KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 4): Building materials trader Ipmuda Bhd's subsidiary has bagged a contract worth RM78 million to design and build a 100MW alternating current photovoltaic solar generation facility in Marang, Terengganu.

The contract is expected to contribute to its earnings and net assets per share for the financial year ending June 30, 2021 onwards, until its expiry, it added.

Ipmuda shares were not traded today. The stock last settled at 29.5 sen yesterday after some 19,000 shares were traded, giving it a market capitalisation of RM21.38 million.
