| Having set up our Indian operations
in the late 80’s, we have throughout stood at
the forefront of technological and business excellence.
The road traveled so far has been highly challenging,
eventful and exciting. Be it the controlled and restricted
business scenario then, we have maintained our leadership
position even in today’s global economy. The challenges
are still aplenty. From supply chain brilliance to delighting
customers to exceeding our various stakeholder aspirations,
the resilient team at Indo Rama is committed to all
these and more.
World over, polyester has established its supremacy
over other manmade fibres (MMFs) even as MMFs have been
offering tough competition to cotton in meeting the
raw material requirements of the industry. Global demand
for polyester is so strong in the world that over the
next 10 years it can be expected to reach 70 million
tonnes from about 35 million tonnes at present.
The global economic turbulence of recent times has impacted
all sectors and all asset classes, throwing up unprecedented
challenges for industries and businesses throughout
the world. Textile and garment exports took a big hit,
with the entire value chain of the industry being severely
impacted. However, aiming for and achieving marked internal
efficiency during this period has taken us to a different
orbit altogether of how we approach and execute things,
ready to take on whatever further challenges come our
way.
Indo Rama will continue to have competitive advantage
based on low cost position, scale, integrated operations
and presence in large and growing global markets. At
Indo Rama, our strategic focus revolves around consistent
value creation through innovation and research, cost
optimization and market expansion, integration, product
mix value addition and quality certification and superior
technology.
Going ahead, we see a future filled with opportunity
and hope. We remain buoyant on the prospects of the
Polyester business with newer and increased applications
of the fibre taking place globally.
With the continued support and cooperation of our long
standing customers, our employees, partners, bankers,
and other associates, we remain committed to make the
most of the future and our efforts should get reflected
in a significantly superior financial and market performance
over the coming years.
