IRB Infra is one of the largest EPC contract-based construction companies in India. It reported its FY20 annual report in the current month. The annual report mentioned that of its plans to finish during current fiscal year, five projects are under construction out of the nine projects in Private InvIT. These projects are allotted for four to six laning assets, of which four will be completed in FY21. This is anticipated to result in a 45 per cent jump in tariffs on completion. This will provide a strong boost in collections and facilitate operations.
