How has Highway Infrastructure Limited's revenue and project pipeline evolved since its IPO in August 2025, and does the reallocation pattern of proceeds signal any strategic shift in its EPC versus toll business focus?
Given that Working Capital for Toll received significantly more funds (Rs. 585.02 million) than originally proposed (Rs. 250.00 million), what does this imply about the company's toll collection performance and future road concession acquisition strategy?
Could the repeated deadline extensions for IPO proceed utilisation attract heightened SEBI scrutiny, and what precedent does this set for other SME infrastructure companies listed on BSE and NSE?
