GPT Infraprojects Secures ₹53.6 Cr Railway Order, Boosts Book
GPT Infraprojects Ltd, a Kolkata-headquartered small-cap company established in 1980, specializes in civil engineering projects across the railway and road sectors. The company is a prominent manufacturer of concrete sleepers for both Indian and international railways, underscoring its significant role in rail infrastructure development.
The company's shares experienced a boost after securing a new domestic order valued at Rs 53.6 crore from South Eastern Railway. This contract involves the manufacture and supply of 1,42,400 concrete sleepers for the Ranchi and Kharagpur divisions, with an expected execution timeline of 24 months. The news propelled GPT Infraprojects' stock to an intraday high of Rs 104.95, a 1 percent increase from its previous close. This latest order has significantly augmented the company's outstanding order book, which now stands at Rs 3,844 crore. In FY26 alone, the company has already secured Rs 949 crore in total order inflows, with its order book composition as of Q2FY26 showing 13 percent from concrete sleepers and 87 percent from broader infrastructure projects.
GPT Infraprojects has a history of securing substantial contracts, both domestically and internationally. Notable previous wins include a Rs 195 crore order from Terminal Industrial Polyvalent de San Pedro for a conveyor belt system at the San Pedro port in Ivory Coast, and a Rs 351 crore contract from Agra Gwalior Highway Private Limited for the construction of a major cable-stayed bridge over the Chambal River.
Financially, the company reported a year-on-year (YoY) revenue decline of 3.1 percent in Q2FY26, dropping to Rs 279 crore from Rs 288 crore in Q2FY25.
