- There is no mention of any current or planned new fundraising through debt or equity. - The company is focusing on funding its capex internally through internal accruals and existing cash balances. - The average interest rate on existing debt is around 9%, and efforts are ongoing to optimize it. - Debt reduction is underway but not accelerated, as cash surplus is being allocated primarily to fund project capex. - Total debt as of June 30, 2023, stands at INR137 million with a very healthy debt-to-equity ratio of 0.05x. - Capex for the full year is projected at INR900 million (including INR600 million project capex), to be funded internally without additional external financing.

- Vimta Labs is undertaking a significant capex plan focused on Life Sciences facility, expected to be completed by end of 2023, aimed at enhancing pharma division capacity which is currently constrained. - Estimated capex for FY 2024 is around INR 90 crores, including approximately INR 60 crores for building construction on existing land and INR 30 crores for equipment replacement, upgradation, and new technology investments. - Capex is phased, with additional space almost double the current facility, to be available from Q4 2023; equipment and validation to follow incrementally. - New business verticals like EMI/EMC testing are being developed with INR 40 crores investment, expected to take a few years to mature. - No plans to set up additional food labs in the short term. - Capex-to-sales ratio typically ranges from 1 to 1.1 times; funding largely from internal accruals and existing cash reserves. - Strategic approach involves investing ahead of market demand to establish leadership before competitors enter.
