Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

No significant equity fundraising is currently planned. The focus is on operational cash flow, legacy receivables recovery, and asset monetization to manage financial needs. Small, non-structural fund raises might occur but nothing substantial or immediate. Debt reduction of INR 600 crores is planned for the year alongside 30% business growth. There is no immediate plan for a large equity raise, and any debt reduction is primarily through repayments and asset monetization. Promoter-level value monetization is expected over 12 months to generate funds for loan repayment and reduce pledging.

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

Currently focusing on maintenance capex primarily, with no immediate large-scale growth capex planned. Some growth capex may be needed for specific product lines like plumbing fittings and expanding tissue culture business capacity. Traditional businesses like drip irrigation, PVC pipes, and polyethylene pipes have sufficient capacity for the next 2-3 years without additional capex. Future capex linked to increased production in newer segments but overall manageable within existing assets. No significant immediate capital raise planned; focus is on using operating cash flow and monetizing surp

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

Current order book is close to almost INR 2,000 crores across businesses (Page 6). Piping and drip irrigation orders mostly come from dealers on a weekly/daily basis, so order book may not fully reflect total expected business (Page 6). Institutional business and food business rely on annual contracts or order books for visibility (Page 6).
