Oriental Rail Infrastructure Shares Surge 5% After Major Train Order

Oriental Rail Infrastructure saw its stock price jump 5% to reach Rs 170.3 in trading on Monday. The reason? The company just landed a big deal to supply seats for the Vande Bharat Express, which is India’s very first home-grown semi-high-speed train.

The order, worth Rs 42.89 crore, comes from the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala. It’s for eight sets of seats for Trainset-18, or Vande Bharat Express. The company must deliver these seats by July 24, 2026. They will get 95% of the payment right after the seats are inspected and sent, and the last 5% once everything is accepted.

This is an exciting step for Oriental Rail Infrastructure as they dive into helping with the Vande Bharat project. This effort is part of Indian Railways’ plan to update its trains and make travel better.

In their most recent earnings report for the third quarter of FY25, Oriental Rail Infrastructure posted a net profit of Rs 7.52 crore, but that’s down nearly 40% compared to last year’s Rs 12.51 crore. On the bright side, their revenue from operations went up by 4.3% year-over-year to Rs 152.82 crore.

Looking at some technical indicators, the stock’s relative strength index (RSI) is at 35. An RSI below 30 means a stock is thought to be oversold, while above 70 suggests it might be overbought. The MACD indicator is at -24.7, showing a downward trend for the stock.

Right now, Oriental Rail Infrastructure’s shares are below all key moving average lines, including the 20-day to 200-day averages.

In terms of performance, the stock has dropped 47% over the last three months, but it has risen by a whopping 230% over the last two years. The company is valued at Rs 1,057 crore.

Oriental Rail Infrastructure is known for making various railway products like seats, berths, coated fabrics, plywood, and more.
