Discussion on G R Infraprojects Limited IPO:

8 Comments

    It is a pure-OFS, company will not receive anything.

    There are 3 ways under which road projects are distributed.

    1. EPC Model – In this model, the NHAI gives the upfront fees. Under this they will not have to maintain the roads. They construct and transfer the roads to NHAI.

    2. BOT Model- In this model, the road companies have to put their money initially and after completion of construction, they earn revenue by toll for certain period of time. Under, this they will have to maintain the roads as well.

    3. HAM Model – In this model, the NHAI provides 40% of the project cost upfront and rest 60% paid as annuity for certain period of time. Under, this they will have to maintain the roads as well.
