REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

KPR reported a good results in the year under review also with the encouraging demand from all segments. The Cotton prices remained stable for most part of the year, yam market was bullish and garment order levels were also comfortable. The garment orders started bouncing back from the vaccum caused by the pandemic. The Industry witnessed a significant shift in demand from formal wear to casual wear. Since KPR is primarily in the casual wear segment the trend continues to be more favorable to us. The consequential thrust in demand for yam, fabric and processing activities have accelerated the drive in Tirupur Knitwear Market. KPRs trendsetter welfare facilities and the dedicated employees participation enhanced the productivity even during the COVID time ensuring KPRs outstanding ability and sustained competitiveness.

WAY FORWARD

Proving its strong fundamentals and leadership, KPR was able to withstand all hurdles during this tough time by delivering good performance. The recently added latest technology vortex machine produces various blends and range of value added viscose yam that creates new wave of old fashion. KPR is largely engaged in manufacturing cotton products, and of course the market is slowly moving into value added manmade fiber also. So as to meet the demand from the Customers we have installed the vortex machine. The establishment of a new advanced technology knitting facility housing the contemporary imported knitting machines would add value to the production facilities. The additional Garment capacity envisaged would also add up to the Revenue. However putting a spoke in the wheel of Nations progress the second wave of the pandemic has started surging and the lock down restrictions are also re-introduced. We have to wait and watch its impact on the economy carefully.

COVID 19 IMPACTS

The entire world was passing through uncertainty that was never seen before due to COVID-19 pandemic. Like, many other sectors of the economy textile industry have been hit hard by closing down its business. During this challenging time, our priority was the well-being of all of us. Our focus was to support the governments public health initiative and instructions regarding social distancing.

In compliance with the statutory lockdown directions, the operations of the Company was suspended for more than a month, and that was from 24.0B.2020. Lockdown was extended by the Tamil Nadu government up to 03.05.2020, effective from 06.05.2020 the operations commenced partially with restricted work force as per the government guidelines. Operations were ramped up gradually with all necessary safety precautions for the employees and KPR remained operational, and continue to serve all stakeholders. Due to COVID, almost all manufacturing companies faced the issue of migrated labor in entire countiy returning all to their hometowns causing severe labor shortage. Whereas in KPR it was different. KPR never faced such an issue at all, even during that challenging time. Thanks to its unique, and best HR practices. The industiy acclaimed HR policy adopted by the management since beginning rewarded KPR during this crisis period. The feel at home facility at KPR encouraged migrated workers to stay back enjoying the continued comfortable accommodation provided by KPR with nutritious food, recreation, education facilities and safety measures. Our executives and employees had successfully repositioned to ensure that our work progresses. In addition, admiring our genuine approach and positive attitude all the customers and stakeholders supported and stood with us during the critical time. We want to thank them all for their dedicated and continued support.

The second wave of the pandemic has started spreading all over the world and the Nation. Though the vaccines are being administered, we have to wait and watch the situation carefully to ascertain its impact on the business.
