Orders for 70km(30%) to kernex have already been allotted or its anticipated?
The 70km was a historical trial order - award year is mentioned in the document.
Believe the key monitorable is the new tender that has been floated for 1200 km worth 190 crores on 8th March 2019 ( http://tender.itiltd-india.com/HYDERABAD/tenders/SCR%20TCAS%20EOI.pdf)
One of the eligibility criteria is:
“Annual financial turnover during the last 3 years, ending 31st March of the previous financial year should be at least 30% of the estimated cost of the EOI and profit making for each of the last 3 financial years.”
Does Kernex qualify the criteria? According to Screener they are a loss-making company for the last 6 consecutive years. Sales doesn’t meet the criteria either.
