KUALA LUMPUR: IJM Corp Bhd
’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IJM Construction Sdn Bhd has accepted a RM1.4bil letter of award from New Pantai Expressway Sdn Bhd for the design and build of the New Pantai Highway Extension (NPE 2).
In a statement, the conglomerate said the fully elevated 15km extension will connect the Pantai Dalam Toll Plaza on the NPE to the Jalan Istana Interchange via Jalan Syed Putra, creating a new urban link in southern Kuala Lumpur.
Construction is scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is expected to be completed within 48 months.
“This award moves the NPE Extension from planning into delivery. It also marks our third project above RM1bil this year after the RM1.4bil fast-track data-centre in Johor and the RM2.135bil hyperscale data-centre development in Elmina.
“Together, these wins reflect IJM Construction’s progress in delivering large-scale projects across industrial and infrastructure sectors,” group CEO and managing director Datuk Lee Chun Fai said.
IJM Construction’s outstanding order book has reached a record high of about RM15.2bil, including the group’s share of projects in the United Kingdom and Singapore.
In Malaysia, the domestic order book stands at around RM9.3bil, supported by a balanced portfolio of industrial and infrastructure projects that continues to drive the group’s growth.
