During FY 2025-26 your Company delivered its
highest-ever consolidated revenue of H3,811.18 Crores,
a growth of 27.10% over the previous year, driven
principally by the commissioning and rapid ramp-up
of the Punjab facility (operated through the wholly
owned subsidiary Sanathan Polycot Private Limited)
alongside continued optimal-capacity operation
at Silvassa. Consolidated EBITDA grew 7.90% to
H284.35 crores. Consolidated profit after tax stood at
H77.35 crores, against H160.45 crores in the previous
year, that decline is explained almost entirely by the
higher interest and depreciation that necessarily
accompany a greenfield project. The Company
considers it important to explain precisely why
revenue grew 27.10% while profit declined, because
the two movements have a single, identifiable and
largely mechanical cause. In accordance with Ind AS
16, assets that had until then been carried as capital
work-in-progress were capitalised to property, plant
and equipment upon becoming ready for their
intended use. Capital Work-In-Progress of H1,971.05
crores was capitalised during the year, reducing
the closing balance of capital work-in-progress to
H252.00 crores from H1,586.95 crores, and increasing
net Property, Plant and Equipment to H2,804.36
crores from H930.87 crores.
For more details, refer to the Audited Standalone
and Consolidated Financial Statements, which forms
part of this Annual Report.
2. REVIEW OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS &
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
Company operational outlook
Your Company is one of India''s most integrated
and diversified yarn manufacturer operating across
three verticals: polyester filament yarn, cotton yarn
and yarns for technical textiles and is transitioning
from a predominantly single-location operation
at Silvassa to a multi-location footprint spanning
Silvassa and Punjab. The Silvassa facility continued
to operate at optimal utilisation during the year,
supported by its wide product range, established
automation in warehousing and material handling,
and proximity to India''s western ports for both
domestic and export supply.
The most significant operational development
shaping the outlook is the greenfield polyester
filament yarn facility at Wazirabad, Punjab operated
through your Company''s Wholly Owned Subsidiary,
Sanathan Polycot Private Limited. The facility''s
Continuous Polymerisation line was commissioned
on August 27, 2025 and has been ramped up and
now stabilised to 700 MTPD establishing Punjab as
a dedicated supply hub for the North India textile
ecosystem with materially shorter lead times to
key garment clusters such as Delhi, NCR, Haryana,
Amritsar, Punjab, Ludhiana and Panipat. The facility
is being scaled in phases toward its full polyester
filament yarn potential, which, on completion
of the phase two, will substantially increase the
Company''s aggregate installed capacity and more
than double its polyester filament yarn capacity over
the coming years.
Having largely completed its peak-investment phase,
your Company expects the operating leverage from
higher utilisation across these capacities, together
with the benefits of backward integration and a
progressively cleaner, lower-cost energy mix, to
support margins and cash flows as the new assets
mature. The near-term outlook is further aided
by supportive policy, including the temporary
exemption of raw cotton imports from customs duty
and the Agriculture Infrastructure and Development
Cess and improving trade access for Indian textiles.
Your Directors remain confident in the Company''s
medium-term growth trajectory, while recognising
that outcomes remain subject to raw-material
and energy-cost volatility, global trade and
tariff developments.
3. CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF BUSINESS:
During the financial year under review, there was no
change in the nature of the Company''s business.
4. DIVIDEND AND RETENTION OF PROFITS:
In view of the significant capital being deployed
towards the Company''s ongoing capacity expansion
across its Punjab, Silvassa and Madhya Pradesh
projects, your directors have not recommended any
dividend for the financial year under review. The
Board is of the view that retaining and reinvesting
the profits earned during the year will create greater
long-term value for shareholders by supporting
sustained revenue growth, strengthening the
Company''s manufacturing base and enhancing
operating leverage as the new capacities mature.
Accordingly, the profits for the year have been
ploughed back into the business and retained in
reserves to fund the Company''s growth initiatives.
5. TRANSFER OF AMOUNTS TO INVESTOR
EDUCATION AND PROTECTION FUND:
Since all the Equity Shares of the Company are in
dematerialized form, there have been no instances
of unclaimed shares which requires any transfer that
needs to be done to the Investor Education and
Protection Fund (IEPF).
6. MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENT
IF ANY AFFECTING THE FINANCIAL
POSITION OF THE COMPANY OCCURRED
AFTER THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR:
There are no material changes or commitments that
can affect the financial position of the Company.
7. DETAILS OF SIGNIFICANT AND MATERIAL
ORDERS PASSED BY THE REGULATORS
OR COURTS OR TRIBUNALS IMPACTING
THE GOING CONCERN STATUS AND
COMPANYâS OPERATIONS IN FUTURE:
There were no significant or material orders passed
during the year that could adversely impact the
Company''s future operations or its status as
a going concern.

The Board comprises an optimal balance of
Independent Directors, including a Woman Director,

the surrounding community. Keeping this in mind, the
Company invested in a dedicated Fire Tender and an
Ambulance at the Punjab site and made a conscious
decision not to reserve them for internal use alone.
Both assets remain available to the surrounding
community and can be mobilised in the event of
a fire, a medical emergency or any other incident
requiring immediate response. In a region where
the nearest emergency infrastructure can be some
distance away, the difference between help arriving
in minutes and help arriving in an hour is not a small
one. The response from the neighbourhood has been
encouraging, with the Company receiving letters of
appreciation from local stakeholders a modest but
meaningful indication that the facility is being seen
as part of the community rather than apart from it.
Fire-Fighting Training
The value of such training is that it does not stay
confined to the shop floor. A participant who has been
taught to assess a fire calmly, use an extinguisher
correctly and evacuate others in an orderly manner
carries that presence of mind home with them. Should
an emergency arise in their own house or in the
neighbourhood, the instinct is to respond rather than
to panic and in this way, the initiative''s benefit extends
outward from the workplace to the community at large.
Cervical Cancer Awareness and Vaccination
Initiative
Cervical cancer remains one of the most prevalent
cancers among women in India despite being largely
preventable through timely awareness, screening and
vaccination. Limited awareness and low screening
coverage continue to be significant barriers to early
prevention and treatment.
Recognising the importance of preventive
healthcare, the Company organised cervical cancer
awareness sessions in Mumbai and facilitated
vaccination initiatives in Kolkata during FY 2025-26.
By combining awareness with access to preventive
healthcare, the initiative sought to encourage
informed decision-making and contribute towards
improving women''s health. The programme also
aligns with national and global efforts to increase
awareness and promote HPV vaccination for the
prevention of cervical cancer.
Food Distribution for Underprivileged
Communities
The country produces enough food. What it
does not consistently do is get that food to the
people who need it.
The UNEP Food Waste Index Report 2024 estimated
India''s household food waste at roughly 78 million
tonnes in 2022 second only to China in absolute
terms while a significant proportion of the population
continues to go without adequate nutrition. Globally,
the same report placed food waste at 1.05 billion
tonnes, close to a fifth of all food available to
consumers, with households accounting for around
60% of it. Hunger, in this context, is less a failure of
agriculture than a failure of logistics and access.
The Company''s food distribution programme
is a direct, if modest, response to that failure.
During FY 2025-26, the Company undertook
food distribution activities for underprivileged
communities. The intent is straightforward: to place
nutrition in the hands of those who would otherwise
go without it, in the communities in and around
which the Company operates.
For a business built on supply chains, the logic
is a familiar one. Availability without access is not
availability at all.
Renovation of K. M. Haji Bachooali ENT Hospital
Quality healthcare depends not only on skilled
medical professionals but also on safe and functional
healthcare infrastructure. During FY 2025-26, the
Company supported renovation works at K. M. Haji
Bachooali ENT Hospital to improve the usability,
safety and overall functionality of the facility.
The project is expected to enhance the hospital''s
ability to serve the surrounding communities that
depend upon it for accessible healthcare services,
thereby contributing to improved healthcare
infrastructure and patient experience.
World Environment Day 2026 -"Every Yarn
Carries a Greener Commitment"
As part of its World Environment Day 2026 initiatives,
the Company organised a Clothes Donation Drive
through which collected garments for redistribution
to underserved rural communities. Jute sling bags
were distributed as tokens of appreciation to
encourage sustainable alternatives.
The Company also collaborated with G South Ward
of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)
and the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Pier Tiara to
create a public art installation along the Mumbai
Coastal Road, complemented by community
awareness programmes promoting environmental
conservation and responsible resource utilisation.
Further, the Company has shared the Annual Report
pertaining to the Corporate Social Responsibility for
the financial year 2025-2026 as per the applicable
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, the details
of which are mentioned in Annexure 4 which forms

backward integration model and robust infrastructure,

29. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY
ABSORPTION AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE
EARNINGS AND OUTGO:
Sanathan Textiles is deeply committed to sustainable
manufacturing practices, with energy and resource
conservation at the core of its operational philosophy.
Through the adoption of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)
systems, the Company ensures complete recycling of
wastewater, thereby significantly reducing the water
usage and this aligns strongly with environmental
sustainability by reducing freshwater consumption
and ensuring responsible reuse of treated water.
The adoption of Zero Liquid System will be done at
Punjab as well. The use of Global Recycled Standard
(GRS) certified materials further underscores our
commitment to circular economy principles and
efficient resource utilization. To harness renewable
energy, we have installed rooftop solar panels
with an aggregate capacity of 2.35 MW, reducing
dependence on conventional power sources, to the
extent possible. Complementing these efforts are
our tree plantation drives, which help enhance green
cover, regulate local temperatures, and improve
ecosystem balance.
At the forefront of innovation, Sanathan Textiles
also deploys Dope Dyed technology for coloured
yarns, wherein pigments are added directly into
the polymer melt during yarn production. This
method eliminates the need for traditional dyeing
processes, leading to significant water savings
and lower energy consumption. As environmental
awareness grows, many global brands and conscious
consumers are increasingly advocating for yarns
manufactured through such responsible methods,
further validating Sanathan Textiles efforts toward
low impact textile production.
As part of its ongoing efforts toward backward
integration and process optimization, the
Company successfully commissioned a Solid-
State Polymerisation (SSP) plant to produce
high intrinsic viscosity PET chips required for
Technical Textiles Yarn production. This SSP unit is
equipped with a fully automated direct conveying
system, enabling seamless transfer of hot chips
from the SSP unit to the Technical Textiles line. By
eliminating intermediate stages such as cooling,
bagging, conveying, and drying, this innovation
significantly reduces energy consumption and
enhances operational efficiency. The integration
of SSP not only supports quality consistency in
high-performance yarns but also aligns with the
Company''s commitment to energy conservation and
sustainable manufacturing practices.
This sustainability first approach is further exemplified
by our wholly owned subsidiary, Sanathan Polycot
Private Limited, where the upcoming plant in Punjab
will utilize rice husk, a renewable agricultural by¬
product, as a fuel source for heating processes.
This transition to biomass energy not only reduces
carbon emissions but also promotes clean energy
adoption, reinforcing Sanathan Textiles mission to
lead the industry toward a more energy efficient and
environmentally responsible future.
The particulars as required under the provisions of
Section 134(3)(m) of the Companies Act, 2013 read
with Rule 8 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014
in respect of conservation of energy, technology
absorption, foreign exchange earnings and outgo
etc. are furnished in Annexure 3 which forms part
of this Report.
30. VIGIL MECHANISM:
