Notably, Infra.Market has been profitable since inception and has a revenue run rate of $700 million.

It now has customers in 10 states in India and exports to international markets like Dubai, Singapore, Jordan, Italy and more, the company said in a statement.

Infra.Market company will look at acquisition opportunities as well. It had recently acquired Equiphunt, a equipment solutions platform that provides services like equipment ownership, maintenance and utilization.

The company expects to benefit significantly from the ongoing increase in allocation for infrastructure projects under the National Infrastructure Pipeline, which has planned projects worth $2 trillion to be executed over the next few years.
