During the trading session on Monday in the Indian stock market, there was a tremendous rise in the shares of a smallcap infrastructure company. Due to huge interest from buyers, shares of Hyderabad-based oil and gas pipeline infrastructure company, Likhitha Infrastructure Ltd, hit the upper circuit of 5 percent. The main reason for this rise is a big international order worth about Rs 510 crore (54 million US dollars) received by the company from Abu Dhabi. This stock has registered an excellent recovery of about 105 percent from its one-year low.
Big project received from Abu Dhabi, will be completed in 21 months
In the official information given to the domestic stock exchanges (NSE and BSE), the company said that it has received this big contract from China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corporation (CPECC) Abu Dhabi. This international work order is related to the construction work of ‘Pipeline Package-1 (ASAB)’.
According to the terms of the project, this work will have to be completed within the next 21 months from the effective date of the Letter of Acceptance (LOA). Under strict corporate governance rules, the company has also clarified that this international deal does not involve any kind of related party transaction. Additionally, the promoter group of the company has no business interest or stake in the foreign firm placing the order.
Order book will be strong, benefit of entry into international market
This new order is not only big in terms of amount, but is also considered a strategic milestone for Likhita Infrastructure. Through this, the company is getting direct entry into the highly prestigious and large energy market of Abu Dhabi, which will help in winning other global tenders in future.
If we look at the current financial position of the company, its total order book by March 2026 was at a level of more than Rs 850 crore. Now, with the addition of this new foreign project, the company’s order book will get a big boost, which will strengthen its revenue visibility in the coming quarters.
