Order Execution Timeline Set Till July 2030

According to the official exchange filing, RailTel received the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the contract, valued at ₹96,99,80,118 (including tax). The execution timeline for the complete implementation of the smart warehousing solution is scheduled to run until July 6, 2030.

This contract aligns with RailTel’s expanding footprint in digital transformation projects across government and public sector entities, reinforcing its expertise in deploying smart and IoT-based infrastructure.

About the Project: Smart Warehousing at Scale

The initiative is part of the CWC’s modernization efforts to integrate technology-enabled solutions in warehousing and storage, particularly for foodgrain logistics. Once implemented, the smart warehousing system is expected to enhance inventory management, track storage conditions, and improve operational efficiency across the facilities.

Stock Performance: RailTel Down Despite Contract Win

Despite the major contract announcement, RailTel shares traded lower on July 8. The stock was down 0.87% at ₹409.40, after opening at ₹412.00. Over the last one month, the stock has declined by over 10.4%, reflecting broader market volatility and sectoral corrections.

Investors and analysts will likely watch how this large-scale contract impacts the company’s financials in the upcoming quarters.

Strategic Win for RailTel

This win adds to RailTel’s growing list of strategic contracts in sectors such as e-office deployment, video surveillance, smart cities, and enterprise networking. The PSU continues to leverage its extensive Pan-India optic fiber network and ICT expertise to drive digital transformation across India’s public sector landscape.
