Part of a Strong Growth Momentum

This order follows closely on the heels of another major win for RailTel. On July 8, 2025, the PSU secured a ₹96.99 crore order from the Central Warehousing Corporation, further expanding its portfolio of high-value digital infrastructure contracts.

As of May 5, 2025, RailTel’s total order book stood at ₹6,616 crore, highlighting the company’s robust business pipeline. According to analysts, RailTel aims to secure at least ₹4,000 crore worth of new orders in the current financial year, indicating a sharp growth trajectory in both public and private sector contracts.

Backed by Indian Railways, Focused on Digital India

As a Ministry of Railways-backed Navratna PSU, RailTel plays a vital role in expanding digital infrastructure for both central and state government entities. Its growing order book reflects strong demand for its ICT, telecom, and managed services in mission-critical areas like e-governance, defense communications, smart cities, and rural connectivity.
