Ircon International, a leading PSU in railway infrastructure, has bagged fresh project orders worth a total of ₹179.41 crore from North Western Railway, strengthening its presence in India’s massive rail transformation drive. These orders include a ₹51.61 crore contract for a Remote Diagnostic & Predictive Maintenance System and a ₹127.80 crore project for installing a microprocessor-based Electronic Interlocking (EI) system across 20 stations in the Ajmer Division.
This could be a potential trigger for Ircon shares as the company continues to benefit from rising capex in Indian Railways.
Big Orders, Bigger Opportunities: ₹179.41 Cr in the Bag
Ircon received two major contracts from different arms of North Western Railway. The first, worth ₹51.61 crore, focuses on deploying remote diagnostic and predictive maintenance systems across multiple divisions like Jaipur, Ajmer, Bikaner, and Jodhpur. This order aligns with Indian Railways’ push towards smart automation and real-time tracking of rail assets.
The second, larger order is worth ₹127.80 crore from the S&T (Construction) division of the North Western Railway. This involves design, manufacture, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of an advanced EI system, complete with automatic block signalling and telecom systems. The execution timeline is 24 months, suggesting a steady revenue stream for Ircon.
Share Price Movement and Upcoming Board Meeting
Following the announcement of these significant orders, Ircon’s stock surged by up to 8.1% on May 16, 2025, reaching ₹191.9 on the BSE. This rally reflects investor optimism about the company’s expanding project portfolio and its implications for future earnings.
Looking ahead, Ircon has scheduled a Board Meeting on May 21, 2025, to consider and approve the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2025, and to recommend a final dividend for the financial year 2024-25. This meeting could serve as another catalyst for the stock, depending on the outcomes of the financial results and the dividend announcement.
