orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

The transcript does not specifically mention current or expected order book or pending orders in detail. However, key points related to orders and capex include: - Orders for most equipment (tank manufacturers, pumps) have already been placed with 20-30% advance payments; balance payments are scheduled upon delivery and commissioning. - Capex utilization appears low currently due to payment stagger but will accelerate as materials arrive by June. - No explicit mention of outstanding orders or order book value was provided. - The company expects strong internal PAT generation and has access to a Rs 120 crore overdraft facility if needed, indicating financial flexibility to support order execution. - They have not entered into pre-contracts for R-32 sales yet, preferring to avoid price-detrimental agreements before production starts. - Focus remains on ramping up production and converting capacities into sales rather than discussing pending order book specifics.

fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- The company does not envisage any further dilution or equity fundraising going forward, as current revenue and projected PAT generation should suffice for funding needs. (Page 12) - There is no plan to raise additional debt either; working capital is expected to be managed internally through PAT generation and existing bank overdraft/credit facilities (120 crore OD available but largely unutilized). (Page 7) - Current capex is being funded through existing cash balances and rights issue proceeds; payments are staged based on project progress to optimize cash flow. (Page 7) - Overall, no new fundraising through debt or equity is anticipated beyond the existing measures, given the company's conservative financial management and growth plans. (Pages 7, 12)

capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- Bhilwara HFO plant: Capex of around INR 200 crore (pure plant and machinery) as per government MOU; total capex likely around INR 400 crore.
