The company's shares have been on a winning streak over the last six months, gaining 74% to date on strong order wins.

The company continues to maintain a robust order book, which stood at ₹3,200 crore at the end of FY2023, in contrast to ₹2,664 crore in FY2022. RPP Infra Projects anticipates sustaining its growth momentum in the order book, largely attributed to its commitment to timely and high-quality execution.

Thus, RPP will be a major beneficiary of increasing opportunities in the infrastructure sector, which is reflected in sustainable order wins over the years, the company said in its FY23 annual report.
