Fundraise plans
Yes- The company currently has working capital limits of INR 300 Crores (Q1 FY24) and expects to increase this to INR 400 Crores by the end of FY24.
- Debt reduction has been a focus, with gross debt down by INR 48 Crores over 24 months, though gross debt increased by INR 31 Crores this quarter due to new joint ventures and higher CC utilization.
- The company has borrowed from NBFCs (e.g., Prachay Capital) for unsecured loans at higher rates (around 3%-3.5% higher than bank borrowing) to fund joint ventures where bank financing is unavailable.
- On equity/fundraising, talks with merchant bankers for a strategic investor or an IPO/SME listing are ongoing to monetize certain stakes, but no firm deals have been closed as current offers were unsatisfactory.
- The priority is for Vascon to liquidate its 80-85% equity stake in certain projects to realize significant equity value (upwards of INR 200-250 Crores).
- No immediate fundraising finalized; efforts are continuous for suitable offers and funding arrangements.

- Plans include potentially using unsecured loans to fund joint ventures (JV) to enhance the real estate portfolio.
- Vascon prefers partnering with equity investors in real estate projects rather than deploying its own equity or borrowing significantly.
- The company has ongoing and upcoming real estate projects, with several launches expected, and completion targets indicating steady revenue from FY25 onward.
- No large-scale land acquisitions are planned currently; any future acquisitions would be with capital partners to share risk and capital allocation.
