Power Mech Projects Shares Surge on ₹1,009 Crore JSW Thermal Order
Power Mech Projects witnessed a significant rally in its stock price following the announcement of a massive contract win from JSW Thermal Energy Limited. The new order strengthens the company's order book and reinforces its growing dominance in India's power infrastructure and EPC sectors.
Major Contract Win in West Bengal
Power Mech Projects has secured a substantial domestic contract valued at ₹1,008.90 crore, inclusive of GST, from JSW Thermal Energy Limited. This contract is specifically for executing civil and structural works within the Boiler, Turbine, and Generator (BTG) area of a major thermal power project.
The project is located at Salboni, West Bengal, and is designed to support a 2x800 MW thermal power capacity. The company has committed to a project timeline of 36 months from the date of commencement. Crucially, the company clarified that this deal is not a related-party transaction, as neither the promoters nor any promoter group entities hold any interest in JSW Thermal Energy Limited.
Market Reaction and Revenue Visibility
Investors responded enthusiastically to the news, driving the stock up by 3.59% to reach ₹2,941.80 during Monday's trading session. This sizable order is expected to provide the company with robust revenue visibility over the next three years, providing a steady cushion for its top-line growth.
The company's ability to land large-scale EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) projects like this one underscores its competitive edge in the Indian energy market. As India continues to invest heavily in power infrastructure, such wins are critical for maintaining long-term growth trajectories.
