GRSE to Deliver Modular Steel Bridges for Indian Army in Arunachal Pradesh
Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers Limited (GRSE) has recently signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Army to supply modular steel bridges in Arunachal Pradesh. This initiative is set to enhance connectivity in the strategically important region, ensuring swift and reliable infrastructure deployment.
GRSE, known for its expertise in designing and manufacturing modular steel bridges, has a strong track record of delivering durable and versatile solutions. These bridges are engineered to withstand varying load capacities and meet both Indian and international standards, including IRC and AASHTO. Their modular nature makes them ideal for quick assembly, enabling rapid deployment in remote and challenging terrains.
To date, GRSE has supplied over 5,800 modular bridges across India, including 44 bridges to the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) for installation in crucial areas. The latest collaboration with the Indian Army highlights the growing emphasis on strengthening infrastructure in border regions, aligning with India's broader goal of self-reliance under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
Beyond this MoU, GRSE has been actively working on advanced infrastructure solutions, including a partnership with BRO to develop cost-effective double-lane modular bridges. These bridges have already been successfully deployed in forward locations, proving their effectiveness in supporting military logistics and civilian accessibility.
The deployment of these modular steel bridges in Arunachal Pradesh is expected to significantly improve transportation and mobility in the region, reinforcing India's strategic infrastructure and ensuring better support for both defense and local development needs.
