OPEROTIOnS

The Operations for the current financial year 2023-24 on a turnover of T 786 crores resulted in a profit before tax of f 6.2 crores and a net profit of f 3 crores. The production of both yarn and fabric tuere maintained at the last year''s level. However, the sales realization in both the yarn and denim divisions saw a significant drop. The volumes have also remained stagnant with the turnover registering a 9% drop. The softening of the global commodity prices and raw material prices led to a lower sales realization.

DIVIDCnD

your Company proposes to further modernize its machinery and production processes to keep pace with the evolving global trends in the industry. The Board, with a view to conserve resources has not recommended any dividend for the year under review..

CAPITAL £XP£nDITUR£

During the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of ? 3577.68 lakhs.

EXPORTS

International markets posed very tough challenges during the year impacted by economic and geopolitical uncertainties. The Company could maintain its current level of exports at ? 171 crores in the face of declining performance by the industry as a whole. The Company registered a small increase in the volume of exports by taking many proactive initiatives on sustainable practices leading to several strategic tie-ups with, CleanKore {for laser friendly dyeing}, Regenagri Cotton {for traceability & soil health}, and Indigo good {for reducing fresh water intake). These were key to building a strong and positive image with major international brands like Lee, UUrangier, UJal-mart, fimazon, Levis, etc. The Company fosters a

strong relationship with its customers. The Company offers a fairly diversified range of denim fabrics including high quality ring yarns, different fibres, special and functional finishes, different weaves, etc., with recycled cotton and poly, organic cotton & BCI cotton.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The present positive environment in the country through the Government initiatives like Pm mitra Parks Scheme aims to develop world-class infrastructure and integrated textile value chains. The Company''s commitment to the sustainability and Government initiatives has received its due recognition in the market place both in domestic and international markets and in this scenario the company is confident of registering significant growth in the future.

Operations

During the year under review, we recorded a strong revenue from operation of RS.764 Crores, despite various challenges faced by us. We experienced a growth of 7.38% and 10% in the revenue of spinning business segment and garment segment respectively. During the year, we experienced an increase in trade receivables by 35.44% which further helped us to increase our current assets by 17.26%. A rise in our total expenditure led to a decrease in our PAT to RS.515.05 lakhs.

The denim industry is currently plagued by excess capacity adversely affecting the volumes and margins. The power division continued to be affected by the problem of high cross subsidy rates in Maharashtra. Realisations in yarn division have been generally stagnant, while in the case of denim fabric, sales were severely impacted in the domestic market. In export, sales volumes have improved, but the realization has been much lower on account of intense competition. In addition, the raw material rates have been higher. As a result of all these adverse factors, the operations have been badly affected, limiting the net profit after tax to RS.515 lakhs.

Dividend

In view of the inadequate profits, the Board regrets its inability to recommend a dividend for the year 2017-18.

Capital Expenditure

During the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of RS.9.96 Crores.

Exports

The exports at RS.159 Crores represents a small increase over that of previous year, though the volume growth has been 19%. The exports have been impacted by weak global markets coupled with 4% reduction in the duty draw back and strengthening of rupee in the previous year, eroding margins considerably. The industry’s export competitiveness has also been affected by blockage in GST refunds and slow disbursements in rebates on State levies. As the domestic market has been sluggish, there has been intense competition in export market resulting in eroded margins. However, the Company has succeeded in retaining old customers while increasing its share of business with leading brands like Wrangler, Walmart, etc. The Company also continues its focus on new product development and better delivery in terms of quality and innovation in fabric design.

Future Outlook

The denim industry has weathered a rough patch battling the effects of demonetization quickly followed by disruption on account of introduction of GST. It has now to contend with cheaper imports of fabrics & garments from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The export competitiveness continues to be a concern. The company is exploring options with new garment factories emerging in Africa and Vietnam regions. The Company is confident of its ability to face the evolving scenario with renewed dedication to improvements in quality and service for customer satisfaction.

The net sales for the year ended 31st March, 2016 stood at RS,760 Crores registering a growth of 8% over the previous year. However, the net profit after tax surged by more than 146% as compared to previous year. This was primarily due to two reasons: 1) Higher per unit realizations and 2) Enhanced operational efficiencies.

During the year the Company''s new spinning unit at Amravati got commercialized towards end of the first half. The production of value-added fancy yarns from this unit is already under captive consumption for production of denim fabric at our Denim division. Our production of denim fabric also increased by 11%. The operations of the power division are also satisfactory, with the Amravati unit also drawing power from the Company''s captive power plant.

While our fabric and garment divisions posted higher realizations, the realization from the yarn division has been subdued (both in domestic and export markets) by around 9%. The sales of Denim division increased by 11% and our per meter Denim fabric realization improved to H153.06 from H142.34 achieved in the previous year. Our focus on expanding the quantum of exports had started yielding results as our fabric exports nearly doubled from RS,64 crs. to RS,125 crs in 2015-16. The garment realization in both domestic and exports market have been higher increasing by around 14%. Our external (third party) power sales have also improved despite the rate per unit being lower.

On the input costs side, the raw material prices have been favorable except in Viscose Staple Fibre. Cotton prices have been cheaper by around 9%, while coal was available at base price, but at slightly better prices than last year.

Dividend

The Directors are pleased to recommend a Dividend of 18% i.e. H1.80 per share (previous year H1.20 per share).

Capital Expenditure

During the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of RS,108.28 Crores.

Exports

Exports registered a healthy growth of 68% to RS,139 Crores up from RS,83 Crores in previous year. Denim Exports have shown handsome gains in volume terms.

Continuing our focus on the export markets, we efficiently retained our existing business & at the same time diligently worked towards entering new markets and acquiring new customers.

This year, we have successfully ventured into new markets like Iran,

China, Hong Kong, etc. and have also managed to get business from new key customers like One Jeans, Next, Sainsbury and Matalan.

For us, product development & innovation has been a key driver to boost export business. We have increased the strength of our product development team and brought in experienced as well as new talented people. This product development team is now led by an Italian Designer. We have introduced host of new fabrics, finishes & concepts in this year. Some of the new products developed are prints, recycle yarn, peach finishes, water repellent finishes, fleece denim etc. We have launched a complete range of Invista dual fx & Lycra beauty fabrics, which has been well accepted by our customers.

In order to reach out to different customers, we have been showcasing our collections at various international exhibitions and trade fairs likeKingpins Show (New York, USA), ColombiaTex, Colombia, Iran Tex (Tehran, Iran) and Denim and Jeans show Bangladesh, Dhaka.

Future Outlook

As per market reports and current trends, denim industry is expected to grow at a very healthy pace in the near future. Understanding the core competencies that the Company possesses, it has plans to expand its capacities in denim and garment facilities in the immediate future.

Operations

The net sales for the year ended 31st March, 2015 at Rs. 705 Crores is nearly same as that in the last year. However, the profit before tax at Rs. 18.31 Crores shows a small increase of 8% over that of the last year, while net profit after tax increased by 3.9%.

The operations of our Denim division at Ramtek were affected for nearly two months on account of strike by the workers. This resulted in a loss of sales of and resultant profits. Agreements on wages have since been entered into with the workers and the denim division resumed normal operations from 2nd week of March, 2015. The overall turnover of the Company and the profit would have been significantly higher but for this strike.

Production in Spinning, Denim and Garment Divisions matched last year levels. During the year, the Polyster Yarn segment's performance was subdued on account of fall in international crude prices. Garments Division, however, did better.

The profitability of power plant was adversely affected for some months by the high cross subsidy charged by MSDCL for permitting open access to third party sales which resulted in unworkable rates for such sales. Coal at base price was available only from the second half of the year.. As a result during the year the profitability remained subdued from power plant. However, now the situation has improved significantly both in terms of availability of coal linkage at the base price and also the improved open access for third party sales. There will be further improvement with the commissioning of Amravati Unit for which the power will be supplied captively by the Company's own power plant at Ramtek.

Dividend

The Directors are pleased to recommend a Dividend of 12% i.e. Rs. 1.20 per share (previous year Rs. 1.20 per share), keeping in mind, the heavy repayments during the year 2015 - 16 and also the need to conserve resources for the ongoing expansions.

Capital Expenditure

During the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of Rs. 24.83 Crores.

Exports

The Exports at Rs. 82.94 crores is marginally higher than Rs. 80.64 Crores last year.

The international textile markets continue to be under stress. The major retail markets like USA & Europe are still reeling under the effects of recession. Fortunately, the cotton & oil prices have remained steady & this was a big relief to the textile industry.

Your Company could weather these international market conditions by a two pronged strategy of consolidation of the existing business & widening the customer base by upgrading the product mix.

The Company increased its exposure to key clients - Wrangler, Lee, JC Penney, UFO etc., in US & Canada markets.

In the Company's endeavour to upgrade the product mix, it has its own designer based in Italy handling the product development activity. The Company has introduced an array of unique shades & interesting performance oriented new fabrics like, Cool Max, Dual Core, Bamboo, Tencel Rayon Viscose etc; which has been well received by the markets. In addition our new dobby design has been a great success with the international customers.

Last year, we also ventured into new markets like, Korea, South Africa (Madagascar, Durban, Mauritius, and Lesotho) South America (Peru, Colombia, and Chile), and Turkey etc.

As part of these exercises, we have participated in important exhibitions like, Munich Fair in Germany, Bangladesh EXPO & Colombia Tex. This has given us the required exposures across the globe.

Due to the subdued market conditions & fall in cotton prices, there was an enormous pressure to reduce the prices. But due to the above strategies, we were able to balance our prices & volumes at reasonably good level.

New Spinning Division - Amravati

The erection work on the new Spinning Unit is progressing well and is expected to be completed by July/August, 2015. The Commercial production is expected to be commenced from 1st October, 2015.

Future Outlook

The Company's efforts in development of new products and strengthening ties with high end buyers who have added the Company as a preferred supplier have started yielding results.

The company is excited with its new state of the art spinning plant of 26016 spindles of Rs. 131 crores coming up at Amravati. The new plant is equipped with latest technology which will help company achieve backward integration for its new range of denim fabrics and will also result in significant cost savings by utilisation of the captive power.

The Company has further plans to modernise its operations in Amanagallu and also the Denim Plant at Ramtek. With garment production enhanced to 5000 garments per day and now expected to increase to 16000 garments per day in the near future, the coming years look very good for the Company.

OPERATIONS

The net sales for the year at Rs.705.44 crore shows a modest increase of 5.5% over the previous year. The profit before tax at Rs.42.44 crore has registered an increase of 11.36% over the previous year. The production in spinning and denim divisions has shown marginal increase over the previous year. The average yarn realisation in the domestic market at

Rs.153.22 per kg is marginally higher at 7%, while PV yarn has shown a higher increase of 10%. In the denim division both the domestic and the export realization have been marginally lower compared to the previous year. While the domestic market has seen a decent increase of 18% in volume, exports have been significantly lower by about 33%.

The Cotton rates have been lower in the year while PSF and VSF have been more or less steady in the spinning division. In the denim division the cotton has been cheaper by around 15%. The 25 MW Captive Power Plant has been commissioned and the denim division is drawing power from the Power Plant and the Company has entered into an agreement with MSEdCl for supply of power for three months till July 2013. The cost of power in the spinning division continues to be high on account of purchase from the 3rd parties and the production has also been affected due to power cuts. The net profit after tax at Rs.30.36 crore would have been much higher but for the high cost and also shortage of power in a.P.

DIVIDEND

The directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 20% i.e. Rs.2.00 per share (previous year Rs.2.50 per share). The directors'' have, keeping in mind, the heavy repayments during the year 2013 – 14 and also the need to conserve resources for future expansion lined up by the Company recommended the dividend of Rs.2.00 per share.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

during the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of Rs.45.91 crore.

POWER PLANT

The Company has at present entered into an agreement for three months for supply of power to MSEdCl. The current year''s operations of the power plant has naturally resulted in some additional cost which is expected to be streamlined shortly. With the conclusion of the agreements for regular supply of power, and utilizing the corridor for supplying the Captive Power to amanagallu unit and commencement of coal supplies from Western Coal Fields, the future for the power plant is expected to be quite bright.

EXPORTS

The current year''s exports at Rs.81.80 crore is lower than the previous year on account of the economic slow down in European and american markets.

MERGER

The Company proposes to merge the Subsidiary company Suryakiran International limited with itself to effect a complete forward integration of denim into the garmenting facility and to reap several administrative advantages like simpler reporting, simplified compliance requirements etc. The Company is in the process of taking the necessary steps in this direction.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The Textile Industry has been adversely affected by the serious economic slow down in the global markets. The industry is now on a gradual recovery phase. The uncertainity in the demand for garments still continues while there is excess supply in the denim segment. The Company has not been however very seriously affected as it is operating in the high end segment. The Company hopes to significantly increase its exports and brand business with some strong and aggressive products and also add new markets to increase volumes.

Operations

The gross revenue of the Company at Rs. 678.43 crores for the year ended 31st March 2012 has registered an increase of 10.73% over the previous year. However, the profit after tax (PAT) at Rs. 28.31 crores shows a decline of around 18.70%. There is overall increase in production with the yarn production showing a growth of around 15% though denim has shown a marginal decline of 2%. The yarn production would have been higher but for the frequent power cuts and shutdowns in this spinning division at Amanagallu. The production in denim is slightly low on account of the loss of production time during installation of new looms. The profit before finance costs, depreciation, amortisation & tax at Rs. 92.48 crores is down by 4.72% compared with the previous year. The profits are lower mainly on account of reduced margins due to the increased raw material prices. The cost of cotton in the spinning division has been higher by around 23% and in denim division by around 19%. The cost of PSF has also been high at around 16%. The year has also seen a highly volatile situation in cotton prices inflicting severe losses on the industry. The sales realisation has however been marginally higher at around 4% in the spinning division and the export realisation of yarn has in fact been lower due to restrictions in yarn exports during part of the year. The sales realisation in denim has been better than last year, although during the year itself the average realisation declined towards the end of the year. In denim exports, though the average realisation is higher, volume declined steeply on account of intense competition from other countries. The power cost was higher during the year together with power cuts in the spinning division leading to higher cost of production. The industry was also badly affected by the steep increases in the cost of finance during the year.

However, you will be pleased to know that your Company's performance is better than the industry average.

Dividend

The Directors are pleased to recommend a dividend of 25% (Rs.2.50 per share) on the equity share capital of the Company. (Previous year Rs.2.50, including interim dividend Rs.1 per share).

Capital expenditure

During the year under review the Company incurred capital expenditure of Rs.116.57 crores.

Exports

The exports during the year was Rs.111.80 crores, declining by 22% from the previous year. The export of yarn registered an increase of 23% though denim exports declined by around 15%. The exports scenario was affected by a variety of factors like recession in the foreign markets, the Eurozone crisis, the intervention by the government in imposing restrictions on yarn export, intense competition from other countries, and a beneficial impact due the weakening of the rupee. However, the Company forayed into Latin American markets and began selling fashion denims thus paving the way for bigger business in the future. New brands were added to the Company's portfolio in the American markets, while strengthening relations with the existing ones. The Company is confident of registering a handsome increase both in volume and value terms during the current year on account of the new product development and its presence in the high-end denim market. Also, the Company engaged reputed Italian designers to enhance its high fashion collection.

Further issue of Capital

The Company issued 11,60,000 equity shares at a price of Rs.135 per share to the promoters by way of preferential allotment of the shares pursuant to the approvals granted by the Company in the General Meeting. The funds received against the issue of these shares of Rs.15.66 crores were utilised to set up a 25 MW captive power plant in the denim division at Ramtek.

During the year the Company has redeemed 2,71,600 Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares issued to IFCI.

Future outlook

The government is taking various steps to stabilise the industry including measures to increase the export of textile and clothing as India's share of exports to the world markets is far behind that of the other countries.

The Company is confident of doing well despite the unfavourable industry scenario, in view of the brightening situation in the denim market and development of new products in the high-end segment of the market. The Company is planning to set up a 30,000 spindle unit in Ramtek at a cost of Rs. 100 crores to further improve the profitability of the denim unit and also avail of the capital incentives and interest subsidies in addition to TUFs benefit in Maharashtra. The unit is expected to be commissioned during the current year. The Company's 25 MW captive power plant in Ramtek is nearing completion and is expected to be commissioned soon.
