Shares of Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL) rallied by 4% on Friday, June 7, in the backdrop of the state-owned entity bagging a ₹495-crore order from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).

"...it is hereby informed that Rail Vikas Nigam Limited has received Letter of Award from National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) for 'Project Execution Agency (PEA) contract for execution of Balance Civil & HM works of Barrage Complex including part HRT package of Rammam Hydro Electric Project Stage-III (3x40 MW)," RVNL informed the exchanges post the market closing hours on Thursday.

The project is to be executed in a period of five-and-a-half years, it further noted.

Following the announcement, shares of the rail PSU opened 1.5% higher at ₹374 apiece on the NSE. In the first hour of trading, it peaked to a high of ₹382, which was 3.6% higher as against the previous day's close.
