| Upon incorporation the company had a single
unit at Industrial Area, Banswara for manufacturing synthetic
yarns. Over the years the company has expanded, modernized
and diversified its activities in a phased manner. In
this process, the company set up three more units, two
at Banswara and one at Daman. The installed capacity of
the company at all the units as on 30th June, 2006 was
as under:- |
| RAW MATERIALS
Spinning:
The major raw materials used by the company are Viscose
Staple Fibre, Polyester Staple Fibre, Acrylic Staple
Fibre, Cotton, Lycra, etc. Viscose staple fibre is purchased
from Grasim Industries Ltd, Nagda, Polyester staple
fibre is sourced from Reliance Industries Ltd., Acrylic
Staple Fibre is procured from IPCL and Pasupati Acrylon
Ltd. Cotton, being a seasonal crop, is procured from
various centers in the country during the harvest season.
Lycra is not available in the domestic market; it is
imported from DuPont, Singapore.
Weaving:
For weaving activity, the company is mostly using the
yarn manufactured in-house.
Garmenting:
For garmenting also, the company is using the fabrics
manufactured at its own weaving division.
POWER
The company meets major part of its power requirement
for its units situated at Banswara through in-house
generation. It is having 9.75 MW fuel oil based power
plants, besides 19937 KVA diesel generating sets. The
balance requirement of power is sourced from the State
Electricity Board. In view of the increase in the cost
of generation due to abnormal hike in the furnace oil
prices, now the company is in the process of setting
up a 18 MW thermal power plant, which would meet entire
power requirement of all three units situated at Banswara
from 2007 onwards.
In case of Garment unit at Daman, power is adequately
available at reasonable rate, hence power requirement
is fully sourced from the Electricity Board.
