Fundraise plans

No
- For the three new hospitals planned (Dombivli, Pune 2 in Bibvewadi, Mira Road), no additional debt is currently planned. - The company intends to fund these projects through internal accruals and existing cash reserves. - The current cash on books is Rs. 250+ crores and nine-month EBITDA is Rs. 218 crores. - Since the hospital expansions are greenfield projects, CAPEX expenditure is staggered, allowing cash deployment as it is generated. - If future opportunities arise beyond the current three hospitals, the board will evaluate the need to raise debt, equity, or a mix of both at that time. - Financing decisions will be made based on the nature and timing of those opportunities. In summary, no immediate plans for fresh fundraising through debt or equity; current projects will be funded via internal resources, with future funding evaluated as needed.
