Fundraise plans
- Currently, Best Agrolife Limited is managing its CAPEX and operational funding through internal accruals, supported by healthy EBITDA margins and efficient working capital management.
- As stated by Sanjeev Kharbanda, so far, the company has been able to fund growth and CAPEX through internal sources without the need for debt.
- However, as the company approaches Greenfield project expansions aligned with its revenue growth targets, it anticipates exploring additional funding options.
- This implies that in the near future, Best Agrolife may consider raising debt or equity to support larger scale expansions but no concrete plans or timelines were disclosed during the call.

Capex plans
Yes- Best Agrolife has planned an overall CAPEX of around Rs. 200 crores primarily for:
- - Capacity enhancement
- - Backward integration to support market demand
- - Investment in R&D and market footprint expansion
- Actual cash outflow for CAPEX for the current financial year is expected to be around Rs. 100-150 crores, with some spillover to next year.
- A separate registration budget of around Rs. 50 crores is allocated for export development, product registration, and market studies.
- The company is exploring green energy initiatives, having signed a 3 MW solar power purchase agreement to reduce energy costs by 33% and lower carbon footprint (~4,000 tonnes annually).
- Future funding for expansion may require additional debt once the company scales up to Greenfield projects, though currently CAPEX is funded through internal accruals.
