- Nitin Spinners is undertaking a major capex of about INR 1,100 crores focused on: - Doubling fabric division capacity (more than 50% increase). - Increasing spinning segment capacity by around 25%. - The new fabric capacity will add about INR 1,000 crores in annual revenue when fully utilized (expected by FY '28). - Partial production from new capacity expected starting September of next financial year, with around INR 400 crores revenue expected in FY '27. - The capex aims to move up the value chain for margin improvement, adding low weight products, industrial fabrics, technical products, and expanding product range for existing customers. - Maintenance capex is minimal and mostly charged to revenue, with modernization costs of INR 45-50 crores planned over 1.5 to 2 years for existing plants. - Investments in renewable energy (18 MW) worth INR 17.9 crores to reduce power costs by ~5%.

- Capacity expansion underway: spinning capacity to increase by ~25%, fabric division capacity to more than double, driving future growth. - Incremental revenue from fabric expansion expected ~INR 1,000 crores annually once fully utilized (FY '28 onwards). - FY '27 revenue expected to increase by ~INR 400 crores from partial capacity ramp-up. - Current fabric revenues around INR 650-700 crores on 34-35 million meter capacity; post-expansion potential INR 1,300-1,400 crores annually. - Yarn volume stable; slight decline due to order deferrals expected to be recovered in current quarters. - Diversification into new geographies like UK, EU, Bangladesh, Turkey, and African markets planned to mitigate US tariff impact. - Growth driven by value-added yarns, blended yarns, and expanded fabric product basket targeting new segments (ladies, kids, uniforms, technical fabrics). - Expect volumes and revenues to at least reach prior year levels, with improvements post-normalization of market conditions.
