Can textile stocks outperform the benchmark index Nifty 50? A sectoral overview may showcase the factors of growing textile industry in India.

Sector Overview: Textile & Apparel 

The Indian textile industry is one of the major sectors contributing significantly to the country’s GDP, exports, and employment. Currently, India is strategically capitalizing on the opportunities that arise from the US-China trade war. In addition, due to political turmoil in the neighbouring country of Bangladesh, it could benefit India’s Textile Industry and so could be benefiting the textile stocks in India.

  1. The textile and apparel industry contributes 2.3% to India’s GDP, 13% to industrial production, and 12% to exports.
  2. India’s textile exports are expected to reach $65 billion by 2026 and target $100 billion by FY30.

Key Factors: Investing in Textile Stocks

The Indian textile sector presents an interesting long-term investment opportunity, but it comes with both growth potential and risks. Here is a breakdown of key factors that make it attractive for long-term investors. 

1. Sector Growth

The Indian textile and apparel market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10% and reach $350 billion by 2030. A rise in disposable income by the middle class, urbanization, and fashion trends may fuel domestic consumption. Moreover, textile exports are expected to hit $100 billion by 2030 indicating increasing global demand for Indian textiles.

2. Government Policies

The PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) scheme is developing mega textile parks to boost infrastructure and manufacturing. In addition, the 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy encourages foreign investment and technology transfer.

3. Export Demand & Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)

India is the 3rd largest exporter of textiles and apparel, holding a 4.6% global market share. FTAs with UAE, Australia, and upcoming deals with the EU & UK can significantly boost exports.

Top 3 Textile Stocks in 2025

1. Arvind Limited.

Arrow, US Polo Assn., Flying Machine, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger– Do you know these clothing brands? Of course, you are already familiar with such international brands, but what you may not know is that these clothing brands manufacture their products from domestic companies like Arvind Limited. Yes! It is one of India’s leading vertically integrated textile companies. It is a prominent player in denim, woven & knits, garments and advanced materials catering to several domestic and international brands across the globe. Here is the revenue mix for the financial year 2024-

So far, the financial performance of the company is concerned; in Q3 of FY 25, the revenue from operations increased by 10% YoY, and net profit jumped by 12% YoY. In addition, the PAT margin has been consistently growing for the past three consecutive quarters, which is a sign that the company’s financial performance is exhibiting strength. Also, in terms of debt to equity ratio, the company has been reducing its debt significantly over the past few years as solvency improved; the debt to equity ratio has declined from 0.91 in FY20 to 0.37 in FY24.

In the near future, the company is aiming to reach a production capacity of 40 million garments in FY25, growing to ~48-49 million in FY26. Also, the capex for FY25 is expected to be ₹400-₹450 crore, which may enhance the production capacity in the future.
To know more about its financial performance and to understand whether it is a good investing opportunity, read our case study on Arvind Limited.

2. Vedant Fashions Ltd.

The company operating under the brand name – “Manyavar” has successfully brought the fashion trend of wearing traditional Indian attire during weddings or any other festivals back into the trend with its most popular ad campaign “Shaddi hai! Taiyaar Hokar Aaiye”  

Today, ‘Manyavar’ is a category leader in the branded Indian wedding and festive celebration wear market with a pan India presence. The company operates in three different categories:

  • Franchisee-owned exclusive brand outlets (EBOs) 
  • Multi-brand outlets (MBOs), 
  • Large format stores (LFS) 

The company operates on an asset-light, franchisee-owned, franchisee-operated model. Franchisees manage store operations, while the company handles branding and design. There are two franchise models: one where the company covers rental costs (franchisee margin: 18%) and another where the franchisee bears rent (margin: 29.5%). About 60% of revenue comes from stores where the company pays for the lease, enabling a scalable and cost-efficient expansion strategy.

As the financial performance of the company is concerned, its revenue from operations on a standalone basis increased by 7.8% YoY but profit growth took a set-back growing by only 0.2% YoY in the third quarter of FY 25. This is mainly due to muted consumer demand, but the company maintained a high average selling price (AVS) and, with it, reduced advertising expenses, which partially offset the decline in profitability. 

However, the PAT margins of the company have been steadily increasing in the last three consecutive quarters. In terms of the company’s liabilities, it is a debt free company. Also, the company’s cash flow from operations is steadily increasing and has doubled from ₹243 cr in FY 20 to ₹483 cr in FY 24. 
To know more about its financial performance and to understand whether it is a good investing opportunity, read our case study on Vedant Fashions Ltd.

The company is one of the leading textile manufacturers in India, with a presence across the textile value chain. It operates across a wide spectrum from manufacturing yarns to fabric and is one of the few vertically integrated fabric manufacturers that produces fabrics for both tops and bottoms in the apparel segment. However, Yarn contributes largely to the revenue for Vardhman Textiles Ltd. Here is a complete breakdown of the revenue mix for the company in FY 24:

So far, the financial performance is concerned; revenue from operations increased by 5% YoY, but PAT surged by 26% YoY for the third quarter of FY 25.  Also, the company has significantly reduced its liabilities in the last few years, where the debt to equity ratio declined from 0.78 in FY 15 to 0.20 in FY 24.  In terms of valuation, the p/e ratio on a trailing twelve months basis stands at 13.59 compared to the industry p/e ratio of 43.91 signifies undervaluation at current level. 

To know more about its financial performance and to understand whether it is a good investing opportunity, read our case study on Vardhman Textiles Ltd.
