Jane Street to Challenge SEBI’s Rs 4,843 Crore Ban Over “Index Arbitrage” Trades
In a significant stride toward enhancing railway safety infrastructure, HBL Engineering Limited has been awarded a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) by the South Central Railway for the provision of Kavach, the indigenous Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed under India’s railway modernization initiative.
The contract spans the Vijayawada–Ballarshah section and includes the installation of Kavach across 48 stations, 446 kilometers of railway track, and 10 locomotives. The project is scheduled to be completed within 18 months and is valued at INR 132.95 crore, inclusive of GST.
Kavach, often referred to as India’s answer to high-end train protection systems, is designed to prevent collisions, signal passing at danger (SPAD), and excessive speed, especially in poor visibility conditions. This new contract reaffirms HBL Engineering’s leading position in the railway safety and signaling space.
This development adds further visibility to the company’s order book and strengthens its strategic relevance in India’s growing railway infrastructure push. However, while the operational momentum is clearly strong, investors may want to examine the stock’s valuation before making any fresh commitments.

According to InvestingPro’s Fair Value feature, the intrinsic value of HBL Engineering stands at INR 381 per share, which indicates a 35.4% downside from its current market price of INR 589.4. This suggests the stock may be trading at stretched valuations relative to its fundamentals.
The Fair Value tool on InvestingPro brings much-needed objectivity to investment decisions. By combining multiple financial models and valuation approaches, it provides an accurate assessment of whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued - sparing investors from the hassle of manual calculations or guesswork. In volatile markets or amidst company-specific news like this, such clarity can be a game-changer.
While HBL Engineering’s recent contract win underlines its execution strength and sectoral tailwinds, prudent investors may still want to weigh the upside against current valuations.
For those looking to build a fundamentally strong portfolio or avoid overhyped entries, InvestingPro’s Fair Value tool can be a valuable companion - especially with the platform currently offering discounts of up to 45% on subscriptions.
