- No specific mention of new fundraising plans through debt or equity in the current or near future. - The company has already received total funding from equity and non-convertible debentures (NCDs), including proceeds from the preferential allotment and warrants, with 25% of warrants received in April. - These funds are placed in fixed deposits (FDs), and the company is currently not utilizing its cash credit limit. - Existing interest costs are mainly from long-term loans and optionally convertible debentures (OCDs) with around a two-year tenure, which will remain for the short term. - The company plans CAPEX funded from internal sources rather than new borrowing, with ongoing plant modernization and efficiency improvements being detailed now. - Overall, interest costs are expected to remain limited for a few quarters, increasing only once CAPEX-related borrowing begins. No announcement of fresh fundraising rounds yet; focus is on deploying existing funds and improving operations.

- The company is planning CAPEX for plant modernization and efficiency improvements, with an estimated timeline of 1.5 to 2 years to complete (Page 11). - Around 50% of CAPEX will focus on automation in manufacturing such as automatic raw material handling and packing to reduce labor costs and wastage (Page 10). - Total CAPEX planned is approximately ₹100 to ₹150 crores, with final details expected within 2-2.5 months from the call date (Page 10). - Strategic partnership with Hella has started contributing through direct sales, revenue increase, and technological inputs in marketing, IT, distribution, and retail sales; full impact expected in 3-4 quarters (Page 17). - The company is also expanding R&D significantly as a pillar for future growth (Page 11).

- Shalimar Paints aims for 20-25% year-on-year growth in sales this year, building on the 20-22% growth seen in Q1 FY23. - Capacity utilization is currently low (~45-50%), indicating room for volume expansion as sales grow. - The company plans to increase market penetration by expanding its dealer network, including moving into A and B class dealers. - Product innovation, especially in industrial paints and higher-margin products, is expected to drive future revenue growth. - Strategic partnership with Infra.Market is contributing to sales and technological inputs, with significant results anticipated over the next 3-4 quarters. - Marketing and distribution enhancements, including greater painter and dealer engagement, are planned to support volume growth. - CAPEX for plant modernization and automation is underway, aiming to improve capacity and efficiency in the medium term.

- Company expects to turn EBITDA positive within the current fiscal year (likely Q3 or Q4), driven by easing raw material costs and improved efficiencies. - At Q1 FY23, EBITDA loss was about Rs.1.8 crore (~-1.5%), with a target to achieve positive EBITDA as raw material cost (currently ~73% of revenue) drops towards ~70%. - Revenue growth guidance is strong, targeting over 20% growth compared to the last year's average quarterly revenue (around Rs.90-92 crore), with Q1 FY23 revenue at Rs.110 crore already showing +21% YoY growth. - Interest costs are limited and expected to remain low in the short term, supporting profitability. - Strategic partnership contributions and CAPEX-driven operational efficiencies (plant automation, supply chain modernization, IT upgrade, expanded R&D) are expected to drive margin expansion over 2-3 years. - EBITDA margins may reach parity with industry peers within a couple of years post commercialization of branding and marketing initiatives. - Positive PAT outlook is anticipated once EBITDA turns positive, aided by limited interest expenses.
