Ashoka Buildcon stands out with the cheapest multiple and the strongest return on equity in the group. IRB Infrastructure Developers is the exception, with the weakest return on equity and the highest debt, keeping it in hold territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>India&#8217;s road and infrastructure builders have been hit by a broad sector correction even as order books and execution have stayed reasonably steady, leaving valuations across the space unusually compressed.
