New Delhi: Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Aamir Khan, as well as cricket players Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, have invested in power transmission firm Karamtara Engineering’s pre-IPO round.

The company offers lattice structures for transmission lines, fasteners for solar, wind, transmission, and industrial sectors, and overhead transmission line hardware fittings and accessories.
