SEL, which manufactures automatic winding machines for the textile industry, has been facing stiff competition from international manufacturers. Textile manufacturers have been opting for imports of second-hand automatic winding machines which work out to be cheaper. Moreover, there is a flood of automatic winding machines from Japanese manufacturers. Gujarat Textronics is the subsidiary of SEL. The company has introduced a new model -- Autoconer 238 -- which has received a good market response.

In 2006, the Company sold its Vadodara Plant for Rs. 165.2 Million as per guidelines specified in the Revival Scheme, which was approved by the BIFR.
