“The goal is to run our present capacity at full capacity, which will produce enough cash flow to help power the next phase of expansion,” said Harsh Vardhan Didwania, co-founder and director of EeVe India. We will go to the financial markets if necessary, but for the time being, we are sure that we will be able to achieve this requirement using our internal resources. To improve capacity, we’d need $10-12 million.”
