  • As of the latest conference call in Q3 FY25, Monte Carlo Fashions Limited has zero long-term debt; the current debt increase is only due to higher working capital requirements linked to inventory buildup and planning for the next summer season.
  • The company expects this working capital debt to reduce in the March quarter.
  • There is no mention of any current or planned fundraising through equity.
  • The company has indicated openness to acquisitions if good opportunities arise, funded from their existing cash reserves, implying no immediate need for fresh fundraising.
  • Capex for the next financial year is guided to be normal, around INR 15-20 crores, suggesting no large capital raise is anticipated for expansion.
