Kaytex Fabrics is a fast-fashion fabric partner that turns a brand’s design idea into finished fabric or a ready-to-stitch garment - and does it fast. Founded in 1996 in Amritsar as a traditional textile mill, the company retooled itself around digital printing, computerised embroidery and modern weaving so it could keep pace with the quick-turnaround demands of fashion labels. The recurring approach is to own the whole chain from yarn to finished product, which lets it control quality, cut out middlemen and respond to a trend before it fades.
Business segments
A single integrated fabric-making engine that serves three customer channels - brands, its own labels, and unbranded bulk buyers - all running on the same factory floor.
1. Fabric manufacturing and brand enablement: the factory that doubles as a design studio
The company makes the fabric, prints the design and stitches the garment under one roof, then sells through three distinct channels - so a single production line feeds brands, wholesalers and its own labels.
- Integrated from yarn to dispatch - the company runs weaving, jacquard, digital printing, embroidery, dyeing, processing, finishing and packaging in-house, which means it does not depend on outside processors and can turn orders around faster than a fragmented supply chain.
- Digital printing is the speed lever - using inkjet technology that prints a digital image straight onto fabric, the company skips the screens and setup steps of conventional printing, cutting production time and waste while handling intricate patterns and photographic designs that older methods cannot reproduce.
- A capacity build-out underway - the factory can produce about 1.59 crore metres per annum, and new digital-printing machinery is expected to lift digital capacity alone to 1.4 crore metres per annum, roughly doubling that slice of output.
- Three customer channels, one factory - the business splits into brand-enablement (acting as the fabric-and-design partner for apparel labels so they can focus on their own brand), its own brands (ready-to-stitch suits, co-ord sets and accessories sold under in-house names), and a non-branded bulk channel for wholesalers and retailers who want flexibility and lower cost.
- Mumbai office opens the western and export doors - a dedicated sales and design office in Lower Parel, Mumbai, established in mid-2024, puts the company in front of apparel brands, exporters and institutional buyers in West and South India, and supports a push into menswear and overseas markets.
2. Own brands: the company’s direct line to the North Indian wardrobe
Three in-house labels - Rasiya, Kaytex and Darbaar-e-Khaas - put the company’s fabric into ready-to-stitch suits, shawls and stoles that reach Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns across North India.
- Premium ethnic wear with a digital edge - Rasiya sells digitally printed and embroidered unstitched suits that blend traditional motifs with modern design, aimed at customers who want the look of craftsmanship without the wait.
- Jacquard and shawls under the house name - the Kaytex brand specialises in jacquard-woven fabrics and luxurious shawls, leaning on the company’s in-house weaving capability to create textures that appeal to consumers who value authenticity.
- Value play for the unbranded market - Darbaar-e-Khaas offers unstitched suits and stoles at lower price points, designed specifically for the unbranded markets of North India where affordability drives purchase decisions.
- Rural and semi-urban reach - the own-brand portfolio is built for distribution in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities across Northern India, giving the company a direct presence in markets that bulk fabric sales alone would not reach.
Group structure and partners
A standalone operator with a newly formed export subsidiary and a single related-party supplier that handles a large share of purchases.
- No subsidiaries during the year, one added after - as of March 2025 the company had no subsidiaries, joint ventures or associates; in December 2025 it approved an investment in a proposed wholly owned subsidiary, Kaytex Industries Private Limited, intended to set up a 100% export-oriented textile and garment unit.
- A concentrated related-party purchase relationship - the company bought about ₹1,801 lakhs of goods from Radha Krishna Trading Co., a firm in which directors or key managerial personnel have an interest, making it a significant sourcing relationship.
- Leadership with deep family tenure - Sanjeev Kandhari (Chairman and Managing Director) and Amit Kandhari (Whole-time Director and CFO) together bring over 70 years of combined experience, anchoring the business in the founding family.
