Shares of Afcons Infrastructure gained as much as 4.40% during Tuesday’s trading session, touching an intraday high of Rs 290.90, after the company announced it received a favourable arbitral award worth Rs 335.50 crore.

The company disclosed in a regulatory filing that an Arbitral Tribunal, in proceedings between Afcons Infrastructure Limited and Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA), passed the award in favour of Afcons on August 24, 2026.

According to the filing, the award comprises a principal amount of Rs 152.25 crore, along with pre-award and pendente lite interest of Rs 183.25 crore. The interest has been calculated at the SBI Base Rate with quarterly rests for the period from May 1, 2019, to August 24, 2026, taking the total award amount to Rs 335.50 crore.

The company said the award is expected to positively impact its financial position. However, the awarded amount will become payable subject to the counterparty not challenging the arbitral award within the stipulated period prescribed under law.

The development acts as a positive trigger for Afcons Infrastructure shares, with investors reacting to the potential financial benefit from the sizeable arbitration award.
