Shares of RailTel on Friday ended lower by 1 per cent at Rs 125.75 on the BSE.

In a regulatory filing to the bourses, the company said the content-on-demand contract awarded to Margo Networks on January 14, 2020, to provide the service in all mail, express and suburban trains and all Wi-Fi enabled railway stations on a build-own-operate basis for 10 years has been terminated with effect from November 11, 2021 due to non-performance by the contractor.

The company had said that the project will be implemented in two years and the content will be made available both in paid and unpaid formats.
