On October 10, Ashoka Buildcon shares experienced a notable increase of over 5%, driven by the announcement that its joint venture, where it serves as the lead member, was awarded a lucrative ₹1,668 crore project by the City & Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra (CIDCO). This project is expected to bolster Ashoka Buildcon's already strong position in the construction industry and enhance its market value significantly.

At 12:13 PM, Ashoka Buildcon shares were trading at ₹250 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Over the year, the stock has surged by an impressive 80%, showcasing the company’s robust performance amid a competitive market landscape. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) project awarded by CIDCO encompasses the integrated development of wide roads, the construction of major and minor structures, and associated electrical works as part of the NAINA project.

In addition to the recent CIDCO project win, earlier this month, Ashoka Buildcon secured another project valued at ₹474.10 crore from MMRDA. This project involves the design and construction of an elevated road that links Kalyan Murbad Road to Badlapur Road and extends to Pune Link Road. Moreover, the company bagged two more letters of award for contracts totaling ₹1,264 crore, which include significant infrastructural developments like the design and construction of a creek bridge from Kolshet to Kalher and another from Gaimukh to Payegaon.

Further emphasizing its strategic growth initiatives, last month, Ashoka Buildcon's subsidiary, Viva Highways, successfully monetized land from its real estate portfolio in Hinjewadi, Pune, for ₹453 crore. This sale highlights the company’s diversified approach and ability to capitalize on its assets for funding future projects.

Brokerages are optimistic about a rebound in Ashoka Buildcon's order book growth in Q2 after a decline due to halted government tenders amid the recent General Elections. With the resumption of awarding capital expenditure projects, Elara Capital anticipates continued order momentum with higher project flows expected in the second half of FY25. The strong order pipeline and strategic project acquisitions indicate a promising outlook for the company's future growth trajectory.

As investors look to capitalize on opportunities in the infrastructure sector, Ashoka Buildcon stands out as a compelling choice, underpinned by its solid project wins and strong stock performance.
