During the year under review, financial performance of your Company was as under:

The Company's plants at Raipur and Nagpur continue to be under closure due to acute financial distress. The Company was registered as sick industrial undertaking by BIFR, however, with the introduction of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 BIFR and AAIFR have been abolished. During the pendency of proceedings before BIFR, the secured creditor by assignment had taken symbolic possession of the secured assets followed by actions for actual physical possession of the secured assets situated at Nagpur.

The inherent strengths of the textile industry have seen the textile industry through rough days and hard times.

The World trading system have endangered the stability of the textile industry and created an atmosphere of uncertainty and turbulence in the industry. But it is also a fact that turbulence is necessary for any change in the system. In a World that is fast losing its traditional boundaries and borders are becoming invisible, there is need to bring about technological improvement, structural changes, liberalisation from controls and regulations, increased productivities of labour and machine and reliable quality assurance systems. If there is insecurity inherent in the globalised economy, there is also opportunity - opening up of vast markets to Indian textiles and Indian clothing that were earlier closed or regulated and Indian textile industry is ready to take up this opportunity of free trade and secure its well deserved position in the international textile arena.

The Economic crisis is continuing to affect the order situation adversely. The on-going competition with China is also making it difficult to generate fresh business. Although China is the number one apparel export country, and the Chinese-made fabrics are still not satisfactory in respect of color, texture, quality etc. To be more competitive in the domestic market, the management is pursuing with the Government Authorities for De-bonding of our processing unit. Moreover due to continuous pandemic of Covid-19 growth of the textiles sector has been deeply affected due to fall in global as well as local demand of products.
