During the quarter ending March 31, 2026, ₹38.95 crore was spent on capital expenditure, primarily for upgrading equipment for manufacturing intermittently bonded optical fibre ribbons. Research and Development expenditure, repayment of short-term borrowings, funding working capital requirements, and general corporate purposes were fully utilized as per the placement document.
The report for the second QIP, amounting to ₹550.00 crore, shows that as of March 31, 2026, ₹6.02 crore had been utilized for capital expenditure towards the expansion of Optical Fibre Cable, and ₹7.36 crore for Research and Development initiatives.
