GHCL Textiles has started commercial production at its new fully automatic Meenakshi section at the Paravai unit in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, effective July 2, 2025. The new section adds 25,536 ring spindles, taking total capacity to 2,24,976 ring spindles — a ~12.8% increase. The company has already invested Rs. 215 crore in this expansion, funded entirely through internal accruals (no debt taken). The existing capacity was running at 99% utilization, indicating strong demand, which justifies the expansion for business growth.
Positive for shareholders — debt-free capacity addition at a time of near-full utilization signals confidence in demand and should support future revenue growth. The 12-13% capacity boost may gradually improve volumes, though investors should watch for margin trends as the new unit ramps up.
