Fundraise plans

- Management previously indicated that internal accruals, operating cash flow, and existing debt capacity are sufficient to fund capacity expansion and capex plans without immediate need for additional fundraising.
- The company is actively evaluating inorganic growth opportunities (mergers and acquisitions) across aerospace, auto components, and defence segments, and will consider equity issuance if definitive deals materialize.
- No specific current or near-term commitments to raise funding via debt or equity beyond the preferential issue have been mentioned.
- Management stated that any new, concrete fundraising plans tied to M&A or expansion will be communicated in due course.
