continuous waste collection system
from Batliboi Ltd. In carding section
(DK-740 Cards), it has increased the
capacity of multi slub yarn from 3
ring frames to 6 ring frames.
Contamination scanners for re-
moval of coloured contaminations
and also white polyethylene / poly-
propylene have been installed in all
blow room lines. The autoleveller
in Rieter’s draw frames are being
replaced with the latest AC Drive
from the present DC Drive autolev-
ellers for better quality performance.
In existing speed frames the draft-
ing system is being modernised by
replacing the old with latest 5025
Drafting from Texparts, Germany.
Fully automatic cots buffng ma-
chine installed for consistent and
improved quality with better life.
With these efforts, the company
will enjoy the beneft of improved
quality, productivity and saving in
manufacturing costs. The company
will project its image in the world
market as a manufacturer of world
class yarn and achieve an excellent

Garden Silk Mills’
capacity expansion
Garden Silk Mills Ltd. has en-
hanced its continuous polymeri-
zation (CP) capacity by 250 TPD
on successful commissioning of
CP plants 4-5. The company has
also increased its yarn processing
capacity by installing additional
draw warping and air texturising
machines. This will help the com-
pany consume its captive POY
production to supply value-added
yarns to the markets. It is also in
the process of increasing its POY/
FDY capacities.
Garden Silk Mills is undertak-
ing further expansion of draw
texturising and air texturising
capacities which are expected to
be fnanced under the Technol-
ogy Upgradation Fund Scheme
(TUFS).
The company has been continu-
ously focusing on technology and
process upgradation to produce
new value-added specialty prod-
ucts. The expansion of polymeri-
zation capacity and the ongoing
expansion of PFY spinning ca-
pacity will further strengthen the
company’s capability to bring in-
novative products to the market.
In 2010-11, all commodity pric-
es, including petroleum deriva-
tives, increased sharply, and so
did raw material prices and poly-
ester prices. Cotton was in short
supply globally, and prices more
than doubled during the year.
This gave impetus to growth in
demand for competing fber poly-
ester. Polyester prices are weakly
correlated with cotton prices and
does get affected by substantial
changes in cotton prices.
Major investments in PFY con-
tinued to be made in India and
China on the back of sustained
double-digit growth in polyester
yarn demand. In India shortage
of PTA forced polyester chips
producers to operate at lower ca-
pacity yet production grew at a
healthy pace. Demand for PFY
grew by 13 per cent to 2.1 million
tons. Of the total demand, export
demand grew much faster than
the domestic market.
According to CRISIL Research,
demand for polyester staple fbre
(PSF) and partially oriented yarn
(POY) is expected to grow at 7.5
per cent CAGR over the next two
years, driven by rising consump-
tion of blended and non-cotton
yarns. Demand will accelerate
to 9 per cent CAGR after 2012-
13 due to limited availability of
cotton and higher substitution by
polyester.
Exports are expected to grow at
a higher 10-15 per cent between
2011-12 and 2014-15 due to ris-
ing demand from export destina-
tions in Asia, the Middle East,
Europe and Latin America.
