Financial Performance: Modest Recovery Amid Margin Pressure
RSWM’s revenue for the quarter stood at ₹11.7 billion, reflecting a 3.6 percent year-on-year growth. The company’s net profit of ₹83.7 million marks a return to profitability after several quarters of losses, driven by improved cost control and a slight uptick in export demand.
- Operating profit: ₹671 million
- Other income: ₹94 million

Despite the recovery, margins remain under pressure due to high input costs and subdued domestic demand. The company’s EBITDA margin improved to 5.67 percent from 4.23 percent in the previous quarter.
Strategic Shift: Closure of Chhata Spinning Operations

- Closure to be completed by September 2025
- Impacted capacity: 28,000 spindles
- Workforce to be redeployed across other units or offered voluntary separation
The company stated that the closure is part of a broader strategy to consolidate operations and focus on high-margin segments such as mélange yarns, denim fabrics, and green polyester fibres.
