Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Consolidated revenue from sales was INR 602.22 Cr in FY25, representing a 33.7% decrease from INR 908.48 Cr in FY24. Standalone revenue mirrored this at INR 602.22 Cr, down 33.7% YoY. The decline in turnover was noted across the company's primary textile operations.
Geographic Revenue Split
Not disclosed in available documents, though the company is actively exploring non-U.S. markets to mitigate the impact of steep U.S. tariffs on textile exports.
Profitability Margins
Net Profit Margin improved significantly from 0.73% in FY24 to 2.94% in FY25, a 303.82% increase in the ratio. Return on Equity (ROE) rose from 8.30% to 18.18% (up 119.02% YoY), and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 10.03% to 13.95% (up 39.07% YoY) due to higher profit accretion.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA increased by 37% to INR 42.91 Cr in FY25 from INR 31.31 Cr in FY24. This improvement in core profitability was driven by operational efficiencies and the commencement of captive power plants despite the drop in top-line revenue.
Capital Expenditure
The company is investing in a new solar power project and captive power plants to reduce energy costs. While specific total INR Cr for the project is not explicitly totaled, the company maintains term loans for these facilities, including a solar project expected to improve financial flexibility.
Credit Rating & Borrowing
Infomerics upgraded the long-term rating to IVR BBB/Stable (from IVR BBB-/Stable) and the short-term rating to IVR A3+ (from IVR A3) in July 2025. Borrowing costs are linked to standard bank rates for term loans totaling approximately INR 85.59 Cr and working capital limits of INR 30.00 Cr.
Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Cotton and Yarn are the primary raw materials. Cotton prices are highly volatile and influenced by the Minimum Support Price (MSP) set by the government, directly impacting the cost of production for the spinning and fabric divisions.
Import Sources
Not disclosed in available documents; however, the company monitors Indian government policies regarding cotton MSP, suggesting significant domestic sourcing.
Key Suppliers
Not disclosed in available documents; however, the promoters' two-decade experience has established healthy relationships with a wide network of suppliers and dealers.
Capacity Expansion
The company is expanding its solar power capacity to achieve energy self-sufficiency. It is also scaling up operations to meet larger volumes for big brands and retailers, though specific MTPA or unit capacity is not disclosed.
Raw Material Costs
Raw material costs are a major component of the cost structure. The company uses an order-backed procurement policy and maintains substantial inventory (Inventory Turnover Ratio decreased 63.71% to 14.80 in FY25) to safeguard against price volatility.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Manufacturing efficiency is being driven by the integration of captive power and the ability to provide large volumes consistently to big brands, aiming to regain 'preferred supplier' status.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
24.50%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by targeting revenue exceeding INR 750 Cr per annum, scaling up relationships with large physical and online retailers, and leveraging new state/central government textile incentives. The company is also focusing on non-U.S. markets to bypass trade barriers and utilizing captive solar power to remain price-competitive.
Products & Services
The company manufactures and sells Fabrics, Garments, and Yarn. It provides these to large retailers and big brands, focusing on quality and design capability.
Brand Portfolio
United Polyfab Gujarat Limited (UPGL). The company supplies to 'big brands' and 'large retailers,' though specific third-party brand names are not listed.
New Products/Services
The company has started building relationships to supply finished garments to large retailers, moving further down the value chain from yarn and fabric.
Market Expansion
Targeting non-U.S. markets to mitigate macroeconomic effects and expanding relationships with large-scale online and physical retailers.
Market Share & Ranking
Not disclosed in available documents; the industry is described as highly fragmented with many organized and unorganized players.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The textile industry is evolving with a shift toward sustainable energy (solar) and increased government support through incentives. The company is positioning itself as a high-volume, quality-consistent supplier for large-scale retail brands.
Competitive Landscape
Intense competition from both large organized players and numerous unorganized spinning units, which limits bargaining power.
Competitive Moat
The company's moat is built on the promoters' 20+ years of experience and established supplier/dealer networks. This is sustainable as it ensures raw material access in a volatile market, though it is challenged by the fragmented nature of the industry.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to global trade policies and domestic agricultural policies (MSP). A change in export incentives or GST rates would directly impact international competitiveness.
Consumer Behavior
Increased demand from large-scale online retailers is shifting the company's focus toward building direct relationships with digital platforms.
Geopolitical Risks
Steep U.S. tariffs targeting textile exports represent a significant geopolitical risk to the company's traditional export markets.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Operations are governed by the Companies Act 2013 and textile-specific regulations including cotton MSP policies, export/import duties, and labor laws.
Environmental Compliance
The company is investing in solar power projects to align with green energy trends and reduce its carbon footprint, though specific ESG costs in INR are not disclosed.
Taxation Policy Impact
The company is subject to standard Indian corporate tax rates; it also monitors changes in GST rates which affect the overall competitiveness of textile products.
Legal Contingencies
The company has a corporate guarantee of INR 21.42 Cr as of March 31, 2025, given in favor of its related entity, United Techfab Ltd. Crystallization of this liability is a key downward rating factor.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Raw material price volatility (cotton/yarn) and the potential crystallization of the INR 21.42 Cr corporate guarantee are the primary uncertainties that could impact liquidity by over 15-20%.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High exposure to the Indian domestic market for sourcing and previously high exposure to the U.S. market for exports, which is now being diversified.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on the financial health of United Techfab Ltd due to the outstanding corporate guarantee.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company identifies Information Technology as its backbone and maintains a risk management framework to prevent digital disruptions.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables Turnover Ratio decreased by 42.37% to 6.17 in FY25, indicating a slower collection cycle and increased credit exposure to customers.
