700 - 750 crore or about 11 time its FY11 earnings, reports VCCircle. The PE firm has already completed the due diligence process on the company and the deal is in the final documentation stage.
Chennai-based Veda Corporate Advisors is running the authorization to the deal. Incorporated as GVR Construction in 2001 by civil engineer and first-generation entrepreneur G. Venkateswara Rao, Chairman, and K. Ganga Prasad, Managing Director, the company is now called as GVR Infra Projects.
