Afcons Infrastructure’s shares rose 4.04% to Rs 543.75 after securing a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from the Madhya Pradesh Metro Rail Company for a Rs 10.06 billion contract under the Bhopal Metro Rail Project. The awarded contract, known as Package BH-05, involves the design and construction of an elevated viaduct and 13 elevated metro stations. These stations will link Bhadbhada Chauraha to Ratnagiri Tiraha on the Blue Line, excluding an elevated passenger interchange station. The project also includes access to the depot along specified chainages. The project is scheduled for completion within 36 months.

The company recently reported a 30% jump in consolidated net profit to Rs 1.35 billion in Q2 FY25, despite an 11.22% decline in revenue from operations, which stood at Rs 2,959.89 crore, compared to Q2 FY24.
