Railway stocks like RailTel, BEML, and RITES gained traction in 2025, supported by fresh government orders, strong order books, and FY26 capex expectations. Economic growth and infrastructure momentum further boosted investor confidence in these PSU railway companies.
Railway stocks witnessed a surge in investor interest in the first week of June, driven by fresh government orders and expectations of increased capital expenditure in FY26.
Railway companies like BEML, Container Corporation of India, IRCON International, IRFC, IRCTC, RVNL, RailTel Corporation of India, RITES, Texmaco Rail & Engineering and Titagarh Rail Systems Limited have been in strong action since last week, reflecting optimism around government-led infrastructure growth.
