capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- No capital investment has been made yet in the furniture manufacturing business; manufacturing is currently via contract manufacturing with negligible investment. (Page 18) - Planned to give clearer guidance on the furniture business capex in a future quarter, as the business is still nascent. (Page 18) - FY26 capex guidance remains at Rs. 200-210 crores despite reduced seat addition guidance; this is due to a higher share of straight leases and elite centers requiring higher fit-out capex. (Page 16) - Nine months FY26 capex spent: Rs. 159 crores; expected full year capex to remain around Rs. 200-210 crores. (Page 12) - No immediate plans to invest in new segments (retail, hospitality) for interior business; currently 95% focus is on commercial workplace interiors. Expansion into other segments may occur in 2-3 years. (Page 18)
