According to reports from Business Standard and latest exchange filings, Sanathan Textiles is in the final phase of executing its capacity expansion initiative at the Silvassa facility. The company is expanding its Technical Textiles yarn manufacturing capacity from 9,000 MTPA to 18,000 MTPA, representing a significant increase in production capabilities. As per the company's latest update, civil works at the Silvassa facility have been completed, and the requisite plant and machinery, including yarn spinning machines sourced from Rieter Barmag of Germany, have been installed. The expansion doubles the company's Technical Textiles capacity to 18,000 MTPA, strengthening its presence in a higher-value segment that generally offers better pricing and stronger entry barriers than conventional polyester and cotton yarns.
The company expects to commission the expanded capacity and commence commercial production in August 2026. This timeline positions the expansion for completion within the current financial year, with commercial production expected to begin in August 2026. With civil works completed and machinery installed, the project is now in its final execution phase, limiting further execution risk for this phase of the expansion. The upgraded facility is equipped with Rieter Barmag, Germany yarn spinning machines, strengthening the company's technical textile manufacturing capabilities. The doubling of capacity will allow Sanathan Textiles to capture a larger share of India's rapidly growing technical textiles market, which is supported by favorable government policies like the National Technical Textiles Mission.
The increased capacity is intended to support Sanathan Textiles' integrated manufacturing platform and its ability to address evolving market requirements across multiple high-value sectors. Technical textile yarns from the expanded facility will be used in applications spanning automotive, agriculture, defence, infrastructure, roads and railways, sportswear, healthcare, industrial safety, and protective end-uses such as fire-retardant wear. This strategic positioning aligns with India's growing demand for indigenous manufacturing of specialised yarns and fabrics, particularly in defence and infrastructure sectors where self-reliance in strategic materials is increasingly emphasised. The higher capacity is expected to reinforce Sanathan Textiles' integrated manufacturing platform while enabling it to respond more effectively to changing market demand. The Silvassa facility serves both domestic and export markets due to its proximity to western ports, complementing the company's other major plant in Punjab.
The expansion comes as Sanathan Textiles demonstrates robust financial growth, with revenue increasing nearly 60 percent year-on-year to ₹1,169 crore in Q4 FY26, while operating profit improved to ₹94 crore from ₹68 crore a year earlier. For FY26, revenue rose about 27 percent to ₹3,811 crore, reflecting healthy demand across its product portfolio. However, profitability remains under pressure from higher financing and depreciation costs following recent capacity additions, with interest expense surging to ₹107 crore from ₹25 crore in FY25 and depreciation nearly doubling to ₹93 crore, resulting in net profit declining to ₹77 crore from ₹160 crore despite higher revenue. In May 2026, the company reported full-year FY26 standalone revenue from operations at ₹3,037.9 crore compared to ₹2,996.8 crore in FY25, with standalone net profit increasing to ₹191.9 crore from ₹174.5 crore, registering a 10% year-on-year growth.
