The project, valued at ₹2,09,78,63,937, was aimed at implementing education quality enhancement initiatives in Bihar under the PM SHRI scheme.

Cancellation of Work Order by BEPC

RailTel had previously announced the receipt of this large-scale project through a letter of acceptance dated September 13, 2025. The order, issued by the State Project Director, BEPC, involved the implementation of technology-enabled solutions for improving educational quality across schools in Bihar. 

However, as per the latest communication, BEPC has cancelled the work order due to unavoidable reasons. The company has confirmed the development under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
