Our M&A strategy as mainstay of business growth is well known. The rapid changes in business landscape, the rising global opportunities and need to lead competition from the front have fuelled our endeavor for rapid growth through inorganic route. Although we have completed Brownfield projects at our units at Baramati and Solapur, but we are open to Greenfield projects also.

Our experience with Schoeller and IRTL acquisition has been an exemplification of business prudence. Schoeller posses a strong European brand name with penetration in the niche market while IRTL facilitated our foray in synthetic and blended yarn business. Putting together, our competitiveness has increased manifold.
