Shares of Ashoka Buildcon Limited are likely to remain in focus after the company announced that it has received a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation Limited (CSIDC) for the development of a Gems & Jewellery Park in Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
Ashoka Buildcon Limited has a total market capitalization of approximately Rs. 3,799.87 crore. The company’s shares were trading at Rs. 135.30 apiece on the stock exchange, up by 9.95 percent during the session. The stock has surged around 13.37 percent over the last five trading sessions. The stock has surged around 5.63 percent over the last month, reflecting positive momentum. The stock touched a 52-week high of Rs. 218.44 and a 52-week low of Rs. 101.
Ashoka Buildcon Limited has informed the exchanges that it had submitted the bid through a joint venture in which the company is the lead partner with a 51 percent stake. The project will be developed under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model and covers a land area of approximately 38,922 square metres.
According to the company’s filing, the accepted premium for the project stands at Rs. 112.40 crore. In addition, the developer will be required to pay an annual lease rent equivalent to 2 percent of the premium amount, with an escalation of 10 percent every fourth year.
The project is strategically significant as it provides Ashoka Buildcon exposure to industrial and commercial infrastructure development beyond its traditional roads and EPC businesses. The Gems & Jewellery Park is expected to support the development of a dedicated ecosystem for the gems and jewellery industry in Chhattisgarh, potentially attracting manufacturers, exporters, traders, and ancillary businesses.
As per the terms of the award, the project carries a construction period of five years. The lease period is 30 years, with provisions for extension up to 90 years, providing long-term revenue and asset creation opportunities.
The award also highlights the increasing use of PPP models by state governments to develop industrial infrastructure while leveraging private-sector expertise and investment capabilities. Such projects often create opportunities for developers to generate recurring income streams alongside construction revenues.
For Ashoka Buildcon, the project adds another marquee development to its portfolio and strengthens its presence in infrastructure-led economic development initiatives. The company has built a strong track record in executing large-scale transportation and infrastructure projects across India and continues to diversify into newer infrastructure segments.
India’s industrial infrastructure sector continues to attract significant investment as state governments focus on creating specialized industrial parks, logistics hubs, manufacturing clusters, and export-oriented facilities. Dedicated gems and jewellery parks are expected to play an important role in supporting exports, employment generation, and value-added manufacturing activities.
Incorporated in 1993, Ashoka Buildcon Limited is engaged in the construction and development of infrastructure facilities on EPC and BOT basis. The company has a diversified presence across highways, bridges, power transmission, railways, buildings, city gas distribution, and other infrastructure segments. It is also involved in the sale of ready-mix concrete and switchgear products.
The receipt of the LOA for the Rs. 112.4 crore Gems & Jewellery Park project could strengthen Ashoka Buildcon’s long-term project pipeline while enhancing its exposure to industrial infrastructure development opportunities.
