The company’s sales increased by 11%, from Rs76.3 billion last year to Rs84.7 billion in this year. AHL Research has attributed the increase in standalone sales to rupee depreciation, increase in prices of value-added products and improvement of export demand.
According to Topline Research, key risks for the company are prolonged rupee stability, poor cotton crop, increase in regulatory duties on imported raw material and commodity volatility.
