Genus Power stands out with the highest return on equity of the group, while Kalpataru Projects and KEC International are established power transmission EPC contractors. This gap between valuation and profitability is why these infrastructure stocks stand out on a simple sector screen, though a formal buy rating needs deeper company specific research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>India&#8217;s infrastructure and EPC industry covers power transmission lines, metering equipment and large project execution, with order books and execution timelines driving earnings visibility more than any single macro factor. Not every stock in the space trades at the same multiple. A screen of listed infrastructure stocks against their sector average price to earnings ratios surfaces three names still priced below that benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>Genus Power Infrastructures, Kalpataru Projects International and KEC International all currently trade below their respective industry PE benchmarks, despite posting positive return on equity. This piece breaks down why each stock screens as undervalued, what the underlying financials show, and the risks that come with owning infrastructure and EPC contractors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:
