L. T. Elevator

- L.T. Elevator Limited plans to raise additional funds through a preferential equity issue once market conditions improve, as current markets are not favorable for raising the desired capital. - The preferential fundraising is primarily to support increased production capacity, targeting 1,500 to 2,000 elevators in FY28, which is a significant ramp-up from prior targets. - They have already acquired land for a new facility and are planning a larger CAPEX to expand manufacturing capacity accordingly. - No new company acquisitions in the elevator segment are planned currently; focus is on executing well with existing assets. - On the debt side, no specific mention was made about new borrowings during the call. - The company is considering fundraising to support growth in both B2C (direct-to-consumer) and B2G (business-to-government) segments, reflecting higher growth ambitions post Ricardo merger.

Elevator is planning a new manufacturing facility with a capacity of Rs.300 to Rs.400 crores to support increased production, especially post-Ricardo merger. - The new facility is expected to go live between December 2026 and March 2027. - Current facility capacity supports roughly Rs.170-180 crores of revenue, and the new facility will replace it entirely. - With increased capacity, the company aims to produce around 1,500 to 2,000 elevators in FY28. - There is likely to be a bigger CAPEX spend soon to accommodate higher production needs due to the acquisition and demand growth. - The company may raise funds through preferential issues once market conditions improve to support this capital expenditure. - On the parking systems side, exploration of growth opportunities including potential international expansion is underway, though still early stage.
