This development triggered a positive move in the stock price during Wednesday’s trading session.

New Project Allotment Update
The company received two separate work orders with a combined value of Rs.168 crore. The larger contract, valued at Rs.128 crore, was awarded by the National Highways Authority of India for landslide remedial measures on the Pandoh to Kullu section of NH-03 in Himachal Pradesh. This project is structured under the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) mode and requires completion within 12 months. Such remedial projects often carry higher technical complexity compared to standard road works, potentially offering better margin profiles.
The second contract, worth Rs.40 crore, involves the construction of road configurations, minor bridges, and culverts in forest stretches on the Nandgaon Peth-Morshi Warud road in Maharashtra. Awarded by the PWD Maharashtra, this project has an execution timeline of 18 months.
