Ashoka Buildcon bags Rs 5.7B rail contract in Maharashtra

Ashoka Buildcon has secured a Rs 5.7 billion EPC contract from Central Railway for gauge conversion between Pachora and Jamner in Maharashtra. The project spans 53.3 km and includes earthworks, major and minor bridges, road under-bridges, permanent way work, and civil infrastructure—excluding the Pachora yard and any road over-bridges.

Shares of Ashoka Buildcon closed at Rs 198 on the BSE, up 0.56 per cent.
