India, Oct. 9 -- The Hyderabad-based infrastructure company NCC Limited has added a new road assignment close to home. The job involves building a radial stretch that connects to Hyderabad's Outer Ring Road, and project teams on the ground should be busy for about a year and a half. The news arrives right after a quarter of double-digit revenue growth, and it raises a fair question: how much does one order of this size really move the needle against a much larger order pipeline?

Shares of NCC Ltd are trading at Rs. 123.56, up 3.02 percent on Friday. The stock touched the intraday high of Rs. 127.74 after opening at Rs. 125.00 before slipping to a low of Rs. 122.36. The company commands a market capitalization of Rs. 7,752.02 crore.
