Incorporated in 2000, RailTel provides telecommunications network and infrastructure services, managed data center and hosting services, and system integration services to government and non-government customers.

In addition to creating a nationwide broadband and multimedia network by laying optical fiber cables along the railway track, the company was incorporated with the objective of modernizing the existing telecommunications system for train control, operation and security. Its optic fiber network on June 30 covered 55,000 km and 5,677 railway stations in various cities of the country.

It has also been selected for the implementation of various mission-mode projects for the government, including the inclusion of the National Knowledge Network (NKN), Bharat Net, and optical fiber-based connectivity projects in Northeast India.

It also runs information and communication technology (ICT) projects. ICICI Securities, IDBI Capital, and SBI Capital Markets have been selected as book-running lead managers for this issue.
