India's railway network is one of the largest in the world and is managed under a single system. It is often referred to as the backbone of the country's economy because it connects people, goods, and businesses across the nation. Spanning thousands of kilometres, it reaches almost every part of India, making it the fourth largest railway system globally, after the US, China, and Russia.

The Indian Railway network is growing at a healthy rate. In the next five years, the Indian railway market is expected to be the third largest, accounting for 10% of the global market.

Amid this positive growth, Texmaco Rail & Engineering has emerged as a standout performer in this sector. Texmaco Rail & Engineering is a key player in the Indian railway sector, catering to both passenger and freight requirements with a diverse range of products. Today, its share has surged up to 6%. Take a look at what's pushing the shares higher and if the rally can hold.

#1 Rail Maintenance Contract

Shares of Texmaco Rail & Engineering jumped over 6% on Tuesday, and the reason is quite straightforward.

The company has won a new contract from South Western Railway. It will take care of the annual maintenance and repair work of overhead electric wires (OHE) and power supply systems in the Mysore Division for two years.

The project includes 1,046 kilometres of railway tracks that operate on electric power. The contract is worth Rs 276.7 million (m).

Under this contract, Texmaco will take care of regular maintenance, emergency repairs, and preventive checks to ensure the railway's electric power systems work smoothly without interruptions.

With this new order, Texmaco's total railway electrification maintenance extends to 3,702.62 kilometres of tracks across various railway divisions in India, including the Bengaluru Division and parts of the Dedicated Freight Corridor. This solidifies the company's role in railway electrification and maintenance services.

This can be one of the main reasons why the company's share price is rising.
