The estimated consideration for these projects, on completion, is anticipated to be Rs 466 crore.

The transaction is subject to shareholding transfer restrictions set out in the concession agreement performed between the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and these step-down subsidiaries, and other approvals.

As of June end, 2021, the KNR construction company commands a strong order book of Rs 6,596 crore.

In FY21, KNR constructions and its subsidiaries closed with Rs 2,903.63 crore, and its consolidated net value was Rs 1,976.47 crore.
