RailTel Corporation of India has landed a significant domestic project worth ₹216.81 crore, awarded by Bihar State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. The initiative falls under the Mukhyamantree Surakshit Sushaasit Shahar (Safe City) scheme, which aims to bolster urban security infrastructure across Bihar.
The official work order was received on 4 August 2025 and is scheduled to be executed over a 5-year period, concluding by 4 August 2030.
The ₹216.81 crore order involves end-to-end implementation of public safety technologies under the Safe City initiative. This move underscores RailTel’s growing expertise in ICT solutions and system integration, particularly in projects with social impact.
The contract, which is purely domestic, is not associated with any promoter group interests or related-party transactions. It further cements RailTel’s position as a trusted partner for state-led smart governance projects.
RailTel’s project win arrives on the back of a robust Q1 FY26 earnings report. For the quarter ending June 2025, the company reported a 36% year-on-year jump in net profit, rising to ₹66 crore from ₹49 crore in the same period last year. Revenue from operations also surged by 33.2%, touching ₹744 crore compared to ₹558 crore a year ago. This performance reflects both operational efficiency and the company’s ability to secure high-value contracts across sectors.
