Objectives of Afcons Infrastructure Ltd IPO

The company plans to use the net proceeds for the following purposes:

• Purchasing construction equipment.
• Funding long-term working capital needs.
• Repaying part of its outstanding borrowings.
• General corporate purposes.

Some major risks associated with the Afcons Infrastructure Ltd IPO are:

• Despite the hope of debt reduction potential through the IPO, Afcons has a high amount of outstanding debt. That would be a significant risk if revenue growth were to slow up.

• The infrastructure industry is characteristically cyclical in nature and depends a lot on government policies and economic conditions. A lower award of projects would affect the revenue collections of the company.

• Afcons faces competition from major players in the infrastructure sector, both in India and globally, making innovation and cost control essential to maintain a competitive edge.
