R&B Denims Limited, a vertically integrated denim manufacturer based in Surat, Gujarat, has announced that its subsidiary, Ricon Industries, has commenced commercial manufacturing of polyester yarn at its facility in Surat, Gujarat.
The company has invested Rs 25 crore in the initial phase of the project. The investment covers modifications to the facility, machinery, manpower and infrastructure required for polyester yarn production.
According to the company the new capacity will provide greater raw material security and help optimise costs for its blended textile operations. Polyester yarn is used in blended fabrics, including cotton-polyester-spandex combinations used in stretch denim.
Ricon Industries previously manufactured pure cotton yarn and has now expanded its production capabilities to include specialised polyester yarn. The move is aimed at strengthening R&B Denims’ integrated textile operations and supporting its blended fabric business.
R&B Denims reported consolidated net operating revenue of Rs 465.9 crore and consolidated profit after tax of Rs 24.8 crore for FY26.
The company’s move into polyester yarn production follows its strategy of increasing integration across its textile operations. Ricon Industries’ expanded yarn manufacturing capabilities are expected to support the group’s requirements for blended fabrics and value-added denim products, including stretch-denim jeans and jackets.
The Surat facility is located in one of India’s major textile manufacturing hubs, providing access to yarn suppliers, textile manufacturers and logistics infrastructure.
The company will now focus on scaling up production and utilisation of the new polyester yarn capacity. The performance of the facility will depend on production ramp-up, demand for blended textiles and the prices of key raw materials, including polyester chips and PTA.
R&B Denims has also undertaken other financial and operational developments in FY27. On August 27, 2026, its board approved an unsecured loan agreement of Rs 10 crore with Ganpati Energy Private Limited at an interest rate of 13.80% per annum.
On August 14, 2026, the company approved its standalone and consolidated Q1 FY27 financial results. Its consolidated net profit for the quarter stood at Rs 4.38 crore.
The company’s expansion into polyester yarn comes amid increasing use of synthetic-blended fabrics in denim and apparel, driven by demand for stretch, durability and cost efficiency. The new production capability is expected to increase R&B Denims’ internal sourcing of polyester yarn and strengthen its vertically integrated textile operations.
