What it means

IPO cash cuts debt, funds high-growth lines

Fresh issue proceeds direct ₹55 crore toward prepaying borrowings and ₹18.13 crore toward expanding electrical heating and specialised cable capacity. Debt-to-equity was already a conservative 0.15x, so deleveraging further reduces finance costs.
