RailTel is a Navratna company.

The central government had granted Navratna status to Railtel Corporation of India Ltd in August 2024.

The grant of ‘Navratna’ status typically leads to an enhanced delegation of powers, more operational freedom, and financial autonomy which will give huge impetus to these companies. The Navratna companies have the autonomy to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore without seeking approval from the central government.
