Management Discussion & Analysis of Financial Conditions, Results of Operations and State of Company Affairs
General Performance and Outlook

The financial year 2024-25 India''s textile and apparel exports rose by 6.32 per cent to $36.61 billion in FY25, driven by a 10.03 per
cent growth in apparel exports. Textile exports increased 3.61 per cent. March 2025 saw a slight dip in total T&A exports.

Raw cotton imports more than doubled, while man-made and cotton-based product exports saw modest growth. Imports of raw
cotton and waste surged by 103.67 per cent to $1,219 million during April-March 2025, compared to $599 million in the same
period of the previous fiscal. Imports of textile yarn, fabrics, and made-ups rose by 8.69 per cent, rising from $2,278 million to
$2,476 million.

Outlook 2025-26

Trade tension and high levels of policy uncertainty are expected to impact global economic activity. The global growth is projected
to drop to 2.8% in 2025 and 3% in 2026 from 3.3% for both the years.

The real GDP of Indian economy is predicted to grow at 6.5 percent in 2024/25 and 2025/26, supported by robust growth in private
consumption on the back of sustained macroeconomic and financial stability

The textile and fashion industry plays a crucial role in India''s economy, contributing over 10% of total exports and employing more
than 45 million people. With the U.S. recently announcing a new set of tariffs, their potential to impact India''s textile export is
significant. However, with India''s market diversification to Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America dependency on US market
would be greatly reduced. The U.K. and India are finalizing a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), potentially reducing tariffs on apparel
and textile exports.

India''s economy looks on an upward trend. Projections indicate that India will be the world''s third largest economy by 2027,
surpassing US$5 trillion in GDP

The India Home Textile Market size is estimated at USD 9.60 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 15.36 billion by 2029,
growing at a CAGR of 9.84% during the forecast period (2024-2029)

Technical Textiles is another sector that is receiving a huge push from Govt. of India. National Technical Textile Mission (NTTM)
that was launched in 2020 with the objective of increasing penetration level of technical textiles for 5-10% as compared to 30-70%
in the developed market.

India''s technical textiles market, which was valued at US $ 29 billion in FY 2024, is expected to grow significantly because of
tax cuts for textile machinery and a rise in Basic Customs Duty (BCD) on knitted fabrics in Budget 2025. Approximately 15 per
cent of India''s total textile and clothing market is made up of technological textiles, which rank seventh in the world With a “India
2047- Vision and strategic roadmap for technical textiles” the Govt. of India has expressed its ambitious plans and programmes to
develop India as one of the leading hubs of Technical Textiles globally and set up a robust manufacturing base in India.

Management Discussion and Analysis Report

Industry Structure and Development:

The Indian Textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and hand-woven Textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated mills sector at the other end of the spectrum. The decentralized power looms/ hosiery and knitting sector form the largest component of the Textiles sector. The close linkage of the Textile industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of Textiles make the Indian Textiles sector unique in comparison to the industries of other countries. The Indian Textile industry has the capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable to different market segments, both within India and across the world.

India''s Textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back several centuries. It is the third largest producer and exporter in the world after China. Even today, Textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to India''s exports with approximately 11 per cent of total exports. The Textiles industry is also labour intensive and is one of the largest employers.

The future for the Indian Textile industry looks encouraging in the long term, buoyed by both strong domestic consumption as well as export demand. With consumerism and disposable income on the rise, the retail sector has experienced a rapid growth in the past decade with the entry of several international players. The organized apparel segment is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of more than 13 per cent over a 10-year period. Textile and apparel exports from India are estimated to increase US $ 65 billion by 2016-17.

There is optimism in the revival of the global economic outlook in the coming years though this view is not presently supported by economic fundamentals driven by higher economic growth in the advance economies and constrained by moderate growth in emerging markets.

The volume growth in the industry has been quiet modest over the past few years. Indian yarn production is at 7 million tons per annum and growing at around 3% per annum. Textile industry continues to be the second largest employer after agriculture, providing direct employment to 45-50 million people and indirect employment to another 50-60 million people. Labour forms a significant part of the cost of manufacture and hence the performance of this sector is very much dependent on various labour policies.

Opportunities and Threats:

The Textile Policy recently announced by Central Government will strengthen employment in the country. The policy is aimed at creating one crore jobs over the next 3 years, following labour friendly measures such as initiation of fixed term employment and enhancing duty drawback to push Textile and apparel exports. The policy aims to increase exports by $30 billion for which the Government will invest around Rs. 74,000 Crores in the Textiles & Apparels sector over the next three years. The new policy is expected to provide more employment in the garment sector and will give a boost to spinning mills. The recently announced Rs 6,000 crore Textiles package that envisages significant flexibility in labour laws is part of a larger policy for the sector which will boost exports and generate employment.

The Indian Textile industry has various opportunities like technical Textiles, product development and diversification, Foreign Direct Investment and brand recognition. Technical Textiles offer the opportunity to the Indian Textile industry to maintain the present current growth and flourish in near future.

China is the biggest threat to the Indian Textile industry in the global market. India also has a threat from low cost producing countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh which may hinder India''s exports demand in the future. The challenges of availability of Cotton, energy, and manpower at competitive price will continue to be a challenge. In view of this, your Company will continue to put extra efforts in augmenting the labour shortages and conserving the energy which will result into high utilization consequently giving rise to overall contributions.

The average prices for fibre are also likely to stay higher in FY 2017 as compared to the previous year, which will also support the growth in value of Textile exports. While the volume growth is positive, however yarn export volumes may also come under pressure due to the recent spurt in domestic cotton prices.

Segment-wise product-wise performance:

During the period the Company has developed several new products. In particular, compact yarn fine counts, for fine shirting and saree segments were successfully introduced in to the market. Specialty yarns like 100% polymultifold yarn for industrial application, PVA- Hygroyarn,Slub grindle fancy yarn, TFO dyed griddle yarn were introduced for home furnishing segment. The sale Dyed Yarn remains consistent. Export to the Middle East, Europe, South Africa has seen steady demand. Melange yarns for sportswear and undergarment manufacturing industry were introduced successfully and well accepted by the market.

Business outlook:

The Company has been taking all efforts to focus on the production and marketing of those products that have better demand from Domestic and International market.

Your company has initiated and exploring the possibilities to increase Yarn trading on a large scale in coming years.

Risks and Concerns:

Risk management process includes identification of risks, mitigation mechanism, measurement of risks along with key indicators and monitoring them on periodical basis. A Company-wide awareness of risk management policies and practices is being inculcated to minimize the adverse effect of risks on the operating results and the subject of management of risks is being approached in a planned and co-ordinated manner. The Company is accelerating this process by moving up the value chain by well researched and designed products. Company has taken several steps to introduce high performance fibres to move up in the value chain and in-house research in developing these products commercially

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:

The Company has an Internal Control systems developed over years that ensures that all transactions are satisfactorily recorded and reported and all assets are protected against loss from an unauthorized use or otherwise. The internal control systems are supplemented by an internal audit system carried out by independent firms of Chartered Accountants and are periodically reviewed by the management. The findings of such Internal Audits are addressed through suitable corrective measures. The Audit Committee of the Board meets at regular intervals and advises on significant issues raised by, both, the Internal Auditors and the Statutory Auditors. The process of internal control, systems, statutory compliance, risk analysis, information technology and its management are woven together to provide a meaningful support to the management of the business. The system adopted, especially relating to internal control systems are adequate and commensurate with the nature of its business and size of its operations, though continues efforts are being made to strengthening the same.

M/s Kalyaniwalla & Mistry, the statutory auditors of the Company have audited the financial statements and has issued report inter alia on the internal controls relevant to preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, which in their opinion is adequate and commensurate with the size of the business.

Human Resources / Industrial Relations

Material developments in Human Resources / Industrial Relations front:

Therefore, the Company is focusing on nurturing and developing its human assets to upgrade skill and competency level through the process of training and provide them opportunity to take higher responsibilities.

9. Management Discussion and Analysis Report :

9.1 Industry Structure and Development :

The past year has been a challenging year for the Textile Industry with lots of ups and downs. Inspire of the above, the industry has been able to maintain its steady performance during the year under review. The recoveries in US, European and Asian economies is good for the Industry and will boost the exports to these economies. Textile Industry has played a key role in the country's progress over the years and the situation is likely to gain momentum in the times ahead. The Industry continues to hold a dominant position in country's economic structure because of its huge contribution towards employment generation.

No industry is free from normal business risk and concerns. Indian Textile Industry continues to face stiff competition from China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other emerging economies. The relative competitiveness of Industry is dependent upon the raw cotton prices, exchange rates and prevalent interest rates regime. The primary raw material for the manufacturing of yarn is cotton with share of around 60% of total cost. Cotton being an agriculture produce, its supply and quality are subject to forces of nature i.e. Monsoon. Any increase in the prices of raw cotton will make the things difficult for the Textile Industry resulting weak demand and thin margins. Thus availability of raw cotton at the reasonable prices is crucial for the spinning industry.

Raw material costs have fairly stabilized during the year under review and are expected to remain stable. The recovery of the textile industry seems to be round the corner as domestic demand is expected to pick up this year on account of improved economic sentiments. Inspire of the adverse market conditions prevailing in various businesses in which the Company operates, the overall performance of the Company during the year has improved compared to that of the previous year.

9.2 Opportunities and Treats :

There is confidence of a revival in global the economic outlook in the coming years though this view is not presently supported by economic fundamentals driven by higher economic growth in the advance economies and constrained by moderate growth in emerging markets.

A 'Make in India' campaign has been unveiled by the Prime Minister. The Make in India' scheme also puts in place the systems to address in a timely manner queries of potential investors. At present, the Government of India allows 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) under the automatic route in the textile sector, subject to all applicable regulations and laws, which effectively backs the Make in India program for the textile and garment industry. Under the 'Make in India' initiative, investment opportunities for foreign companies and entrepreneurs are available across the entire value chain of synthetics, value-added and specialty fabrics, fabric processing set-ups for all kinds of natural and synthetic textiles, technical textiles, garments, and retail brands.

Changes in China's Textile Policy severely affected the country's export to that country. In spite of the above, we are of the firmed opinion that the future of the Textile Industry is quite promising. We hope that with the recoveries in economies of U.S.A and European Union will propel the growth of the Textile Industry. Ever growing retailing sector and increased purchasing power of both urban and rural people, are still present in the economy and will lead to the growth of the Industry. The shifting of orders from China to India, due to various favorable factors will also help the Industry to increase its global share.

9.3 Segment-wise product-wise performance :

Company has successfully introduced wider product range. In particular, fine counts for Home textile and Shirting segments were successfully introduced and performing good. Specialty yarns like fluorescent yarns, flame retardant yarns were introduced and are doing well. Dyed yarn sale is maintaining consistent position.

Export to Middle east, Europe, South Africa is been initiated and is been going consistently.

Melange yarns for Undergarment and Night ware manufacturing industry were introduced successfully and are consistently doing well.

9.4 Business outlook :

The Company is taking all efforts to improve the quality of production and new products which yields better returns.

Broadening the Product and Customer base is the Theme followed for Business growth. Through exports, Company is also increasing its presence in International market. Company is also seriously looking out for Joint Ventures for Business growth in the areas of home textiles. Company has successfully introduced many new raw materials like coolmax, thermolite, kermel apart from bamboo, modal, lyocel. It has been decided to introduce at least 1 product in every six months.

9.5. Risks and Concerns :

The company has drawn and put in place a comprehensive Risk Management Policy to asses and mitigate various risks. The Company wide awareness of risk management policies and practices is being inculcated to minimize the adverse effect of risks on the operating results and the subject of management of risks are being approached in a planned and co-ordinated manner. The acceptability of cotton as premium product can only enhance value perception of the yarn and knitwear we produce. The Company is accelerating this process by moving up the value chain by well researched and designed products. Company has taken several steps to introduce high performance fibers to move up in the value chain and in-house research in developing these products commercially has been a success.

9.6. Internal Control Systems and their adequacy :

The Company has a benefit of internal control systems developed over years which ensured that all transactions are satisfactorily recorded and reported and all assets are protected against loss from an unauthorized use or otherwise. The internal control systems are supplemented by an internal audit system carried out by independent firms of Chartered Accountants and a periodical review by the management. The Audit Committee of the Board meets at a regular interval and advises on significant issues raised by, both, the Internal Auditors and the Statutory Auditors. The process of internal control and systems, statutory compliance, risk analysis and its management and information technology are woven together to provide a meaningful support to the management process. The system adopted, especially relating to internal control systems are adequate and commensurate with the nature of its business and size of its operations, though continues efforts are being made to strengthening the same.

9.7 Material developments in Human Resources / Industrial Relations front :

In the past few years, as the job market has opened widely, the demand for talents has been continuously rising and continuous learning has therefore become inevitable. As such, the Company continued thrust on Human Asset Management and Development activity. In order to cope with this requirement for talent, apart from locating talents from outside market wherever necessary, the Company also focused on the activity of nurturing and developing its human capital from within, by the process of training and upgrading competence level.

On the Industrial Relations front, a cordial relationship has been maintained with the workmen and their Union and there has not been any loss of man hours in the manufacturing units. Your Company has put in place a series of HRD measures including appraisal of employees, recognition and reward for good work, developing career plans, training etc., In the context of the changing business scenario, professional competence and skills are being nurtured keeping the growth perspective in mind.
