RSWM Limited , the flagship company of the LNJ Bhilwara Group, has released its Integrated Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, marking a decisive turnaround from loss to profit under its RSWM 2.0 transformation framework. The Company reported a Net Profit After Tax of ₹51.98 Crore for FY26, compared to a Loss After Tax of ₹41.28 Crore in FY25, driven by disciplined cost control, strategic asset rationalisation, and a deliberate shift from volume-led to margin-focused operations.
Key Financial Performance — FY26
Despite a 5.6% year-on-year decline in revenue from operations to ₹4,553.98 Crore, the Company delivered meaningful margin expansion across all profitability metrics. The following table summarises the key financial results:
| Metric: | FY26 | FY25 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue from Operations: | ₹4,553.98 Crore | ₹4,825.29 Crore | (5.6%) |
| EBITDA: | ₹327.12 Crore | ₹232.79 Crore | +40.5% |
| EBITDA Margin: | 7.1% | 4.80% | +231 bps |
| Finance Cost: | ₹122.83 Crore | ₹135.29 Crore | (9.2%) |
| PAT: | ₹51.98 Crore | ₹(41.28) Crore | Turnaround |
| Total Borrowings: | ₹1,509.67 Crore | ₹1,621.58 Crore | (₹112 Crore) |
| Net Worth: | ₹1,371.65 Crore | ₹1,307.83 Crore | +₹63.82 Crore |
| Capital Employed: | ₹3,467.70 Crore | ₹3,524.78 Crore | — |
| ROCE: | 5.69% | 2.53% | +316 bps |
| Basic EPS (₹): | ₹11.04 | ₹(8.76) | Turnaround |
The reported PAT includes a one-time benefit of ₹22.66 Crore arising from the reassessment of deferred tax liabilities following the Company's election of the new concessional corporate tax rate of 25.17% effective FY27 under the Income Tax Act, 2025. Normalised PAT, excluding this tax adjustment, stood at approximately ₹29 Crore.
Other income rose 74.6% to ₹51 Crore, partly reflecting the monetisation of non-core assets. Gross profit improved to ₹1,753 Crore, up 1.4% year-on-year, with gross margin expanding by 246 basis points to 38.1%, supported by better raw material management with costs down 9.6% year-on-year.
RSWM 2.0 — Strategic Pillars Driving the Turnaround
The RSWM 2.0 framework, launched in FY26, rests on four interlocking pillars that guided operational and capital decisions through the year.
1. Cash Conservation and Liquidity Optimisation Working capital costs were held below 9%. Tactical engagement with the repo rate cycle — which compressed from 6.5% to 5.2% — delivered a ₹7 Crore finance cost saving. The ₹36 Crore preferential warrant subscription by the Promoter Group reaffirmed promoter conviction in the strategy.
2. Product and Market Mix Optimisation The conversion of 20,000 spindles at the Kharigram unit from grey to dyed yarn exemplifies the value-addition mandate. Value-added products currently contribute less than 20% of sales, representing significant runway for margin-accretive growth.
3. Forward Integration into Value-Added Segments A ₹92 Crore investment in the Knit division lifts capacity from 750 MT to 900 MT per month, with 120 MT of in-house printing capability added — a segment in which the Company previously had no footprint. European machinery acquired from BAKPL at ₹54 Crore brings energy-efficient equipment into the manufacturing network.
4. Operational Cost Rationalisation and Capital Allocation Discipline Renewable sources now power 70% of total energy consumption, anchored by a 60 MW round-the-clock partnership with Adani Green Energy Solutions and a 9.6 MW behind-the-meter solar installation. All thermal boilers are transitioning from coal to biofuels. The cumulative annualised benefit to the bottom line is estimated at ₹30–40 Crore. Year-on-year power and fuel expenses declined by ₹17.6 Crore.
Strategic Asset Rationalisation
Two pivotal decisions shaped the FY26 operational landscape:
| Decision: | Details |
|---|---|
| Chhata Spinning Closure: | Reduced topline by approximately ₹250 Crore; eliminated structurally low-margin volume |
| Jammu Project Withdrawal: | State-level subsidy delays and GST rationalisation compromised internal rate of return; capital redirected to higher-yield opportunities |
| Inventory Reduction: | 15.16% reduction (₹110.69 Crore) since March 2025 |
| Receivables Reduction: | ₹65.32 Crore reduction since March 2025 |
The Company also monetised non-viable spinning machines at the Chhata unit, its thermal power plant and surplus land at Jammu, converting dormant balance-sheet items into deployable capital.
Business Division Performance
The following table summarises key operational metrics across business divisions for FY26:
| Division: | Revenue | Production | Key Metric |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synthetic Yarn: | ₹2,172 Crore | 1,05,820 MT | Speciality yarn: 24% of production |
| Cotton Yarn: | ₹620 Crore | 25,591 MT | Positive bottom line in Q4FY26 |
| Denim Fabric: | — | 32,523 thousand metres | ~100% capacity utilisation |
| Knitted Fabrics: | — | 6,292 MT | Capacity expansion to 900 MT/month underway |
| Fibre Green (Recycled): | — | 8,452 tonnes sold | 50% of total polyester production |
The Denim Division achieved approximately 100% capacity utilisation against an industry average of approximately 70%, underscoring its operational agility and demand strength. The Synthetic Yarn division developed and sold 1,980 tonnes of specialised yarn variants per month during FY26.
New Growth Engines
LNJ GreenPET at Ratlam: RSWM acquired 100% equity shareholding in LNJ GreenPET Private Limited for a total consideration of ₹20.01 Crore. The subsidiary is setting up a greenfield facility in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, at an investment of ₹427 Crore to produce bottle-to-bottle, food-grade recycled PET (rPET) chips and granules using Starlinger European technology, funded through a 70:30 debt-equity structure. The project is expected to generate annual revenue of ₹475–500 Crore at full maturity.
The Ringas facility currently processes nearly 6.5 million PET bottles every day, with recycled polyester contributing 50% of total polyester production, up from less than 10% at inception.
Credit Rating and Corporate Governance
