What lifted Patel Engineering's share price today?
Patel Engineering shares gained on Thursday after the company announced it has secured two Letters of Intent (LoIs) from Saidax Engineers and Infrastructures Pvt Ltd.
The contracts involve excavation, overburden removal, coal cutting, loading, and transportation works at the Jhiria West OCP project in the Hasdeo Area, Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, for South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL).
The combined value of the LoIs stands at ₹798.19 crore (excluding taxes).
The scope of work includes composite overburden removal and rehandling, coal cutting using surface miners, loading and transportation of coal, and deployment and maintenance of all necessary plant, equipment, diesel, manpower, and labour.
Kavita Shirvaikar, managing director of Patel Engineering, said, "These new projects represent a natural extension of the large-scale infrastructure works we undertake and also open up new avenues. Importantly, these works come in addition to a robust tender pipeline of more than ₹34,000 crores already bid and under evaluation, as well as further opportunities worth ₹18,000 crores expected to come up for bidding before the end of this financial year.”
“Looking ahead, nearly ₹1 trillion of projects are anticipated to come up for bidding over the next one to two years in the core areas that we operate. With these opportunities, we are confident that our order book will grow substantially in the coming year and beyond,” Shirvaikar added.
