As the Company operates at the domestic level there are no Foreign Exchange earnings interms of actual inflows and Foreign Exchange outgo in terms of actual outflows during theyear under review.
The Indian textile Industry has been a significant contributor to the Indian economy both interms of its domestic share and exports and continues to play a pivotal role in India's growthstory through its contribution to industrial output, employment generation and exportearnings. The textile Industry contributes about 13% to industry output, 2.3% to the GDP. Theexports from the sector are valued at around $65 billion, amounting to 12% of India's totalexports. India is one of the few countries with a complete and integrated textile value chainhaving production at each level of textile manufacturing. The textile Industry is labourintensive and is one of the largest employers. It is second largest contributor towards
employment generation employing more than 40 million workers, after agriculture,contributing 10% to the country's manufacturing, owing to its labour-intensive nature.
• Robust Demand:
Rise in income levels is expected to drive demand in textile industry.
• Competitive Advantage:
India has abundant availability of raw materials such as cotton, wool, silk and jute. It alsoenjoys a comparative advantage in terms of skilled manpower and in cost of production;
• Policy Support:
100% FDI (automatic route) is allowed in the Indian Textile Sector.
• Abundant raw material availability;
• Low cost skilled labour;
• Promising export potential;
• With GST Implementation the organised sector is in the advantage.
• Indian Textile Industry is highly Fragmented Industry;
• Competition in the domestic as well as world markets specially from China;
• Lack of Technological Development that affect the productivity and other activities inwhole value chain;
• Cost competitiveness and low margins: Due to severe recessionary trends which arecontinuing in the developed countries, unit realisation of products may continue to beunder pressure;
Problems of power yet prevail: Severe power shortage in some of the states will remain abig threat for the utilisation of the plant and equipment's due to shortage of power, theutilisation may drop severely and hence volatility in yarn prices may continue;
• Increase in Labour wage rate;
• Increasing input costs i.e. power, finance and logistics;
• Fluctuation in Crude Oil Prices.
• In today's challenging and competitive environment, strategies for mitigating inherentrisks in accomplishing the growth plans of the Company are imperative. The main risksinclude strategic risk, operational risk, financial risk and compliances and legal risk. Thefast technology obsolescence, high cost of manufacturing and taxation are the major risk/concerns of the business;
• Fluctuations in foreign exchange adversely impacted exports and long- term export orderscannot be booked in view of the uncertainty in exchange rates also the fluctuation inexchange rates makes it difficult to purchase machinery from abroad due to uncertaintyof the future;
• Adequate availability of raw material at the right prices is crucial for the Company.Disruption in the supply or violent changes in the cost structure would affect theprofitability of the company;
• Government's periodical announcements for liberalised tariff concessions offered to leastdeveloped countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries under SouthAsian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) is also an area concern.
However, the future for the textile Industry looks promising, buoyed by strong domesticconsumption as well as export demand. Free trade with Asian countries and proposedagreements with EU Countries will also help to boost exports. Also, the west has started takenIndia seriously as a potential supplier of polyester yarn apart from China. Rising governmentfocus and favourable policies to support the industry has led to growth in the industry.
