ITI Limited, the country’s first public sector undertaking established after Independence and a leading name in telecom manufacturing, has secured a major infrastructure project worth ₹72.76 crore in Himachal Pradesh. The company has received a work order from the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Lahaul & Spiti, for the construction of a modern Ice-Hockey Rink at Kaza Soma in the Lahaul & Spiti district.
The project marks a significant step toward developing world-class sports infrastructure in one of India’s most remote and high-altitude regions. Situated at an elevation of nearly 12,000 feet, Kaza lies in the heart of the Spiti Valley, an area known for its extreme climatic conditions and growing potential for winter sports and adventure tourism.
Under the awarded contract, ITI Limited will build a full-fledged Ice-Hockey Rink designed to meet professional standards for both training and competitive events. The scope of work also includes the installation of a 500-kilowatt solar power backup system, ensuring uninterrupted operations in the challenging terrain. In addition, the project will feature advanced lighting systems, CCTV surveillance, and other essential accessories to provide a safe and spectator-friendly environment.
