The consistently strong financial results of IRFC tell the tale of the immense growth in the railway infrastructure of the country.

In view of the massive railway infrastructure investment envisaged as per National Rail Plan 2030, IRFC can foresee a sustained growth in revenue and profitability in the coming years, in view of IRFC financing a major portion of the CAPEX outlay of Indian Railways, especially over the last 6 years."
