Ircon shares surge nearly 14% on multiple orders & capex boost
S
hares of Ircon International Ltd soared nearly 14 percent on Wednesday following a flurry of new project wins and optimism around infrastructure-linked capital expenditure.
At 2:47 pm, Ircon's stock was trading at Rs 220.97, up Rs 27.03 or 13.94 percent for the day. The intraday high touched Rs 221.03, marking a strong recovery amid broader market volatility. The rally comes after the company secured contracts worth over Rs 898 crore in May across railway, power, and industrial infrastructure.
Among other railway-related stocks, RITES climbed 6.5 percent, Texmaco Rail & Engineering rose 8 percent, Titagarh Rail Systems gained 4 percent, while HBL Power Systems advanced more than 3 percent.
Among the major deals, Ircon won an Rs 187 crore project from Kerala State IT Infrastructure Ltd to build a rural industrial park in Thiruvananthapuram. It also bagged an Rs 458.14 crore civil works contract from North Eastern Electric Power Corporation for the Tato-I Hydro Electric Project in Arunachal Pradesh, according to an ET report.
In addition, the South Western Railway awarded Ircon an Rs 253.6 crore contract to implement the indigenous KAVACH train collision avoidance system across 778 route kilometres in Bengaluru and Mysuru divisions.

These wins, aligned with the government's infrastructure push, have improved investor sentiment despite recent earnings pressure.
While Ircon reported a 3.8 percent year-on-year decline in Q4FY24 net profit to Rs 246.8 crore, and a sharp 56.3 percent fall in EBITDA, the new contracts and expected capex upcycle appear to have overshadowed near-term financial softness. Analysts have assigned a cautious outlook with an average target price of Rs 158, suggesting downside from current levels. However, the stock's rise over the past three months, bolstered by today's surge, indicates growing market confidence in its project execution capabilities and future growth prospects.
