Engineers India Ltd (EIL), a leading public sector engineering consultancy firm, has secured two significant international contracts with a combined estimated value of Rs 730 crore. These contracts have been awarded by clients in the Middle East for Project Management Consultancy (PMC) Services and Engineering & Project Management Services Agreements.

According to the company’s official filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the PMC Services contract is valued at approximately Rs 650 crore, while the Engineering & Project Management Services contract is worth around Rs 80 crore. This development underscores EIL’s growing presence in the international engineering and consultancy sector, further strengthening its global portfolio.

Following the announcement, EIL’s stock witnessed a notable surge in early trading. The share price rose by 4.53 per cent, reaching an intraday high of Rs 173.95. However, it later settled with a modest gain of 0.78 per cent, closing at Rs 167.70. Despite the positive movement, the stock has recorded an overall decline of 8.98 per cent on a year-to-date (YTD) basis.

Trading activity on the BSE indicated that around 2.42 lakh shares of EIL were exchanged at the time of reporting. This volume was below the two-week average of 3.78 lakh shares. The stock’s total turnover for the day stood at Rs 4.11 crore, with the company’s market capitalization reaching Rs 9,394.54 crore.

From a technical perspective, EIL’s stock price is currently trading above its 5-day, 10-day, 20-day, 30-day, and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA), reflecting short-term bullish momentum. However, it remains below the 100-day, 150-day, and 200-day SMAs, indicating the potential for further fluctuations.

The stock’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned at 55.17, suggesting that it is neither overbought nor oversold. Typically, an RSI below 30 indicates an oversold condition, while a value above 70 signals an overbought scenario.

EIL’s financial indicators provide further insights into its market positioning. The company’s Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio stands at 30.02, while its Price-to-Book (P/B) value is 3.95. The firm has reported Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 5.57, with a Return on Equity (RoE) of 13.14 per cent. Additionally, its one-year beta is 1.9, reflecting a relatively high level of stock volatility.

As of December 2023, the Government of India holds a 51.32 per cent stake in the company, reinforcing its status as a key player in the state-run engineering and consultancy domain.

The recent contract wins are expected to bolster EIL’s financial performance and international footprint in the coming quarters. Industry analysts suggest that sustained execution of high-value projects and further diversification in overseas markets could contribute to long-term growth.

With its expertise in engineering and project management services, EIL remains well-positioned to capitalize on global opportunities while maintaining its leadership in the domestic sector. Investors and stakeholders will closely monitor the company’s performance shortly, especially in light of these strategic international contracts.
