It gives me great pleasure and sense of pride in seeing your Company entering its landmark
25th years. Your continued support and faith in your Company has helped it reach this far.
With a vision to emerge as a leading player in the global textile industry, your Company
started off its operations in 1986 as a small venture promoted by a group of people who had
only their passion and entrepreneurial ability to bank on. Your company is now in its Silver
Jubilee year as a leading integrated textile enterprise with a significant presence on the
cotton and polyester segments.
I am seeing a world of opportunity for your company to carve out a greater share in the textile
industry, especially in the technical textile and work wear space and your company will
spare no effort in asserting itself as a dominant player in this segment too.
This year and the next should also see your company deriving benefits of additional cash
flows through sale of its realty projects .
On the eve of the completion of 25 years, I wish to reiterate that your company remains on a
firm growth trajectory and your unwavering support will enable it to scale greater heights in
the years to come.
I thank every one of you for your tremendous commitment and look forward to your
continued support.
Dilip B. Jiwrajka
Managing Director
I am delighted to share my thoughts with you on the occasion of the 25th year of your
company.
This is a special time in our company's history as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. We
were incorporated on March 12, 1986, and have spent these years continuing to build our
brand, which stands for our commitment to deliver Integrated Textile Solutions.
There are quite a few employees who have been with us since the beginning.
There's a reason why they are still there. It's the culture at Alok where the emphasis is on
personal development. It's the growth, change and flexibility they been able to enjoy over
the years. People are positive and the feel of each location is positive.
Alok is indeed a remarkable company.
Looking ahead, we are focused on accelerating the execution of our growth strategy,
especially on the polyester side, while continuing to build on the strength of our brand. We
will continue with our endeavour in helping our customers achieve high performance while
bringing about a positive change to the environment in which we work and live. I am excited
about this journey and truly believe the best of Alok is yet to come.
We thank you for your support and co-operation demonstrated thus far and are proud to
work with you towards a shared future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Economic Overview
World
Economic activity in most developing countries is back on a high growth momentum. Supported by resurgence in international
and domestic financial flows and higher commodity prices, most of the spare capacity in developing countries that was created
by the crisis has been reabsorbed, and developing countries have regained trend growth rates close to those observed in
the pre-crisis period. Chart A shows that economic output growth in emerging developing economies improved from 2.7% in
calendar year (CY) 2009 to 7.3% in CY2010.
In contrast, the recovery in many high income countries (and
several economies in developing Europe and Central Asia)
has not been strong enough to make major inroads into
high unemployment and spare capacity. Prospects in these
economies, many of which were at the centre of the financial
boom and bust, continue to be weighed down by banking
sector restructuring, high consumer debt and a right-sizing
of economic sectors that grew unsustainably large during the
boom period. Having said so, driven primarily by resurgence
in the world’s largest economy – USA – advanced economies
recovered from a 3.4% drop in economic output in CY2009
to a 3% growth in CY2010. Consequently, global economic
output increased by 5% in CY2010 against a drop of – 0.5%
in CY2009. Source: International Monetary Fund (IMF)
The robust recovery in developing countries is even more remarkable because it mainly reflects an expansion of their internal
markets. Developing countries are not just leading the recovery. Increasingly they are an important source of stability, with
many of the risks to global growth centred in high-income countries and reflecting as yet unresolved imbalances generated by
the boom period. Very low policy-induced interest rates in high – income countries plus better growth prospects in developing
countries prompted a strong recovery in capital flows, mainly to middle-income countries. Overall net private capital flows to
developing countries expanded 44% in CY2010, but remain well below record 2007 levels. For most countries, the increase
in flows was beneficial, helping to finance growth enhancing investment.
Strong growth of domestic demand in developing countries
will continue to lead the world economy. Developing countries
domestic demand is playing a major role in the recovery,
representing 46% of global growth in 2010.
While, overall, indicators are positive, there are some
concerns with the global economy as well, which in the
short-run could de-rail the recovery to differing degrees. The
market concerns over debt sustainability in Europe continue
to escalate. Continued very low interest rates in high income
countries once again prompt large and volatile flows of capital
toward developing countries that contribute to destabilizing
movements in exchange rates, commodity prices, and asset-
prices.
Commodities prices, especially of food and oil have increased Source: World Bank Estimates
sharply in some poor countries; and if international prices
continue to rise, affordability issues and poverty impacts
could intensify.
Chart B shows that on average both non-oil commodity and oil prices increased by over 27% in CY2010, while they have
declined in CY2009.
India
The Indian economy continued to grow appreciably –
recording 8.5% growth in 2010-11 on the back of 8% growth
in 2009-10. Chart C shows the quarterly growth since Q1
2008-09. It is apparent that there has been steady growth
at well over 8% since Q4, 2009-10. And, this trend had
continued through the first 3 quarters of 2010-11. However,
there has been a slight slowdown in the fourth quarter.
The slowdown is a reflection of certain uncertainties
prevailing in the Indian economy. First, there is high rate of
inflation. Much of this inflation is driven by high prices of food,
which being an essential commodity has curbed general
consumption spending in the country. In the process, demand Source: Central Statistical Organisation, Government of India
has reduced affecting economic growth.
Second, there is a concern with rising rates of interest. In order
to curb inflation rates from spiralling upward, the Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) has tightened monetary policies. The
resultant reduction in money supply has caused an increase
in interest rates. On the consumer front, such interest rate
increase affect automobile and housing purchases, as most
of it is done through credit. These are two important customer
segments for AIS. Such high rates of inflation have a negative
impact on investments. And, a slowdown in investments at
the macro-level may lead to lower economic growth in the
future. Chart D shows that WPI based inflation has remained
at levels over 8% for most of the period since March 2010.
And, in line with this increase the benchmark reverse repo
Source: Office of Economic Advisor, Govt of India rate has increased steadily over the period.
Textiles, Clothing and Fibre Industry
Global Developments
World consumption of textile fibres increased in the past two years and hit record levels in CY2010. A shortfall of cotton
saw a sharp jump in cotton prices in 2010. After a 7% decline in 2008 in the aftermath of the global economic crisis, world
fibre consumption increased by 4% in CY 009 and by 5% in CY2010, according to data from the European Manmade Fibre
Association (CIRFS), the International Wool Textile Organisation (IWTO) and the International Cotton Advisory Committee
(ICAC). Estimates suggest that world fibre consumption was 75,100 million kilograms (mkg) in 2010, which is 2,000 mkg
above the pre-crisis levels of CY2007.
While in CY2009, growth was mainly driven by a 9% increase in consumption of cotton, in 2010, cotton consumption rose by
only 3% as it was replaced by polyester staples when cotton prices surged upwards rapidly. In fact, in CY2010, growth was
driven by synthetic fibres – synthetic staple fibre consumption increased by 6% to 16,600 mkg, while synthetic filament fibre
consumption increased by 8% to 28,200 mkg.
The two leading importers of apparel and textiles – USA and EU –
witnessed growth in imports. Chart E shows that the imports of textile
and apparel products to the US increased from US$ 81 bn in 2009 to
US$ 93 bn in 2010 – growth of 15%, while in the EU imports increased
by 6.6% from US$ 215 bn in 2009 to US$ 229 bn in 2010.
On the supply and production front, there were different trends for
various textile fibres in CY2010. Different production decisions were
responses to the cotton price upsurge and the inevitable substitution
of cotton by cheaper polyester staples. Cotton prices were expected
to increase in 2010-11. According to the International Cotton Advisory
Committee (ICAC), world cotton production had declined by 7% in 2009-10 with drop in production in China and the US – two
of the world’s three largest cotton producing countries. The global polyester industry, on the other hand, has over capacity
with significant investments in
China in the recent past. However, the sharp rise in cotton prices seen in 2010 resulted in garment manufacturers substituting
cotton with polyester in their fabrics, in particular in shirt fabrics. As a result, the increased polyester production was absorbed
by this higher demand. In contrast to the increased production of polyester, world acrylic fibre production was held back
in CY2010 by a shortage of acrylonitrile (the raw material). This restricted production of acrylic fibre in spite of very strong
demand.
The demand supply situation is well reflected in the price trends. The ‘CotLook A’ index, which is the world cotton price
indicator, increased by 120% in 2010, hitting a record 175.7 US cents/pound (387 USc/kg) in mid – December 2010. Acrylic
fibre prices lifted in response to the higher demand but tight supplies. Polyester prices also rose, but the extent was limited
by increased production and excess production capacity.
Clearly, with the global economic recovery, demand improved for garments and textiles. However, supply side constraints
are the lower end of the value chain in key fibre inputs like cotton and acrylic resulted in severe margin pressures for industry
players in the higher end of the value chain who produce fabric and garments.
India
The Indian textiles and apparel market, both domestic and exports, continues to grow. In 2010, the total Indian textiles and
apparel market was estimated to be around ` 3,68,000 crore (US$ 78 bn) and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11% to reach
` 10,32,000 crore (US$ 220 bn) by 2020. Within this industry the domestic apparel industry is growing by 10%, while home
textiles demand is growing by around 12%.
Cotton yarn, which accounts for 74% of total yarn production, grew by 12%, while blended yarn grew by 11% and non cotton
yarn by 9% in 2010-11. In terms of fabric, cotton based cloth, which accounts for 51% of total fabric production grew by 7%,
blended cloth by 5%, while non-cotton cloth reduced by 3% in the first 10 months of 2010-11.
Apart from catering to growing domestic demand, exports started
picking up since August 2010 after a slight blip in the first quarter of
2010-11. Over 60% of the country’s exports are to USA and the EU.
India’s exports of Textiles and Apparel products, specifically to US
has increased by 19% to ` 22,054 crore (around US$ 4,967 mn) for
11 months ending Feb’11, compared to Jan-Feb ‘10. India’s share in
the total US trade is stable at 6%. The Indian exports of textiles and
apparel category to EU has also shown a positive growth. The exports
have grown by 17% for the ten months ending Jan 2011 as compared
to same period last year. In fact, encouraged by the impressive growth,
the Government of India has increased the target for India’s textiles
and apparel exports to around US$ 30 bn for 2011-12 against around
US$25 bn achieved in 2010-11. Source: Ministry of Textiles, GoI
Through 2010-11, and especially from January 2011 there was strengthening of fibre and yarn prices. Due to high demand
and supply side constraints, there is a continuous rise in raw material prices. The average prices of cotton yarn rose by 45 %
YoY in Mar ’11 to reach 207/Kg while PV yarn and PC yarn has shown 35% increase each for the same period and stands at
233/kg and 221/kg respectively. Chart F plots the data. Since then, however, there has been a downward movement in prices
in Q1, 2010-11 to more sustainable levels..
The Government of India (GoI) continues to take several steps to promote the industry. Some of these include:
Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks (SITP): 40 Textile Park projects have been sanctioned by the Textile Ministry till
date in various states. These Parks are planned to have facilities for spinning, sizing, texturising, weaving, processing,
apparels etc. and are expected to employ approximately 7.5 lakh persons. Till date four projects have been completed
and production started in 24 out of 40. So far government assistance of ` 882.60 crore has been provided for execution of
these projects. The promoters of these textiles park projects have brought in ` 1000 crore (approx.) as their contribution.
Technology Up-gradation Fund Scheme (TUFS): Since its inception, ` 11,196 crore of subsidy has been released. The
Union Budget for 2011-12 has provided an allocation of ` 2,980 crore for the scheme. Government has also enhanced
subsidy allocation for modernisation of the textiles industry to ` 15,404 crore from earlier sanction of ` 8,000 crore for
the current Plan ending 2012. Of the additional ` 7,404 crore, ` 1972 crore would be available for fresh sanctions while
the remaining ` 5,432 crore is meant for fulfilling the committed liabilities under the TUF scheme. Some key points of the
new scheme, which focuses on balanced development and forward integration, are:
5% interest re-imbursements plus 10% capital subsidy for spinning units with matching capacity in weaving/knitting/
processing/garmenting
Reducing repayment period to 7 years with 2 years moratorium to promote financial efficiency
5% interest re-imbursements plus 10% capital subsidy for establishment of new shuttle less looms
Interest subsidy/capital subsidy/margin money subsidy on the basic value of the machineries excluding the tax
component for the purpose of valuation
Cotton Yarn Exports – Approval: Ceding to the demands of the Cotton Yarn exporters, the Directorate General of
Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce announced approval of cotton yarn exports from April 1, 2011
subject to registration of export contracts with DGFT.

Key Ratios
Table 2 gives the key financial ratios for Alok Industries, as a stand-alone entity
• EBIDTA Margin has dropped from 29.52% in 2009-10 to 27.49% in 2010-11. This is primarily due to the adverse effect of
high raw material prices. Alok Industries continued to focus on managing people and other operating costs to offset the
high cost of raw materials. Both these costs reduced as a ratio to sales during 2010-11.
• PBT Margin was 9.13% in 2010-11, marginally better than the 8.69% generated in 2009-10. Reduction in interest
and finance costs as a ratio to sales contributed significantly to this improvement. PAT margin was 6.33% in 2010-11
compared to 5.74% in 2009-10.
• Return on Net worth (RONW) improved from 7.92% in 2009-10 to 11.22% in 2010-11. This was driven by the growth in
profits.
• Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) was 11.53% in 2010-11, up from 9.52% generated in 2009-10.
• Debt to Equity for long term loans was maintained at 1.66 in 2010-11 compared to 1.62 in 2009-10. Total debt to equity
ratio was 2.36 in 2010-11 against 2.28 in 2009-10.
• PBDIT/Interest or the interest coverage ratio that indicates the Company’s ability to service its debt costs through profits
improved from 2.38 in 2009-10 to 2.6 in 2010-11, while net fixed assets as a ratio to secured loans increased from 2.28
in 2009-10 to 2.64 in 2010-11. This shows that there is better cover for secured loans.
• Inventory turnover decreased from 125 days in 2009-10 to 114 days in 2010-11. However, Debtor turnover increased
from 93 days in 2009-10 to 99 days in 2010-11. Over all, the total requirement for working capital on account of debtors

India Textiles Business: Operations Review
Alok Industries is an integrated player in the textiles and apparel industry with presence across the value chain. At the starting
end of the chain it produces cotton and polyester yarn. Both of which, are primarily to service internal requirements of yarn
but some of the produce is sold in the market. The Company produces fabric both through weaving and knitting and lays
great emphasis on specialised products in this space. It is also into manufacturing of home textiles including terry towels. At
the front end of the chain, there is a relatively small garmenting operation. The garmenting business is supplemented by the
Indian subsidiary Alok Apparels Private Limited.
Table 5 gives the relative share of the different divisions in the Company’s total sales. With 43% share, woven fabrics have
the largest share of revenues, followed by polyester yarn with 26%; home textiles with 15%; cotton yarn with 9%; knitted fabric
with 4% and garments with 3%.

While domestic sales grew by 51.55% from ` 2,752.18 crore in 2009-10 to ` 4,171.00 crore in 2010-11, exports continued to
grow impressively, especially in the second half of 2010-11. The export growth was 42.24% from ` 1,558.99 crore in 2009-10
to ` 2,217.43 crore in 2010-11.
The share of Alok’s exports to different regions is given in chart G. The largest value of exports is to USA with a share of 39%
of total exports. Asia has the second largest share of 23%. South America has gained considerable share and is the third
largest export destination for Alok with a share of 18%. Europe is next with 17%, while non-US North America and Africa have
small shares of 2% and 1% respectively.
Chart G
Cotton Yarn
Alok’s requirement of cotton yarn increased considerably with the expansion of weaving and knitting capacities and made
strategic sense to have some portion of its total yarn requirement produced in-house. This also mitigates the risk of total
dependence on the market where availability could be a constraint with a lot of high speed weaving capacities being added in
the country in the quota free regime. Consequently, the size of the cotton yarn division is larger if we also account for internal
consumption.
Table 6 gives the data for external sales of cotton yarn, which is sold to traders, manufacturing units and weavers. Domestic
sales increased by 309.10% from ` 101.79 crore in 2009-10 to ` 416.40 crore in 2010-11, while exports reduced from ` 225.31
crore in 2009-10 to ` 136.50 crore in 2010-11 – a drop of 39.40%. There were considerable opportunities in the domestic market,
which the Company effectively tapped. With demand being there from internal requirements, high domestic sales resulted in
supply side constraints for exports. Consequently, exports dropped during 2010-11. Overall, total cotton yarn sales increased by
69.03% to ` 552.90 crore in 2010-11 against ` 327.10 crore in 2009-10.

Looking to the increased requirement, the Company is further expanding its spinning capacity by installing 68,000 spindles
and 1,888 rotors taking the total production capacity to 80,000 tpa.
Apparel Fabric
Alok produces a wide range of woven and knitted fabrics. The high quality of its products is a result of its design capabilities,
product knowledge and state of the art manufacturing facilities. On the weaving front it has modern facilities that utilise the
best technology available in the world. This includes Benninger warping and sizing machines from Switzerland for preparatory,
projectile Sulzer make looms, wider width/ narrow width Air Jet looms of Toyota/ Picanol make, Rapier Sulzer make looms
with Staubli make dobby and Rapier Sulzer make looms with Bonas make Jacquard attachment. It also outsources fabric
from power looms and mills to meet its requirements. Presently, the company has 1018 nos. apparel width looms with an
installed capacity of 93 mn meters and 855 nos. wider width looms with an installed capacity of 68 mn meters.
In knitting, today, the Company has 171 Mayer and Cie / Pialung circular knitting machines of various types like single jersey,
double jersey, interlock, auto striper and rib structure. The total installed capacity is 18,200 tpa. The products include single

To promote further profitable growth in this division, Alok is focusing on three segments of the apparel fabric market: (a)
fashion wear; (b) yarn dyed fabrics; and (c) work-wear and technical textiles.
In fashion wear fabrics, Alok produces a wide range in both knits and wovens. Fabric types include twills, voiles, cambrics,
poplins, Lycra poplins gabardines, jacquard, satins, matte, canvases, butta dobby, lawn, yarn dyed and many more. There are
several distribution channels through which the Company caters to specified target customer groups. The direct customers
include Indian exporters or converters in international countries, domestic garment manufacturers, retailers and traders, and
institutional sales.
Within fashion-wear, the Company is focusing on yarn dyed fabrics, which are used for fashionable shirting and high end
women’s wear and command premium prices in the market. Alok has a capacity to produce 5,000 TPA of dyed yarn, which is
being further expanded. In the near future, the company plans to make yarn dyed fabric a major growth driver of its apparel
fabric sales.
Technical textiles are speciality fabrics, such as fire retardant fabric, water repellent and soil release fabric and high visibility
fabric. They require special functionality and are used in industrial, aerospace, military, marine, medical, construction,
transportation and high technology applications. Due to their specialised nature, they offer higher margins than conventional
textiles. The technical textiles market in India is still in infancy and fairly unorganised. It is also highly import intensive.
Estimates suggest that this market will grow at a CAGR of 10% to reach ` 146,000 crore (US$ 31 bn) by 2020.
In weaving, the Company under its ongoing expansion proposes to install 200 nos. Toyota make Air jet wider width looms with
an installed capacity of 24 mn meters. The company is also installing 120 normal width Picanol make Airjet / Rapier looms
with an installed capacity of 27 mn meters. Thus the total weaving capacity would increase to 212 mn. meters and total no.
of looms to 2,183. Looking to the growing demand for the knitted fabrics, the company is further expanding its capacities by
installing additional circular knitting machines taking the total capacity to 25000 tpa.
Home Textiles
Alok ventured into made-ups segment by installing wider width (3 meter width) processing house at Vapi and as a forward
integration set up made-up unit of 100 stitching machines and other allied machines at Vapi. Subsequently, it setup a new
factory with 400 stitching machines at Silvassa taking the capacity to 6 million sets. Alok, has created a large and prestigious
customer base like Wal – Mart, Target and Kohl‘s, in the Home Textiles segment. Looking to the good demand the company
later on expanded its weaving and processing capacity. The products include Sheet-sets, duvets, comforters, blankets, quilts,
bed-in-a-bag, Curtains in prints, solids, embroidery, sateen‘s, flannel, Jacquards, Dobbies, yarn-dyed from 180 TCs to 1000
TCs. Within this segment in 2009-10, the Terry Towel plant was commissioned. It has 48 looms, capable of producing 6,700
TPA and an equivalent amount of terry towel processing capacity.
Home textiles are exported to overseas retailers and brands, sold in the domestic market to retailers and brands, and also
distributed through the Indian retail venture ‘H&A’ stores and the UK based ‘Store Twenty One’ outlets.
Domestic sales increased by 215.70% from ` 17.13 crore to ` 54.08 crore. While this growth looks large it is on a small
base. Exports grew to ` 946.03 crore in 2010-11 against ` 690.13 crore – an increase of 37.08%. Total home textiles sales
increased by 41.41% to ` 1000.11 crore. Growth was supported by faster penetration of H&A operations and growth in terry
towel sales, where production is getting stabilised. Table 8 gives the data.
Alok commenced its garment manufacturing operations in 2004 as a pilot project by setting up a unit of 100 stitching machines
at Turbhe, Navi Mumbai with an installed capacity of 1 mn pieces per annum. The company has evolved into a nominated or
preferred vendor for big global label and retailers like Mother Care, Carrefour, JC Penny and Kappa
With the removal of quotas and the sourcing of garments by the western countries shifting to low cost countries like India,
garment stitching is an important value added service for the buyer. With a view to increase its production capacity, the
company has added 1,547 Juki machines. The company currently has installed capacities of 22 mn pieces with 1,647 Juki
machines in Silvassa.
While garment sales, especially for exports, show encouraging growth potential, there is fierce cost competition. Alok is
therefore also looking at increasing capacities through outsourcing, either directly or through its subsidiaries to low cost
operators, both in India and overseas, especially Bangladesh, where quality garments can be produced at competitive prices.
The work-wear segment, too, offers opportunities for this division to grow profitably
The products include knitted or woven garments for ladies, gents and children, garments for sportswear, active wear, casual
wear and sleepwear, garments made from fabrics like solid, mélange, yarn dyed, auto stripes, jacquards, embroidered and
variety of prints like transfer prints, and block prints.
This remains primarily an export oriented business. And, exports increased to ` 162.99 crore in 2010-11 against ` 131.14
crore in 2009-10 – a growth of 25.28%. While, domestic sales increased from ` 9.86 crore in 2009-10 to ` 11.07 crore in
2010-11. Total garment sales increased by 23.45% to ` 174.06 crore in 2010-11. Table 9 gives the data.
Polyester Yarn
POY Texturing
As a backward integration to texturising, the Company had ventured in Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) with an installed capacity
of 54,000 tpa in 2006 through chip route. Looking to the expansion of texturising capacity and to save on the raw material
cost, the Company has increased the total production capacity of POY from 54,000 tpa to 200,000 tpa. This has been done
through Continuous Polymerization (CP) route in March 2009. Under the CP route, POY is manufactured from PTA and MEG.
With prices of cotton increasing steeply, cotton fabric got replaced by polyester fabric, giving a fillip to demand for polyester
yarn. Table 10 shows that Alok’s domestic sales increased by 18.45% to Rs. 1,113.83 crore in 2010-11, while exports
increased by 127.23% to Rs.574.35 crore in 2010-11. Consequently, total polyester yarn sales increased by 41.50% to
Rs.1,688.18 crore in 2010-11 against Rs.1,193.08 crore in 2009-10.

for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) for ISO 17025:2005 Quality Management System
Strategic Investments
In addition to the core Indian textiles operations, the Company has diversified its business scope by making investments
into subsidiaries and associate companies. While some of these investments were to reach out to new markets, others were
made to fill a gap in the complete textile industry value chain. The outlays in the realty business were a pure opportunistic
financial investment.
The Company’s strategic investments into subsidiaries and group companies decreased from ` 217.06 crore as on 31
March 2010 to `139.64 crore as on 31 March 2011. The decrease is primary due to reduction in equity investment into Alok
Industries International Limited from ` 79.37 crore as on 31 March 2010 to ` 0.22 crore as on 31 March 2011. This step-down
subsidiary has the majority of investments in Mileta and Grabal Alok (UK) Ltd. of the strategic investments, mainly ` 36.05
crore is in Alok (H&A) Ltd, ` 10 crore in Alok Apparels Pvt. Ltd. and ` 71.50 crore in realty assets of New City of Bombay
Manufacturing Mills Limited.
In the textiles space, the two primary subsidiaries or associate companies are Mileta and Alok Apparels Private Limited.
Mileta
Alok holds 100% stake in Mileta, a Czech based manufacturing company through its wholly own subsidiary Alok Industries
International Ltd.. The plants of Mileta are located in Horice (Weaving and Administration) and Cerny Dul (processing) in the
Czech Republic.
Mileta provides benefits from its technology skills in yarn-dyed fabrics and hemming that results in higher per unit realisations
and new product lines. The Mileta range of products includes handkerchiefs, high quality shirting, batistes and voiles, complete
line of functional table linen and bed linen. Their brands including ‘Mileta’, ‘Erba’, ‘Cottonova’, ‘Wall Street’ and ‘lord Nelson’
are being introduced in the Indian domestic market. Alok also leverages Mileta’s extensive marketing network in Europe,
Russia and Africa to promote its existing products.
Mileta witnessed a turnaround in 2010-11. Net Sales grew by 3.02% from – € 19.85 million in 2009-10 to – € 20.45 million in
2010-11. PBT has turned around from a deficit of – € 1.54 million in 2009-10 to profits of € 0.7 million in 2010-11.
Alok Apparels Private Limited
Alok’s 100% subsidiary, Alok Apparels Pvt. Ltd., manufactures woven and knit fashion garments at Silvassa. In 2010-11,
the unit achieved sales of `10.89 crore. This business is expected to grow both through own manufacturing as well as
outsourcing.
In order to further reach out to end customers and fill the void of the ‘last mile’, Alok has entered the retail space. In India, this
endeavour is through the ‘H&A’ stores, while in UK it is through ‘Store Twenty One’
H&A: Domestic Retail
The Company’s domestic retail operations are today carried out through the cash and carry company called ‘Alok H&A Ltd’, a
100% subsidiary of the company and Alok Retail (India) Limited. The Company has been expanding its H&A chain of stores
at a rapid pace. It has increased its number of stores from 226 at the beginning of 2010-11 to 291 by the end of 2010-11. This
includes ‘shop in shop’ formats. With this, there is now presence in 22 states across over 75 cities. Most of the shops are
operated through the franchisee model. The stores offer quality products in home textiles, men’s wear, women’s wear, kids’
wear and accessories like ties, handkerchiefs and cuff-lings.
In 2010-11, Alok H&A Limited recorded sales of ` 40.37 crore and was a profitable business. Going forward the company
plans to expand its network to 500 operational stores by March 2012, including a few large format stores with carpet area
of around 2,500 square feet. All the new stores will be on the franchisee model and will therefore have lower set up costs
and accelerated roll out. There are plans to roll out new accessories like footwear, sun-glasses and perfumes. The goal is to
become an established affordable lifestyle store brand in India.
Store Twenty One: UK Retail
Alok Group presently has a stake of 91% in Grabal Alok (UK) Ltd the company that operates the ‘Store Twenty One’ chain of
value-format stores in UK. Today, the chain comprises around 215 stores, which offer a value proposition for quality apparel
for women, men, and children.
They also sell accessories like artificial jewellery, shoes, leather bags, and toys, which complement the apparel range.
The focus in this business over the recent past has been to restructure and grow revenues while optimising costs. And, in
2010-11, there were positive achievements on this front.
• For the 12 month period ended March 2011, the stores have registered gross sales of £ 129.75 million as compare to
£ 117.06 million in FY 2010, a growth of 10.84%.
• Store margin increased from 40.30% in FY 2009-10 to 40.67% in FY 2010-11. On the costs front, people costs reduced
marginally from 11.72% in 2009-10 to 11.68% in 2010-11.
• Operating profits or EBIDTA turned around from a negative of £ 3.01 million in 2009-10 to positive territory of £ 1.71
million in 2010-11.
The Company has also made investments in the realty sector. The focus in this business is to create value from the existing
investments and monetise the assets in an opportunistic manner. The investments here include:
Peninsula Business Park (Lower Parel)
This includes Tower B 641,600 sq ft at measuring of ultra
modern office premises with 600 car parks. The project is
developed by Peninsula Lands Ltd and civil work by out

of the Arabian Sea and the Mahalaxmi Race Course. The
building has received occupancy certificate from respective
authorities. Two of the floors measuring about 32,000 sq. ft.
each have been leased .
The total project cost is ` 1306.80 crore. This has been
funded by equity of ` 556.80 crore and debt of ` 750.00
crore.
Ashford Royale Premium Residential Complex (Nahur)
The project is being developed jointly by Ashford Investment
and Trading Company Pvt. Ltd. and Alok Infrastructure Ltd.
It is a residential complex on a 7 acre plot (CEAT factory) at
Nahur. The architects appointed for the project are Talati and
Panthaky and the proposed saleable area is around 1.1 mn
Sq. ft. It is being developed as a modern residential complex
with large landscaped gardens and water bodies, with club
house and gymnasium.
The total project cost is estimated to be about ` 550 crore,
which is being funded by equity of ` 136 crore, advance
from customers of ` 314 crore and debt of ` 100 crore. The
certification of conversion of land to ‘residential’ use was
received and the project launched in February 2011. The
initial launch has been well received in the market and is
expected to be completed by March 2014.
Since the two commercial properties are now nearly completed, Alok group is looking at bringing back its investments from its
realty subsidiaries over a period of next two years. The proceeds shall be utilised towards repaying part of the existing debt
of the subsidiary and parent company and thus reduce the gearing ratio of Alok Industries Ltd.
In addition, Alok had entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with National Textile Corporation (NTC) for the development and
revival of New City Mills at Mumbai and Aurangabad Textile Mills at Aurangabad. Progress on this has been satisfactory – the
units at Aurangabad and Mumbai with 135 garmenting machines and 125 garmenting machines have been set up; a design
studio at New City Mills has also been established.

Information Technology (IT)
Alok has always utilised IT as a business enabler to optimise its processes and build a competitive edge. Implementation of
appropriate new technology and up-gradation of IT tools is an on-going process at Alok.
The developments on this front in 2010-11 include:
• Variant configuration pilot has been carried out. Alok/IBM team have finalised the characteristics to be considered for
final material master. After extensive testing to check the impact of this on all modules, it has been put to production and
teething issues are being resolved.

Corporate Social Responsibility
While focusing on maximising shareholder value, Alok Industries has always strived to be a good corporate citizen and
promote the overall cause of all stakeholders related to the textiles and apparel industry. These include initiatives on education,
social welfare, environment and health.
Education
Alok played a pivotal role in setting up the Advanced Academy for Development of Textile Technologists (A.A.D.T.T.) with
a vision to create a unique knowledge and technologically advanced platform for the identification, skill enhancement and
career development of resources for the Textile Industry.
There is a significant knowledge gap between curriculum followed at institutes and knowledge and skill demand due to
technology up gradation in the Indian textile industry. The shortage of quality and quantity of trained manpower is further
worsened due to continuous movement of technologists to alternate streams (IT, Finance etc). Besides looking at governmental
support, a pro-active initiative was needed from the textile industry players to identify, train and retain talent within the industry.
The AADTT is testimony to the Company’s commitment towards creating quality human resources for the Textile Industry.
During the year, 10 candidates underwent training at the Spinning Division. In the current year close to 20 candidates have
been selected from leading textile engineering Institutes for a course in skill development and enhancement. This will prepare
them to meet the new and more challenging demands of the industry.
The Company provided mid-day meals to school children in the (Prathmik Shala) rural villages of Balitha and Murai, adjoining
its plant premise, benefiting around 200 children on daily basis. It renovated a primary School for rural children in the village
of Balitha which runs 1st to 5th standard and benefits over 100 children from adjacent villages. A similar school renovation
project has been sponsored at the Government School based at Saily Village. The Company donated computers to various
rural schools in Moria and Balitha villages.
The Company started a public school in Silvassa under the CBSE curriculum. This modern school will hugely boost the
aspirations of the local populace to ensure a sound education platform for their children. The school will have facilities for all
round development of children besides having special programs for the differently abled. Alok is also working on a private
public partnership with Silvassa administration to convert the Government owned Industrial Training Institute (ITI) into a
centre of excellence.
Social Welfare
The organization runs a training centre at Silvassa where tribal ladies and boys are trained on stitching operations and
later absorbed on the company rolls as permanent employees, thus providing employment opportunities to the rural local
population. The Company promotes women employment and imparts technical training to tribal women too for their migration
as operators.
To promote infrastructure development, the Company constructed tar roads inside the villages of Murai and Balitha. It
renovated a local bus stop at Morai for convenience of villagers, a police station at Vapi and provided proper infrastructure /
furniture to them, and a primary health care centre in the Chalka village. The Company also donated one “Blood Separator
Unit” to Haria Hospital at Vapi.
To extend a helping hand during natural calamities, Alok distributed food packets and bed sheets to the flood affected victims
during the Gujarat floods.
Environment
Afforestation work was carried out at hills adjacent to Balitha, Moria and Vatar Villages. The Company also provided a water
sprinkler system on the hills to maintain the forest and prevent fires during summer months. It undertook plantation and
cultivation of mango groves at the vicinity of Morai village, adjacent to Vapi plant by the company.
Alok has started a project on biological processing of ETP water at Vapi unit. On a regular basis, ETP water is recycled and
reused. The Company has set up a RO plant to recover over 70% of the ETP water and the same is used in sanitation and
horticulture purpose in the plant itself, reducing pollution load on the environment.
The organization has also taken up beautification projects in the township of Silvassa. It has taken up the mantle of maintaining
green units at important locations across the township. To maintain its commitment towards the environment, the company
planted over 500 trees and proposes to intensify its ‘greening’ initiatives this year.
Health
The Company frequently conducted blood donation camps in association with a NGO – Blood bank – Popat Lakla Blood Bank
at Balitha.
The company as a commitment towards community heath, conducted training and distributed tablets for prevention of filariasis
(Elephantiasis) to the people residing in vicinity with the help of Public Health Department, Silvassa.
The organization runs a full time dispensary at each of its unit for the welfare of its employees. Each dispensary has a visiting
doctor, full time trained nurses and is adequately equipped with medicines. It also has tie up with hospitals at Vapi / Silvassa
to handle emergencies.
The Company also conducted an ‘Eyecare camp’ at the corporate office and plants where all employees could get their eyes

Risk Management
The ability to take risks is the hallmark of any good business enterprise, but if those risks are managed ineffectively, then
growth can be adversely affected. Risk would mean the inability to assess the danger of loss due to unforeseen events or to
optimize opportunities. Every organization needs an effective risk management framework.
Corporate reality is today besieged with challenges. Whether those challenges relate to governance, people, process or
technology, there has to be a methodology to address all of them efficiently. Enterprises need to possess the right tools to
assess, develop, implement and monitor, to manage the organization.
At Alok Industries Limited, we adopt a risk intelligent approach to manage financial, technology, and business risks. We
have a structured framework that endeavors to deliver effective solutions to the challenges faced by the organization.
While focusing on areas of enhanced risk, we have created a structure to effectively manage risk across our bandwidth. We
have developed risk committees at all locations, comprising of senior officials from different streams. These committees meet
regularly to discuss various risks affecting their respective locations and also suggest mitigation measures for vetting by the
steering committee and subsequent implementation. There are identified risk owners and risk champions who lead these
committees and all identified and duly rated risks are captured in risk registers specially created for this purpose.
We seek to not only to pursue intelligent risk taking as a means to value creation but also cultivate a robust risk mitigation
ideology. Our risk management initiatives are directed so as to better align our business objectives and strategies with the
need of today’s competitive market. We periodically also avail the aid of globally reputed specialists to redefine our risk
framework in line with our vision, mission and business strategy.
Presently, international crude oil prices are stable and it is estimated that they would move within a narrow price band. Also,
the volatility in cotton prices has come down. As a result, we expect PTA and MEG prices to be stable too. The demand for
textiles is growing and cotton being a natural commodity has a limitation on production. Moreover, polyester being a cheaper
compared to cotton, the demand for polyester has been growing rapidly over the past few years and the trend is expected to
continue. In case of polyester also, Alok is trying to keep its inventory level matched with its sales order book. Looking to the
present rising demand scenario for polyester and fluctuation in prices being a global phenomenon, Alok is confident that it
will be able to pass on the fluctuations in cost of the raw material to the end customer.
Fuel
Power and fuel are major manufacturing costs in the production of textiles. In case of Alok, power and fuel cost are about 6%
of Alok’s sales. Any increase in these costs therefore has an adverse impact on Alok’s bottom line. Over the past year, tariff
prices for power have been increasing. The Company’s dual fuel captive power plant helps to mitigate some of the power cost
risk. Alok has been actively exploring opportunities to switch over to a cheaper fuel source. The Company’s plants at Vapi
are already running on natural gas; it is expected that the same initiative will be completed in 2011-12 for Silvassa. Once the
switchover is completed and stabilised, there will be substantial savings in fuel costs; availability of fuel will also be less of
a risk. Further, Silvassa perhaps, enjoys the lowest power tariff in the country and Alok makes efforts to draw maximum
power from the grid.
Markets
Alok’s sales are subject to market demands. Alok is a B2B company and caters to almost all the international and domestic
brands and retailers for one or other of their requirements. The Company has a mix of domestic and export sales; Alok’s
exports are to over 70 countries and exports constitutes about 35% of its total sales. The status and risk of major economies
where Alok sells its products are given below.
USA
36% of Alok’s total exports are to the USA. The US economy, though, having a slow growth, is a major textile consuming
country and textiles are sort of necessities. The consumer may, however, shift the demand towards mid to low end products
over high end products during such times. Moreover, in such scenario, the buyers resort to consolidation of sourcing to few
large suppliers like Alok. The Company has been actively exploring other lucrative export markets, especially in Asia, Middle
East and South and Central America; which together have a 49% share of Alok’s exports. Africa, also offers Alok growth
opportunities in the export market.
Europe
About 14% of Alok exports is to European nations. Slowdown in the in Europe is both a risk and an opportunity for Alok.
Textile is a basic consumption need and consumers will purchase basic ‘value for money’ clothes and apparel, even in
the middle of the slowdown. Also, because the cost of production being relatively high, a number of textile units in Europe
have either reduced or ceased operations. These factors, in turn, help Asian manufacturers like Alok to penetrate European
markets. Having said this, the slowness of the recovery, especially in Central and Southern Europe remains an area of
concern.
India
Indian economy is the second-fastest growing major economies in the world. A Clothing demand tends to move in tandem with
GDP growth; hence, the domestic demand prospects for textiles and apparel look positive. There is worry about inflationary
pressures; however, the scope for growth in the Indian market remains substantial. As per the domestic demand scenario,
Alok would suitably position itself to tap the growing domestic market.
Financial Risk
Since removal of quota in Textile trade in 2005 till 2011, Alok has been aggressively expanding its capacities with forward
and backward integration and did a capex of ` 9027 crores. As a result, it has emerged as the largest Integrated Textile
Company in the country and has been able to establish contacts with all the leading brands and retailers in the world. As
bulk of the capex was through debt, the gearing of the Company has increased. However, the company’s borrowing cost is
considerably low at about 8% p.a. as some of these borrowings are under the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS)
at concessional rates of interest; some are foreign currency borrowings. Also, for working capital, the company is able to
borrow at lower cost under foreign currency / rupee export finance.
The bulk of the capacity expansions that Alok has undertaken have been completed and commissioned. As production from
these expansions comes on-stream, Alok expects an improvement in its cash flow, profitability and internal accruals. Alok is
also contemplating to bring back some of its investments in Realty and use the proceeds towards repayment of consolidated
/ standalone debt. The Long term Rating of the company continues to be CARE A+( A Plus).
Currency Risk
About 35% of Alok’s total sales is exports. For FY 2010-11 the total exports were ` 2,217.43 crore. These sales were
denominated mainly in US Dollars. A part of the Company’s loan book also comprises of foreign debt. Fluctuations in
foreign currency can therefore impact, either Alok’s top line or its interest outgo. Over the past few months, there has been
uncertainty over the Rupee movement. Rupee strengthening will impact exporters but would be beneficial on foreign currency
loan liabilities.
Alok has a well-entrenched in-house treasury division, that monitors currency fluctuations periodically and takes corrective
action where needed.

Accordingly, the domestic market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 10% to reach USD 140 billion (about ` 6, 30,000
crore) by the year 2020. All the three sectors are expected to grow uniformly with apparel segment to reach USD 100 billion
(about ` 4, 50,000 crore), technical textile to grow to USD 30 billion (about ` 1,35,000 crore) and home textile domestic market
is estimated to be USD 10 billion (about ` 45,000 crore).
As an indicator of rising domestic consumption, the Retail
sector in India grew at 10%-14% CAGR between 2004-05
and 2007-08 on the backdrop of favourable demographics,
rising disposable income and increasing urbanization.
Organised retail grew faster at 28% led by new entrants,
low penetration and large expansions by existing players.
Going forward, Indian retail is expected to grow at 13.5%
CAGR over the next 5 years and expected to almost double
(source:Technopak)
to ` 27,20,000 crore (USD 604 billion) from its existing
The recent slow-down has indicated that global textile and apparel buyers are, to reduce supply chain costs and quality
variations, now looking at reducing the number of suppliers from whom they source materials and preferring to consolidate
their purchases with a few large and efficient suppliers; thus, textile players with capabilities to deliver large volumes of high
quality textiles and apparel, are expected to benefit.
Alok has been gearing itself, from last of couple of years, for these opportunities. It has created large scale capacities with
backward and forward integration, adopted modern technologies, widened its product range and created a flexible set up to
quickly adopt to the changing customer’s needs. Its integration and scale enable it to produce high quality products at most
competitive prices and at lowest lead times. It has a well diversified customer base and has become a reliable sourcing
partner for its customers. It also plans to penetrate in the domestic market by expanding its domestic retail outlets ‘H&A’ at
a pan India level.
With its expansion programmes nearing completion, Alok would be looking to consolidating its operations with a focus on
maximising Return On Capital Employed (ROCE), effective utilisation of capacities and cost control. It would be looking
at increasing its asset turnover by concentrating on value added products on the cotton side and increasing capacities on
polyester side. It would also be looking at expanding its market by increasing its geographical reach.
Alok also believes that its retail business will be a profitable revenue earner in the near future.

such addition or up to the month of such sale / scrapped, as the case may be.
f) Assets costing less than ` 5,000/ – are fully depreciated in the year of purchase.
8. Foreign Currency Transactions & Translations
a) Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Exchange
differences arising on settlement of foreign currency transactions are recognised in the profit and loss account
b) Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are restated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance
sheet date and the resultant exchange differences are recognized in the profit and loss account. Non-monetary
items denominated in foreign currency are carried at historical cost.
However, pursuant to the notification of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules 2006 issued on
31 March 2009, which amended Accounting Standard 11 on The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates,
exchange differences relating to long term monetary items are dealt with in the following manner:
i. Exchange differences relating to long-term monetary items, arising during the year, in so far as they relate to
the acquisition of a depreciable capital asset are added to / deducted from the cost of the asset and depreciated
over the balance life of the asset.
ii. In other cases such differences are accumulated in a “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference
Account” and amortized to the profit and loss account over the balance life of the long-term monetary item,
however that the period of amortization does not extend beyond 31 March, 2012. (Refer Note 20 below).
c) In respect of forward contracts entered into to hedge foreign currency exposure in respect of recognized monetary
items, the premium or discount on such contracts is amortized over the life of the contract. The exchange difference
measured by the change in exchange rate between the inception dates of the contract / last reporting date as the
case may be and the balance sheet date is recognized in the profit and loss account. Any gain / loss on cancellation
of such forward contracts are recognised as income / expense of the period.
9. Inventories
Items of Inventories are valued on the basis given below:
1. Raw Materials, Packing Materials, Stores and Spares and Trading goods: at cost determined on First – In – First – Out
(FIFO) basis or net realisable value, whichever is lower.
2. Process stock and Finished Goods: At weighted average cost or net realisable values whichever is lower. Cost comprises
of cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventory to their present location and
condition.
10. Employee Benefits (Refer Note No. 10 of Part B of Schedule 19)
a) Defined Contribution Plan
Company’s contribution paid/ payable for the year to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme is charged to Profit
and Loss account.
b) Defined Benefit Plan and other long term benefit plan
Company’s liabilities towards defined benefit scheme and other long term benefit plans are determined using the
projected unit credit method. Actuarial valuation under projected unit credit method are carried out at Balance Sheet
date, Actuarial gains/losses are recognised in Profit and Loss Account in the period of occurrence of such gains and
losses. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent benefits are vested otherwise it is amortized on straight
line basis over running average periods until the benefits become vested. The retirement benefit obligation recognised in
Balance Sheet represents present value of the defined benefit obligations as adjusted for unrecognised past service cost
and as reduced by fair value of scheme assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to past service cost,
the present value is available refunds and reduction in future contribution to the scheme.
c) Short Term Employee Benefits
Short term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employee are recognised
undiscounted during the period the employee renders the services, these benefits include incentive, bonus.

the cost value of assets and has been accordingly considered for the above disclosure.
11 Segment Reporting
a) Primary Segment: Geographical Segment
The company, considering its high level of international operations and present internal financial reporting based on
geographical location of customer, has identified geographical segment as primary segment.
The geographic segment consists of:
a) Domestic (Sales to Customers located in India)
b) International (Sales to Customers located outside India)
Revenue directly attributable to segments is reported based on items that are individually identifiable to that
segment. The company believes that it is not practical to allocate segment expenses, segment results, fixed
assets used in the company’s business or liabilities contracted since the resources/services/assets are used
interchangeably within the segments. Accordingly, no disclosure relating to same is made

the disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the
significant estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
3. Financial statements of certain subsidiaries, which reflect total assets of Rs.419.50 crore as at 31st March, 2011, total

reflect total assets of Rs.105.86 crore as at 31st March 2011, total revenue of Rs. 52.40 crore and net cash outflows
amounting to Rs.59.60 crore for the year ended on that date and financial statements of an associate in which the

the Management and our report in so far as it relates to the amounts included in respect of the subsidiary, joint venture
and an associate is based solely on such approved unaudited financial statements.
6. We report that the Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the
requirements of Accounting Standard 21 (Consolidated Financial Statements), Accounting Standard 23 (Accounting for
Investment in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements) and Accounting Standard 27 (Financial Reporting of
