IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company is in the construction business with related service offerings. It posted growth in top and bottom lines for the reported periods, but higher net for FY24 raises eyebrows. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. This can be termed as “High Risk/Low Return” bet and may be skipped.
