The full read
A low-risk addition. RITES secured a project management consultancy order from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University worth ₹175.41 crore (excluding GST) for campus infrastructure. The cost-plus contract spans 30 months, carrying minimal execution risk given the government counterparty. At over 7% of FY26 revenue, the order is material and adds incremental revenue visibility to a full pipeline.
