Companies interested in the new Alamein-Ain Sokhna electric rail project will be asked to submit their financial offers in October, once the Transport Ministry completes its review of their technical bids, Deputy Minister Amr Shaath tells Amwal Al Ghad. The offers came from nine international consortiums, which include among their ranks at least five or six local companies, such as Orascom Construction, Samcrete Egypt, and El Sewedy. The electric rail line is part of a government plan to develop Egypt’s railway network.
