- The company is not planning significant new debt for the current year as internal accruals and cash reserves will fund capex and expansions. - Expansion of resorts in Bangalore and Goa will be funded mainly through internally generated resources. - For acquisitions like the Icon Property (INR34 crores), a short-term loan from promoters is planned, which will be repaid within 2 years from internal cash flows. - The promoter loan interest has been reduced from 18% to 14%. - Any new major opportunities requiring investment might involve minor debt, but the company does not intend to own more hotels, preferring asset-light revenue-sharing models. - The management is currently focused on reducing debt and maintaining a robust balance sheet without aggressive external fundraising in the near term. - No mention of new equity fundraising or ESOPs currently; ESOPs are under consideration for senior management in the future after this financial year’s performance is clearer.

- Expansion of resorts in Bangalore and Goa planned this year, involving some capex funded through internal cash generation. - Renovation or "upliftment" of some owned hotels' rooms ongoing to increase average room rates, with limited capex. - Icon Property: Planning to acquire remaining 49% stake (currently hold 51%), no additional capex indicated but internal accruals and short-term promoter loan involved. - Resort property at Yelahanka: Permission issues underway; plans include adding 32 cottages in the future. - Revenue sharing hotel model involves minimal capex, primarily focused on management team strengthening. - Overall, no major capital raise or increase in debt anticipated for capex in near term; internal accruals and cash reserves will cover investments.
