Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

The company expects a closing debt figure of around Rs. 300 crores for FY19 (Rajesh Desai, Page 16). Plans to invest about Rs. 60-70 crores in FY19 primarily for vessel replacement and acquisition (Capt. Vivek K Singh, Page 9). Vessel acquisitions and replacements are being approached cautiously due to upcoming regulations on sulphur content (Page 9).

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

The company plans to continue its replacement program of older tonnage, but is proceeding cautiously due to upcoming 2020 regulations on sulfur content and high vessel purchase prices. For FY19, Shreyas Shipping expects a capital investment of around Rs. 60 crores. This includes acquisition of one smaller vessel and one larger vessel, in addition to the SSL Krishna vessel already taken delivery of in Q1 FY19. The company is monitoring market conditions closely to time vessel purchases optimally. Additional tonnage deployment may be required if new tenders, such as those from Container Corporat

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

Shreyas Shipping expects volume growth of around 10% year-on-year despite 20% capacity addition. The company plans to rationalize capacity by chartering out some vessels to better align with demand and improve margins.

Growth is largely driven by increased EXIM feeder volumes and domestic coastal trade, especially on the west coast of India. While market

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

Debt level is expected to close around Rs.300 crores by FY19 end, supporting growth investments. Planned CAPEX of approximately Rs.60-70 crores is aimed at vessel replacements to maintain and enhance operational efficiency. The management e
