Fundraise plans

- The company is currently in final negotiations for an acquisition in India, with plans to work out funding and debt-equity structure upon deal closure. (Page 15) - Interest cost is high (~Rs. 16 crores), and the management is vigilant about managing debt-equity ratio and equity structure to avoid debt pressure. (Page 15) - Amrut Gada mentioned that once the acquisition deal is closed, they will plan proper funding, including equity to manage leverage. (Page 15) - No explicit mention of new debt or equity fundraising announced yet; plans are contingent on acquisition finalization expected within the financial year with ~90% probability. (Page 15) - Working capital improvements ongoing but no direct mention of fresh capital raise via debt/equity outside acquisition-related funding. (Page 10) In summary, no confirmed current fundraising, but acquisition plans imply likely near-term funding through debt and/or equity.
