The contract is valued at ₹77.9 crore.

Last month, ratings agency CARE Ratings had downgraded Vishnu Prakash R Punglia's rating and outlook on the company's short and long-term bank facilities.

Additionally, VPRPL's long-term and short-term bank facilities worth ₹760 crore have also been downgraded to CARE BBB and CARE A3, respectively, with a negative outlook from CARE BBB+ and CARE A3+, respectively, with a stable outlook.

CARE wrote in its note that the outlook revision from stable to negative is driven primarily by a continued increase in VPRPL's working capital intensity in the financial year 2025, leading to a greater dependence on working capital borrowings and adversely impacting the company's liquidity profile. The revision also factors in a lower-than-expected scale of operations in the previous financial year, according to CARE.
