It operates as an EPC contractor and on a unit-price basis for infrastructure projects and subcontracts infrastructure construction projects.
The grey market premium of SRM Contractors has surged amid a strong response on day one. Last heard, the company was commanding a premium of Rs 78-82 in the unofficial market, suggesting a listing pop of about 38-40 per cent for the investors. However, the premium in the grey market stood around Rs 65-70 earlier, when the issue was announced.
