By THE NEWSMAN OF INDIA.COM| The newly joined Chairman and Managing Director of Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), Saleem Ahmad, has outlined a clear and forward-looking strategic roadmap aimed at strengthening the organisation’s role in India’s rapidly expanding infrastructure landscape. His vision places strong emphasis on sustainable growth, operational efficiency and excellence in project execution.

At the core of the roadmap is a commitment to achieve sustainable and accelerated growth while ensuring long-term financial stability. Ahmad underlined the importance of improving operating and financial margins through prudent financial management, cost optimisation and sharper project planning. This approach, he said, will enable RVNL to scale up operations without compromising on quality or financial discipline.

A major focus area highlighted by the CMD is excellence in execution of both ongoing and upcoming projects. He stressed that timely delivery, adherence to quality benchmarks and efficient resource utilisation will remain central to RVNL’s functioning. Strengthening internal systems, adopting best practices in project management and leveraging technology are key components of this execution-driven strategy.

Ahmad also emphasised the need to further enhance RVNL’s project delivery capabilities. By building stronger teams, streamlining processes and fostering a culture of accountability, the organisation aims to improve outcomes across diverse infrastructure projects. This, in turn, is expected to enhance stakeholder confidence and value, including that of the government, investors, partners and beneficiaries.

Reaffirming RVNL’s pivotal role in national development, the CMD highlighted the organisation’s contribution to India’s infrastructure expansion, particularly in the railway and transport sectors. He noted that RVNL’s projects are not only critical for improving connectivity and logistics efficiency but also for supporting broader economic growth.

With this focused and pragmatic roadmap, Saleem Ahmad has set the tone for a results-oriented leadership at RVNL, aligning operational excellence with financial strength and national infrastructure priorities.
