Bhubaneswar: State-owned NBCC (India) Ltd has secured a Rs 37.74 crore contract from the Odisha government’s Fisheries and Animal Resources Development (F&ARD) Department for the construction and expansion of veterinary and livestock infrastructure across multiple districts in the state.
The project involves the development of a wide range of animal healthcare and support facilities aimed at strengthening veterinary services and livestock management in rural and semi-urban areas.
These include regional veterinary hospitals, polyclinics, PCR rooms, diagnostic laboratories, veterinary dispensaries, sub-block veterinary dispensaries, livestock aid centres, livestock resource centres, and administrative offices.
According to a regulatory filing by NBCC, the work has been awarded by the F&ARD Department, Odisha, and carries an estimated value of Rs 37.74 crore, excluding Goods and Services Tax.
The project is expected to enhance access to veterinary healthcare, improve disease diagnosis capabilities, and support livestock-based livelihoods across the state.
The expansion of veterinary infrastructure is also seen as a step towards strengthening Odisha’s animal husbandry ecosystem and improving service delivery to farmers and livestock owners.
NBCC, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, continues to expand its project portfolio through assignments in infrastructure development, construction, and project management consultancy across the country.
