One year before, we recommended a not well known textile company called Vardhman Textiles, when it was trading at 342. The stock was moved slowly and steadily giving an almost 100% return. In the recommendation article we mentioned that the whole textile industry is testing the patience of investors.But if we look back now, it was a wonderful year that passed on.
Textile Industry Going Forward
The new textile policy of Indian Government has an ambitious target of achieving 20 per cent share of the global textile trade and helping the domestic industry attain a size of $650 billion by 2024-25 by focussing on investments, skill development and labour law reforms. The policy blueprint, termed as the ‘Vision, Strategy and Action Plan’ for the textiles and apparel industry, lays thrust upon diversification of exports through new products and markets along with increasing value addition and promoting innovation and R&D activities.
The industry is expected to attract investment of about $120 billion by 2024-25 and create about 35 million additional jobs in the process. Exports are also expected to rise from the current $39 billion to $300 billion by 2024-25. The action plan notes that attracting the required investment entails ready availability of developed land with adequate infrastructure, skilled manpower and easy connectivity to ports, along with creation of new mega textile parks, lowering the cost of production and logistics, encouraging new entrants through start-ups, as well as FDI.
With the textile industry growth, the textile machinery industry size is also expected to double to Rs. 45,000 crores in the next seven years from the present Rs. 22,000 crores on the back of new projects and emphasis on setting up textile parks. Seeing the future potential, Indian textile companies have already lined up investments for future capacity expansion. Companies like Trident, Welspun, Chiripal Group, KPR Mills, RSWM, Arvind, Raymonds and Mafatlals have announced siginificant investments in areas like home textiles, denim and garmenting.
Trident - Largest manufacturer of terry towels in the world
Expanding scale and reach. Incorporated in 1985 by Chairman Rajinder Gupta, the Trident Group today is one of the biggest yarn producers in India and the largest for terry towels globally. It has eight yarn units at Sanghera (Punjab) and Budni (MP), while the integrated Dhaula complex (Punjab) has three home-textile units, two paper units, chemicals and energy. The capacities have reached global scale – yarn (100,800tons), terry towel (360mn pieces), paper (450tpd) – thereby providing competitive edge in the commoditised sector. The customer base is highly diversified with MNCs in 75 countries across the globe, comprising 9 of the top 10 retailers in U.S., 6 leading retailers in Europe and 5 of the top 7 in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).
After unveiling the world’s largest terry towel plant, the Trident Group aims to surpass the bounds of being the world’s largest integrated home textile manufacturer and continues to expand and modernize its capacities making it comparable with global standards.
The company already has its yarn manufacturing facilities at Sanghera in Punjab and Budhni in M.P. with a total of 3.66 lakh spindles and 3,584 rotors. The newly-commissioned plant at Budhni would further add 1,920 rotors to its existing capacity. With an investment of Rs. 60 crores for this expansion project, Trident has stepped forward towards the self-reliant manufacturing process.
Trident also commissioned an open-end yarn spinning expansion project in July 2014, with a capacity of nearly 10,000 TPA of cotton open-end yarn for meeting the yarn requirement for its terry towel unit in Budhni.
The company will make a total investment of Rs. 2,400 crores for its composite textile project and will engage over 25,000 families across all its business verticals. The project is completely vertically integrated, from cotton-to terry towel and from cotton to bed linen. Keeping pace with the technology, Trident has partnered with global suppliers like Karl Mayer, Toyota, Staubli, Benninger, Anglada, Muratec, LMW, Trutzschler, Oerlikon, Savio, etc., for its expansion and diversification plans.
