fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- LASA Supergenerics is not raising new debt; all recent capex has been funded through internal accruals (debt-free capex). - The company is focusing on generating cash surplus on the balance sheet, aiming for around Rs. 200-300 Crores cash surplus. - There is no mention of any immediate equity fundraising; the company prefers organic growth through project execution rather than acquiring new companies. - Post-merger with Harishree, paid-up capital will increase from Rs. 40 Crores to Rs. 50 Crores, but this is related to the merger process and not fresh equity raising. - Management emphasized a strategy to improve cash flow and maintain a debt-free balance sheet rather than raising new capital through debt or equity in the near term.
