The group undertook a restructuring of business earlier this year and merged IVR Strategic Resources and IVRCL Water Infrastructures Ltd with IVRCL Assets & Holdings. Under the restructuring, IVRCL Assets & Holdings will now handle all real estate and BOT projects while IVRCL Infra would handle all EPC projects.

While IVRCL Strategic Resources handled BOT road projects, IVRCL Water nfrastructures dealt with desalination and sewage treatment projects. Both of these units were subsidiaries of group flagship IVRCL Infrastructures and Projects Ltd, which now holds more than 80% stake in IVRCL Assets & Holdings.
