Power Mech Projects shares fall 1.13% amid profit booking on weak market sentiment
Why did Power Mech Projects Ltd shares fall today?
Power Mech Projects Ltd shares were trading at ₹2,365.0 on Monday afternoon, reflecting a decline of 1.13% in the stock price. Despite the company announcing a significant new order win, the market reaction appeared muted, with the stock slipping lower during the trading session.
The company has secured a substantial order from Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited for the End-to-End Operation and Maintenance of a Coal-fired Co-Generation Power Plant located at Vedanta Limited, Kalahandi, Lanjigarh, in Odisha, India. Under this contract, Power Mech Projects will handle the operations and maintenance of a 130 MW capacity plant (comprising two 50 MW units and one 30 MW unit), along with the Operation and Maintenance of Balance of Plant (BOP) for an additional 90 MW. The order is valued at ₹327.35 Crores (excluding GST) and is expected to be executed over a contract period of 48 months.
While securing this order is a positive development for Power Mech Projects, strengthening its order book in the operations and maintenance segment, the stock continued to trade in the red. The decline of 1.13% could be attributed to broader market sentiment or profit-booking by investors, as the stock may have already factored in such order wins in its recent price movement. The order, being from a domestic entity (Vedanta Aluminium Metal Limited), adds to the company's growing portfolio of O&M contracts in the power sector.
