It is an offshoot of the implementation of National Rail Vikas Yojana (NRVY) announced from the ramparts of Red Fort by the then Prime Minister, Sh Atal Behari Vajpayee, during the Independence Day speech on 15th August 2002. NRVY was formally launched by the Hon’ble PM on 26th December 2002 to bridge rail infrastructure deficit. RVNL came into being on 24.1. 2003 as a 100% owned PSU of the Ministry of Railway. It became fully functional by March 2005.

The initial authorised capital of the SPV is Rs 500 crore with RVNL’s equity participation being Rs 10 crore only or 10% of the initial subscribed share capital.

The mandate of the SPV is to enhance rail connectivity to the various Ports in the country. This includes maintenance of Port Railways along with up-gradation, modernisation and capacity augmentation as and when required.

Rail connectivity to Rewas Port in Maharashtara:


Work undertaken by RVNL:

RVNL began as an organisation for executing various projects of railway engineering, to meet the shortfall of rail infrastructure that the existing system of that time could not fulfil. It was important to think out of the box and find a solution as eventually the price would be heavy with respect to the curtailment of opportunities and options available to a developing nation.

From beginning with railway capacity augmentation through track doubling, new railway lines, gauge conversion, railway electrification, RVNL has moved onto working on metro railways, multimodal transport system, port connectivity, turnkey projects i.e. workshops, training institutes, green buildings, high speed rail projects, cable stayed bridges, river and road bridges, vertical lift bridge, mountain Railways and tunnels.
