HBL Engineering Limited, formerly known as HBL Power Systems Limited, has received an order worth ₹410.42 crore (inclusive of 18% GST) from the Ahmedabad Division of Western Railway. The order has been issued to the HBL-Shivakriti Consortium, where HBL Engineering is the lead member.

Scope of Work

The contract involves the supply and installation of way-side Kavach across two railway sections:

  • Ahmedabad-Palanpur section
  • Ahmedabad-Samakhiyali section

The total coverage spans 402 km. The project is expected to be completed within 730 days from the issuance of the purchase order.

Kavach Implementation

Kavach is an automatic train protection (ATP) system designed to reduce the risk of train collisions. It works by controlling train speeds and braking when necessary. The Indian Railways has been deploying Kavach across multiple routes to improve safety.

Financial Considerations

The project is classified as a domestic contract. 

HBL Engineering Ltd shares are trading at ₹608.80, up ₹44.70 (7.92%) as of today, February 1, 11:41 AM. While the stock has declined 3.98% over the past month, it has gained 17.83% in the last five days.

Execution Timeline

HBL Engineering and its consortium partner, Shivakriti International, are responsible for implementing the system within the stipulated two-year period. The installation will be carried out in phases across the designated railway sections.

Regulatory Disclosure

This order was disclosed as per Regulation 30 of SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Additional details were provided in compliance with SEBI’s Master Circular No. SEBI/HO/CFD/PoD2/P/0155 dated November 11, 2024, and subsequent updates from December 2024.
