Ashoka Buildcon shares are set to attract attention following the company’s receipt of Letters of Acceptance (LoA) for two significant projects from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDCL). These projects, worth a combined Rs 2,310 crore, focus on bridge construction along the Revas Reddi Coastal Highway.
The first project, valued at Rs 310 crore, involves engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) work for a major bridge across Bankot Creek between Kolmandla (Raigad) and Veshvi in Ratnagiri District. This project is expected to be completed within 36 months, accounting for monsoon periods.
