Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 2- The company targets about 20% core business revenue growth in FY25, with additional growth from inorganic acquisitions (e.g., Uniclan).

- The new pen production unit (1 million pens/day capacity) started operations towards end of June 2024 and utilization will steadily increase.
- The diaper business (Uniclan acquisition) is expanding capacity from 400 million to 650 million pieces/year, expected to contribute to growth.
- The company focuses primarily on the domestic market for expansion; international sales are currently stable but expected to improve with increased manufacturing capacity.

Fundraise plans
Yes- DOMS Industries is currently infusing approximately INR 29 crores as primary infusion in Uniclan as part of their acquisition, with the balance being secondary purchase from existing promoters (Page 12).
- This primary infusion will support Uniclan's capital requirements for mid-term, including capital expenses for expanding diaper manufacturing capacity and starting the wet wipe segment (Page 12).
- The current net debt level of Uniclan is about INR 38 crores. Post-capital infusion, some of the infusion will be used for capex and working capital (Page 12).
- The company did not mention any specific plans for fresh fundraising through debt or equity beyond this acquisition infusion.
- DOMS plans organic capacity expansions funded primarily through internal accruals—INR 35 crores spent on capex in Q1 FY25 for pen capacity and ongoing projects (Page 3).
- No explicit mention of additional equity or debt fundraising in near future beyond these planned investments was stated.
