The Rs. 241 crore project will be undertaken under the Public Private Partnership model, with H.G. Infra having a 17.10 percent share and an execution period of 10 years.
Shares of H.G. Infra Engineering Limited are likely to remain in focus after the company was declared the L-1 bidder by the Department of Skill, Employment & Entrepreneurship, Government of Rajasthan, for the upgradation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) under the National Scheme for ITI Upgradation in the Bhiwadi cluster.
H.G. Infra Engineering Limited has a total market capitalization of approximately Rs. 3641 crore. The company’s shares were trading at Rs. 558.65 apiece on the stock exchange, down by 1.65 percent. The stock has gained 0.10 percent over the last five trading sessions, while it has declined 2.88 percent over the last month. The stock touched a 52-week high of Rs. 1124 and a 52-week low of Rs. 430.
According to the company’s exchange filing, H.G. Infra Engineering has been declared the L-1 bidder by the Department of Skill, Employment & Entrepreneurship, Government of Rajasthan, for the upgradation of ITIs in the Bhiwadi cluster. The domestic project will be implemented under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model and has an execution period of 10 years.
The estimated cost of the project stands at Rs. 241 crore, with H.G. Infra’s percentage share stated at 17.10 percent. Based on the estimated project cost, the company’s proportionate share works out to approximately Rs. 41.21 crore. However, the company has currently only been declared the L-1 bidder, and the formal award of the contract may remain subject to the completion of the required procedures and issuance of the final award.
The project marks further diversification for H.G. Infra beyond its traditional road and highway infrastructure business. While the company has established expertise in executing roads, bridges, flyovers and other infrastructure projects, its participation in an ITI upgradation project provides exposure to the country’s growing social and educational infrastructure segment.
The long-term nature of the project, with a tenure of 10 years under the PPP model, could provide H.G. Infra with extended project visibility while strengthening its credentials in executing infrastructure projects outside its core road segment. Successful execution could also help the company build experience in institutional and skill-development infrastructure, potentially opening opportunities for similar projects in the future.
India’s focus on upgrading Industrial Training Institutes is aimed at improving vocational education infrastructure and aligning workforce skills with evolving industry requirements. For infrastructure companies such as H.G. Infra, increased government spending on skill-development facilities and the use of PPP models can create opportunities beyond conventional transport infrastructure projects.
For investors, the development is significant as it reflects H.G. Infra’s efforts to diversify its project portfolio and leverage its execution capabilities across new infrastructure segments. While the company’s proportionate share of the estimated project cost is relatively modest compared with large highway projects, entry into the ITI upgradation segment could strengthen its execution credentials and broaden its addressable market over the long term.
H.G. Infra Engineering Limited is an Indian infrastructure company primarily engaged in providing Engineering, Procurement and Construction services. The company undertakes the construction and maintenance of roads, highways, bridges, flyovers and other infrastructure projects and has expanded its presence across multiple infrastructure segments.
