LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

DIRECTORS REPORT

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS: 

During the year the Company commissioned its expansion programme by installation of 12 looms for production of dobby and jacquard towels, the benefits from which will accure in the coming years. Further, with the upcoming of major players into retailing in organised sector, the demand of terry towels into domestic market will also increase in the coming years. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 


 Overview: 
 
 i) Industry Structure and Developments

Terry towels form an integral part of the home-textile segment. The demand for terry towels varies across the countries depending upon various factors like population, demographics, living style, economic status and its climatic conditions. The annual world demand for cotton terry towels is growing @5% p.a. 


During the last few years the developed counties like U.S.A, Australia, Japan, etc. are increasingly outsourcing their requirement of home textiles (especially terry towels) from the developing countries due to their lower input and labour cost. In addition to USA now Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Italy, Canada and South Africa are also emerging as major markets for Indian companies. 

 
 Indian terry towel producers are performing exceedingly well and SRIL is no exception. In addition to the advantage of cheaper labour, India also has an edge over its competitors on account of having adequate availability, of the principle raw material-yam. Furthermore, the investment of Indian companies on product development and quality are also paying off. With the upcoming of major players in retailing, the future demand for terry towels from india is likely to grow further, both for domestic and world markets. 

 
 ii) Opportunities and threats: 

 The Indian terry towel industry has been able to establish its position in the global market as a reliable supplier of high quality towels. As a result. it is increasingly being viewed as an alternative source for replacing the local production in the developed world. Most major retailers in the world, inducing Wal-Marl K-Mart. J C Penney, Carrefour. Ikea etc.

 

are sourcing a large part of their terry towel requirements from India.

 

There is a large gap between the demand and supply which offers big scope for further growth in the coming years. Their multiplier effect on demand can be seen after the abolition of quota which has allowed the Indian manufacturers to further increase their share in the global textile trade from current levels. In the post quota regime, developed countries are looking for major outsourcing from India for home textile items. The industry will grow further as most of the units have upgraded/expanded their production facilities to take the benefit of 5% interest subsidy under the Textile Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS) from Government of India.The domestic market for terry towels, which was till now dominated by law price, low quality products from the unorganized sector, has also been picking up with the emergence of growing segment of consumers looking for high quality products and upcoming of major players in retailing. The per capita consumption of Home Textile products in India is very low compared to the developed countries. This is also expected to improve with the strong economic growth being witnessed in Inda. 


 They at SRIL firmly belief- in providing best quality products to its customers at the most affordable "value for money proposition. The terry towels manufactured by the company are well accepted by the customers worldwide and are known for its quality, competitive pricing and on-time delivery. Subject has been able to generate good response for its product by maintaining good quality and timely supplies. Subject has customers in Europe, U.S.A, Australia, New Zealand and Middle East and is receiving repeat orders from its buyers. In India the company has a long term arrangement with The Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Co. Ltd. for supply of terry towels.Overall it is noted that textile industry, including terry towels, in India is passing through boom period. The favourable Government policies are expected to further accelerate the growth in the post quota period. This has spurred fresh investment for modernization and expansion of existing facilities by all the terry towel manufacturers.  
However, with the strengthening of India rupee vis-a-vis USD the profitability of the Company has been adversely effected and hence the Company has now started diversifying in the domestic market also. 


 iii) Segment-wise or product-wise performance: 


 The Company has only one segment of activity namely - Terry Towels, in accordance with the definition of "Segment" as per the Accounting Standard 17 issued by "The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India". The performance of the Company is discussed separately in this report. 


 iv) Outlook: 

The outlook for the Company remains positive. Recently the Company has made significant investments to nearly double its production capacities. The present order book position of the Company is excellent and they are booked for next three months production.
