Summary of RailTel Corp of India's latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.
In the analyst call held on July 29, 2025, RailTel's management provided a positive outlook for the fiscal year 2025-26, anticipating a revenue growth of approximately 25%. The company reported a strong start to the year, achieving operating revenue of INR 744 crores in Q1 of FY'26, up 33% from INR 558 crores in the same period last year. Total revenue rose 31% to INR 758 crores compared to INR 578 crores year-over-year. The profit before tax (PBT) increased by 34% to INR 89 crores, while profit after tax (PAT) grew by 36% to INR 66 crores.
Management highlighted an order booking of INR 721 crores in Q1, significantly up from INR 218 crores in Q1 of FY 2024-25, leading to a robust order book of INR 7,197 crores, which includes nearly INR 500 crores attributed to the Kavach projects. A notable achievement was the nil comments received from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) regarding the financial results of FY 2024-25.
For the telecom sector, management noted that while growth will remain stunted, it acts as a catalyst for project business income. They indicated a continued preference for high double-digit growth in project revenues, particularly from railway tenders and state government projects, including Smart City initiatives. Additionally, management sees potential in expanding international business, although related ventures will take time to develop.
Execution timelines for the Kavach orders have been estimated to extend into 2026-27, with fieldwork already initiated. The company's overall margin guidance ranges between 11% to 12% for the year. Capex for FY'26 is projected at INR 350 crores, primarily directed towards data centers and telecom projects.
