The overall performance of the Knitwear Business had declined over the past years because of various
reasons. The knitwear unit/factory (herein after referred as “Garment Division”) is located on freehold
land of 15.65 acres including utilities. The Garment Division was set up in the year 1995. The Garment
Division was initially setup to cater exclusively to the export market. Over the years, it sold portion of
the production in the local market through third party outlets as well as under Company’s own brand
names. Specialised garmenting machines like fabric dyeing, knitting and other miscellaneous machines
have been shifted to Mills Division of the Company, at Gokak Falls, Karnataka in the year 2015-16. Only
cutting and stitching facility is being carried out at Knitwear Unit at Marihal. Now the cutting and
stitching facilities has shifted to Mills Division of the Company, at Gokak Falls, Karnataka.
As intimated to BSE Limited in earlier letters, following the closure of the Garment Division, the land,
building, plant and machinery of the Division will be sold/disposed-off, after all necessary regulatory and
statutory approvals are obtained.
