KEC International Shares Rise Nearly 2% After Securing ₹1,174 Crore Orders

Mumbai, October 14, 2025: The stock price of KEC International Ltd (NSE: KEC) surged nearly 2% in early trading on Tuesday, after the company announced new Transmission & Distribution (T&D) contracts totaling ₹1,174 crore in India and the Middle East.

The stock of the company was selling at ₹858.15 at 10:50, and it had risen by ₹8.80 or 1.03 percent compared to its previous close. The opening price of the stock was ₹892, with an intraday high of ₹893 and an intraday low of ₹864.25 so far. Despite the recent surge, KEC shares are still down 27% year-to-year, which can be attributed to broader volatility in mid-cap infrastructure shares.

Recent Market Performance

In the past six months, KEC International’s stock has increased by more than 32%, recovering from previous declines. In the past year, shares have been down about 13%, but the longer-term outlook remains healthy with 109% returns in three years and 166% in five years. This demonstrates investor faith in the continuous execution of projects and a diversified order book.

Details of the Latest Orders

The new orders consist of ±800 kV HVDC and 765 kV transmission line projects from a prominent private developer in India, along with 380 kV transmission line projects in Saudi Arabia. With these orders, KEC’s year-to-date order now stands at ₹14,000 crore, further strengthening its leadership in the domestic and Middle Eastern T&D markets.

Leadership’s Take

Vimal Kejriwal, the Managing Director & CEO, indicated that the robust order inflows demonstrate KEC’s increasing engagement with private developers and its leadership position in the Middle East T&D space, adding that these wins will be a key contributor to the company’s growth momentum.

Outlook

KEC International is poised for steady growth with a strong order book and expanding footprint in key infrastructure segments. Continued traction in domestic and international orders is expected to accelerate financial performance over the coming quarters.
