Afcons Infrastructure gets termination notice
Afcons Infrastructure said it has received a termination notice from Societe Autoroutiere du Gabon (SAG) in relation to an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for National Road NR1 in Gabon.
The contract, valued at approximately Euro 113.03 million, involves the design, construction, rehabilitation and upgradation of a 117-km stretch from PK 24+000 to PK 105+000. The company had earlier informed the exchanges on January 31, 2026, of the client's bond invocation.
Afcons said around 93.47 per cent of the project had been completed as of December 31, 2025, and the road has been open to traffic for nearly two years. Certain remaining portions are pending due to delays in land handover.
The company believes the termination is inconsistent with contractual terms and applicable law, and said it is pursuing appropriate contractual and legal remedies. Afcons added that the dispute is project-specific and does not impact its overall order book, operational capability or business outlook.
