Says Mr. R Vasudevan, Head, CRISIL Ratings, “Yarn manufacturers are likely to resume capacity expansion from 2011-12 to meet the increasing demand: the fact that players have been operating at more than 90 per cent of capacity from 2009-10 implies that fresh additions to capacity will be necessary if they are to meet the expected demand.” Debt funding of capex will result in deterioration of players' capital structure. Adds Mr.Vasudevan, “Strong operating cash flows underpinned by healthy demand and robust margins will support spinners' financial risk profiles, and players that fund capex with a prudent debt-equity mix are likely to have their ratings upgraded in the next 12 to 18 months”.
