Operations 
 
Sales of manufactured goods registered a growth of 14%. Due to more remunerative yarn prices, domestic sales grew from Rs.1844.900 Millions to Rs. 2383.700 Millions recording a growth of 29% compared to the previous year. As a result there was a slight drop in export sales of yarn during the year under review. 


Despite the increase in turnover of the company, the profit before tax has declined significantly to Rs.222.400 Millions compared to the previous year. The increase in cotton prices coupled with a sharp increase in the interest rates and the additional depreciation on account of modernization/new projects, had an adverse impact on the profits of the company. 


Industry Conditions 

The Indian textile industry exploited the opportunity of quotafree era very well and is well placed amongst the regional players in the international markets. India's market share is growing steadily in exports due to better product-mix and value added products resulting in better realizations and margins. Considering the continued economic growth and emerging favorable trends in international markets, the textile industry is poised for a steady growth. 


As a measure to strengthen further and to encourage the Textile sectors growth, the Govt. of India has further extended TUF subsidies and other promotional supports. 


Opportunities, Risks and Concerns 

Sourcing of value-added products by international players in India is steadily increasing, resulting in a high expectation of cost effective quality products. While growth opportunities are promising for the industry, competition from the dominant player China and other low-cost countries are constant threats. This coupled with the strong appreciation of Indian Rupee vis-a-vis the US Dollar, rising labour and skilled human resource costs and hardening interest rates will further put pressure on margins. 

 


Company outlook 

The company has recognized the changing trends and will fully make use of the emerging opportunities and strive constantly to enhance its market share and image as a global player. The company has identified garments sector as a thrust area for manufacture of value added products to reputed international players across the globe. 


Despite the promising opportunities for the Textile sector on a long-term scenario, there is a trend of slackness in the market, which coupled with the Rupee appreciation, will put pressure on the performance of the company during the current year. However, the company is taking concerted efforts to face these challenges and to contain its costs in all spheres of activities. 


Expansion of Spinning Capacity 

During the current year, the company has commenced the production in its new plant at Beerapalli Village, Hindupur, Andhra Pradesh with a capacity of 30,576 spindles. The company has also acquired a mill having a capacity of 11,424 spindles at Udumalpet, Coimbatore District, Tamilnadu. As a result of these expansions, the overall installed capacity of the company has increased over 1,77,080 spindles. 


Sara Apparels and Fashions 

For cost optimization and administrative convenience, the location of the Garment Division has been consolidated in two places. There was an overall improvement in production and sales during the last financial year. The operations of this division are fully equipped to face the emerging customer needs and demand and challenges in this industry. The company has become a preferred vendor for reputed international and domestic brands. 


Recognition and Reward 

The Directors are glad to inform that Super B unit has won the First prize from ABK - ACTS DOSOKAI, Tamilnadu Centre for implementation of good Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices.

Similarly Super 'C' unit has bagged '5S' certificate of merit from ABK - AOTS DOSOKAI, Tamilnadu Centre through AOTS - N Damotharan Trophy. 

Foreign Exchange earnings 

The company has generated foreign exchange earnings of Rs.1308.500 Millions through Exports, The foreign exchange utilized during the year amounting to Rs.444.800 Millions towards purchase of raw material, machinery, spares, etc., resulting to a positive inflow of Rs.863.700 Millions.
