Majority of equipment will be freed up from the next 2-3 quarters and redeployed to new road projects. Only some balancing equipment will be added as needed. No plans for further equity infusion from the standalone company. Strategic focus is on expanding water supply projects with fully tied funding, alongside selective road projects. Capex mainly to support road project execution, with minimal additional investment expected.

Fundraise plans

Yes

- No further equity infusion is planned from the standalone company to the subsidiaries or projects. - The company is not committing any more equity to projects and is focusing on restructuring them. - Long-term debt is being actively reduced through repayments (about 200 crores per year targeted). - Interest costs have been reduced through better rates and credit rating improvements. - No mention of any new debt fundraising; rather, focus is on deleveraging and managing working capital. - Capex requirements are minimal, especially for water projects which don't need capex; existing equipment will be redeployed. - Monetization opportunities in assets (like Sembcorp's thermal power) may bring cash inflows but are not new fundraising.
