B L Kashyap & Sons secures ₹1,067 crore worth of orders in 2 days, equal to 65% of its market cap
This was the second major order after the company secured a ₹ 157.26 crore contract on Friday from Manyata Promoters Private Limited for civil and structural works at the Embassy Manyata Business Park project. Together, these two orders amount to ₹ 1,067.26 crore, equivalent to approximately 65% of the company's current market capitalization of ₹ 1,641 crore.
Earlier in May, the company had also bagged an order worth ₹ 510 crore from Fidatocity Homes Private Limited for the construction of a residential group housing project with a built-up area of approximately 28.30 lakh square feet.
Zooming out, it ended FY25 with a strong order book of ₹ 3,021 crore, representing 2.16 times its FY25 revenue. Haryana and Karnataka are the largest contributors to the company's order book. Segment-wise, commercial projects account for 70% of the total order book, followed by residential (17%), institutional (8%), and infrastructure (5%), according to its latest investor filing.
Looking ahead, the company aims to continue bidding for railway projects by leveraging its experience from completed, ongoing, and upcoming metro and railway projects. It plans to strategically grow its presence in the railway sector, with the goal of increasing the government project share to 25% of the order book in FY26, according to the company's recent investor presentation.
Currently, its private-to-government project ratio stands at 93:07. The company is targeting a more balanced ratio by capitalizing on infrastructure investments under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP).
As part of its future strategy, it said it plans to strategically monetize non-core assets to achieve financial freedom by FY2027. This will involve identifying and liquidating underutilized assets, optimizing its portfolio, and reallocating resources to high-growth areas.
Through the unlocking of non-essential assets, the company aims to strengthen its financial position, reduce liabilities, and increase flexibility for reinvestment in core business initiatives. Meanwhile, the company also stated that it has significantly reduced its debt from ₹ 700 crore to ₹ 275 crore in FY25.
It also informed us that there is currently no term loan outstanding, with only working capital and bank guarantee limits in place. CRISIL has upgraded the company's credit rating to CRISIL B+/Stable/A4.'
The company's shares entered a significant correction phase after hitting an all-time high of ₹ 120.55 apiece in August last year, shedding nearly 40% of their value since then to trade at current level of ₹ 73.
This sustained decline is largely due to profit-booking, following a sharp rally between June 2022 and August 2024, during which the stock surged 488% without any major pullbacks.
Looking at the long term, the stock is still up 1,162% over the past five years. From its March 2020 low of ₹ 3.30 apiece, the stock has jumped an impressive 2,112% to date.

India to be 3rd-largest economy by 2028, to reach $10.6 trillion by 2035: Morgan Stanley
A Morgan Stanley report on Wednesday said it expects India's economy to be the third-largest globally by 2028 and more than double in size to $10.6 trillion by 2035. Embedded in this forecast is the likelihood that three to five states (Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka) will have an economy of nearly $1 trillion each, ranking in the top 20 global economies between 2030 and 2035, the report projected. "Based on the latest data, the top three states are Maharashtra, Gujarat and Telangana. The states showing significant improvement in ranks over the past five years are Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh,' the report noted. India will drive a fifth of global growth in the coming decade and become essential to earnings growth for many multinational companies. 'To secure this outcome, among other things, the role of India's 28 states and eight Union Territories is critical. States not only play a pivotal role in fiscal management but also compete for investments by creating suitable policies and incentives, easing business conditions (ultimately, a business or factory is set up in a particular state),' said economists from the global financial institution. They have independent political cycles with varying mandates that can affect growth positively or negatively and are empowered by law to control factors of production. 'The success of India's competitive federalism will help decide whether she becomes a factory to the world, doubling her per capita income in the coming seven years – and whether the stock market continues its strong performance,' the report emphasised. States are economically important as India becomes a $10.6 trillion economy by 2035, wielding considerable political and legislative power. Their policy frameworks are capable of influencing India's rise as a global manufacturing hub. In the past decade, there has been a concerted push for development of physical infrastructure – the Central government doubled its capex to 3.2 per cent of GDP in FY2025 from 1.6 per cent of GDP in FY2015. This has led to significant infrastructure growth across states. 'Highways rose 60 per cent, airports doubled, and metro network quadrupled. Infrastructure programmes spearheaded by the Central government -- such as PM Gati Shakti, the National Infrastructure Pipeline, Bharatmala, Sagar Mala, and UDAN -- have been promulgated alongside state-specific initiatives,' said the report. States collaborate with the Centre on these projects and play a crucial role in planning and implementation. Further, state governments are also responsible for investments in areas related to power, water, and urban development, it mentioned.
