    RailTel won a small Rs 27.4 cr 5-year DR order from Cotton Corporation of India.

    RailTel Corporation of India has received a domestic work order worth Rs 27.38 crore excluding tax from The Cotton Corporation of India.

The size is very small versus RailTel's FY26 revenue of Rs 4,277 crore, so it adds only modest multi-year revenue.
