Why Infrastructure Investors Are Bullish

3. Every Investor Category Wants In
The breakdown shows retail, NIIs, and QIBs all clamoring for allocations—signifying genuine cross-segment belief in the story.
4. Valuation Looks Reasonable
Data from Mint / Moneycontrol shows valuations near 20x P/E (upper band) and ~4x P/B—reasonable when compared to peers.
Risks to Consider
Even in a frenzy, there are downsides:
While healthy, the core business is government-focused, which means project delays or funding bottlenecks could hurt execution.
Working capital is high (~148 days), implying cash pressure if project timelines slip .
Small scale relative to major EPC firms may limit bidding for mega projects unless scale is ramped.
