NEW DELHI: Shares of Reliance Infrastructure surged nearly 20 per cent in Wednesday's session after the company bagged Versova-Bandra sea link project (VBSL) from Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) worth Rs 7,000 crore. The scrip rose nearly 20 per cent to hit a high of Rs 64.80.

Later, the scrip closed at Rs 60.95, up 17.44 per cent on BSE.

"Reliance Infrastructure is fully geared to deliver the project in 60 months from the appointed date of June 24, 2019 as per the contract.

VBSL is a marquee project with a length of 17.17 km, which is three times the length of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link of 5.6 km.

VBSL would cut down commute time of Mumbaikars from over 90 minutes to 10 minutes.

Mumbaikars can look forward to drastic savings in their fuel cost besides an eco-friendly travel with minimal carbon footprint," the company said in a BSE filing. "For the project, Reliance Infrastructure have already completed the works related to soil investigation, in partnership with M/s.

Fugro Ltd, and engineering design, in partnership with M/s.

Dar Al Handasah," the company added.

Commenting on the development, ED and CEO, Reliance Infrastructure, Punit Garg, said, "This project will further propel Reliance Infrastructure as a premier E-C company in India.

Our partnership with Astaldi S.p.A, the third biggest construction player in the world in bridges, will help us create a truly world class mega infrastructure project for Mumbai.” Last week, ratings agency India Ratings downgraded Reliance Infrastructure's long-term issuer rating to 'D - Issuer Not Cooperating'. Reliance Infrastructure had reported a net loss of Rs 3,301 crore for the quarter ended March 31 on a consolidated basis.

The company had recorded a profit of Rs 133.66 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. Earlier in the day, the stock opened at Rs 52.50 on BSE against its previous closing of Rs 51.90.
