Bajel Projects Secures Ultra Mega Order From PGCIL

13 Feb 2026 CW Team

Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited rose two point nine four per cent while Dabur India Limited gained zero point three four per cent, reflecting selective buying across media and consumer names. Somi Conveyor Beltings Limited led gainers in the 'B' group and Ashiana Housing recorded momentum on strong booking conversions at its Gurugram project. Tata Steel also advanced after its quarter three profit after tax (PAT) soared over seven-fold to Rs 26.88 bn, underscoring earnings surprises driving sector rotation.

Analysts said the PGCIL contract is likely to enhance Bajel Projects order inflows and improve visibility on execution in the near term, supporting margin and cash flow projections. The nature of transmission and infrastructure contracts typically involves phased execution and milestone-based billing, which can moderate immediate earnings volatility while adding predictable work streams. Market reaction in the short term often reflects a reassessment of backlog and near-term revenue prospects.

Broader market sentiment remained cautious as investors awaited further corporate updates and macro indicators, but stock-specific developments continued to influence individual counters. Traders indicated that confirmation of project awards and clarity on timelines would be key to sustaining the rally in the coming sessions. Market watchers remained attentive to regulatory approvals and implementation schedules that could affect delivery and revenue recognition for engineering firms. Analysts said attention would shift to execution timelines and margin trends over the next quarters.
