Lakhotia Polyesters (India) Ltd Management Discussions

This report covers the operations and financial performance of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2025 and forms part of the Annual Report.

Overview of the Economy:

The company specializes in lacquered metallised Polyesters film which finds application primarily in the textile and apparel industry. The grade of coated Polyesters film produced is used extensively in the manufacture of metallic yarns.

The process of metalizing Polyesters or polymer films leads to a product that is glossy and shiny in its appearance. The process of metalizing involves the layering or coating of polymers with aluminium. The result is a reflective surface which reduces the vulnerability of the material to sunlight, moisture and air. Polyesters coated films are available in different grades and specifications and find use across a varied number of industries from flexible packaging, shrink labels, cable insulation, and magnetic media to textiles and decorations.

Industry, Structure & Developments:

In the early days metallic yarns were limited to silver and gold variants. However, today every conceivable shade of colour is reproducible. The ability to read market trends and cater to unique shades, differentiates one company from another and determines the demand pull for metallic yarns. While the industry is fairly organized, there exist a large number of players within the metallic yarn segment. There are few companies that specialize solely in catering to the metallic yarn segment, with most players producing a large array of metallised Polyesters films which cater primarily to the needs of the flexible packaging industry.
