IRCTC signs MoU with RITES for railway station development works

New Delhi. IRCTC has  signed a MoU with RITES which will undertake design and detailed engineering for the projects in addition to managing the bid process for selection of agencies that will carry out the  construction work. RITES Ltd will provide its services to the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism  Corporation (IRCTC) for projects to upgrade railway stations and allied facilities.
 
Dr A K Manocha, CMD, IRCTC, who signed the MoU today with RITES CMD Rajeev Mehrotra, said they are in the process of accelerating the development works and ensure that all projects are completed on  schedule.
 
Recently the Indian Railways decided to hand over the management and operation of its retiring rooms  and dormitories to the IRCTC with a view to making better use of the existing infrastructure. 
 
RITES will carry out site surveys at the railway stations and prepare master plans, designs and  drawings and budget estimates for the project. It will also prepare project specifications, tender  schedule and documents for the bid process and help IRCTC in finalising the contractors.
