fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- The company currently has debt levels of approximately Rs. 230-240 crore in term loans and Rs. 50-60 crore in working capital, totaling around Rs. 300 crore. - New nominee directors from EXIM Bank have joined the board, with their tenure expected to correspond with the loan tenure. - This involvement is viewed positively as it improves understanding and transparency, potentially aiding future funding. - While there is no explicit mention of immediate plans for fresh equity or debt fundraising, the company is open to purchasing vessels to replace those chartered out, implying possible future capital needs. - The company emphasizes maintaining operational flexibility and improving cash flow through chartering strategies rather than immediate fresh fundraising. - Overall, any future fundraising would likely be aligned with operational requirements and market conditions, with a positive outlook due to strengthened lender relationships.

capex

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

- No immediate impact on CAPEX due to new IMO low Sulphur fuel regulations; vessels can use low Sulphur fuel without engine changes, and the company has decided against installing scrubbers. (Page 11) - Potential for fresh vessel purchases planned to replace vessels chartered out, ensuring capacity for own operations. (Page 8) - Strategy focuses on optimizing utilization by chartering in vessels for right tonnage and chartering out excess tonnage rather than heavy capital additions. (Page 4, 8) - Monitoring government initiatives like Sagar Mala and inland waterways for future business opportunities but will enter only when infrastructure and viability improve. (Pages 11-12, 16) - No explicit near-term large strategic capital investments announced; emphasis is currently on operational efficiency and market-driven capacity management.

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

- Domestic containerized trade volume increased by 16% YoY with a market share of 52%; overall TEU volume up 6% QoQ. - Coastal volume outlook: expected growth of 20-25% YoY. - Transshipment volume on Indian coast expected to grow around 10-15% YoY. - Increase in freight rates effective December; both price increases and bunker fuel cost advantage will positively impact revenue. - Volume growth driven by both seasonal factors (e.g., cotton) and underlying economic growth. - Capacity increased by optimizing vessel utilization and reducing voyage duration to enable more voyages per month, leading to additional cargo handling (~25,000 tons monthly). - Strategy includes chartering excess vessels out while chartering in vessels to maintain operations and meet demand growth. - Management indicates increasing utilization levels (main leg 94%, reverse leg 73%) and expects further volume growth ahead.
