Fragmented Industry

The level of competition is high as this industry is highly fragmented. Operating margins had been impacted even in the pre-pandemic period. Imports of MMF from countries like China & Vietnam has impacted the local industry.

Stable Regulatory environment

The government policy has been supportive to the textile sector especially in view of the high employment generation potential. In order to improve competitiveness of the domestic players in the export market, production-linked incentives have already been announced for the textile sector including man-made yarn segment. However, the GST regimes for MMF still impacts competitiveness and there has been representations for streamlining the GST rates on lines similar to cotton segment.

No supply disruptions / very narrow price band or fluctuations

Input costs are potentially volatile. Government policies regarding imposition of anti dumping duty on inputs like VSF does have an impact on cost structure. Power costs also have an impact on margins.
