Multibagger Stock: Shares of Jyoti Structures jumped 10% in early morning trade today, January 24, to ₹25 apiece, after the company secured a significant order.
On Thursday, the company informed investors through an exchange filing that it received a Notification of Award from PowerGrid Corporation of India Limited, a Government of India Enterprise.
The order is for the designing, detailing, testing, and supply of towers and all line materials, including conductors, as well as survey, soil investigation, foundations, erection, stringing, testing, and commissioning of Package 01 of the ±800 kV HVDC Bipole Line (Hexa Lapwing) between KPS2 (HVDC) and Nagpur (HVDC) (with Dedicated Metallic Return) on a total turnkey basis. The project is valued at ₹741.28 crore, as per the company's regulatory filing.
This is the largest order secured by the company in recent years. Jyoti Structures operates in the electricity transmission, distribution, and substation sectors, specialising in delivering turnkey projects that include the design, testing, manufacturing, erection, and commissioning of transmission lines, substations, and power distribution projects, both domestically and internationally.
