DIIs raise stakes in three Indian railway-related stocks in June quarter

In IRFC, DIIs increased their holding to 4.0% in the June 2026 quarter from 2.9% in March 2026, while IRCTC posted record FY26 revenues and net profit above ₹7,000 crore for the first time.

LiveMint Markets reports that some domestic institutional investors, or DIIs, increased their stakes in multiple railway-related companies during the June 2026 quarter. The move comes alongside a longer-term push to expand India’s rail capacity and modernize infrastructure, including track expansion, electrification, station redevelopment, dedicated freight corridors, and newer train services such as Vande Bharat.

According to the report, IRFC, the government-owned financing arm of Indian Railways, saw DIIs lift their stake to 4.0% in June 2026 from 2.9% in the March 2026 quarter. The outlet also points to company performance, saying IRFC’s net assets under management rose to ₹4.85 trillion by year-end in FY26, and the firm has set double-digit growth targets for FY27 and beyond across metrics such as revenue, profit, net worth, net interest margin, and EPS.

The article adds that DIIs similarly raised their stake in IRCTC, taking it from 12.5% in March 2026 to 15.4% in June 2026. It also cites record FY26 results for IRCTC, with revenues highlighted as reaching new highs and net profit crossing the ₹7,000-crore mark for the first time.

Details on the third railway stock were not included in the provided text beyond the start of the section on Titagarh Rail Systems.
