In a significant move, the Government of India on Monday upgraded the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) to the prestigious status of Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE).
With this, IRCTC and IRFC have become the 25th and 26th Navratna among the CPSEs, respectively, marking a major milestone for the Indian Railway companies.
The elevation to Navratna status grants the two companies greater financial autonomy, allowing it to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore without seeking government approval, thereby fast-tracking their decision-making abilities.
