Threading Tomorrow: GHCL Textiles Weaves a ₹1,000 Crore Growth Saga

GHCL Textiles Limited has initiated a daring ₹1,000 crore expansion program to turbocharge its spinning and knitting capacities, affirming its position as a leader in India's textile renaissance. This strategic investment is turning the company into a vertically integrated fabric and garment-ready powerhouse from a yarn specialist. Key Highlights

 

Of the ₹1,000 crore investment, ₹500 crore has already been utilized to install 25,000 new spindles and 40 state-of-the-art circular knitting machines, with commissioning planned for June 2025. This will greatly increase production levels and speed-to-market for high-demand knitted fabrics.

 

GHCL is seriously planning ahead integration into weaving and dyed fabric production, with a view to catering to a wider range of home textiles, apparel, and industrial fabric customers.

 

The firm's Kaveri division at the Manaparai unit is being restructured to unlock operating efficiencies, minimize conversion costs, and enhance margins.

 

FY25 financials indicate this momentum: revenue jumped 10% year-on-year to ₹1,168 crore, EBITDA came in at ₹117 crore, and profit after tax rose 123% to ₹56 crore, thanks to steady cotton prices and strong export demand.

 

Sustainability is one of the fundamental pillars, with 72% of energy requirements addressed by 62 MW of green assets, and continued investment in water management and waste reduction.

 

GHCL's product line now extends across premium cotton, synthetic, and blended yarns, as well as cutting-edge knitted fabrics, making it a partner of choice for global brands.

 

With this growth, GHCL Textiles is set to double its top line in the next five years and create new heights in quality, innovation, and sustainability.
