Contract details and project scope
As reported by The Edge Malaysia, Aneka Jaringan Holdings Bhd secured a contract worth RM53.35 million to carry out piling work for the proposed Rio City Town Centre development in Selangor.In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on Monday, the group said its wholly owned subsidiary, Aneka Jaringan Sdn Bhd, had received a letter of award from EDP Consulting Group Sdn Bhd, acting on behalf of IOI Rio Mall Sdn Bhd, IOI Hospitality Sdn Bhd and IOI Rio Towers Sdn Bhd.
Rio City Town Centre is part of IOI Properties Group Bhd’s 100-acre integrated IOI Rio City development in Bandar Puteri Puchong. The development has an estimated gross development value of RM12 billion and includes residential, office, retail and hospitality components, including the planned IOI Mall Rio.
The bored piling contract involves drilling deep holes into the ground and filling them with reinforced concrete to support building foundations. Aneka Jaringan managing director Pang Tse Fui said the Rio City Town Centre project represents another meaningful addition to the company’s project portfolio in the Klang Valley, as the group remains focused on disciplined execution, strong safety standards and on-schedule completion.
Cost pressures continue to weigh on performance

For the first nine months of FY2026, Aneka Jaringan posted a net loss of RM281,000, compared with a net profit of RM3.64 million in the same period a year earlier, although revenue increased 15.9% to RM227.05 million from RM195.83 million.
