The company reported a <strong>net loss of \u20b911 crore<\/strong>, narrowing from a loss of <strong>\u20b918 crore<\/strong> in Q2 FY26 and <strong>\u20b924 crore<\/strong> in Q3 FY25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Management said the quarter marked a step forward from Q2 as operating conditions stabilized, though <strong>global uncertainties and input cost pressures<\/strong> continued to weigh on the sector. The company highlighted improving trade prospects from <strong>free trade agreements with the UK and the European Union<\/strong>, which could support export-oriented textile demand in coming quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nine-month FY26 snapshot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the nine months ended Dec. 31, 2025, <strong>total income declined 5.3% year on year to \u20b91,885 crore<\/strong>. <strong>EBITDA stood at \u20b948 crore<\/strong>, compared with \u20b951 crore in 9M FY25, with the <strong>EBITDA margin at 2.5%<\/strong>. <strong>Net loss for 9M FY26 was \u20b955 crore<\/strong>, broadly in line with the prior-year period. The company maintained <strong>debt-to-equity below 1x<\/strong>, with low utilization of working capital limits, supporting balance-sheet stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yarn business trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>yarn segment revenue declined to \u20b9591 crore in Q3 FY26<\/strong> from \u20b9597 crore in Q2 FY26 and \u20b9609 crore in Q3 FY25. <strong>Sales volumes eased to 24,973 tonnes<\/strong>, with <strong>capacity utilization at 86%<\/strong>, down from 90% a year earlier. Segment EBIT remained under pressure, reflecting weaker pricing and demand in export markets. For 9M FY26, yarn revenue stood at <strong>\u20b91,750 crore<\/strong>, with volumes of <strong>72,888 tonnes<\/strong> and utilization of <strong>84%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home textiles performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>home textiles segment posted Q3 FY26 revenue of \u20b945 crore<\/strong>, broadly flat sequentially, while <strong>segment EBIT remained negative at \u20b97 crore<\/strong>. The company said its <strong>Nesterra<\/strong> brand continued to gain traction across domestic and export channels, supported by distribution expansion, product launches and brand activation initiatives. Total active Nesterra stores stood at <strong>480<\/strong>, with strong presence in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability and product mix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sutlej continues to expand its <strong>sustainable green fibre<\/strong> platform, with <strong>120 tonnes per day of installed recycled polyester staple fibre capacity<\/strong>, operating near full utilization and servicing about <strong>73% of in-house green fibre demand<\/strong>. The company highlighted the role of backward integration in improving operating efficiency and lowering raw material dependence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In specialty yarns, Sutlej operates <strong>over 4.13 lakh spindles<\/strong>, with a diversified mix across melange and blended yarns and exports to <strong>60+ countries<\/strong>, providing resilience through customer and geographic diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Management said the operating environment is stabilizing, with early signs of demand normalization. The company expects trade agreements with key markets to improve access for Indian textile exporters. Near-term caution remains due to input cost volatility and global macro uncertainty, but Sutlej aims to improve margins through efficiency measures, higher value-added yarns and sustainability-led differentiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sutlej Textiles reported a sequential improvement in Q3 FY26 EBITDA and a narrowing of losses as operating conditions stabilized. Yarn volumes softened and home textiles profitability remained under pressure. Balance-sheet leverage remained conservative. Management expects structural tailwinds from trade agreements and a gradual recovery in export demand to support operating momentum over the coming quarters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sutlej Textiles and Industries Limited (NSE: SUTLEJTEX, BSE: 532782) reported a sequential improvement in operating performance in the December quarter even as demand across yarn and home textiles remained muted, according to the company\u2019s Q3 &amp; 9M FY26 investor presentation released on Feb. 12, 2026.
