Capex plans
YesThe transcript does not explicitly mention specific current or future capex or strategic investments. However, based on the information provided:
- The company has invested in backward integration manufacturing plants (e.g., at Dahej, Saykha) to reduce import dependency, which led to increased depreciation.
- Ongoing R&D pipeline includes technical and formulation development with plans to launch 1-2 technical products and 2-3 patented formulations annually over the next 4-5 years, indicating continued investment in product development.
- Capacity utilization notes suggest the possibility of product mix optimization within existing technical plants, and formulation capacity has ample headroom, implying no imminent major capacity expansions.
- No additional land or non-core asset sales planned, indicating focused operational investment rather than asset divestiture.
- IPO proceeds were primarily used for loan repayment, with no mention of significant remaining funds allocated for capex.
Overall, focus appears on R&D and optimizing existing manufacturing assets rather than large new capital investments.
