The stock’s intra-day high on April 8 stood at ₹573, a rise of 7.85%, due to gains in the overall market following a temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. This is significant for KEC since the region accounts for a substantial share of its order book, and a ceasefire will help ease the logistical challenges arising from the ongoing war.
The stock has gained over 10% in the last week and 5% in the last month. Year to date, however, the stock has lost more than 22%. As of April 8, 2026, the market capitalization of KEC International is ₹15,246.60 crore.
