Rajashri Ghosh, the newly appointed CEO-Denim Business, Arvind Limited has been tasked with expanding the company’s high-margin denim fabric division which recently registered a 16 per cent rise in volumes to 15.2 million meters.
The world’s leading vertically integrated denim manufacturer, Arvind Limited reported a 70 per cent Y-o-Y growth in net profit to Rs 107 crore during Q2 FY26. . As global retailers shift toward agile, data-driven sourcing, Arvind is prioritizing ‘ownership-driven outcomes’ to maintain its competitive edge. The company’s verticalization strategy- integrating fabric production with garmenting - delivered a record 10.7 million pieces in the last quarter, reflecting a 17 per cent increase in output. Punit Lalbhai, Vice Chairman, noted, Ghosh’s execution capabilities will prove crucial as the firm navigates a volatile trade environment marked by a Rs 25–30 crore quarterly EBITDA impact from US tariffs.
Sustainability as a commercial lever
Under the new leadership, Arvind is doubling down on its ‘Sustainable-In-Sustainable-Out’ principle. The firm is currently investing Rs 400–450 crore in capital expenditure, a significant portion of which is dedicated to green technology. By sourcing 60 per cent of its energy from renewables and implementing Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) at its Ahmedabad mills, Arvind is positioning itself to meet the stringent ESG requirements of European and American marquee brands. This shift is essential as the Indian denim market is projected to reach $9.15 billion by 2026, driven by a rising domestic preference for eco-friendly, premium ‘clean denim.’
A global textile pioneer and India’s largest denim exporter, Arvind Limited operates an integrated ecosystem from fiber to retail. The company holds a 20 per cent share of the Indian denim market, with a strong focus on high-value, sustainable fabrics for international giants like Gap Inc. and Levi’s. Historically known for inventing ‘Khadi Denim,’ Arvind is now targeting a consolidated revenue goal of Rs 10,000 crore, supported by record quarterly garmenting volumes and expanded renewable energy PPA agreements.
