Based on H1FY2022 numbers, the IPO is priced at a price to book value of 2.28 times at the upper price band of the IPO, which is in line with the listed peer group.

We believe that the company has a strong track record of delivering the project on time and can maintain strong execution which will get reflected in the pre-sales numbers going ahead. The brokerage had assigned a ‘subscribe’ rating on the issue, according to a report published in Moneycontrol.
