood at around ₹3,082 crore in 2018-19.

According to Sunil Kumar Sarder, Chairman and Managing Director, B&R had exited these sectors for a variety of reasons.

For instance, it had got into a dispute with NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) and subsequently exited the roads sector in 2013. However, it has won an arbitration case against NHAI and is exploring re-entry.
