KNR Constructions, a leading infrastructure development company, has announced the receipt of a major project order worth ₹4,800.57 crore, triggering a nearly 9% surge in its stock price. The share closed at ₹230 following the development, marking a continued uptrend for the second consecutive trading session.
Major Order from NTPC Subsidiary
In a regulatory filing with the stock exchanges, KNR Constructions revealed that it has received the ₹4,800.57 crore order from Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (PVUNL), a subsidiary of NTPC. The order pertains to the development of the Banhardih Coal Mining Block in Jharkhand.
The project has been awarded to a joint venture between KNR Constructions Ltd (KNRCL) and Harsha Constructions Pvt Ltd (HCPL), with KNR holding a 74% stake and HCPL holding 26%. The order is considered a significant boost, given that KNR Constructions’ total order book as of March 31, 2025, stood at ₹5,051 crore—making this single order nearly equivalent in size.
Positive Market Reaction
Investors responded enthusiastically to the announcement, pushing the share price up by close to 9%. With a market capitalization of around ₹6,490 crore, this new order represents a substantial addition to the company’s project pipeline.
Market analysts have flagged the stock for watch in the upcoming trading sessions, particularly on Thursday, as momentum continues to build.
