💰fundraise
Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?
- No new large-scale fundraising through debt or equity is currently planned.
- The company expects debt to increase in the short term (next 6-9 months) due to ongoing CAPEX of INR 70-80 crores by year-end or Q1 FY27.
- Post this period, a deleveraging cycle is expected as production ramp-up starts.
- Future small maintenance CAPEX may occur opportunistically but no big CAPEX plans are in the pipeline.
- The management aims to grow using existing capacities and outsourcing without significant fresh CAPEX.
- Long-term debt may increase slightly but working capital is tightly controlled to manage overall funding.
- No participation in recent government PLI schemes indicating no immediate equity infusion plans from that route.
🏗️capex
Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?
- Remaining CAPEX for the current year is around INR 70-80 crores, expected to complete by year-end or spill slightly into Q1 of next year due to installation timelines.
- No major new CAPEX plans are currently in the pipeline, only small maintenance or opportunity-driven investments as needed.
- Debt will peak in the next 6-9 months due to ongoing CAPEX, followed by a deleveraging phase once production and installations stabilize.
- Focus is on leveraging existing capacities and outside capacities to grow fabric and garment businesses without significant fresh CAPEX.
- Potential to quickly add garment capacity if demand strengthens, as expansion there requires relatively low investment.
- Strategic emphasis on intensifying use of value-added yarns in fabrics and garments, aiming to increase margin and achieve better returns on CAPEX.
- No participation in recent government PLI scheme for fabric due to already sufficient capacity.
