NBCC (India) Ltd., a public sector construction company, announced yesterday that it has secured two new contracts collectively valued at approximately Rs.720 crore, marking a huge milestone in the company’s portfolio, further strengthening its position in the construction industry.
The first contract, valued at Rs.9.97 crore, has been awarded by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). The project involves the demolition of an existing building and the construction of a new facility at Anand Nagar Colony, Khairatabad, Hyderabad.
The second contract, significantly larger compared to the first one, is valued at around Rs.710 crore. The order has been issued by the Jhansi Development Authority. This project focuses on the sustainable development of two land parcels in Jhansi, an initiative that aligns with the authority’s long-term urban planning goals and targets for the city.
Just days prior, on Friday, August 9, NBCC announced a major order worth Rs.15,000 crore from the Srinagar Development Authority. This project, which is nearly half of NBCC’s market capitalization of Rs.33,000 crore, involves the development of a satellite township over 406 acres at Rakh-e-Gund Akshah in Bemina, Srinagar, representing one of the largest projects undertaken by NBCC in recent years.
In addition to these contracts, NBCC has been actively securing projects across various sectors. In June, the company backed a Rs.70 crore order from Grid Controller of India Ltd. for interior work at GRID-INDIA in New Delhi. Moreover, NBCC had previously secured orders totaling Rs.491.45 crore from several clients, including the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) and the Odisha State Cooperative Bank as per the reports.
Conclusion: In conclusion, these contracts bring out NBCC’s strong project pipeline and its growing role in India’s infrastructure development. Despite a slight dip in share prices, with NBCC trading around lower at Rs.181.56 today, the company’s shares have grown around 122% year-to-date and 9% in the past five days, demonstrating confidence and focus on large-scale, impactful projects.
