IRFC has sanctioned and signed a term loan agreement of ₹199.70 crore with Surat Integrated Transportation Development Corporation Limited (SITCO) to fund India's first international-standard Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) at Surat. SITCO is a joint venture between the Ministry of Railways and the Government of Gujarat. The Surat MMTH will integrate rail, metro, BRTS, city and regional buses, and intermediate transport modes like autos and taxis, while upgrading passenger amenities and station infrastructure. IRFC, recently accorded Navratna status, continues to expand beyond core railway financing into allied infrastructure sectors with forward and backward railway linkages. The company highlighted its zero-NPA track record as a key strength.
The loan amount is small relative to IRFC's overall book, so direct earnings impact is limited, but it signals continued diversification into multimodal logistics financing — a positive for long-term growth and supports the Navratna-era strategic expansion narrative.
