CHAIRMAN’S SPEECH
DELIVERED BY DR. RIKHAB C. JAIN ON
THE OCCASION OF 47th ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING OF T.T.LIMITED HELD ON
THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST, 2026 AT 11.00 AM
VIRTUALLY THROUGH AUDIO / VIDEO
Sisters, Brothers & Fellow Stakeholders,
Welcome to the 47th Annual General Meeting of T T Limited.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of T.T. Limited, I thank you for joining us
virtually today. Your presence is indeed a true testimony to your involvement
with, and support for the Company.
I warmly welcome all our shareholders, Directors, and Management to the 47th
Annual General Meeting of T.T. Limited.
Friends, last year was not a particularly remarkable year, as the world witnessed
several major disturbances, like the continuing Russia–Ukraine War, the Israel–
Lebanon–Palestine conflict and the USA tariff impact. The year ended with the
biggest impact being the West Asia war that lead to major disruption in business.
These events created significant challenges for nations across the globe,
disrupted international institutions, caused fuel shortages in many countries,
blocked major trade routes and created unprecedented inflation happened
across the value chain.
The cumulative impact was high inflation driven by war-related disruptions, fuel
shortages, shipping difficulties, supply chain disruptions, international buyers
diverting orders and rising prices of essential consumer goods. The markets
remained volatile, they were neither completely stable nor severely depressed.
In India, cotton prices increased, fibre prices rose, and the Indian Rupee
weakened against the US Dollar. These factors pushed up production costs.
Unfortunately, due to intense competition among Indian brands, as well as
competition from foreign companies, international brands, global retailers, and
large Indian business houses and others competition intensified Manufacturers
have been unable to “pass on” increased costs to consumers due to supply glut
and consumption slow down.
Years back, many large business houses had gradually moved away from the
textile industry because of low profit margins and intense competition. Now they
have realigned with apparel brands. Hundreds of spinning mills have been closed
down. Today, the power loom and handloom sectors are also struggling for
survival, with little or no growth. The hosiery industry is facing similar challenges
due to increasing competition from foreign brands and aggressive competition
within the domestic market.
contd….p/2
Foreign brands continue to earn substantial profits despite paying franchise
royalties. Ironically, many of their products are manufactured in India by
companies like ours, yet they are sold at huge premiums due to the international
brand fancy. The difference in production cost is relatively small, arising mainly
from marginally better quality control and the use of slightly superior material
processing.
These foreign brands do not always spend heavily on advertising. Instead, they
benefit from the widespread perception among Indian consumers that foreign
brands are inherently superior. Many consumers prefer foreign labels even if
they have never heard of the brand, do not know its country of origin, or are
unaware of where the products are actually manufactured. This mindset persists
despite the efforts of our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, through
initiatives such as "Vocal for Local" and "Make in India," which encourage self-
reliance and the promotion of Indian products. Be Swadeshi, buy only Swadeshi
Brands.
This situation has become even more challenging because the textile industry
has been carrying excess inventory in the distribution channel for almost two
years. Consequently, most businesses are trying to liquidate old stock.
Manufacturers are purchasing raw materials at significantly higher prices but
are forced to sell finished products at almost the same prices as before. This has
created a paradoxical situation where rising input costs cannot be recovered,
severely affecting the profitability and sustainability of the textile industry.
The situation has been further impacted by the continuous increase in cotton
prices over the last two to three years due to successive increases in the MSP
announced by the Government. As a result, Indian yarn has become less
competitive in the global market, leading to substantial slowdown in export
orders.
Friends, Your Company has now realized that we need to undertake significant
transformation, implement reforms, and enhance our overall performance.
Recently, we organized consultations with experts from various fields. Based on
their valuable inputs, a comprehensive action plan for the Company's reforms
and future growth has been meticulously designed.
The strategy includes restructuring our garments and textiles product portfolio
by focusing on the production of high-value, premium products while reducing
the share of low-end items. Greater emphasis will be placed on premium
garments (both upper and lower wear) for men and women, along with innovative
printed designs. This strategic shift will enable the Company to achieve better
product realization and improved profit margins.
At the same time, the Company has decided to renew its focus on exports. Export
performance has declined since 2020, primarily because nearly 50% of our yarn
exports were destined for China, which has now almost completely ceased
importing yarn from India. The UK, Europe, FTA will push garment export to
these nations many times as it would neutralize preferential low tariff to LDC
(Least Developed Countries) like Bangladesh. US BTA is also expected to be done
shortly.
Contd…..p/3
This would open new doors for our exports. The Govt has set a target of USD 100
billion exports by 2031 against current levels of USD 37-38 billion. The Company
has in last 6 months started selling in Middle East and Nepal its garments under
TT Brand and is expected to launch the brand in Africa very soon.
The Company’s new factory in Bengal is now running at almost full capacity and
the Company plans to double it’s inhouse capacity in the next 6 months. Both
units have been installed with solar power to reduce energy costs and the same
is expected to be in operations by Q2 2026-27
Further in response to these challenges, your Company has decided to diversify
its business into new growth sectors. The Company plans to make a beginning
in areas such as venture capital financing, the energy sector, and the retail
industry through the establishment of Company-owned retail stores and
franchise outlets under the name of TT Bazaar.
The Company also plans to expand the T.T. Bazaar online portal by opening it to
third-party vendors. The platform will no longer be limited to clothing products
but will allow vendors from various categories to sell their products online,
thereby creating a comprehensive multi-vendor marketplace.
In addition, your Company is strengthening its presence across multiple
marketing channels beyond the
