Risk intelligence
Q3 and Q4 are historically export-heavy quarters for fabric division. Despite Bangladesh exports maintaining at ~50 million kg monthly, management anticipates some impact from ongoing US customer caution and potential demand elasticity effects from 50% tariff pass-through.
With ~3 million bales of cotton imported before December deadline and CCI now the dominant supplier, management flagged concern about how CCI will price cotton to mills. Indian mills paying 80-84 US cents versus global 65-68 cents creates persistent competitive disadvantage.
Vardhman Acrylic running at 100% capacity but only break-even at EBITDA level. Acrylic fiber prices are 70% higher than polyester, driving substitution. Only 3 players remain in India; overall industry demand declining structurally.
~11 million spindles (approximately 1,000 small units) have shut down. Management believes 80-90% may not restart even if conditions improve, as they are mostly tiny 10,000-spindle operations financially unviable to restart.
