Fundraise plans

The transcript does not explicitly mention any current or future fundraising through debt or equity. However, relevant points include: - The acquisition of 100% equity share capital of three SPVs from Private InvIT is expected to release ₹4,905 crore in cash. - Using the standard 70:30 debt-to-equity funding model, this equity release enhances financial capacity to bid for new projects valued at approximately ₹15,000 crore. - No specific plans or announcements about fresh debt or equity fundraising were discussed during the call. - The company focuses on asset rotation and efficient capital deployment rather than immediate debt or equity issuance. In summary, while no new fundraising was announced, asset monetization is strengthening financial capacity for future bidding.
