šŸ“ˆ Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

Not disclosed in available documents

Growth Strategy

The primary strategy is the merger with Reid & Taylor International Private Limited (RTIL). This aims to achieve business synergies, brand consolidation, and operational restructuring to exit the stressed financial state.

Products & Services

Worsted fabrics, fine suitings, and textile manufacturing services.

Brand Portfolio

Digjam, Reid & Taylor (via proposed merger).

Market Expansion

The company is focusing on the merger with RTIL to stabilize its market position in the premium suiting segment.

Strategic Alliances

Scheme of Arrangement with Reid & Taylor International Private Limited (RTIL) and oversight by the AFINQUEST Group.

šŸŒ External Factors

Industry Trends

The textile industry is seeing consolidation of legacy brands under new management groups (like AFINQUEST) to resolve insolvency and leverage established brand equity.

Competitive Landscape

Competes in the premium worsted suiting market; key dynamics involve high working capital requirements and brand-driven consumer demand.

Competitive Moat

The company's moat is its long-standing brand heritage (established 1948) and specialized manufacturing capacity for worsted fabrics, though this is currently weakened by financial distress.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

High sensitivity to credit availability and interest rates; the company's ability to operate is directly tied to its liquidity position.

āš–ļø Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Operations are subject to textile manufacturing standards and pollution norms; the company must comply with SEBI Listing Obligations (LODR) for its merger process.

Taxation Policy Impact

Current Tax Assets (Net) stood at INR 1.56 Lakhs in 2025, down from INR 60.51 Lakhs in 2024.

Legal Contingencies

The company underwent Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) initiated by NCLT Ahmedabad on April 26, 2019. It is currently processing a Scheme of Arrangement with RTIL which received a 'no adverse objection' from BSE in December 2025.

āš ļø Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

The primary uncertainty is the successful implementation and integration of the RTIL merger, which will dilute public shareholding by approximately 78% (from 25% to 5.48%).

Geographic Concentration Risk

100% of manufacturing is concentrated in Jamnagar, Gujarat, creating high regional risk.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on financial institutions for working capital; production was previously suspended due to lack of liquidity.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

The company noted that while audit trails were not enabled in previous accounting software, they are now preserving records in accordance with statutory requirements.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Trade receivables stood at INR 6.04 Cr in 2025, a slight decrease from INR 6.15 Cr in 2024, indicating stable but limited credit exposure.
