Fundraise plans

Yes
  • Nava Limited currently has a net cash position with no outstanding debt at standalone or consolidated levels, implying no immediate need for fundraising through debt (Page 9, 12).
  • There is no interest cost for FY '25 due to the absence of debt (Page 9).
  • Future capex plans amount to approximately $700 million, mainly for the second phase of Zambia expansion and other projects like the Ivory Coast manganese mine and agri business expansion (Pages 5-6, 7).
  • This capex will be funded through a mix of debt and equity (Page 6).
  • Equity infusion for expansion (like the 300 MW Zambia power phase 2) will come from Nava Bharat Singapore (Page 11).
  • The company is generating free cash flows and is expected to start returning shareholder loans and possibly undertake corporate actions soon, suggesting no urgent fundraising but potential for strategic capital raising if needed (Page 7, 12).

Capex plans

Yes
  • Nava Limited has planned growth projects amounting to approximately $700 million, funded through debt and equity.
  • A large portion of this capex is earmarked for the second phase of the Zambia expansion, including doubling the power plant capacity to 600 MW.
  • New projects in Ivory Coast include exploration for manganese mines and potentially setting up a smelter.
  • The agri-business segment, focusing on avocados and possibly other crops, is rapidly growing and part of the future investment plans.
  • No immediate expansion is planned in the Indian ferroalloy business until raw material security is established.
  • Discussions on the Zambia power expansion are progressing fast due to the country's power deficit and government prioritization.
  • Capex funding will partly come from dividends and shareholder loan repayments from international operations.
