ITI has secured a major infrastructure project worth Rs 72.76 crore to build an ice hockey rink in Kaza, located in the Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh.

Awarded by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, the project aims to enhance winter sports infrastructure in the Spiti Valley, a high-altitude region at around 12,000 feet above sea level. ITI will construct a full-scale rink, supported by modern facilities such as a 500 kW solar power backup system, CCTV surveillance, and lighting systems. The project is part of the High-Altitude Sports Training Centre initiative, which focuses on youth development and promoting sports tourism in the region.

ITI Limited's Chairman and Managing Director, Rajesh Rai, said that the rink would significantly boost ice hockey facilities in the state, and enhance Spiti’s standing as a winter sports hub. The company is also involved in BharatNet Phase III, improving connectivity across the state.
