1. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

India?s GDP has reached $3.75 trillion in 2023. The textile industry continues to contribute immensely to the exchequer – 4% to the global trade in textiles and apparel, 2% to the GDP (approx. $70 billion), and constitutes 7% of industry output in terms of value. In Merchandise exports have registered highest ever annual exports of USD 447.46 billion with 6.03% growth during FY 2022-23 surpassing the previous year (FY 2021-22) record exports of USD 422.00 billion. The production of textiles as measured by the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) for textile has seen a consistent decline since March 2022. The index value, which was 118.5 in March 2022, has fallen to 102.3 in October 2022. On a cumulative basis from April to October, 2022, the index value is lower than the corresponding period in the last year.

The financial year 2022-23 opened with a firm belief that the pandemic was rapidly on the wane and that India was poised to grow at a fast pace and quickly ascend to the pre-pandemic growth path. The economy was expected to grow at 6.5 to 7% for FY23 despite pandemic recovery and the Russia-Ukraine war. India?s economic growth in FY23 has been principally led by private consumption and capital formation.

Company is in the business of manufacturing of Polyester, polyester-viscose Blended Yarns and other Textiles & Medical Textiles Products at Aliabad, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, in the state of Telangana catering to both domestic and the export markets.

The historical high demand for Cotton resulted in spiraling its prices both the domestic and international markets. However the consequential increase in yarn prices was not commensurate with the increase in price of cotton thereby impacting the margin in yarn segment.

2. INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Empowered with the abundant availabilities of Cotton, India also has a large pool of manpower which is advantageous since textile and apparel is a labour-intensive sector. The Indian Textile and apparel manufacturing is second largest in the world that spans the entire value chain from fibre to finished goods. All these factors promoted India as one of the leading manufactures and a sourcing hub. The enthusiasm in the textile industry on account of the latest FTAs is expected to move beyond enhanced market access and trade.

The Indian textile and apparel market size reached US$ 172.3 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 387.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 14.59% during 2023-2028. India has a 4% share of the global trade in textiles and apparel. India is the world?s largest producer of cotton. Estimated production stood at 362.18 lakh bales during cotton season 2021-22. Domestic consumption for the 2021-22 cotton season is estimated to be at 338 lakh bales. Cotton production in India is projected to reach 7.2 million tonnes (~43 million bales of 170 kg each) by 2030, driven by increasing demand from consumers. In FY23, exports of readymade garments (RMG) cotton including accessories stood at US$ 7.68 billion till January 2023. It is expected to surpass US$ 30 billion by 2027, with an estimated 4.6-4.9% share globally. India?s textiles industry has around 4.5 crore employed workers including 35.22 lakh handloom workers across the country. In December 2021, the government approved a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for textiles. The scheme is expected to promote production of man-made fabric (MMF) apparel, MMF fabrics and products of technical textiles with an aim to increase the global presence of India in these products. The government announced extension of the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) scheme for apparel and madeups for three years. The Government aims to encourage private investments through investments under Integrated Textile Parks Scheme and the Technology Upgradation Fund. The Indian textile industry is the second largest employer in the country after the agricultural sector, in terms of employment creation, offering direct and indirect employment to around 100 million people.

3. OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS Opportunities:

• China plus one policy, Economic collapse /volatility in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan has played out in favour of India as the world has started looking at India as reliable partner for their requirement.

• Rising demand for low cost, sustainable and eco-friendly products. This presents an opportunity for textile manufacturers to develop new products that are made from renewable materials and produced using sustainable manufacturing processes. Cost can be reduced by blending with cheaper man-made fibre.

• Emergence of new Markets: FTA with Australia, Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with UAE and expected favourable trade agreements with UK / Europe present an opportunity for textile manufacturers to expand into new markets and diversify their customer base.

Threats:

• The biggest threat to cotton products is competition from other low-cost man-made fibres. Consumers are shifting their focus to low-cost products which has led to intensecompetition and pricing pressure in the global textile industry.

• There is a high cost to comply with environmental, social and labour regulations which can be costly and time - consuming.

• Further the textile industry is highly sensitive to global economic conditions and can be significantly impacted by global demand and pricing.

4. RISKS AND CONCERNS:

The Company has identified key risks such as Market risks, Regulatory risks, Human resource risks, Commodity price risks. Key Risks include fluctuation in raw materials prices, increased global and local competition, sales channel disruption. Retaining the existing talent pool and attracting new talent. Regulatory Risks include changes in taxation regime, government policies with respect to textiles, pollution control, Industrial Relation issues & regulatory compliances.

Cotton/power and fuel costs are of concern. Our primary raw material is cotton, which we source from the domestic market. Cotton is an agricultural product and its supply and quality are subject to forces of nature. Any material shortage or interruption in the domestic supply or deterioration in the quality of cotton due to natural causes or other factors could result in increased production costs. There is propagation in cotton prices which cannot be absorbed in finished goods prices. Preference is shifting from Cotton fibres to manmade fibres i.e. synthetic, polyester etc. which are available at lower prices. This is putting pressure on margin. Power and Fuel are also major manufacturing costs while producing textiles. Any increase in these costs has a negative impact on the profits of the company.

5. OUT LOOK:

However, the overall Indian economy is relatively strong and is outperforming major economies; the textile sector is a notable exception. Exports which constituted 22% of industry have fallen significantly. Domestic market is flooded with cheap imported garments that have disrupted the local manufacturers.

India?s recovery from the pandemic was relatively quick, and growth in the upcoming year will be supported by solid domestic demand and a pickup in capital investment. In 2022, the overall size of the home textiles & furnishing industry, including the unorganized sector, was about $18-19 billion, of which $8.2 billion was exported and remaining $10 billion was domestic consumption. Even though India?s? outlook is positive for the upcoming financial year, the global outlook, especially the advanced economy are weighed down on account of a combination of a unique set of challenges expected to impart a few downside risks. This would have an impact on the export market for textile industry. However, the inclusive and higher expected domestic consumption would compensate for the reduced exports. The manufacturers, who will be able to address these challenges, while also differentiating themselves through innovation and quality, are likely to be successful in times to come.

6. INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS AND THEIR ADEQUACY
