31. Management Discussion And Analysis:
The global economy began its modest recovery in FY 2023-2024. While the trend is expected to accelerate in the current year, emerging markets like India faced multiple challenges capital outflows, intense exchange rate pressures and volatile current account movement. A combination of persistent inflation, fiscal imbalances, external sector vulnerabilities and low investments resulted in sluggish domestic demand growth. Fiscal and monetary initiatives taken by the Indian government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) helped stabilize financial market conditions, but the domestic macro-economic environment still remains challenging.
The overall performance of textile industry is badly affected due to lower realization both in export and domestic market. Disturbed power supply and skilled labor shortage in the region has worsened the position. However, underlying risks and vulnerabilities persist due to escalating geopolitical conflicts, inflation, prolonged higher interest rates, volatility in energy and sluggish recovery in China.
Despite these challenges, signs of stable growth, robust performance of the United States and several large emerging market and developing economies, coupled with inflation returning to target levels in advanced economies, indicate a diminished risk for the global economy. Despite headline inflation experiencing a decline from its unprecedented peaks, core inflation has remained persistent and is expected to decline gradually.
The global textile market is estimated at US$ 1,065.6 billion in 2024 and is calculated to increase at a CAGR of 3.7% and reach US$ 1,532.4 billion by 2034. Textile Yarn Market size was valued at USD 13.2 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2024-2030. Textile yarn is a long continuous length of the interlocked fibers, used in the manufacturing of textiles. The global textile yarn market is growing at a significant CAGR owing to an increase in the preference for personnel appearance and home textiles
INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW & OUTLOOK
Amid a challenging global economic landscape and deteriorating geopolitical conditions, India shines as a beacon of optimism, proudly holding its position as the worldâs fifth-largest economy and expected to continue leading as the fastest-growing major economy. Indiaâs GDP growth remained buoyant at 7.6% in FY 2023-24 as against 7% in FY2022-23, supported by robust domestic demand, moderate inflation, a stable interest rate environment, and strong foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, an accelerated pace of economic reforms and increased capital expenditure facilitated construction activities and created employment opportunities across the country. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) commended Indiaâs economic resilience, robust growth, and notable progress in formalisation and digital infrastructure. Moreover, Indiaâs G20 presidency in 2023 has demonstrated its capability to cater to global needs and provided a platform to address global concerns.
Indiaâs top export markets, including the US, UAE, and China, witnessed double-digit growth in exports Despite unfavourable economic conditions in major markets such as the European Union (EU), the US, and West Asian nations, Indian textile exports grew by 9.59 per cent compared to the previous year in May 2024, the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) said in a report.

The textile industry is an ever-growing market, with key competitors being China, the European Union, the United States, and India. China is the worldâs leading producer and exporter of both raw textiles and garments. India is among the top five textile manufacturing country and is responsible for more than 6% of the total textile production, globally. The rapid industrialization in the developed and developing countries and the evolving technology are helping the textile industry to have modern installations which are capable of high-efficient fabric production. Indian Textile Industry India is the worldâs second-largest producer of textiles and garments. It is also the sixth-largest exporter of textiles spanning apparel, home and technical products.
The Textile market is poised to grow, led by boost in demand and the government support in form of attractive schemes such as Production Linked Incentive (PLI), Mega Investment Textile Parks (MITRA) will further drive the way for the US$ 250 billion target. Another step taken by the Ministry of Textiles towards positioning India as a global leader in technical textiles manufacturing is the invitation of Research proposals for Funding for Design, Development and Manufacturing of Machinery, Tools, Equipment, and Testing Instruments under NTTM.
Industry Information:
Indiaâs textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in the Indian economy, dating back to several centuries. The industry is extremely varied, with hand-spun and hand-woven textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, with the capital-intensive sophisticated mills sector on the other end. The decentralised power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector forms the largest component in the textiles sector. The close linkage of textiles industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of textiles makes it unique in comparison
to other industries in the country. Indiaâs textiles industry has a capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable for different market segments, both within India and across the world.
Opportunities and Threats:
The Government has launched various support schemes and policies for the textiles industry to enhance its global competitiveness. These schemes focus on export promotion, infrastructure development, and technology upgradation, among other areas. These initiatives aim to provide necessary support to the companies within the textiles industry, while empowering them to enhance their global competitiveness.
Accelerated reopening of activities have re-opened opportunities for the textile market which were quiet for a long time. Further, China plus one policy by USA and Europe will lead to increase in demand for the Indian Market. With an added advantage of high quality standards, our Company will be forging ahead with its sustainability vision to build potential so as to grab opportunities coming its way.
The current disruptions caused by high fuel costs, port bottlenecks, and inflationary pressures are expected to persist in the near future. These challenges create an opportunity for fashion companies that have local and integrated supply chains to strengthen their position by catering to customer demands in their respective regions of operation.
