The full read
Mach Travel Solutions just told the market something it didn't know: it's sitting on a ₹92 crore contract from the Punjab government, a sum bigger than 30% of its ₹299 crore market cap. And it's already delivered more than half of it. The company has facilitated travel for 85,000 pilgrims under the Mukh Mantri Teerth Yatra Scheme, with nearly 1,000 yatris starting each day and 75-76 buses operating seven days a week. Chairman Amit Bhatia called the milestone proof of the company's ability to manage large government projects, complementing its corporate travel, MICE, and planned B2C OTA push. For a nano-cap, a contract this size can change trajectory if it converts the remaining yatris and wins more like it.
