Governance

Watch-list & priority actions

Arvind · Board Pack · 5 · Risk & Actions
Americas export margin driftceo
Export–Americas GM ~150bps below plan on tariff uncertainty + freight.
Tilt mix to Europe/Asia; accelerate value-added & garment-program share in the Americas book.
AMD + garment programs pulling mix upceo
Advanced Materials and multi-year garment programs lifting the value-added mix toward 38%.
Prioritize AMD capex & garment line ramp (37M→60M pieces) to compound margin.
3 divisions running DSO > 58 dayscfo
Garments (56d), AMD–Human Protection (60d) and Composites (64d) lifting blended DSO.
Collections sprint on ₹120 Cr aged AR; tighten export-LC and milestone billing on AMD programs.
Cotton price exposure on margincfo
Firm Shankar-6 prices + overdue AR pressuring near-term gross margin.
Extend forward cotton cover; reforecast H2 margin net of input inflation.
Deleveraging on trackcfo
Net Debt/EBITDA 1.44x vs 3.0x covenant; liquidity ₹1,150 Cr.
Headroom to fund the ₹450–500 Cr/yr capex (AMD + garmenting) without stressing the balance sheet.
Sustainability savings behind planboard
Cost & sustainability savings at 74% of plan; renewables/water programs lagging.
Hold a 90-day recovery plan on energy & water programs; track coal-out-by-2029 milestones.
Value-chain shift validating thesisboard
AMD revenue and garment programs expanding blended margin ~bps QoQ.
Thesis intact; continue disciplined capex into Advanced Materials & branded/value-added fabric.
Value-added mix below 45% targetboard
Value-added mix 37.6% vs 45% strategic target; commodity denim still dilutive.
Push branded/value-added denim, garment programs and AMD attach across the customer base.
