As a mass rapid transit system (MRTS), Indore Metro, which is currently undergoing construction to serve Indore in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, will span roughly 31.55km.

In March, the Indian Government announced plans to sell a 15% stake in RVNL to raise nearly $103m (Rs7.5bn).

The issue was opened for both non-retail investors and retail investors.

RVNL was established as a fully owned public sector undertaking (PSU) of the Indian Ministry of Railways in January 2003.

It was incorporated for raising extra-budgetary resources.

RVNL has also executed several projects on a fast-track basis in connection with the formation and capacity expansion of rail infrastructure.

As of 30 June 2021, the government owns a 78.2% stake in RVNL.
