7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Current Year Global Economic Overview

Stagnant global trade, subdued investment and heightened policy uncertainty marked another difficult year for the world economy. The year under review witnessed a set of tumultuous international development viz Brexit and political changes in advanced countries which resulted in lackluster growth. Global growth in

2016 was estimated at 3.1%.

Current Year Indian Economic Overview

On the domestic front, two radical policy actions viz demonetization and the momentum gained in the implementation of the Goods and Service Tax Act resulted in slower than expected growth during the year under review. Despite this the Indian Economy has been a bright spot in the global landscape. India remained the fastest growing economy, after surpassing China as the fastest growing major economy in the world. This was aided by strong consumption growth and Government''s policy decisions ensuring fiscal consolidation and controlling inflation.

Indian Textile Industry Overview

The Indian textile industry is one of the largest employment generator and is even today one of the largest contributor to India''s exports. The Indian Textile Industry continued to reel under pressure on account of the near shut down due to demonetization as well as international market conditions.

These factors resulted in a dip in the Company''s top-line, however introduction of value added products and well anticipated policy changes resulted in the Company''s bottom line yet gain touching a new high.

Global Economic Future Outlook

Global Economic activity is expected to pick-up with the long-awaited cyclical recovery in investment, manufacturing and trade. Expectation of robust global demand, reduced deflationary pressures and optimistic financial markets are other upside developments expected in future. Downside risks to global growth include increasing policy uncertainty in major advanced economies, financial market disruptions and weakening potential.

Indian Economic Future Outlook

The Indian Economy with the ongoing economic reforms, other government initiatives and lower inflation looks to move on the path of a modest growth. The reform process through the implementation of Goods and Service Tax (GST) constitutional amendment bill expects to boost India''s position in the global arena.

Textile Industry Outlook

With the expectation of good monsoon, early implementation of GST and strong domestic consumption the future of Indian Textile Industry looks promising.

Your Company with the newly acquired Dyeing unit, resilient marketing network, strong brand image, quality products, introduction of value added products as well as premium products and establishing of newly acquired brands like CADINI, expects to continue its march to newer heights.

Internal Financial Control system

Your Company has in place an adequate internal financial control system, commensurate with the size and complexity of its operations.

The Internal Auditors of the Company conduct Audit of various departments to ensure that internal controls are in place and submit quarterly Reports to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee regularly reviews these Reports and the Company when needed takes corrective actions.

The Company has appointed a consultancy firm to audit the effectiveness of the Company''s internal financial control and report on the inefficiencies, if any, in the system.

Human Resources/ Industrial Relations:

7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: Current Year Review

During the year under review, micro and macro economic scenario in domestic and international market remained subdued. This has
resulted in lower demand, falling commodity prices, depletion in the economic activity and increased financial market volatility.

Further, the de-growth in the core-sector has percolated into lower employment opportunities. All these factors have affected the
markets adversely.

The Indian textile industry continued to reel under pressure on account of domestic as well as international market conditions.
With lower-than-expected growth in core and non-core sectors and drought-like situation prevailing in the country, the textile
market was impacted adversely.

Against this backdrop, your Company has yet again improved its top-line as well as bottom-line and subjugated recessionary
trends. All the divisions of the Company registered moderate growth. Your Company developed various product lines to cater to the
needs of all segments of the market and created value-for-money products as well as created/acquired new Brands.

Future Outlook

With the expectation of Government Policies yielding favorable results, strong government reforms like Make- in-India campaign,
RBI''s inflation focus, Digital India initiative, etc., manufacturing and infrastructure sectors are likely to get a boost. Indian
economy is expected to grow faster than other developing economies. Further, with the expectation of good monsoon, food inflation
is expected to be under control. All these factors would augment the purchasing power of the people.

The Indian Textile Industry is set for good growth buoyed by strong domestic demand as well as export demand, availability of raw
material, skilled workforce, excellent infrastructure facilities and supporting government policies. Against this backdrop, your
Company expects to have better demand for the Company''s products in the ensuing year.

Your Company being a domestic player, has products to cater to every strata of society and has a resilient marketing network,
which has made its presence felt in every nook and corner of the country. Your Company,


with its good brand image, newly acquired brands like CADINI, and its dynamic marketing strategies, is all geared up to raise the
bar for all-round growth. Your Company has completed its expansion projects, is in the process of becoming a Composite Mill and
is set to embark on a backward integration project, which will add value for its stakeholders. It is thus, geared up to mitigate
its weaknesses, counter all threats as well as utilize in-built strengths to make the best of all the opportunities that comes
its way.

Management Discussion and Analysis:

Current Year Review

During the year under review, the global economic recovery that was visible in the beginning of the year strengthened as the year progressed. Much of the impetus coming mainly from advanced economies, though their recoveries remained uneven. Activity in many emerging economies has disappointed in a less favourable external environment, although they continue to contribute more than two-thirds of global growth. Even though we were far short of a full recovery.

On the domestic front, the Economic slowdown bottomed out. A spell of global financial turbulence caused capital outflows and put pressure on the exchange rate but strong policy measures stabilized the currency, rebuilt reserves and narrowed the excessive current account deficit. Weakness remains, however, and includes persistent inflation, fiscal imbalances, bottlenecks to investment and inefficiencies that require structural reforms. The political situation only compounded the difficulties.

Under this back drop, your Company''s performance can be termed as nothing short of excellent as it touched an all time high in its topline as well as bottomline.

Future Outlook

Global activity is expected to improve further in 2014-15. The dynamics imply a changing environment for emerging and developing economies as stronger growth in advanced economies implies increased demand for their exports.

Indian Economy growth is expected to improve in the coming quarters but the pace is likely to be gradual due to persistent challenges such as elevated inflation and the structural bottlenecks. Growth forecast is premised on normal monsoon, continuation of the recent reforms process, widely anticipated global recovery and good governance from a stable government. This together with improved private consumption demand will trigger a mild revival in industrial growth. Sectors such as consumer durables, automobiles and textiles will especially gain from this revival.

Your Company, with the increase in production capacities from the completion of the expansion project, its well- known brands, wide distribution network, establishing of newly introduced brands, introduction of value added products,innovative marketing and improved operational efficiency, your Company expects to perform better in the year 2014-15.

Forward Looking Statements

Statement in the Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Company''s objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or predictions may be forward looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the Company''s operations include raw material availability and prices, cyclical demand and pricing in the Company''s principal markets, changes in Government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and outside.

Management Discussion and Analysis:

The year under review clearly showed a marked recovery in the fortune of textile industry. Revival of domestic demand and signs of improvement in global markets contributed significantly to this scenario. Your company recorded an increase of 14% in Dyed Yarn production, 15% in Fabric production and 11 % in readymade garments production, all exceeding the industry average. The increased production has been the result of capacity addition and better capacity utilization.

The domestic market, after experiencing brief fall in demand consequent to global economic turmoil, recorded a smart recovery supported by Government stimulus packages, improved liquidity and revival in the domestic demand. The sales figures for the divisions of your Company mirror this trend. Net Sales in value terms of Dyed yarn grew by about 21%, Fabric by 27%, Furnishing by 25% and Garments by 36%, contributing to all round growth of the your Company.

Going ahead, domestic markets are expected to grow at healthy pace supported by strong fundamentals such as rising disposable incomes, rising aspirations and favourable demographies. However, competition is expected to be intensified with growth in organized retail, larger players going for retailing in an effort to forward integrate the value chain, international brands and retailers entering in India for growth opportunities. Therefore, longer discount seasons and pressure to keep prices lower are likely to affect the realizations.

The ensuing year is expected to be marked by tighter liquidity, wider fluctuations in the exchange rates and general rise in / firming up of price level of all important inputs. This then will have to be necessarily followed by stricter monetary and fiscal measures to rein in resultant inflation. These are expected to put pressures on the bottom-line of your Company.

However, continuing buoyancy in domestic demand, favourable demographics, increasing spending power of the Indian consumer, expectation of good monsoon coupled with your Companys internal strength of strong brand image and resilient distribution network may augur well for your Company. Your Company is thus geared up to meet the challenges and is reasonably sure of continuing on its growth trajectory. Internal Control System The Company has adequate system of internal controls to ensure that all the assets are safeguarded and are productive. Necessary checks and controls are in place to ensure that transactions are properly verified, adequately authorised, correctly recorded and properly reported. The Internal Auditors of the Company conducts Audit of various departments to ensure that internal controls are in place and submits monthly and yearly Reports to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee regularly reviews these Reports and the Company when needed takes corrective actions. Forward Looking Statements Statement in the Management Discussion and Analysis describing the Companys objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or predictions may be forward looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the Company s operations include raw material availability and prices, cyclical demand and pricing in the Companys principal markets, changes in Government regulations, tax regimes, economic developments within India and the countries in which the Company conducts business and other incidental factors.
