HCC Share Price Jumps Nearly 4% on Fresh Railway Project Win

Hindustan Construction Company Ltd (HCC) attracted investor attention on Monday as its share price moved sharply higher during morning trade.

HCC Share Price Movement

HCC share price was trading at ₹19.26 at 10:16 AM IST on December 22, 2025, up ₹0.72 or 3.88% from the previous close of ₹18.54. The stock opened higher at ₹18.90 and touched an intraday high of ₹19.32, while the day’s low stood at ₹18.80. 

Despite the recent rise, the stock remains well below its 52-week high of ₹37.82 recorded on December 20, 2024. However, it has rebounded from its 52-week low of ₹16.92 hit on December 16, 2025.

Trigger Behind the Rally

The upward movement in HCC’s share price followed the company’s announcement on December 19, 2025, that it had secured a major infrastructure contract worth approximately ₹901 crore from the Northeast Frontier Railway. The project has been awarded to the HCC-VCCL Joint Venture, in which HCC holds a 65% stake, strengthening its order book and revenue visibility.

Project Details

The contract involves the construction of New Tunnel-28 on the Tupul–Imphal new Broad Gauge railway line. The scope includes building a 3.5-kilometre main tunnel along with end-to-end design, engineering, and commissioning services. It also covers ballast-less track design and proof-checking, supply and installation of railway systems, tunnel ventilation, electro-mechanical works, and construction of approach roads and ancillary infrastructure.

Market Outlook

The project forms part of India’s broader railway expansion and modernisation drive, which continues to generate opportunities for infrastructure companies. For HCC, the order reinforces its expertise in complex tunnelling and transportation projects, which appears to have boosted investor confidence in the near term.

Conclusion

HCC’s nearly 4% jump in share price reflects positive market reaction to the ₹901 crore railway contract win. While the stock remains far from its yearly highs, the new order and recent rebound from lows suggest improving sentiment, with investors closely tracking execution progress and further order inflows.
