Our history

A brand name synonymous with quality and trust.

Since 1976

Built on a value system, not a slogan.

RVR Projects Pvt. Ltd. is a construction and infrastructure giant with more than four decades of enormous expertise and substantial success.

Founded by R Venkateswara Rao in 1976 with just 10 personnel, the company eventually evolved into an overpowering construction force. Today we are a team of committed personnel working on diversified verticals like Buildings, Transportation, Irrigation, Water Supply, Tunnels and Industrial Structures.

Through execution of exclusive EPC projects and setting benchmarks for competitors, RVR has transformed into a brand name synonymous with Quality and Trust. By commissioning a 12.8 km long Mechanized Coal Conveyer System at Krishnapatnam port in 2014, RVR has forayed into Built-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects.

Perfecting the knowledge gained over 40 years and recapitulating the experience to perform better makes RVR a pioneer in the construction sphere. RVR’s pursuit of excellence is a manifestation of success-driven strategies resulting in customer delight.

Rational decision making, a professional working environment, competitiveness and commitment to advanced goals have driven the company towards substantial success. Our strong forward-thinking combined with cutting-edge technology and unparalleled quality control enables us to offer solutions that optimize the use of our clients’ resources and guarantee long-term competitiveness. We are keen on environment-friendly construction and the safety of the workers.
