RSWM’s Q4 recovery reflects broader textile sector resilience…
India’s leading textile player RSWM Limited, a part of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, reported a consolidated profit of Rs 1.6 crore for the fourth quarter of FY25, marking a turnaround from losses in previous quarters. The quarterly revenue stood at Rs 1,256 crore, reflecting a 7.2% year-on-year (YoY) rise and a 5% increase quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), fuelled by improved volumes and realisations.
EBITDA for Q4 surged 44.8% YoY to Rs 79 crore, aided by stringent cost control and operational efficiencies. Margins improved by 163 basis points to 6.2%.
On an annual basis, RSWM clocked revenue of Rs 4,825 crore in FY25, up 18.9% YoY, while EBITDA grew a robust 76.8% YoY to Rs 233 crore. Though the company posted a net loss of Rs 41 crore for the fiscal, it reflects significant improvement in operating performance compared to FY24’s profit of Rs 35 crore, attributed to focused investments in sustainability and product innovation.
Panchtatva and Strategic Collaborations Boost Innovation
Key highlights of FY25 include the launch of the ‘Panchtatva’ initiative, a unique textile innovation platform inspired by nature’s five elements. The program aligns with the Government of India’s Mission LiFE, blending ancient Indian wisdom with modern sustainable textile technologies.
RSWM also entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Birla Cellulose (Grasim Industries) and TACC Limited to develop graphene-enhanced functional textiles. The initiative aims to create high-performance fabrics with better strength, breathability, and conductivity, positioning RSWM at the forefront of technical textiles.
Diversification into Sustainable Energy
Expanding beyond textiles, RSWM took a strategic step towards energy diversification by signing a Share Subscription and Shareholders Agreement with Bhilwara Energy Limited (BEL) and other stakeholders. This includes a ₹250 crore investment by Singularity Fund, supporting RSWM’s foray into the renewable energy space.
