NBCC made headlines on Friday, announcing two significant orders totaling ₹229.75 crore. Despite the positive news, the company’s shares failed to hold onto gains, reflecting muted investor enthusiasm. The larger order, worth ₹148.40 crore, came from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and involves ambitious projects at AIIMS Bilaspur. These include constructing hostels, lecture halls, and a solar power system. The second order, valued at ₹81.35 crore, was awarded by IIM Visakhapatnam for consultancy services related to building a new hostel, dining facilities, and infrastructure at the institute’s permanent campus. This follows NBCC’s recent MoU with Sarkari Awas Nirman Avam Vitt Nigam Ltd for a mixed-use development project in Lucknow, covering a sprawling 588 acres. These developments highlight NBCC’s continued role as a go-to consultant for large-scale government projects. Despite these milestones, NBCC shares saw a dip, trading 0.90% lower at ₹91.30 by 2:30 PM. The stock briefly recovered from its intraday low of ₹90.68, touching ₹93.55 before profit booking set in. Over the past year, NBCC’s stock has gained nearly 40%, peaking at a 52-week high of ₹139.90 in August. However, it remains far from its highs, reflecting investor caution despite the company’s steady project wins.
