Order Win That Boosted Sentiment

Financed by the Asian Development Bank, the project will take place over a 36-month EPC phase, which will be followed by 5 years of operations and maintenance. As a large order, valued at USD 30–75 million, the new facility will be constructed adjacent to the Melamchi plant, which Wabag executed in 2017 and will treat the water to meet Nepal’s national drinking water quality standards from the Melamchi, Yangri, and Larke rivers.

Why the Stock Is Up Today

The stock was up as investors reacted positively to the company’s new repeat business from an international government client and a large ADB-funded project that improves long-term revenue visibility. The new contract contributes to Wabag’s competitive position in the water infrastructure sector in South Asia, improving confidence and sending the stock up in the early hours of trading.
