The last financial year saw slow demand for the polyester industry in India as well as overseas. The industry faced lots of economic challenges in term of squeezing of margin due to the high prices of raw material along with the interrupted supply. The last financial year witnessed one of the worst phases for the rupee and fluctuation in the crude oil prices have led to the squeezing of margins. However these prices weren’t passed to the customers thus forcing the margins to be lower. 
 
India has low per capita man-made fibre consumption at 3.0 kg per annum, as against the global average of 8 kg per annum. This indicates the untapped potential for the polyester manufacturers, providing scope to grow positively in the coming time. Indo Rama has demonstrated its resilience in the challenging economic times last year in the adverse conditions. We have also taken some cost improvement initiatives, which will further add to our competitiveness. With the Polyester prices bottoming out and rupee stabilizing, we expect the sentiments and performance to improve from here.
