K2 Infragen Ltd Hits Upper Circuit After Securing ₹142 Crore Highway Project in Gujarat
Stock Price Surges on New Contract Win
The shares of K2 Infragen Ltd, a microcap infrastructure developer, surged by 2% to hit the upper circuit on Monday after the company announced that it had secured a ₹142.14 crore highway project from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This project involves strengthening and maintenance work on the Jetpur-Somnath section (excluding Junagadh Bypass) in Gujarat under a Performance-Based Maintenance Contract (PMBC).
With this development, K2 Infragen Ltd continues to solidify its position as one of India’s fastest-growing infrastructure and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) companies.
Stock Market Performance
Following the announcement, K2 Infragen Ltd’s stock price closed at ₹137.75 per share, up from its previous close of ₹135, reflecting a 2% increase. The company’s market capitalization currently stands at ₹173.82 crore, making it a strong performer in the microcap segment.
Project Details and Execution Plan
The ₹142 crore contract was awarded by NHAI to SRM Contractors Ltd., which will execute the project through K2 Infragen Ltd. The contract involves strengthening and maintaining the Jetpur-Somnath highway section in Gujarat.
With the inclusion of this latest contract, K2 Infragen Ltd’s total order book under execution has now reached ₹550 crore, marking significant growth for the company.
Project Timeline and Expected Completion
- The highway project is scheduled for completion by September 2026.
- However, most of the construction work is expected to be completed within the year, which demonstrates the company’s efficiency in executing infrastructure projects.
Management Commentary: Expansion Plans and Future Outlook
Mr. Pankaj Sharma, Managing Director of K2 Infragen Ltd, expressed confidence in the company’s growth trajectory, stating:
“We are proud to secure our largest single order in the Roads & Transport infrastructure sector. This contract strengthens our commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure solutions. We continue to win major NHAI contracts and are actively expanding into the Transmission & Distribution (T&D) and Railways sectors. Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in the solar EPC segment and are in discussions with financial institutions to enhance our credit limits.”
This statement highlights the company’s strategic expansion plans and its ambitions to diversify beyond roads and highways.
Previous Order Wins in 2025
Earlier this year, K2 Infragen Ltd secured an order worth ₹48.34 crore for the strengthening of an existing two-lane road in Uttar Pradesh under the EPC mode. This contract was also awarded by NHAI, reinforcing the company’s growing presence in the infrastructure sector.
Financial Performance: A Mixed Bag
Despite securing new projects, K2 Infragen Ltd reported a decline in revenue and profit in the first half of FY25.
| Financial Metrics | H1 FY24 | H1 FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations | ₹59 crore | ₹51 crore | ↓ 13% |
| Net Profit | ₹6 crore | ₹4.3 crore | ↓ 28% |
The drop in revenue and profit may be attributed to project execution timelines, increasing input costs, and working capital constraints. However, the company’s growing order book suggests a potential turnaround in the upcoming quarters.
