In terms of top line and bottom line, we have seen an increase in revenue and profit after tax (PAT) for the FY 2021-22. We have crossed the mark of  ₹920 crores PAT and we estimate to cross  ₹1200 crores. Our vision for the quarter was achieved and we expect to near the  ₹21,000 crores mark in the top line. Additionally, we have performed exceptionally well in terms of physical performance. We commissioned 1044 km of project length, which includes 925 km of doubling and 119 km of a new line, crossing the 1000 km commissioning barrier for the second time in our journey. RVNL is contributing to 30 per cent of commissioning in Indian Railways, which is higher by 25 per cent compared to last year.
