The contract encompasses the design, construction, and operation of twin tunnels stretching from Film City in Goregaon, Mumbai to Khindipada in Mulund. The project also entails the construction of a box tunnel at Film City, along with associated electrical and mechanical works.

NCC holds a majority stake of 51 percent in this partnership, with J Kumar controlling the remaining 49 percent. Based on the contract's total value, NCC's share amounts to Rs 3,213.55 crore.

The project is slated to span five years in terms of construction, followed by a 10-year commitment for operation and maintenance.

Neerad Sharma, Head of Strategy at NCC, said that the company maintains a strong order book position, which currently stands at Rs 60,000 crore.

"Our project sites are fully operational, and we are well confident to state that the company is on track to achieve the projected 20 percent revenue growth," Sharma added.
