It came out with a public issue in Oct.88 to finance its long term working capital requirements. By Mar.90, it added additional 6000 worsted spindles.Since, the acrylic market for worsted spinning units is turning into a low margin activity, the company has decided to come out of the hosiery segment by diversifying into polyester wool, pure wool and polyester viscose yarns suitable for worsted suitings.In 199596, the company earned a foreign exchange of Rs 5 cr. During the year, due to the continued recession witnessed by the acrylic yarn industry, the companys margins were eroded due to increase in the cost of the raw material, restricted money supply, increase in interest rates and significant devaluation of rupee. Despite marked improvement in production, turnover and exports, the profitability of the company did not improve correspondingly.In 2003, the Company carried out majority of its manufacturing activities at Nandesari site.
