Category 4

- Capacity utilization is near 100% in fabric and improved in denim and knitting, indicating a base for volume growth. - The company has announced a capex of INR220 crores for expansion, adding about 15,000 spindles, showing intent for capacity growth. - Maintenance capex of INR300-350 crores per year will continue to support operational efficiency and technology upgrades. - New melange business expansion in Punjab will add 8-9 tons per day capacity, targeting fashion-related fabric with good margins. - Demand in some segments like denim and fabric is recovering; however, spinning margins depend on yarn price improvements. - Export demand remains stable; one-third of production is for exports, with growth opportunities linked to global garmenting shifts (e.g., China Plus One). - Further capex announcements expected once market conditions and profitability improve.

Order book

The transcript on page 16 does not provide explicit details about the current or expected order book or pending orders of Vardhman Textiles Limited. However, the following points related to demand and orders can be noted: - Due to the Red Sea crisis, transit times have increased, leading customers in the US and Europe to request ex-mill delivery of goods two weeks earlier than originally planned (a pull-forward of orders). - The total volume of orders remains the same, but the delivery schedule has been accelerated. - This has created an opportunity for Indian woven textiles, including Vardhman, to benefit from earlier shipments. - Export demand primarily comes via Southeast Asian countries and Bangladesh, which then export garments to US and Europe. - Freight costs for garment shipments are largely borne by buyers, minimizing cost impact on exporters. - The company noted that the worst of demand challenges appears to be over, with better demand expected in coming quarters. No specific numeric order book or pending order figures are disclosed.
