MIC Electronics, a smallcap company, has recently secured a significant order from Indian Railways, marking another milestone in its journey that has seen its stock price surge over 5500% in the last five years.
A Major Boost from Indian Railways
The Hyderabad-based MIC Electronics Limited, known for its battery manufacturing, announced it has received a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from the Palakkad Division of Indian Railways. This order is for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of an IPIS (Integrated Passenger Information System) at Kannur station.
The project is part of the larger “Amrit Bharath Station Scheme,” which aims to enhance passenger amenities across railway stations. The order also includes a comprehensive annual maintenance contract (CAMC) for six years, adding to its long-term value.
The total value of this work order stands at Rs 1,28,34,157.90, which is approximately Rs 1.28 crore. This win highlights the company’s growing involvement in critical infrastructure projects.
Navigating the Stock Market: A Five-Year Surge
MIC Electronics has been a remarkable performer on the stock market over the past half-decade. Despite closing slightly down at Rs 54.84 apiece on Friday, July 18, the company’s share price has delivered astonishing returns to its long-term investors.
