able in India. A similar trend
will happen in the bleaching
range. We hope to replicate
the success that we had in the
denim industry in the woven
sector also”, he adds.
An interesting diversifica-
tion that Dhall made was
that of acquiring the nickel
screen business of Zimmer
(USA), including the brand.
The company has moved
the entire production facil-
ity to India. Mr. Chopra is
quite happy with this decision and
is planning to double capacity next
year. “We have few more diversi-
fications lined up, including some
acquisitions, which we will an-
nounce shortly”.
In terms of the manufacturing
facility, Dhall has established a
modern facility. The company has
continuously invested in upgrading
its manufacturing facility to match
global standards. “Our facilities
are state-of-the-art with no human
interference in manufacturing.
We are the only manufac-
turer in the world to offer the
complete range of processing
and finishing machines at an
affordable cost”, adds Mr.
Chopra.
Dhall has managed to
bridge the technology gap.
It is working on complete
turnkey projects globally. It
has supplied machines to ma-
ture markets like Japan and
Australia which would’ve
normally preferred European
brands.
Mr. Chopra is very confident
about the future growth prospects
when he says that “the textile indus-
try has great future and we forsee
that we will be a global player in
this segment”.

Dhall clocked a turnover of Rs. 60
crores in 2011-12. The company is
confident of reaching the magical
figure of Rs. 100 crores in turnover
in 2012-13. Growth is expected to
come from both the domestic market
and exports. Longterm target for the
company is to achieve a turnover of
Rs. 200 crores turnover in the next
4 to 5 years.
