FINANCIAL CAPITALAt Thermax, our focussed investments in the business supported our key objectives and helped create a business where purpose and profits are aligned. During the year, we propelled our investment proposition forward with an integrated value chain, a multi-sector approach and our talented team. The collective strength of our balance sheet, judicious risk management and an astute focus on cash conservation led us to build a significant cost advantage and deliver strong returns.

Our Financial Capital strategy is aligned towards building a robust balance sheet, maintaining an effective capital structure and minimising risk exposure. This capital has a significant influence on other capitals and is leveraged adequately to gainfully create value. Cash generated, debt and equity financing are utilised to optimise returns from our operations.
Being set on a journey towards energy transition, we continue to remain focussed on differentiated programmes with innovative outcomes that will create a positive impact on the environment. During the year, we embarked on a number of such initiatives to become a champion in the energy transition space. One such initiative was the setting up of a wholly-owned subsidiary, First Energy Private Limited, through which we endeavour to boost our capabilities in green energy and accelerate our customers’ decarbonisation journey.
During the year, we further expanded our digital capabilities to build an organisation that drives excellence, inclusivity and innovation. We acquired 15.16% stake in ExactSpace, which provides artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) solutions in the energy market. Its proven expertise will help us deliver superior customer support and increase our share of service offerings. Investment in ThermaxNXT, a transformation project for scaling up identified businesses, has witnessed growth. DnA Garage, an initiative under ThermaxNXT, launched the Dealer Management System, Sales Portal and Customer Portal (Thermax Edge).
Ushering in another transformational change, we launched Thermax Finance Services (TFS) to decentralise our finance processes and deliver better business support. Digitalisation of processes is targeted towards inculcating cost efficiency, productivity and scalability, and deriving business benefits. TFS has strengthened our ability to respond to internal and external customers across all our 22 domestic business set-ups.
