The company counters this through **cost-reduction initiatives** and **aggressive marketing** to maintain market share. **Macroeconomic Headwinds:** The company notes a **3% YoY decline** in Indian textile exports (to **$34.4 billion**) in FY 2023-24. To mitigate this, the company is pivoting toward government-backed schemes like **PLI (₹10,683 Crore allocation)** and **MITRA (Mega Investment Textile Parks)**. --- ### **Governance & Compliance Standards** * **Accounting Standards:** Financials are prepared under **Ind AS 108**.
