Apart from this, the company is also focusing on modernisation with the existing spinning unit of the company to be modernised with compact spinning technology. This will entail a capex of about Rs. 50 crore.
Post modernisation, this capacity will also be used for captive consumption in the home textiles unit.
These investments are expected to increase the revenue by about Rs. 600 crore over the next 2 years, post commissioning.
Anil Kumar Jain, Executive Chairman of the company said, the investment in modernisation and technological upgradation will further enhance the company’s product offering capabilities to customers and grow the market share of the company in bedding products category.
