REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The total production of Denim fabric during the year under review was
11.55 million meters as compared to 9.48 million meters during the
previous year. The Company has achieved a sales turnover of Rs.
16726.54 lacs during the year under review as compared to a turnover of
Rs. 11859.96 lacs during the previous year. The Company is a sick
company as defined under Section 3(1)(o) of the Sick Industrial
Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 and the Draft Rehabilitation
Scheme is under implementation. The segment wise details as required by
Accounting Standard  17 are given in the notes forming part of the
Accounts.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Denim capacity was around 600 million meters about five years ago
which has increased to more than 1000 million meters. In the past two
years, the Indian Denim industry has seen an increase in capacity of
about 200-250 million meters due to capacity addition by existing
players as well as entry of new payers in the field.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Denim industry has been growing at a steady pace but over capacity
is a serious threat due to entry of several medium/large players and
the increasing competition from the un organized sector. Fluctuation in
the prices of Cotton and other key raw materials are some of the
challenges being faced by the denim Industry. The Company is making
efforts at value addition to improve its performance.
