💰fundraise
Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- Interest cost increase (INR 0.28 crore) is due to short-term working capital utilization and bank processing charges rather than new significant debt.

- No explicit mention of equity fundraising or large-scale debt in the call.
- Management intends to fund growth and expansions primarily through internal accruals and controlled working capital usage.
