Following the subdivision, the subscribed and paid-up capital of the company, currently comprising 50,911,011 ordinary shares of Rs10 each, will be subdivided into 509,110,110 ordinary shares of Rs1 each. “This move is expected to encourage wider investor participation and strengthen the company’s presence in the equity market,” it said. The company also shared that its newly established garment unit, having built infrastructure for manufacturing 17,000 garments per day per shift, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of the ongoing financial year, i.e. by September 30, 2025. “In the first phase, production with an estimated capacity of 5,000 garments per day per shift will be started. This will enable the company to reap the benefits of vertical integration. The apparel division will complement the dyeing division of the company by offering finished products to the customers,” it said.
