About Rail Vikas Nigam

History

Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) was established with the primary mission of executing the National Rail Vikas Yojana (NRVY), a significant initiative aimed at enhancing railway infrastructure in India. The inception of NRVY dates back to the historic announcement made by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his Independence Day speech on August 15, 2002. Subsequently, NRVY was formally launched by Prime Minister Vajpayee on December 26, 2002, and RVNL was incorporated as a company under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, on January 24, 2003. The organisation commenced its operations in 2005 with the constitution of its Board of Directors. RVNL's core objectives are twofold. Firstly, it focuses on bolstering the capacity of railway infrastructure, a critical aspect of improving the country's transportation system. Secondly, it aims to mobilise additional financial resources for special-purpose vehicle projects. In September 2013, it achieved Miniratna status, demonstrating its growth and standing. Over nine consecutive years, the Department of Public Enterprises consistently rated the company as "Excellent," affirming its dedication and performance. Additionally, during 2017-2022, in four out of the five years, RVNL secured the top rank among Railway Public Sector Enterprises. This entity is engaged in the comprehensive management of projects, spanning from initial conceptualisation to the final commissioning stages. It plays an integral role in establishing project-specific Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). A significant milestone in RVNL's journey was the opening of its initial public offering (IPO) on 29 March 2019. Notably, it became the third public sector undertaking (PSU) related to railways to embark on this path, following in the footsteps of RITES and IRCON. In the IPO, RVNL offered a 12% stake with a price range set at ₹17 to ₹19 per share. The response to the IPO was positive, with it being oversubscribed by 1.78 times by the time it closed on 3 April, resulting in an impressive earning of ₹481 crore (approximately US$60 million). Following this successful IPO, RVNL secured its place on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) on April 19, 2019, marking a significant step in its journey towards contributing to the development of India's railway infrastructure.
