Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

No specific mention of any new fundraising through debt or equity in the transcript. Current long-term debt is about INR 183 crores, expected to start falling from FY’25 and FY’26 through internal accruals and cash flow. Finance costs have slightly increased this quarter due to vendor bill discounting but expected to normalize. The company appears focused on reducing debt through internal accruals rather than raising new debt. No discussion or indication about raising equity capital or any new fundraising plans during the call.

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

No new capacity expansion planned currently; recent Environment Clearance (EC) application was for regularization, not capacity expansion. EC application pending with state government; inspection completed and recommendation report expected soon (Page 10). Focus remains on upgrading processes, new product development, and increasing capacity utilization rather than expanding capacity (Page 14). Potential minor process additions might be needed to manufacture tubes for upcoming advanced ultra supercritical (AUSC) power plants (Page 11).

Domestic market demand is expected to remain strong, supported by government infrastructure and energy spending, with lesser dependence on currently slow export

EBITDA margin guidance is cautious; management hopes for around 10%-11% but finds it difficult to provide precise figures due to market unpredictability.

Current order book stands at approximately 6,791 metric tons, valued around INR 303 crores, up from about INR 170 crores at the end of the last quarter.
