RailTel Wins Rs 160 mn Signalling Order From North Western Railway

RailTel Corporation of India Limited (RailTel) has secured a signalling order worth Rs 16 crore (Rs 160 mn) from North Western Railway (NWR). The contract covers signalling works on the NWR network and was awarded through a competitive tender process. The assignment forms part of infrastructure enhancement by the railway zone. The value translates to Rs 160 mn, based on the standard conversion from crore to million.

RailTel is a public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Railways that provides broadband and telecom infrastructure as well as integrated telecom and signalling solutions to the rail sector. The company operates a fibre backbone across the national rail network and offers turnkey implementation services for digital and signalling projects. The project aligns with RailTel's strategic focus on railway technology and infrastructure services. Its service portfolio spans network management, data centre services and last mile connectivity to railway installations.

The scope of work under the contract includes design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of signalling equipment and associated civil works in designated sections. Implementation will be carried out by RailTel's engineering teams in coordination with NWR officials and according to the contract schedule. The contract value will be recorded in RailTel's order book for the current financial period. Work will follow prescribed safety protocols and quality assurance procedures mandated for railway projects.

The award will add to the firm's revenue visibility and operational workload while preserving its core business model. RailTel will leverage existing resources and technical expertise to execute the project while maintaining operational safety and quality standards. The company remains positioned to pursue similar contracts across other zones as part of its growth strategy. This addition to the order book supports the company's medium term revenue visibility and strengthens its market position.
