Active Clothing Co has demonstrated operational resilience, reporting a total income of Rs 97.36 crore for Q3, FY26 ended December 31, 2025. This performance marks a robust 17.03 per cent sequential growth from Rs 83.19 crore in the September quarter, significantly outperforming the broader apparel sector's 5 per cent average growth rate. The Mohali-based manufacturer, which produces high-performance knitwear for global leaders like Puma and Adidas, achieved a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 3.50 crore. Rajesh Mehra, Managing Director, notes, the results validate the company's ‘design-to-shelf’ model, which maintained steady delivery schedules despite recent global supply chain realignments.

Capital infusion targeted at smart factory integration

To sustain this momentum, the board recently approved a Rs 23 crore fundraise through the issuance of 20 lakh warrants at Rs 115 each. This capital is earmarked for the operationalization of India’s first ‘Knit to Shape’ smart factory in partnership with Ningbo Cixing. By deploying 600 computerized knitting machines, the firm aims to transition to zero-waste, 3D seamless production. This technological upgrade is critical as the industry faces narrowing EBITDA margins- currently 9.29 per cent for Active Clothing—due to rising employee benefit expenses and logistical volatility. The expansion aligns with the government’s ‘Tex-Eco’ initiative, positioning the firm to capture a larger share of the projected $2.3 trillion global apparel market by 2030 through enhanced precision and sustainability.

Active Clothing Co is an integrated apparel powerhouse specializing in flat-knitted sweaters, athleisure, and outerwear. Serving 50+ global brands across 30 countries, the firm is scaling toward a ₹500 crore revenue target within three years. Despite high debt-to-equity ratios, it remains a leader in North India’s specialized garment manufacturing landscape.
