From today’s early trading data, you can understand how this stock has surpassed all calculations and analyses.

What’s fuelling this demand?

The Udaipur based road engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) company has its operations currently in 15 states across this country. It is one of the most experienced firms in the space of design and construction of highways. Recently, the company has diversified its portfolio by venturing into railway.

To understand what is making GR Infraprojects an attractive proposition, read on.

GR Infraprojects has been on an upward trajectory for the past two decades and is among the largest players in the EPC segment. As of March 2021, the company has an order book valued at about Rs. 19,000 crores. It also has a book to bill ratio 2.6 times of its FY2021 revenue.

Moving ahead –

As of March 2021, GR Infraprojects has 1 build, operate, and transfer (BOT) project and 14 road projects of Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). Out of these 14 –

  • 5 of them are currently in operation
  • 4 of them are under construction
  • 5 of them are yet to commence

Apart from these, the company has also submitted a bid for Metro and High-speed railway projects.

Alongside its varied project portfolio, GR Infraprojects also has a robust business model. To give an example, the company has more than 7000 in-house construction equipment, which reduces the dependency on third-party machinery. This may require a higher one-time investment, but in turn, reduce the operating cost and cut on delays due to the unavailability of necessary equipment.

Additionally, the company has a low net-debt-to-equity ratio of 0.2 times, which places it in a position to meet its requirement of funds without hassle.

To answer the question, the IPO demand of GR Infraprojects is fuelled by its strong financials. The company has completed more than 100 projects and established itself as a trusted EPC and BOT firm.

Moreover, the Indian Government is planning to increase its investment in infrastructure, which is again good news for firms like GR Infraprojects. With their expertise and experience, it is likely that they will rope in more Government contracts, bolstering their books further.

To sum up

GR Infraprojects, being a leading firm in this segment, is at an advantage and is a comparatively safe bet for investors. Considering their books, the current hike in share prices is not unexpected but has certainly surpassed all the expectations.
