On July 1, 2025, RITES Limited, a Schedule ‘A’ Government of India enterprise, informed the stock exchanges about two significant developments. The company has secured a key infrastructure order from South Western Railway in India and a separate international contract from the African Rail Company. Both orders are expected to enhance RITES’ role in transport infrastructure and reflect its growing credibility at home and abroad.
RITES-Aarvee JV has been awarded a Letter of Acceptance by South Western Railway for the Tumakuru Station Redevelopment Project. The scope of work includes engineering, procurement, and construction for civil works, signal and telecommunication systems, and electrical general services.
The contract, awarded by a domestic entity, is to be executed within 540 days from the appointed date. The total value of the order stands at ₹37.81 crore, including GST. The transaction is between the Government and the Government Company. The official disclosure was signed by Ashok Mishra, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, who stated, “The transaction is between Government and Government Company.”
RITES has also received an international purchase order from the African Rail Company for the supply and commissioning of overhauled in-service Cape Gauge ALCO Diesel Electric Locomotives. These locomotives will be upgraded with new Cape Gauge Bogies, Traction Motors, Control System, and Air Brakes. The order also includes warranty support and the deployment of RITES technical staff.
The contract is international in nature and will be executed over a 9-month period. It is valued at $3.6 million (CIF). The project covers operations across Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Botswana. The company confirmed in the filing that it is “Not a Related Party Transaction.”
