🏗️capex
Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?
- Current CAPEX budget is around Rs. 25 crores, covering both Brownfield (Low Voltage) and Greenfield (High Voltage) expansions, expected by FY'23 end.
- Low Voltage expansion includes upgrading facilities to handle older and new RoHS-compliant contact series (AgCdO and AgSnO2-2), running production in parallel.
- High Voltage capacity will increase by at least 30%, although demand growth in HV will be slower; CAPEX is for medium to long-term investment.
- Historically, maintenance CAPEX is about Rs. 3-4 crores annually, with total CAPEX averaging Rs. 5 crores mostly for plant, machinery, and R&D equipment.
- Future strategic investment plans include expanding expertise beyond silver to other metals like copper and tungsten, though specifics are not yet finalized or publicly disclosed.
- Growth-related CAPEX is driven by market demand and global footprint shifts, especially with major global companies shifting production to India.
