  "summary": "Ashoka Buildcon's shares surged nearly 15% on Monday after securing a Rs 602.16-crore order from Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL). The infrastructure company's stock marked its biggest single-day gain in over six years, with the contract awarded through percentage-rate bidding. The project involves supplying, erecting, testing, and commissioning electro-mechanical systems for tunnels under the Rishikesh-Karnaprayag New Broad Gauge Rail Line Project in Uttarakhand. The order also includes the installation of substations, cables, generator sets, and firefighting systems, with a completion deadline of 30 months. Despite the rally, Ashoka Buildcon shares remain 25% lower for the year, reflecting its strong order pipeline in railway electrification and transmission infrastructure projects.",
