IRFC Continues Strong Performance with Fifth Straight ‘Excellent’ DPE Rating

New Delhi: Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC), a Navratna public sector enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, has once again been rated “Excellent” by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) for the financial year 2024–25, marking its fifth consecutive top rating since listing in FY21.

The consistent recognition highlights IRFC’s strong governance, disciplined financial management and steady performance despite evolving market challenges. During the year, the company continued to strengthen and diversify its lending portfolio while staying aligned with its core mandate of financing railway and allied infrastructure projects.

IRFC has also enhanced efficiency in railway-linked funding and extended timely, cost-effective financial support across sectors such as power, mining, logistics, metro rail and ports.

Commenting on the achievement, IRFC’s Chairman and Managing Director said the fifth consecutive “Excellent” rating reflects the organisation’s strategic clarity and execution strength. He added that under IRFC 2.0, the company has already achieved its annual sanction target of ₹60,000 crore for FY26 by the end of Q3, indicating strong growth momentum.

Founded in 1986, IRFC remains a key pillar in supporting India’s railway modernisation and national infrastructure development.
