RITES Q4 Results: Navratna PSU posts 5% YoY rise in PAT to ₹133 crore, declares 26.50% dividend. Details here
Its revenue from operations dipped over 4% to ₹ 615 crore in the quarter under review, compared with ₹ 643 crore posted in the same period a year-ago. Year-on-year decrease in revenue is attributed to lesser revenue from quality assurance, a downtick in turnkey and almost no exports, the company said.
Segment-wise, the company saw an increase in revenue from consultancy during the March 2025 quarter. It stood at ₹ 362 crore, compared with ₹ 335 crore posted in the same quarter last year. However, revenue from turnkey construction projects declined to ₹ 202 crore from ₹ 259 crore on a YoY basis.
EBITDA in the March 2025 quarter stood at ₹ 189 crore, up by 6.2% YoY, with margins of 30.8%.
The company secured the highest-ever order book of ₹ 8,877 crore, with 150-plus orders worth ₹ 1,418 crore bagged in Q4.
Rahul Mithal, Chairman and Managing Director, RITES Limited, said, 'Concerted efforts this quarter in execution of high-margin projects has helped us achieve our objective of coming as close as possible to our previous financial year's performance, in line with our business strategy for this year.'
On the growth prospects, Mithal said, 'With an all-time high order book of ₹ 8877 crore and maintaining the trend of 'one order a day', we have built a strong platform for the year ahead, aiming for appreciable growth in our revenue.'
The railway company's board also recommended a final dividend, along with the Q4 results. The PSU firm declared a dividend of ₹ 2.65 per share (i.e. 26.50%) on equity shares of face value of ₹ 10 for the financial year 2024-25.
The dividend payment is subject to approval by shareholders in the ensuing 51st Annual General Meeting of the Company.
"Upon approval of shareholders, the dividend declared will be paid within thirty (30) days of declaration, subject to deduction of applicable Tax at Source as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and rules framed thereunder," RITES said.
RITES share price jumped sharply following the Q4 earnings announcement. PSU railway stock hit the day's high of ₹ 248.90, rising as much as 6.75% in intraday trade today. The stock finally settled at ₹ 243.40, up 4.40%.
In the last one year, however, RITES share price has declined 27%. On a five year basis, its returns stand at 110%.

95 suggestions received, CMP To Chart Nagpur's Transport Grid
Nagpur: The Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) prepared by MahaMetro in collaboration with RITES received 95 suggestions from citizens and stakeholders by the time window for the same closed on August 15. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Confirming the number, a senior MahaMetro official said on Monday that the process to segregate these suggestions as per various plans has already begun. "The department concerned has been instructed to complete the segregation process this week, after which the report will be shared with stakeholders for a detailed study before it is finalised," said the senior official. The CMP aims to chart a long-term roadmap for Nagpur's transport network with an emphasis on sustainable and integrated mobility. Officials said citizens' feedback will play a key role in fine-tuning the final plan, ensuring it reflects both public aspirations and technical feasibility. Officials said the process for the draft Detailed Project Report (DPR) of Nagpur Metro Phase 3 will begin as soon as the CMP is finalised. Phase 3 is likely to have city's first underground Metro on Sitabuldi-Koradi stretch. "After the CMP is finalised, we will initiate the tender process to appoint agency for preparing the Phase-3 DPR," an official said. MahaMetro officials also indicated that underground Metro line will be considered only if absolutely necessary, owing to substantially higher costs. "Under Phase 3, the initial 3 km starting from Kasturchand Park may require an underground alignment due to dense urban structures and existing flyovers in the path. Beyond this section, the line is expected to transition to at-grade and elevated segments," said the official. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The 11.5 km corridor is planned with stations roughly every 1 to 1.5 km or about 10 stations in total depending on land availability and population distribution. By 2031, the corridor is projected to handle 5,600 passengers per hour per direction (PHPDT), rising to 11,800 PHPDT by 2054. Daily ridership is projected to grow from 65,000 in 2031 to nearly 1.47 lakh by 2054. The demand for Wadi-Vasudeva Nagar Metro corridor will also come into consideration. Despite being one of the city's busiest transport routes, it was not included in Phase-1 and Phase-2. Citizens and transport experts have long demanded dedicated interventions here, citing the increased commuter load and lack of seamless connectivity. Once the CMP is finalised, it will serve as the guiding framework for mobility planning in Nagpur over the next three decades, while also shaping future Metro expansion plans.

Parliament Watch: Govt scraps CIBIL score rule, clears port and steel policy changes
The government has scrapped the CIBIL score requirement for PSU bank recruitment , set a 2030 deadline for the first phase of Maharashtra's Vadhvan Port, and eased input material rules for foreign steel makers. Ministers shared these updates in Parliament on Tuesday, outlining changes in banking, shipping, and steel sectors. Govt scraps CIBIL score rule for PSU bank recruitment The requirement of a minimum CIBIL score of 650 to apply for recruitment in public sector banks has been scrapped, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed. Candidates can now apply without a credit score condition, but they must maintain a healthy credit history at the time of joining. The minimum credit score will be determined as per the individual policies of participating banks, Chaudhary said. Vadhvan port's first phase to be ready by 2030, says Sonowal by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The role of AI in application modernization - Modernization without disruption CIO | Rocket Software Undo The first phase of the upcoming deep-sea port at Vadhvan in Maharashtra is expected to be completed by 2030, Union Ports, Shipping and Waterways Minister Sarbananda Sonowal told the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. Expansion of Major Ports is a continuous process involving modernization, mechanization, new berths, dredging, and enhanced connectivity, he said. Vadhvan will handle 23.2 million TEUs annually at an estimated cost of `76,220 crore. Sonowal added that the International Container Transshipment Port at Galathea Bay in Great Nicobar has been notified as a new Major Port. Planned as a transshipment hub, it will handle 16 million TEUs annually and be developed in four phases at a cost of Rs 43,796 crore. Govt eases input material norms for foreign steel makers Foreign manufacturers supplying steel to India have been exempted from the requirement that their input material also comply with Quality Control Orders (QCOs), provided their licences are verified by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and declarations submitted to the steel ministry, Minister of State for Steel Bhupathiraju Srinivasa Varma told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Last week, the government issued an order exempting 202 BIS licences listed on the Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) portal from the input-material compliance clause. The move aims to ensure uninterrupted steel supplies from foreign manufacturers. The exemption followed consultations with industry stakeholders to assess how QCOs could be implemented with minimal disruption, the minister said.

ITR filing: What is updated income tax return and ITR-U? Who can file & what you can't change - top points to know
ITR filing: Taxpayers who miss the regular deadline for filing their income tax return get an additional chance through the updated income tax return (ITR-U) facility, introduced under Section 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act. This option allows individuals to correct errors, add omitted income, or rectify misreporting even after the due dates for belated or revised returns have passed. Time limit for filing ITR-U An updated return can be filed within four years from the end of the relevant assessment year, according to an ET report. For example, if a taxpayer misses the original filing deadline of July 31 (extended to September 15 this year) and also the belated or revised return deadline of December 31, they can still file an updated return for the assessment year 2025-26 until March 31, 2030. Additional tax liability While ITR-U offers the flexibility to correct past mistakes, it comes with an added cost. Taxpayers filing an updated return are required to pay additional tax, with the quantum depending on how late the filing is within the four-year window. When you cannot file ITR-U Certain changes are not permitted through an updated return. Taxpayers cannot use ITR-U if they are: Claiming or increasing a refund amount Declaring reduced tax liability Reporting or carrying forward losses Facing an assessment, reassessment, or revision proceeding Subject to a survey under Section 133(A) or search under Section 132 In cases where accounts, assets, or documents have been seized under Section 132A If an updated return has already been filed once for the relevant year ITR-U thus provides a safeguard for taxpayers to correct past omissions but with clear restrictions and an additional tax cost.
