With this status, RVNL will have greater operational and financial autonomy, enabling it to make strategic decisions without prior government approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The status of Navratna is granted to public sector enterprises that fulfill certain criteria, including a net worth of at least Rs. 10,000 crore, a turnover of at least Rs. 5,000 crore, and a net profit for the last three years. Navratna&#8217;s status gives the company more flexibility in decision-making, which helps in improving efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">RVNL was incorporated in 2003 as a project execution agency for the Indian Railways. It is responsible for the construction of new railway lines, gauge conversion, railway electrification, and modernization of stations.
