KEC International Surges 8% What’s Driving This Major Move in Indian Infrastructure Stocks?
KEC International Ltd. shares jumped nearly 8% on September 23, 2025, after announcing international orders worth ₹3,243 crore. The surge is driven by its largest-ever EPC contract, strong Q1 FY26 financials, and expansion into key global markets.
Major International Wins
KEC International secured high-value contracts in the UAE and the Americas, including 400 kV transmission lines and the supply of towers, hardware, and poles. One of these contracts represents the company’s largest-ever EPC order, highlighting KEC’s growing capabilities in executing large-scale international projects. This milestone reinforces KEC’s position as a key player in global transmission and distribution markets.
Strong Financial Performance
The stock rally follows robust Q1 FY26 results. Net profit rose 42.3% YoY to ₹125 crore, while consolidated revenue increased 11.3% to ₹5,023 crore. EBITDA grew 29.5% YoY to ₹350 crore, and margins expanded from 6% to 7%, reflecting improved project execution and cost efficiency. These numbers demonstrate that KEC is successfully converting high-value orders into profitable operations.
Investor Takeaways
The combination of international order wins, record EPC contracts, and strong quarterly performance has fueled investor confidence. With a solid global footprint and a healthy order book, KEC is positioned to maintain momentum, making it a stock to watch in the Indian infrastructure sector.
