Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

No new term loans have been availed for expansion projects like Udumalpet boards or Rae Bareli expansion (approx. ₹150 Crores capex). The increase in gross debt (~₹50 Crores) is mainly for working capital and short-term loans related to inventory, not new project funding. Total debt-to-equity ratio stands at a healthy 0.28, indicating controlled leverage. There was no mention of plans for upcoming fundraising through debt or equity. The company appears to be managing growth through internal accruals and working capital borrowing rather than fresh long-term debt or equity issuance at this time.
