₹100 Crore Order Boosts Market Sentiment
Protean eGov, formerly known as NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure Ltd, disclosed in an exchange filing that it has secured a ₹100 crore contract from a central government agency to implement and manage a comprehensive digital identity and e-governance infrastructure project. The project is expected to be executed over the next 24 months and is aimed at boosting digital public services and data management.

The announcement has rekindled investor confidence in the counter, which had been consolidating over the past few weeks. Analysts suggest that this contract win could pave the way for future large-scale government tech projects for Protean eGov.
“This ₹100 crore win affirms Protean’s strong positioning in the digital governance domain. It also enhances its order book visibility and supports medium-term revenue growth,” said an analyst at a leading brokerage firm.
Strong Fundamentals and Future Outlook
