Industry Structure & Development

Textile Business: The textile industry in India traditionally, after agriculture, is the only industry that has generated huge employment for both skilled and unskilled labour in textiles. Even today, textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to Indias exports with approximately 14 per cent of total exports. India is the second largest exporter after China of textiles and apparel products having estimated 4-5% share in the global trade. However, the market pickup to improve export performance is still to happen. Our focus remains on value added products and new product development to cater to the niche segment of the market.

Opportunities and Threats

Textile Business: Positive steps taken by the Central Government for the textile industry, from allocation of funds to give extra rebate to exporters (mainly on made-ups) and various other benefits, are expected to improve investment in this sector and provide more business opportunities in the near future. With increasing capacities of man-made fibres as compared to cotton, the preferred shift of the consumer to use products of man-made fibres i.e. viscose, polyester, polyamide, acrylic, etc. and its blends, is expected.

We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in our business include client relationships reputation, the abilities of employess, market focus and the liquidity on the Balance Sheet.

Service Offering Business: We face competition from various other financial intermediaries operating in this segment. Further, we also face competition from sales teams of Banks and FIs who could approach clients directly.

We believe that relations are of key importance and hence our focus on delegating debt syndication services to small and Medium Enterprises that will enable us to generate future revenue and also open up possibilities for new business through cross references. This will enhance our ability to effectively compete with our competitors and create niche for us in the market.

Risk and Concerns

Textile Business: Risk Management forms an integral part of your Companys operations. Your Company continues to focus on a system based approach to business risk management. It broadly involves identification & potential risks, their analysis and impact as also risk mitigation initiatives to address the same. The Board of Director of the Company oversees the risk management Process.

Outlook

The outlook for industry and the Company in the near term can be viewed with cautious optimism. The Indian government has come up with a number of export promotion policies for the textiles sector.

The trend in India is also shifting towards use of man-made fibre products. In order to satisfy the taste of customers in future, we have developed innovative products with man-made fibre and its blends which have been appreciated and approved by the customers. We are also initiating the launch of own brand for home textile products in USA in time to come. With the above and focus on cost optimization, we expect the outlook to be satisfactory.

The future for the Indian textile industry looks promising, 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 like Marks & Spencer, Guess and Next into the Indian market.
