Integrated textile major reports 16.1% YoY EBITDA growth and 2.4x jump in Q1 FY27 PAT, underscoring the value of operational discipline and a diversified product portfolio.
The global textile industry continues to navigate an environment marked by subdued export demand, geopolitical uncertainties and raw material price volatility. Yet, amid these persistent challenges, companies with integrated operations, diversified product offerings and disciplined execution are demonstrating greater resilience.
RSWM Ltd., the flagship textile company of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, has begun FY27 on a positive note, reporting improved profitability despite largely flat revenues. The company’s first-quarter performance reflects a strategy focused on operational efficiency, value-added products and prudent cost management rather than volume-led expansion.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, RSWM reported revenue of ₹1,161 crore, representing a modest sequential growth of 1.7%, while remaining broadly stable year-on-year despite weaker export markets. More significant was the improvement in profitability, with EBITDA increasing 16.1% year-on-year to ₹94 crore, supported by stronger manufacturing efficiencies, an improved product mix and tighter cost controls. Gross margins expanded to 39.8%, while EBITDA margins improved to 8.0%.
The strongest indicator of the company’s operational turnaround came at the bottom line. Profit After Tax (PAT) rose to ₹17 crore, compared with ₹7 crore in the corresponding quarter last year—a 2.4-fold increase that highlights the impact of improved operating leverage and disciplined financial management.
Commenting on the results, Riju Jhunjhunwala, Chairman & Managing Director, attributed the performance to operational excellence, a stronger product mix and RSWM’s integrated manufacturing model. He noted that the company’s continued emphasis on value-added and sustainable products has strengthened its competitive position despite an uncertain global business environment. Looking ahead, the company intends to focus on profitable growth, operational improvements, expansion in high-value segments and deeper customer engagement.
Echoing this outlook, Rajeev Gupta, Joint Managing Director, highlighted agility, innovation and sustainability as the pillars supporting the company’s long-term strategy. He emphasised that investments in enhanced capabilities and differentiated products will help RSWM respond effectively to evolving customer requirements while creating sustainable value for stakeholders.
RSWM continues to leverage one of India’s most diversified textile manufacturing platforms. The company manufactures value-added synthetic, cotton, blended and mélange yarns, denim fabrics, knitted fabrics and green polyester fibre, serving customers in more than 70 countries. Its integrated manufacturing network spans 11 plants, supported by over 5.47 lakh spindles, 178 looms and 96 knitting machines, enabling flexibility across multiple product categories.
The company’s sustainability initiatives also remain central to its business strategy. According to the release, RSWM’s operations contribute to significant water savings, lower carbon emissions and the recycling of approximately five million PET bottles every day, reflecting the growing integration of environmental responsibility into textile manufacturing.
