Fundraise plans

- No immediate plans for new equity fundraising such as QIP (Qualified Institutional Placement) to reduce debt-equity ratio. - Management is comfortable with current debt levels and prefers to work under pressure rather than dilute equity. - While debt has increased due to working capital needs, much of the CapEx is being financed through internal cash accruals. - Debt growth is mainly short-term for working capital; long-term debt increase is minimal. - Management is open to reconsidering fundraising options if large-scale projects or inorganic growth opportunities arise in the future. - No active thoughts on NSE listing or other liquidity-enhancing measures currently, but suggestions are being considered internally. Overall, current growth is primarily organic with careful monitoring of capital structure, and any future fundraising would be strategically decided.
