Boom in stock market: Huge rise of up to 8% in shares of HG Infra and Afcons Infrastructure

On Tuesday, strong buying was seen in the shares of two major companies of the infrastructure sector, HG Infra Engineering and Afcons Infrastructure, in the Indian stock market. After the news of receiving huge orders, shares of HG Infra jumped by 8%, while shares of Afcons also registered a rise of more than 5%. The main reason for the enthusiasm among investors about these shares is the new projects worth about Rs 11,000 crore received by the companies.

HG Infra: Big work received from North Frontier Railway

It has been a great week for HG Infra Engineering. The company has received an important project worth about Rs 1,100 crore from North Frontier Railway (NFR). Under this project, the company has to work on doubling of railway lines and infrastructure development. As soon as this news came, the company’s shares crossed the level of ₹ 1,745 on BSE. Experts believe that the company’s strong ‘order book’ is indicating good growth in its revenue in future also.

Afcons Infrastructure: A flurry of foreign and domestic orders

Afcons Infrastructure, a Shapoorji Pallonji Group company, has also made investors happy. The company has informed that it has received new orders worth a total of ₹ 10,000 crore from international and domestic markets. This includes big projects related to marine infrastructure and urban transport. Analysts were keeping an eye on the performance of Afcons since its listing in the stock market and these new orders have further strengthened the company’s position.

Government’s focus on infrastructure sector

According to market experts, the government’s continuous emphasis on infrastructure development in the Union Budget 2026 is directly benefiting the companies in this sector. A large part of the funds allocated for National Highways, Railways and Port Development is reaching these companies in the form of orders. This is why not only HG Infra and Afcons, but also companies like L&T and KNR Constructions are seeing a positive trend.

What is your advice for investors?

Stock market experts say that it is natural for the shares to rise in the short term due to receipt of orders, but investors should also look at the company’s debt and project execution capacity. Both HG Infra and Afcons have shown a good track record of completing projects on time, which is a positive sign for long-term investors.
