The Company continues to operate in the textile and garment manufacturing segment and remains focused on strengthening its market position through quality products, operational efficiency and customer-centric solutions
In terms of provisions of Regulation 34 of the SEBI(Listing obligations and Disclosures Requirements) Regulation, 2015, the Management's discussion and analysis is set out below:
I. Industry Structure and Development
India's economy continued to demonstrate resilience amid global macroeconomic challenges, consistently outperforming the global average on the back of strong domestic demand, GST rationalization, and resilient policy push. Despite external pressures such as supply chain disruptions and inflation, the country has maintained relative economic stability. In 2024 25, India's real GDP is estimated at Rs. 299.89 lakh crore, grown by 7.1%, supported by sustained growth across manufacturing, services, and infrastructure sectors, reflecting the economy's ability to adapt to evolving global conditions. Nominal GDP has reached ' 318.07 lakh crore, underscoring India's expanding presence in the global economy. Going forward, continued investments, rapid digitalization, and a favourable demographic profile are expected to further strengthen India's growth outlook.
India's textile and apparel market is estimated to be worth US$ 194 billion in 2025-26. This market has demonstrated consistent growth over time, driven primarily by strong domestic demand. The industry is largely driven by the domestic market, which accounts for US$ 157 billion (81%), while exports contribute US$ 37 billion (19%), indicating a strong internal consumption base alongside a significant export presence
Within the domestic segment, apparel dominates with US$ 115 billion, making it the largest contributor, supported by rising disposable income and increasing fashion consumption. Technical textiles form the second-largest segment at US$ 30 billion, reflecting growing demand across sectors such as healthcare, infrastructure, and automotive. Home textiles contribute US$ 12 billion, driven by steady demand in both urban and export-linked categories
Despite the global uncertainties & macro-economic challenges, India's domestic market has shown resilience over the past few years. India's domestic textile and apparel (T&A) market is estimated to US$ 157 billion in 2025-26, reflecting a growth of 7% compared to the previous year. Apparel dominates, contributing US$ 115 billion, while home textiles (US$ 12 billion) and technical textiles (US$ 30 billion) are steadily growing.
The domestic Textiles and Apparels market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% from 2025-26 onwards and reach US$250 billion by 2030-31. Technical textiles are expected to be the fastest-growing segment, reaching US$ 54 billion by 2030-31, while home textiles will expand to US$ 16 billion. With the GST 2.0 reforms effective September 22, 2025, the threshold for the concessional
5% GST rate on readymade garments was raised from Rs.1,000 per piece to Rs. 2,500 per piece. This effectively expands affordable apparel access for middle- and lower income households, the segment that drives volume in India's domestic market. Simultaneously, GST on man-made fiber was reduced from 18% to 5%, and on man-made yarns from 12% to 5% addressing a longstanding inverted duty structure that had suppressed margins across the MMF value chain. Together, these changes are expected to stimulate domestic consumption, improve manufacturing competitiveness for MMF-based apparel, and reduce working capital locked in unadjusted input tax credits.
Further, the extension of the PLI Scheme with revised, more accessible thresholds and PM MITRA's transition into mission mode are expected to catalyze fresh capital investment in textile manufacturing, expand domestic production capacity, and strengthen India's competitiveness across the value chain.
II. Opportunities and Threats
Opportunities
