(Page 22) - There is an existing investment of around INR 100 crore into the subsidiary Mars Medical through preferential shares, indicating equity infusion. (Page 21) - The company maintains a low gearing ratio (0.03x at standalone level and 0.15x at group level), indicating a strong balance sheet with limited reliance on debt. (Page 6 and 5) - No explicit mention of plans for new debt or equity fundraising in the near future; current focus appears to be on managing working capital and repaying existing debt. (Page 22) - Capex plans exist but primarily focused on utilizing idle capacity and modest incremental spending rather than large new financing.
