Mumbai, Apr 25 (IBNS): The Heavy Civil Infrastructure Business of L&T Construction has made a major breakthrough in the State of Qatar by winning a prestigious US $740 million (approx. ` 4510 crores) order from Qatar Railways Company for the design and construction of the Gold Line of the Doha Metro project in Qatar.
The contract was signed in the presence of Eng Saad Al Muhannadi, CEO of Qatar Railways Company.

L&T secured the order along with its joint venture partners Aktor - Greece, Yapi Merkezi Insaat - Turkey, STFA Group - Turkey and Al Jaber Engineering - Qatar. The total value of order for the joint venture is US $3.3 billion (approx. `20,000 crores).

The project is scheduled to be completed in 54 months. The contract includes the design  and construction of twin tunnels for an approximate length of 11 Km and nine underground metro stations including architectural finishes and mechanical, electrical and plumbing works.
