    Why it matters

    The fundraise is intended for various projects and is crucial for future growth and capital allocation.

    We've already taken Board's approval in the last Board meeting for fundraise for INR300 crores for our various projects. But of course, in the current scenario, we were not able to do that. So we have now we've just finished our Q4, and we are into this call. So we have already an approval which we have got. Once we finish the formalities of closure of this financial year, then we will sit and we will figure out how we are going to go about it. And obviously, everybody will come to know.

    Strategic Expansion into New Verticals

    The company has strategically diversified into new high-growth verticals. This includes a foray into wastewater management and affluent treatment, leveraging prior experience and a newly hired 20-member technical team. Technical facility management has been carved out as an independent vertical due to market demand. Additionally, Krystal launched Taskmaster, a 100% subsidiary focusing on B2C deep cleaning and residential services, initially in Mumbai with plans to expand to other metros and luxury villa spaces.

    03

    Significant Contract Wins and Customer Acquisition

    Krystal secured several noteworthy contracts in Q4 FY25, including a ₹349 crores facility management contract from Tamil Nadu Medical Services, a security services contract for SVC Cooperative Bank, and a ₹84 crores sanitization order from PGIMER.

This diversified service offering and nationwide presence allow Krystal to cater to almost all major industries, including healthcare, education, city infrastructure, and manufacturing, with top three customers having been with the company for over a decade.

    05

    Innovation and Bio-Enzyme Technology

    The company is actively pursuing innovation, highlighted by its participation with the Vishnu Prasad Research Centre to commercialize a patented bio-enzyme technology for solid waste management. This eco-friendly service is expected to be high-margin and offers immense potential, as it can be scaled across municipalities nationwide. Discussions are ongoing with various municipal corporations, including Thane, for its approval and implementation.

    06

    Growth Outlook and Capital Plans

    Management expressed confidence in maintaining a growth trajectory of 20-25% for the coming years, citing a healthy pipeline and strong prospects.
