RailTel cancels ₹26.72 Crore LOA from South East Central Railway due to cost escalation.
RailTel Corporation of India Ltd. cancelled a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) valued at ₹26.72 Crore from South East Central Railway. The cancellation is due to unviable project costs arising from increased prices of materials like OFC and HDPE pipes, attributed to the prevailing war situation.
The cancellation of a ₹26.72 Crore order, while significant, is unlikely to have a material impact on the overall operations of RailTel, hence the medium impact.
The company had to cancel a significant order due to unfavorable market conditions leading to cost escalation, which is a negative development.
RailTel Corporation of India Ltd. has informed exchanges about the cancellation of a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) awarded by South East Central Railway. The LOA was for the supply, transportation, trenching, laying, backfilling, Horizontal directional drilling, HDPE pipe insertion, blowing, jointing & termination of OFC, with an estimated order size of ₹26,72,60,140/-
Due to the prevailing war situation and a consequent steep increase in the prices of OFC, HDPE pipes, and other materials, the project cost has become unviable. Consequently, RailTel has decided not to execute the work under the said tender, leading to the termination of the contract by the customer.
This decision follows RailTel's earlier intimation letter dated March 7, 2026, regarding the securing of this major order.
