5. ANALYSIS AND REVIEW

Industry conditions and Review of operations

The Indian textile industry is a significant part of the country''s economy, contributing to both GDP and
employment, and is a major global exporter.

India holds a significant position in the global textile industry, being the world''s second-largest producer
of textiles and garments, and a major exporter of textiles and apparel. India is also the second-largest
producer of cotton globally. The Indian textile industry contributes significantly to the country''s economy,
employing millions and generating substantial revenue.

The yarn market is growing due to consumer demand, technological advancements and sustainable
manufacturing practices.

However, the yarn market faces several challenges.

1. Raw material availability

2. Price volatility - The prices of raw materials can be volatile, influencing production costs and
pricing strategies for textile yarns. This volatility poses a challenge for manufacturers in managing
their operations and maintain profitability.

Cotton production in India is projected to reach 7.2 million tonnes by 2030 driven by increased demand
from consumers.

Textile manufacturing in India has been steadily recovering amid the pandemic.

Company Outlook

The Indian textile industry is one of the largest and most dynamic sectors in the world. With its rich
cultural heritage and diverse production capabilities, India is poised to become a global textile leader
by 2025. As we move into the future, several key trends and innovations are shaping the trajectory of
the industry. The Indian textile industry''s outlook for 2025, is focusing on growth prospects, emerging
trends, and the role of sustainability and technology..

The Company has also made adjustments to ensure we are in position to produce counts of yarn that
are in demand and able to switch counts at short notice to meet demand as opposed to produce and
store.

The Company is also continually exploring ways to introduce value added products to help expand
margins.

The Company is making all efforts to reduce costs and rationalize operations to have a positive effect
and give better operational results.

Opportunities and Risks

The Indian textile and apparel industry has been adversely impacted in the short to medium-term due
the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, overall increase in commodity prices and un-precedented double digit
inflation as being experienced in western countries, resulting in lower consumer spends on apparels and
made ups. The sector is reeling under liquidity crisis due to cost pressure and related factors.

Challenges to Overcome

High Raw Material Costs: The cost of raw materials such as cotton and man-made fibers continues to
fluctuate, impacting profitability.

Infrastructure Gaps: Despite improvements, the textile industry still faces challenges related to infrastructure,
logistics, and outdated machinery in some regions.

Environmental Concerns: While sustainability is a growing trend, more efforts are needed to reduce water
and energy consumption in textile manufacturing.

5. ANALYSIS AND REVIEW

Industry conditions and Review of operations

In India, the manufacturing sector, contributing 16% of GDP, has been hit by rising raw material costs
and weak demand, despite bright growth elsewhere.

The Textile Industry is facing exceptional and unprecedented challenging conditions. Due to considerable
volatility in cotton prices and low demand for fabrics, yarn prices fell substantially. There is a rise of
demand for low-cost products having sustainable and environment - friendly production processes.
Consumers are seeking products that are made from renewable materials and from sustainable manufacturing
processes.

Economic uncertainties, supply chain disruption and increased operational costs have collectively
contributed to the distress faced by the spinning mills. The adverse impact of these challenges has been
further exacerbated by a decline in demand both domestically and internationally.

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 intense competition 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.

The industry has sought duty free imports of cotton, an interest subsidy on bank loans and expansion
of production linked incentives to face the crisis.

Company Outlook

The coming year will be challenging with respect to cotton pricing. The Company expects the cotton
prices to remain less volatile .We must navigate the challenging period by differentiating ourselves
The overall global economic outlook is not encouraging due to numerous factors viz., overall increase
in commodity prices) and an un-precedented double digit inflation as being experienced in western
countries for the very first time in decades, The domestic demand for cotton products including apparels
will take a huge hit due to high inflationary trend as currently being experienced in India.

The Company has also made adjustments to ensure we are in position to produce counts of yarn that
are in demand and able to switch counts at short notice to meet demand as oppose to produce and store.

The Company is also continually exploring ways to introduce value added products to help expand
margins.

The Company is making all efforts to reduce costs and rationalize operations to have a positive effect
and give better operational results.

Opportunities and Risks

The Indian textile and apparel industry has been adversely impacted in the short to medium -term due
the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, overall increase in commodity prices and un-precedented double digit
inflation as being experienced in western countries, resulting in lower consumer spends on apparels and
made ups. The sector is reeling under liquidity crisis due to cost pressure and related factors.

The cotton price is subject to climatic conditions and market volatility. The probable impact of climatic
conditions in current year is expected to have a bearing on the cotton prices and yarn rates too.

Exports may get affected due to global sentiments, inflationary pressure. Power shortage and Labour
shortage (migration of labour) are major concerns, which could have major impact on operations of the
industry.

Higher inflation, increase in borrowing cost, cost of Raw Material viz. cotton and price of finished
product viz. yarn would have adverse impact on profit margin of the company.
