The upward movement comes a day after RailTel informed the stock exchanges of a new board appointment. The Ministry of Railways has appointed Smt. Asha Sharma as a Non-official part-time Director (Independent Director) on the Board of RailTel for a three-year term or until further notice.
Earlier this month, the company informed the exchanges that it has received a significant project order from the North Central Railway. The domestic contract is valued at ₹22.75 crore (₹22,75,08,801) and is to be executed by April 30, 2026. The nature of the order is project-based, and all terms and conditions are as per the Letter of Acceptance (LOA).
This development further strengthens RailTel’s presence in the railway infrastructure space and highlights the company’s continued engagement in key government-backed digital and connectivity initiatives.
RailTel, a "Navratna" PSU under the Government of India, was established in 2000 to develop a nationwide broadband, VPN, telecom, and multimedia network. Its primary goal was to modernize Indian Railways' train control operations and safety systems. Today, RailTel's extensive network spans approximately 6,000 railway stations, connecting key commercial hubs across the country.
