INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The domestic demand for Polyester filament Yarn (PFY) for apparel and non-apparel sector is improving due to healthy growth in GDP and newer application of polyster. This is a prime material for man-made textiles. The raw material for polyester yarn is PTA/

MEG which falls under petrochemical industry. Overall, FY 23-24 is expected to be a tough year for the textile industry. Even some Govt owned mills under NTC are still suffering adverse effects of the pandemic. In the era of ever increasing prices of Oil & Petroleum

Product Prices and Now, major focus will be on cost cutting measures, improving productivity, reduction in wastage and efforts on taking quality to next level and deriving efficiency to make products further cost competitive. However, since our factory is not in operation, although we are not in the position to take the benefit of the industrial growth, but we shall restart with major cost cutting measures for sustaining in future.
