Q: How much pricing power are you seeing in export markets given the improved trade agreements, and what percentage of total revenue now comes from exports? A: Currently, our revenue is split approximately 50/50 between export and domestic markets. We aim to maintain this balance, leveraging our vertical integration from fiber to garment to offer competitive pricing and value to customers.
Q: What are the current operational constraints limiting garment utilization, and is the increase in jackets and suits a seasonal impact or a structural improvement? A: The 65% utilization is partly due to shutting down capacities in Surat. We expect to resolve this in 4-5 months, increasing capacity. The rise in jackets and suits is a structural improvement, with plans to increase this segment's share further.
Q: How do you differentiate your premium fabrics from peers, and does vertical integration provide a measurable export market gain? A: We are known for innovative, value-added fabrics, particularly in wool blends and stretch fabrics. Our vertical integration allows us to offer complete packages, enhancing our competitiveness against countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam.
Q: With increased tariffs in Mexico, how will this affect your business, and can you compensate from other markets? A: The tariff increase in Mexico affects only 100% polyester goods, not our polyviscos or poly wool products. We do not anticipate significant changes and may even see increased demand from Mexico.
Q: What is your strategy for leveraging new FTAs with the EU and UK, and are there plans for greenfield expansion in garmenting? A: We plan to utilize existing capacities and collaborate with compliant mills for additional capacity. While we have applied for a PIL, we will decide on greenfield expansion based on government policies and market conditions.
