Rolta India has bagged an engineering design project for a substantial nuclear reactor system of international importance.

According to reports, it is one of the first of its kind globally and is a very complex and technically challenging engineering design project, which demands an upper-level of specialized know-how in conceptual design, system growth, finite element analysis and security analysis plus multi disciplinary engineering capability and domain proficiency.

The compamy was chosen primarily because of the widespread experience and knowledge of its engineering and design groups in nuclear systems, reactor security analysis and project direction.

This project offers up Rolta a chance to work on complicated nuclear technology related projects utilizing superior technologies.

With a range of international contracts signed by the Indian government, the nuclear power engineering sector in India is progressively offering greater chances for companies like Rolta to offer better engineering services.

While Rolta has been involved in several other projects in the Indian nuclear industry, this project is likely to be important in establishing Rolta's track record in the nuclear segment.

While speaking on the occasion, Mr. K. K. Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of Rolta said, "We are happy to be part of this prestigious project and will continue to provide high end engineering services in the field of nuclear energy. We are very pleased that our engineering strengths are being recognized for participation in such sophisticated projects."

At 11:49 a. m., the shares of the company surged 0.7% to trade at Rs 180.95 on the BSE.
