Due to the accumulated losses, your Directors are not in a position to recommend Dividend in this year.
High input cost and low recovery price in Textile business: Huge increase in Raw material prices - Cotton reached its peak prices which destabilized the entire Textiles supply chain. In addition, the labour, electricity and general administration costs have also increased manifold. This severely affected your company since our customers were not able to absorb the increase in price.
Low selling prices due to high imports from China: There has been very high imports of material at a very low cost which brought the selling prices of Synthetic blended yarns to drastically low price. The government has implemented Quality Control Orders (QCO) against anti dumping of yarns and fabrics from China and other countries. We are positive this move will help over the current year in potentially better selling prices of our yarns.
Decline in Sales/ Demand- Our key selling markets has been very dull as they majority of Apparel manufacturers have sluggishness in export markets. Owing to war situations, the quantities and demand for Finished products has been slower. Due to lack of export orders, most mills have been selling yarns in the domestic market with excess supply. This in turn has affected the supply chain of yarn and fabrics.
Overall the Textile industry has been going through turmoil for the past decade. High raw material prices, high imports of cheap yarns and fabrics, economic downturn and recessions scenarios across major buying markets of Europe, North America etc. has disrupted the total industry resulting in to many textile factories closing their operations due to a very slow and sluggish demand for yarns.
Your company has planned to monetize the Assets, mainly the lands, which are not put in to optimal usage. Accordingly, in Dec 2025 Quarter, the Company revalued the Fixed Assets, especially the lands in Chennai as well as in Arni, and necessary entries were passed in the books of Accounts as per Ind-As, standard accounting practice. To move in this direction, necessary amendments in the objects clause of Memorandum of Association need to be undertaken and the same is placed for approval.
We are hopeful FY 2026-2027 will have a positive outlook as the government has made some policy changes regarding Imports and Anti Dumping duties in certain Textile products. With some stability in raw material pricing and improved export demand, we can expect a much better performance.
5. CURRENT YEAR: The demand for the yarn and price realization at the beginning of the current year are good. Your Directors are doing their best to improve the performance to a reasonable level.

5. TRADE PROSPECT AND OUTLOOK
Overall the Textile industry has been going through turmoil for the past two years. High raw material prices,
high imports of cheap yarns and fabrics, economic downturn and recessions scenarios across major buying
markets of Europe of North America and Europe has disrupted the industry. Despite many companies closing
operations temporarily, there has been very slow demand for yarns this financial year.
High Raw material prices - Cotton reached its peak prices of Rs.115,000 Per candy which destabilized the
entire Textiles supply chain. This affected us drastically as our consumers were not able to absorb the
increase in prices.
Low selling prices due to high imports from China. There has been very high imports of material at very low
costs which has pushed the selling prices of Synthetic blended yarns drastically low. The government has
implemented Quality Control Orders (QCO) against anti dumping of yarns and fabrics from China and other
countries. We are positive this move will help over the current year in potentially better selling prices of our
yarns.
Decline in Sales/ Demand- Our key selling markets has been very dull as they majority of Apparel manufacturers
have sluggishness in export markets. Owing to war situations in Europe and North America, the quantities
and demand for Finished products has been slower. Due to lack of export orders, most mills have been
selling yarns in the domestic market with excess supply. This in turn has affected the supply chain of yarn and
fabrics.
We are hopeful FY 2025-2026 will have a positive outlook as the government has made some policy changes
regarding Imports and Anti Dumping duties in certain Textile products. With some stability in raw material
pricing and improved export demand, we can expect a much better performance.
6. CURRENT YEAR
The demand for the yarn and price realization at the beginning of the current year are good. Your Directors are
doing their best to improve the performance to a reasonable level.
7. DIRECTORS LIABLE TO RETIRE BY ROTATION

The Board of Directors of Sri Lakshmi Saraswathi Textiles (Arni) Limited at their meeting held on 29th April 2022 approved the Scheme of Arrangement between Sri Lakshmi Saraswathi Textiles (Arni) Limited (Demerged Company) and SLST Industries Limited (Resulting Company) and their Respective members pursuant to the provisions of Section 232 read with Section 230 and all other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Pursuant to the approval of the Scheme of arrangement by the Board Directors, the Company has submitted Application for getting In-Principle approval from BSE on 13th May 2022. The Company has received In-principle approval from BSE on 01st August 2023 and submitted application to NCLT, Chennai for its approval.
Overall the Textile industry has been going through turmoil for the past two years. High raw material prices, high imports of cheap yarns and fabrics, economic downturn and recessions scenarios across major buying markets of Europe of North America and Europe has disrupted the industry. Despite many companies closing operations temporarily, there has been very slow demand for yarns this financial year.
High Raw material prices - Cotton reached its peak prices of Rs.115,000 Per candy which destabilized the entire Textiles supply chain. This affected us drastically as our consumers were not able to absorb the increase in prices.
Low selling prices due to high imports from China. There has been very high imports of material at very low costs which has pushed the selling prices of Synthetic blended yarns drastically low. The government has implemented Quality Control Orders (QCO) against anti dumping of yarns and fabrics from China and other countries. We are positive this move will help over the current year in potentially better selling prices of our yarns.
Decline in Sales/ Demand- Our key selling markets has been very dull as they majority of Apparel manufacturers have sluggishness in export markets. Owing to war situations in Europe and North America, the quantities and demand for Finished products has been slower. Due to lack of export orders, most mills have been selling yarns in the domestic market with excess supply. This in turn has affected the supply chain of yarn and fabrics.
We are hopeful FY 2024-2025 will have a positive outlook as the government has made some policy changes regarding Imports and Anti Dumping duties in certain Textile products. With some stability in raw material pricing and improved export demand, we can expect a much better performance.

TRADE PROSPECT AND OUTLOOK
As reported in the previous annual report the performance during the year under review was strained. The spinning industry faced unprecedented problems in many fronts. The inconsistent policy followed by Government of India on the export of cotton pushed the cost of cotton consumed during the year to highest level. The restrictions placed by Government on the export of yarn lowered the yarn price. There was no parity between the cost of cotton consumed and yarn prices. The power availability from State grid was low. Mills to maintain capacity utilization were compelled to buy power from third parties at high cost. The measures taken by Reserve Bank of India to contain the inflation pushed up the cost of borrowing to higher level. This has resulted in poor performance of all mills and your mill was not an exception.
CURRENTYEAR
The performance during the current year is showing improvement. The cotton price remained steady and the yam prices also remain at reasonable level. Your Directors are doing their best to maintain the performance at a reasonable level.
