Sr. No. Particulars Details
1 Industry or area to which the new line of business belongs to The proposed new line of business falls within the Technical Textiles segment – a high-growth, performance-engineered vertical at the intersection of material science and advanced manufacturing, serving critical end-use industries including automotive, healthcare, construction, agriculture, defence, and industrial safety.

STIL will enter this space through Protective Textiles as its foundational vertical – high-performance fabrics for industrial safety, thermal and flame protection, defence, and specialised workwear – one of the fastest-growing sub-segments globally, driven by tightening safety regulations and rising defence modernisation. This entry point provides a strong springboard for progressive expansion into adjacent technical textile categories.

2 Expected benefits This strategic move is expected to provide below benefits:
• Margin Accretion: Entry into specification-driven, premium-priced categories with reduced exposure to commodity cyclicality.
• Differentiated Positioning: Innovation-led, performance-engineered solutions create defensible market positions, starting with Protective Textiles.
• Market Expansion: Captures large, underpenetrated domestic demand and emerging global supply chain opportunities for Indian manufacturers.
• Platform Synergies: Leverages STIL’s integrated fibre-to-yarn infrastructure, quality systems, and customer relationships for accelerated scale-up.
• Strategic Resilience: Advances STIL’s transformation into a future-ready, innovation-led textile platform.
3 Estimated amount to be invested The Company will pursue a capital-efficient entry strategy – leveraging existing manufacturing assets and integrated infrastructure, supplemented by incremental capex aligned to market and product opportunities. Investment sizing will be calibrated across key parameters including scale of initial operations, technology and specialised equipment procurement, research and development infrastructure, and applicable regulatory and certification requirements.
