Garuda Construction Share Price Soars After Securing Rs 1,087-Crore Order
Shares of Garuda Construction and Engineering Ltd. surged over 10% on Thursday, following the announcement that the company had secured a major contract worth Rs 1,087.34 crore from the Gorakhpur Development Authority. This marks the largest order in the company's history.
The new contract involves the development of an International Convention Centre in Gorakhpur, a state-of-the-art facility spanning 24 lakh square feet, with a seating capacity of 5,000. The project is set to be completed within the next 30 months. In addition to the convention centre, the company will also develop adjacent commercial and residential areas, further expanding its presence in the region.

This growth highlights the company's expanding market footprint and its ability to secure large-scale projects in both public and private sectors.
Garuda Construction has already secured necessary approvals from the GDA, including fire safety clearances, for the ambitious project.
