The full read
₹2,957 crore lands on Kalpataru's order book.
That is 10.9% of FY26 revenue and 12.8% of market cap — comfortably past any materiality threshold you'd care to name. The contracts span power T&D in India and overseas, buildings and factories, and, for the first time, a water project in the Middle East. This is the company's debut in that region's water infrastructure, a deliberate push into a geography with deep infrastructure spending needs.
CEO Manish Mohnot said the wins reinforce market leadership and growth visibility. The order book diversification gives institutional investors a fresh reason to look at the stock. At a trailing P/E of 22.7, the valuation already prices in steady execution. But a new geography and a new segment open the door to a re-rating.
