Q: What is driving the double-digit volume growth in the denim and domestic business, and how sustainable is it in the near to mid-term? A: Punit Lalbhai, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board, explained that the growth reflects full capacity utilization in denim for the first time in a long time. The growth is expected to continue vertically, with a focus on garmenting expansion rather than fabric alone. The product mix in woven fabrics has improved, contributing to growth despite flat realizations due to cotton price adjustments.
