In one of the call, management answered that the maximum capacity of Ambarnath - 1 plant is 150,000, however post that they bought additional land nearby and doing capex there. Can anyone help why they are not utilizing space available at plant-1 first before starting at new one?

The data from SOIC says its 20X increase in PLI for textile. Anyone with better knowledge can suggest what is correct figure.

As per the image, growth its 25x growth, which is equal to 2451% in percentage terms, where’s the confusion?

Ohh…my bad, missed that your image had percentage.
So a good potential for textile sector to grow.
Thanks. Here are a few companies I am tracking in the segment:

  1. FCL
  2. PGIL (Pearl Global)
  3. NITIN SPINNERS
  4. VARDHAMAN TEXTILE
  5. GARWARE TECH
