Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the country surged to over USD 25 billion in 2007-08. India has the largest young population in the world, spurring a boom in consumption in the country. India's consumer market is the twelfth largest in the world, expected to be the fifth largest by 2025. Despite the global economic slowdown, India is expected to be in a sweet spot in 2008-09, growing at an average of around 8.5%. It is clear that India is all set to play a key role in the world economy. 


Industry overview 

The global textile and apparel industry, estimated at around USD 450 billion is one of the largest contributors to international trade. With the implementation of the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC), all trade barriers; both tax and non-tax imposed by the developed countries on imports from developing countries have come to an end with effect from January 1 2005, giving way to a free trade regime in global textile trade. China and India have been the biggest beneficiaries of this development and are expected to account for approximately 65% of global clothing exports in the coming years. 


India accounts for 8% of the global trade in textiles and is ranked as the 6th largest supplier in the world. The country is the largest producer of jute, second largest producer of cotton yarn, second largest producer of silk and the fifth largest producer of synthetic fibre/yarn globally. 


The Indian textile and apparel industry, currently worth around USD 49 billion is one of the largest industries in India. It makes a significant contribution to the country economy, adding about 5% to the GDP, 14 % to the industrial production and 17% to the total export earnings. Textile exports stood at USD 20.5 billion in 2007-08. It is the largest foreign exchange earning sector in the country besides being the second largest provider of employment after agriculture, being directly responsible for the employment of around 38 million people and indirectly for another 50 million people. 


Going forward, the outlook for the industry looks very encouraging. The industry is becoming more competitive by embracing modern technology and work processes, building strong brand equity and consistently achieving higher growth rates than ever. Increasing organized retail penetration with global giants entering the Indian markets, favourable demographics, rising disposable income levels and a rapid change in consumer preference towards high-end value added products are driving the domestic consumption demand. Export growth has been high post quotas and is all set to soar higher in the near future. The change in the product mix in favour of higher value-added products has differentiated India from regional peers and contributed towards higher price realizations and better margins. 


Besides, the Indian Government has recognized the potential of the textile and apparel sector and has undertaken several measures to give it a further boost. Some of these include:

  
 * The Indian textile and apparel industry is projected to receive an impetus worth USD 35 billion as investments by 2012. 


  * A total of 30 integrated textile parks have been sanctioned under the Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP). These parks would commence operations by the end of 2008-09 and 10 more parks would be added by 2012 under SITP. 


 * Technology Mission on Cotton has been launched to make available quality raw material at competitive prices. 
 
 * Extension of the 5% interest subsidy via Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) that facilitates the modernization and upgradation of the textiles industry, previously slated to expire in March 2007. 


 * 100% FDI allowed through the automatic route. 


 * De-reservation of readymade garments, hosiery and knitwear from the SSI sector. 


 * Fast progress on relaxing labour laws to improve sector productivity. With textile SEZs offering flexible labour laws, a national rollout is widely expected. 


 * Three centres of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) would be opened soon in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh; Patna, Bihar and Shillong, Meghalaya. Recently, two centres of NIFT have been opened at Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh and Kannur, Kerela. 


Business overview 

Subject is one of India's leading, vertically integrated textile companies, having a strong presence across the entire value chain of design, yarn dyeing, weaving, fabric processing, garment manufacturing and retail. The Company is currently the largest garment manufacturer in India. BRFL's focus on vertical integration, innovative design and manufacturing high-end garments enable the Company to achieve higher margins than its peers. 


BRFL manufactures a wide variety of fabrics and garments. Fabrics are sold in the domestic market as well as exported. In the domestic market, fabric is sold under the brand name Bombay Rayon' to garment manufacturers and retailers. In the export market, fabrics are exported to the Middle East and European countries. Garments are 100% exported to the USA and EU for reputed retail brands. 


BRFL presently operates through 13 manufacturing facilities (including one sampling unit in Mumbai) located across Bangalore, Karnataka; Navi Mumbai and Thane, Maharashtra and Silvassa; in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Currently, BRFL's yarn dyeing capacity is 1.4 million kg p.a. fabric manufacturing capacity is 55 million metres p.a. and garment manufacturing capacity is 30 million pieces p.a. The Company has a quick turnaround time of 60 days which under fast track delivery is reduced to 30 days as compared to the industry average of 90 days. 
 
 Acquisitions during the year 


 * Acquired the garment business of Leela Scottish Lace (P) Limited for a total consideration of Rs.1550 million. The Company has been an established garment manufacturer and exporter for the last 30 years, having 16 factories and capacity of more than 50,000 pieces per day. 


 * Acquired the garment manufacturing unit 'LNJ Apparel' of RSWM Limited, an LNJ Bhilwara Group company for Rs.255 million. The unit is located in Bangalore, Karnataka having a manufacturing capacity of 8000 pieces per day. 


 * Acquired the garment business of Maryan Apparel Private Limited' for Rs.147.40 million. The unit is located in Thiruvanantpuram, Kerela having a manufacturing capacity of 8000 pieces per day. 


 * Acquired the brand GURU' and the retail business of Jam Session Holding S.r.l (Jam) through BRFL Italia S.r.l (BRFL Italia), a company promoted by BRFL Europe B.V, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bombay Rayon Retail Limited. The holding company of these companies is Bombay Rayon Fashions Limited. GURU' is an established, highend, European retail brand with substantial Goodwill in the market. The Company plans to open a number of GURU' outlets globally in the next 3 years. 


BRFL has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Maharashtra for its upcoming expansion projects in the state. The MoU provides for the various fiscal incentives for the Company that will enable it to become the lowest cost producer of fabric and garments. The Company has initiated SPVs which have already received approvals from the Ministry of Textiles, sanctioning the project under SITP. The Company is also setting up manufacturing units in these integrated textile parks. This expansion project will facilitate an increase in the Company's processed fabric manufacturing capacity to 235 million metres p.a. and garment manufacturing capacity to 250,000 pieces per day. 


Opportunities 

Globally, the textile and apparel industry is moving steadily on a high growth path. It is expected to grow to USD 700 billion from the current level of USD 450 billion by 2010 with demand for textiles and apparel expected to grow to 25% from current figures where Asia will contribute 85%. Currently, China controls around 40% of the global apparel trade directly. Of the remaining 60%, around half of it is dependent on China for raw material inputs. Thus, around 70% of the global trade is sourced from China, which has been the lowest cost producer for over two decades. However, over the last two years, there has been a distinct change in the scenario. A steep appreciation of the Chinese currency, wage increases, power shortages, interest rate hikes, efforts to clean up its image for the Olympic Games, decline in the level of incentives given to the textile industry and new regulations have lead to a decline in China's share. This coupled with the increase in the incentives given to the Indian textile and apparel industry has given India an edge over China. 


India's domestic textile industry is also set to tread on a high growth path. Favourable demographics, rising per capita disposable income, increasing organized retail penetration and a change in the consumer preference in favour of highend, value added products are driving the domestic textile and apparel consumption demand. Indian textile and apparel sector is expected to grow to USD 110 billion by 2012, of which the domestic market is estimated to be worth USD 60 billion and exports valued at USD 50 billion. Textile exports stood at USD 20.5 billion in 2007-08. This figure is likely to increase by 20% during the current fiscal and grow to USD 40 billion by 2010. 
 
BRFL's expertise, experience, high quality and vertically integrated execution capabilities are factors that will help the Company leverage the plethora of opportunities that lie ahead. 


Outlook 

Considering the imminent boom in the global textile and apparel industry, it is safe to say that the future of the Company looks very promising. Vision 2010 for textiles, formulated by the Government of India aims to increase the size of the Indian textile and apparel industry to USD 85 billion with exports amounting to USD 50 billion. BRFL is fully prepared to participate in this opportunity with aggressive expansion plans and growth strategies. The Company expects 2008-09 to be an inflection point for the business, preparing BRFL for higher growth then on. 


The Company is the largest garment manufacturer in India. BRFL has a strong client base, low labour costs, high productivity and enjoys economies of scale. The Company displays manufacturing diversity with machines compatible to cotton, nylon, polyester, linen and blends to hedge against changing trends in fashion, hence retaining full capacity. BRFL has an experienced management team and a highly innovative design team that churns out 5 new designs on a daily basis. The Company has a consistent track record of project implementation without significant cost and time overruns. 


BRFL's vision is to become a complete apparel company. This will be accomplished by moving up the value chain to higher value added products through its vertically integrated business, increasing fabric and garment manufacturing capacities, growing business organically through new product launches and inorganically by acquiring new facilities. With continued focus on innovative designs, the Company aims to become the lowest cost producer of fabrics in the world by creating the best manufacturing facilities. BRFL also aims to become the largest producer of fabrics and garments in the country and a significant global player, with focus on the high - margin garment segment. 

 
To achieve its vision, BRFL is expanding its capacities across the value chain. 10.5 million kg p.a. capacity is being added to yarn dyeing facilities to take the total capacity to 11.9 million kg p.a; 180 million metres p.a. capacity is being added to fabric production facilities to take the total capacity to 235 million metres p.a. and 15 million pieces p.a. capacity is being added to garment production facilities to take the total capacity to 75 million pieces p.a. New manufacturing units are also being set up in Maharashtra (for fabric and garments) and Bangalore, Karnataka (for garments). BRFL is on a lookout for strategic international tie-ups for garment manufacturing with companies in India, Japan and China to expand its global footprint. The Company believes this is just the beginning and the best is yet to come.
