Small-cap stock below ₹20: Gujarat Toolroom share price surged 5 per cent to hit its upper circuit of ₹14.38 on BSE in intraday trade on Tuesday, October 15, after the company announced it completed a previous order and was awarded a new one from Reliance Industries. Shares of the company that deals in plastic products opened at ₹14.37 on Tuesday against their previous close of ₹13.70 and rose 4.96 per cent to the level of ₹14.38.

In an exchange filing on October 15, Gujarat Toolroom said, “...successfully completed an order worth ₹290 million for the construction supplies to Reliance Industries on 14th October 2024. This order was previously secured on 5th March 2024 and marks a critical milestone in our partnership with one of India’s most prominent conglomerates.”

"We are also excited to announce that the company has been awarded a new order worth ₹310 million from Reliance Industries for the supply of additional construction materials. This order is expected to be completed within the next two months, further strengthening our ongoing collaboration with Reliance Industries," the company further said.

With these two orders, the company's cumulative order value from Reliance Industries stands at ₹600 million.

"The continuation of this partnership reinforces the trust Reliance Industries places in Gujarat Toolroom, affirming our position as a dependable provider of construction supplies. We are optimistic about receiving further orders from Reliance Industries and other key clients, which will drive future growth and revenue expansion for the company," said Gujarat Toolroom.

The company recently successfully completed a ₹500 million qualified institutional placement (QIP), issuing 43.48 million equity shares at ₹11.50 per share. The company intends to utilise the capital raised from the QIP to accelerate its expansion plans, focusing on growth areas like clean energy, mining, and international operations.

Gujarat Toolroom has exposed itself to multiple high-growth sectors.

It has developed a hybrid energy power plant in Gujarat and has plans to integrate solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.

Additionally, the company has acquired gold mines in Zambia to add significant value to its portfolio.

"The increasing global demand for precious metals presents a lucrative opportunity for the company’s mining division. Furthermore, establishing a Dubai subsidiary marks another strategic leap, giving Gujarat Toolroom a foothold in the rapidly growing Middle Eastern and African markets. This subsidiary will focus on expanding the company’s presence in the mining and construction sectors, where demand is robust and growing," the company said.
