New Delhi: Indian Railways has been transforming and developing the infrastructure at a very fast pace, which includes manufacturing and deployment of trains equipped with modern amenities, laying of new Railway tracks, redevelopment of stations. If you travel by train frequently, you must have realised that the speed of trains and the level of amenities at the stations are gradually improving. To speed up this change, Indian Railways has opened its vault. It is reported that the Railways has prepared a massive investment plan of more than Rs 14,000 crore to improve the operation of modern trains, especially the 'Vande Bharat Express'.
The huge amount would not only be spent on trains, but also on basic amenities that make your journey safe and comfortable. The impact of the big decision of Railways could also be seen in the stock market, where investors could keep a close watch on the shares of four major companies associated with the Railways.
Among the companies that seem to be benefiting directly from this investment is, 'IRCON International Limited' (IRCON). This government company was established in 1976 and its projects include work related to railways infrastructure, highways and metro projects. Its business spans across India and in more than 25 countries. As of September 2025, the company had a huge order book of Rs 23,865 crore, of which 75 percent is for railway projects. If the Railways goes ahead with the massive investment for Vande Bharat trains, then IRCON is expected to get big contracts.
On the other hand, 'Texmaco Rail and Engineering Limited' is also standing firm in this race. Apart from making wagons and coaches, this company also lays tracks and signalling. The company's order book stood at Rs 6,367 crore as of September 2025. As the railways moves towards modernity, the demand for engineering capacity from companies like Texmaco is also increasing, which can improve its performance in the coming quarters.
Titagarh Rail Systems Limited has emerged as a big player in the world of coach manufacturing. Its joint venture with BHEL (BHEL) for the Vande Bharat project makes it different from other companies. The company had orders worth Rs 28,403 crore as of September 2025. Since the focus of railways is now more on passenger and metro coaches, Titagarh is considered a long-race horse in this sector.
Finally, we talk about 'Rail Vikas Nigam Limited' (RVNL), which is considered the backbone of railway infrastructure. Whether it is building a new line, doubling or renovating stations, RVNL is present everywhere. According to the data of September 2025, the company has the heaviest order book of Rs 90,000 crore. RVNL's role is going to be very important in the Amrit Bharat Station scheme and the expansion of Vande Bharat, which makes it a legendary stock in the sector.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Railways informed that Indian Railways is close to completing the electrification of almost its entire broad-gauge network. The press release mentioned that Railways has completed more than 99% electrification and the remaining stretches expected to finish soon. "Between 2019 and 2025, Indian Railways electrified over 33,000 route kilometres, working at an average speed of more than 15 Route KMs every single day," it stated.
During the current financial year 2025-26 (data has been taken up to November 2025), more than 4,224 LHB coaches have been manufactured. Between 2014 and 2025, Railways produced more than 42,600 LHB coaches.
