💰fundraise
Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?
- Management is deliberating on raising funds but plans to do it at the Godawari Power and Ispat Limited (GPIL) level, not at Jammu Pigments Limited (JPL) level, as it cannot raise funds from the market at JPL level.
- Currently, the INR200 crores capex for JPL expansion is planned to be funded through a combination of internal accruals and appropriate debt raisings as needed.
- There is no explicit mention of imminent equity fundraising; however, suggestions from investors regarding raising funds through QIPs for expansion were acknowledged but no decision was finalized.
- The acquisition investment of INR255 crores was funded partly via infusion by GPIL and partly through acquiring stakes from promoters, with INR100 crores earmarked for expansion and working capital.
- Any further capex beyond the INR200 crores will be decided based on bottleneck identification and may require additional funding accordingly.
