IRCTC and IRFC are now Navratna CPSEs, gaining enhanced financial autonomy. This move allows them to invest up to ₹1,000 crore independently, boosting their expansion and modernization.
The Government of India has granted Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE) status to Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC), enhancing their financial autonomy and operational flexibility. A CPSE is a government-owned entity in which the central government holds at least a 51% stake, playing a crucial role in national economic development.
With this elevation, IRCTC and IRFC have become the 25th and 26th Navratna CPSEs, enabling them to make independent investments of up to ₹1,000 crore without prior government approval. This status is expected to streamline decision-making and enhance competitiveness.
IRFC, established in 1986, is the primary financier for Indian Railways’ infrastructure projects, while IRCTC, founded in 1999, handles ticketing, catering, and tourism services.
The share price of both companies could witness market reactions following this development, as investors assess the long-term impact of their upgraded status.
With this inclusion, IRCTC and IRFC join other Navratna CPSEs such as Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) and Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), strengthening their position in India’s public sector landscape.
