Geographic Revenue Split

Exports contributed 56% to overall revenue in H1 FY26 (growing 15% YoY) and 53% in Q2 FY26 (growing 11% YoY). Domestic sales account for the remaining ~44-47%.

Profitability Margins

Gross Profit Margin expanded to 25.3% in H1 FY26 (+233 bps) and 24.1% in Q2 FY26 (+197 bps). Net Profit Margin (PAT) stood at 5.1% for H1 FY26 (+53 bps) and 4.5% for Q2 FY26.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA Margin improved to 11.1% in H1 FY26 (+70 bps) and 10.4% in Q2 FY26 (+82 bps). Core profitability is supported by stable cotton spreads and cost savings from solar power projects.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Credit rating upgraded to CRISIL A+/Stable from CRISIL A/Positive. Interest coverage ratio improved to 5.76x in FY25 from 4.08x in FY24. Debt/EBITDA stood at 2.17x as of March 31, 2025.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

Raw cotton (primary), synthetic fibers, and blended yarns. Cotton procurement is seasonal, leading to high inventory levels during peak seasons.

Import Sources

Primarily sourced domestically within India, particularly from cotton-growing regions to supply units in Ludhiana and Bathinda, Punjab.

Key Suppliers

Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) is a significant procurement source, which helped reduce short-term debt in FY25 by obviating the need for large private inventory holding.

Capacity Expansion

Current capacity is 3.79 lakh spindles and 20 tonnes per day dyeing capacity. Planned greenfield expansion of INR 1,000 Cr will significantly increase spindle count.

Raw Material Costs

Raw material costs are highly sensitive to cotton price cycles. In FY24, a 19% degrowth in realization occurred due to high cotton availability despite a 32% volume increase.

📈 Strategic Growth

Industry Trends

Shift toward sustainable and contamination-free yarns. The industry is cyclical with frequent demand spirals followed by rapid falls.

Competitive Landscape

Competes in the compact cotton yarn industry against other large Indian and global spinning mills.

Competitive Moat

Moat is built on scale (3.79 lakh spindles), cost leadership through solar power, and a shift toward high-margin value-added products which are harder to commoditize.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to global textile demand and domestic cotton crop yields. Industry has seen 5 demand-supply cycles in the last decade.

Consumer Behavior

Evolving trends in customer preferences toward sustainable and high-quality compact yarns.

Geopolitical Risks

Exposed to international trade dynamics and demand-supply shifts in the global cotton yarn industry.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Investing in solar power projects to reduce carbon footprint and power costs.

Legal Contingencies

A provision of INR 5 Cr was taken in Q2 FY26 for an old insurance loss. No other major pending litigation values disclosed.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Raw material price volatility (cotton) and global demand cyclicality are the primary risks. Forex fluctuations on 56% export revenue also pose a risk.
