Sportking India Ltd., one of India’s leading vertically integrated textile manufacturers, is charting a strong growth trajectory backed by a powerful blend of operational scale, product diversification, green investments, and financial resilience. As the company expands its manufacturing footprint and ventures into new product categories, its focus remains firmly on value creation, sustainability, and maintaining a stronghold in both domestic and global markets.
A Robust Manufacturing Backbone Powering Growth
Sportking India Ltd. currently operates one of the most extensive spinning infrastructures in North India, with an installed capacity of 388,000 spindles across three state-of-the-art manufacturing units located in Bathinda and Mehatpur. The company’s product mix includes both cotton and blended yarns, catering to domestic and international markets.
The company’s average capacity utilization stood at an impressive 94% in FY25, peaking at 96% in Q4—an indicator of both strong demand and operational efficiency. Sportking’s focus on running its plants at near-optimal levels ensures maximum productivity, resource optimization, and consistent quality output.
Expansion-Driven Growth: Acquisition and Greenfield Projects
As part of its strategic forward integration initiative, Sportking India Limited has received in-principle approval for the merger of Marvel Dyers and Processors Pvt. Ltd. and the manufacturing facilities of Sobhagia Sales Pvt. Ltd. with itself. Marvel Dyers specializes in dyeing, printing, and finishing of fabrics, while Sobhagia Sales is engaged in the manufacturing and retailing of readymade garments. This merger marks a significant step in Sportking’s ambition to evolve from a yarn manufacturer into a vertically integrated textile player with capabilities spanning from yarn to finished garments. The forward integration into fabric processing and garment manufacturing will enable the company to offer greater value addition, improve margins, and reduce dependence on third-party processors. It also aligns with the company’s vision to expand further along the textile value chain and strengthen its position in both domestic and international markets
Sustainability at the Core of Operations
Sportking India Ltd. continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable manufacturing through strategic investments in renewable energy. The company has proposed an investment of ₹12.09 crore, representing a 26% equity stake in Evincea Renewable Two Pvt. Ltd., a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established to commission a 40.3 MW solar power plant. This facility will cater to the energy needs of Sportking’s Bathinda and Ludhiana units over a 25-year period, with the scheduled commencement of power supply expected within 15 months. The project is anticipated to deliver power cost savings of approximately 10–12%, contributing meaningfully to operational efficiency and carbon footprint reduction. In addition, Sportking already operates a fully functional 25 MW rooftop solar installation for captive consumption, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to clean energy and environmentally responsible operations. These initiatives collectively underscore Sportking’s vision to embed sustainability into the core of its business strategy.
Financial Resilience and Export Excellence
Sportking reported revenues of ₹2,524 crores in FY25, marking a 15% year-on-year growth. Export revenues contributed 52% to the top line, reflecting the company’s strong global positioning. The profit after tax rose 55% to ₹109 crores, supported by softening input costs and higher capacity utilization.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Munish Avasthi, Chairman & Managing Director, said:
“Our performance in FY25 reflects the strength of our manufacturing backbone, strategic diversification, and disciplined financial management. We continue to prioritize sustainable growth and value creation for all stakeholders. With a robust pipeline of investments and a favorable demand outlook, we are confident in sustaining our momentum in the years ahead.”
Future Outlook: Scaling for Leadership
Sportking India Ltd. is emerging as a future-ready, innovation-driven textile major. With a strong foundation in manufacturing, strategic diversification into high-potential yarns, and a steadfast commitment to sustainability, the company is building an ecosystem geared for long-term leadership. As it expands capacity and deepens global engagement, Sportking stands poised to script a new chapter of value-led growth in the Indian and international textile landscape.
