The Board of Directors of your Company has decided not to transfer any amount for the year
under review to the Reserves.
During the year under review, the Directors have recommended payment of 0.01% on Non¬
Cumulative Non-convertible Redeemable Preference Shares of the face value of Rs. 100 (Rupees
one hundred only) each as dividend for the financial year 2023-24, for approval of shareholders

Directors have not recommended any dividend for equity shares of the Company.
* In ICRAâs recently published research note on the domestic cotton spinning industry , the
rating agency expects demand for the industry to improve by close to 12-14% in volume terms in
FY2024 on a yearly basis, with yarn exports likely to increase by a sharp 85% to 90%, on the
back of a shift in sourcing preference away from China, and the expectations of demand
improving for the spring/summer season in the US and the EU regions that will drive domestic
demand from apparel and home textile manufacturers. However, a sharp moderation in cotton
prices, leading to lower yarn realisations, is likely to translate to a 9-10% year-on-year (YoY)
decline in revenues to ~Rs. 33,465 crore in FY2024.
Commenting on this, Mr. Jayanta Roy, Senior Vice President & Group Head, Corporate Sector
Ratings, ICRA, said: âDespite the increase in cotton yarn volumes, ICRA expects the operating
income of Indian cotton spinning companies to decline by 9-10% and operating margins to
shrink by 200-240 bps in FY2024 amid a significant drop in realisation and lower gross
contribution levels. Nevertheless, in-house power generation capacities recently added by select
players are likely to alleviate margin pressures in the medium termâ.

The Company continues to meet the growing energy demand, while working towards
minimizing the environmental footprint of its ongoing operations, as well as future projects. The
Company is continually exploring new ways to make its operations more efficient by putting
technology to use for direct energy savings and increasing renewable energy sources.
Lighting: Due to its nature of operations, the share of lighting in electricity use is relatively
high. It is important to re- examine whether the light source is utilized in the most efficient
way and take electricity saving measures.
Electric motor: The textile industry uses a vast number of relatively small electric motors.
While a conventional machine was driven by a single motor with the generated mechanical
power transmitted to various parts of the machine in a collective manner, many modern
machines utilize multiple motors with a control board controlling the movement of each
motor, which is directly coupled to a machine part to drive it independently from others.
Electric heating: In the textile industry, electric heating has largely been replaced by other
methods (steam, gas heating, or direct or indirect fired heating) for some time in order to
achieve cost reductions
The different alternative renewable sources of energy are biomass, tidal energy, geothermal
energy, solar energy and wind energy. The technology is easy and straightforward to control,
with nearly very little maintenance cost. There will not be any drawback of air pollution.
During the year under review, Company has not incurred any capital expenditure on energy
conservation equipment.
The Company is taking necessary steps to replace certain existing equipmentâs by installing
new equipments having better technology. In addition to this, the company has installed plant
for re-processing for its waste material.
The benefits of technology upgraded equipments will be visible in future working. Further,
the Company has imported machinery spare parts to maintain the products quality and life of
machine.

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of Cotton Yarn used by denim industry. The raw
material prices i.e. Cotton is highly fluctuating whereas demand of denim yarn has reduced
substantially due to lower demand in export market. In addition to this, the credit period
demanded by buyers is more than 90-120 days while raw material is only available on immediate
payment basis. This requires large working capital which is not available with the Company and
shortage of finance resulted in to big losses on working of plant and also reduction in number of
working days. In this situation, it is very difficult to compete with the large units since our
Company is MSME Unit and looking to this situation we have decided to close the unit. The
workers were also getting reduced amount of wages and therefore the workers have resigned
from time to time and Company has settled all dues of workers including gratuity and
retrenchment compensation as and when they have resigned.
