Ellaktor lands major Doha metro project
Ellaktor subsidiary Aktor has secured the biggest construction project ever obtained by a Greek company abroad by signing the contract for the study and construction of the Gold Line Underground metro line in Doha, Qatar, worth 3.2 billion euros.
Aktor leads the ALYSJ JV consortium with a 32 percent stake. Sources say that the other participants in the consortium are Indias Larsen & Toubro, Turkeys Yapi Merkezi and STFA, and Qatars Al Jaber Engineering. Gold Line will be one of four Doha metro lines and forms part of the preparations for the 2022 World Cup.
