Cuttack, Odisha: RailTel Corporation of India Ltd, a government-owned Railway Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), has emerged in the spotlight after securing a significant new work order from the Cuttack Development Authority (CDA), Odisha. The project is valued at ₹15.84 crore (₹15,84,92,196 including taxes) and involves the deployment of AI-based digital billboards across the city.

Scope of the Project

This order signifies RailTel’s increasing footprint in smart city infrastructure and AI-driven urban development projects. The AI-based billboard project will integrate real-time data capabilities and intelligent display systems, aligning with India’s push toward digital and smart cities.

The awarded contract is aimed at improving public information dissemination, urban visibility, and civic communication through advanced AI-enabled displays. The expected date of project completion has been set for November 2, 2025, providing RailTel over a year to execute the entire scope of work.

Stock Market Reaction

Despite the positive development, RailTel shares closed slightly lower on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on July 1, 2025. The stock ended the day at ₹426.55, down 0.43% from the previous close. The mild drop comes amid broader market volatility and could be attributed to profit-booking or muted investor sentiment in the short term.

However, analysts suggest that strategic wins like this may strengthen RailTel’s revenue pipeline and boost investor confidence in the medium to long term.

This is not just a financial win for the PSU, but a strategic one that enhances its credibility in the AI and smart infrastructure space.
