Quarter read

What the record says.

IRCTC delivered a record quarter with revenue of ₹1,449 crore (+18.2% YoY) and PAT of ₹394 crore (+15.5% YoY), driven by strong performance across all segments. Internet ticketing remained the profit engine with 85% EBITDA margin, while catering revenue surged 19.1% YoY, aided by 40 new train contracts including 19 Vande Bharat sets. Tourism revenue grew 29% YoY to ₹289 crore, led by Maharaja Express (+39%) and Bharat Gaurav trains (+51%). Rail Neer added 25-30% capacity via new plants. Management guided for 15% sustainable growth and highlighted 260 Vande Bharat trains in pipeline. Key risk: labor code implementation could add cost pressure, though management expects to offset via volume growth.

Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.

Guidance to track

  • Management targets 15% overall growth for the full year, driven by all segments.
  • Railway ministry plans to introduce 260 Vande Bharat train sets, which will boost catering revenue.
  • Four new plants sanctioned at Mysuru, Prayagraj, Bhagalpur, and Ranchi; existing plants doubling capacity.

Risks flagged

  • New labor codes may increase costs due to reduced gratuity period and health checkup requirements; management is still assessing impact.
  • Higher share of Vande Bharat trains (prepaid, lower license fee) and 5% GST impact margins; EBITDA margin moderated to 32.1%.
  • Tourism segment faced temporary geopolitical disruptions, though still delivered 29% revenue growth.

Key quotes

  • Our convenience revenue is 251 cr and non-convenience revenue is 150 cr during this quarter.
  • We are targeting to achieve 15% sustainable growth this year.
  • Even if we are able to capture some of the value added services to our customer, this is a very good business proposition for us.
