At 9:18 am, RailTel Corporation of India was trading at ₹295 on the BSE, up ₹17.85, or 6.44%, from its previous close. The RailTel share price had ended the previous session at ₹277.15, down 0.98%.

Order Covers Infrastructure Services

The ₹166.80 crore order relates to the continuation of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) services being provided by RailTel to EPFO.

The latest contract adds to the company’s recent order wins. On August 12, RailTel received a separate work order worth ₹63 crore from the Deendayal Port Authority, excluding taxes.

The company has been securing contracts across government and public-sector organisations, with the latest EPFO order extending an existing service arrangement rather than representing a new engagement.

RailTel’s quarterly earnings for the period ending June 2026 showed a sharp increase in revenue, while profit was largely flat. The company reported net profit of ₹66 crore for the quarter, largely unchanged from the year-ago period. Revenue from operations rose 20.1% to ₹893.2 crore from ₹743.8 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

The June-quarter numbers were released against the backdrop of continued order activity, including contracts from government-linked organisations.

The stock’s market capitalisation stood at around ₹8,894.81 crore.
