RailTel wins Rs 90 crore order from Institute of Road Transport

New Delhi, April 27 (IANS) RailTel Corporation of India Limited announced it has won a major order worth Rs 90.08 crore from the Institute of Road Transport.

The contract involves the design, development, supply, implementation, operations, and maintenance of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.

This system will be implemented for three transport corporations -- MTC Limited, Chennai, TNSTC-Coimbatore, and TNSTC-Madurai.
