Authorised Signatory
In the year 2001, the promoters adopted backward integration and set up a knitting and
dying unit in the name of V&S Texnits (P) Ltd. This company started with a production
level of 5 tons per day and has successfully implemented two expansion programs and
brought up its production level to 20 tons per day. This company was enjoying credit
facilities from Standard Chartered Bank and State Bank of India.
During the year 2005, the promoters purchased a company, namely Manu Creations (P)
ltd. for setting up yet another unit for garment manufacturing. Financial assistance for
Manu Creations was availed from Union Bank of India.
After having implemented the expansion in various units, V & S invited SIDBI Venture
Capital Ltd. to become strategic partner in potential growth of the group. SVCL invested
Rs. 30 Crores in the form of Preferential Share Capital (convertible into equity share
capital on a pre valuation basis). Compliance of the terms of SVCL, required the
amalgamation of V&S Texnits (P) Ltd and Manu Creations (P) Ltd. with V&S International
(P) Ltd.
The amalgamation scheme had been approved by the H’nble High Court of Delhi in
May’2007 w.e.f. 1.4.2006 and being implemented by the company.

The phasing out of the quotas in 2005, instinctively led to intensified investment in the
textile industry for expansion and mordernisation of the existing plant as also for setting
up new projects. The industry was gearing up to get voluminous orders. However, the
forceful competition from China did not let Indian exporters enjoy the fruits of abolition of
quotas. The pricing of garments manufactured in China was much lower than those
manufactured in India. Eventually Chinese manufacturers could also not sustain on such
low realisations due increase in power cost and labour cost. Presently cost variance
between Chinese Garments and Indian garments is not significant, as a result India
becomes the preferential market.
While we have started to get good orders now, the rupee appreciation has definitely
squeezed the margins for us as well as other exporters. In view of the same we have
changed our locational sales mix from 60:40 to 40:60 for sales between American and
European market.
On the whole India caters to only 8-10% of the worldwide garment industry, hence there
are no major competitors. Moreover garments manufactured in Northern India are
majorly on value addition basis, while Southern India caters to basic garment
manufacturing.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
FOR DYEING UNIT
The flow chart involving various stages of the dyeing process is as under:
Lot Making
(Machine wise dyeing Batch)
Hydro Squeezer
(to remove excess water from fabric)
Relax Dryer
(Drying of Fabric under relaxed stage with residual shrinkage control)
Compactor
(Shrinkage control along with dimensional stability)
Fabric Checking
(Defect Identification – Quality Control)
Dispatch
The rolls of fabric are taken to the dyeing section where they are fed into dyeing
machines. Dyeing/ processing takes place in a closed loop under relaxed conditions
(necessary due to the delicate nature of knitted fabric). Each cycle for dyeing takes
approximately 6-8 hours and each cycle for bleaching takes approximately 4-5 hours.
The dyed/-bleached fabric is then fed through a detwister and hydro Squeezer, which
reduces the moister contents in the fabric, by 65%-80%. This can be varied by
adjusting the speed and pressure of hydro extracting rollers. Thereafter, the fabric is
fed in shrink dryer which dries the fabric in a relaxed manner so as to minimize
shrinkage. With compacting machine a clean and smooth finish is being given to the
fabric through steaming the fabric by way of overfeed mechanism, which control the
ultimate shrinkage.
Knitted fabric can be widely classified into two categories viz. single jersey and
double jersey. There are several derivatives of the two basic structures of the knitted
fabric.
Yarn can be knitted either on circular knitting machines or on flat knitting machines to
produce knitted fabric. Fabrics produced on circular knitting machines are being used
for manufacturing of Ready-made Garments. Fabric produced on flat knitting
machines is used to make accessories of garments like collars and cuffs etc.
Creel: This an arrangement to stack yarn packages, which are further, knitted into
fabric.
Feeding Zone: This is an arrangement to ensure accurate feeding rate of yarn as per
quality requirement. This is done by virtue of positive feeder, which may be equivalent
for the accumulator in weaving technology.
Knitting Zone: This is where the true inter- linking of loops occur with the help of
needle movements in pre defined profile. Successive loop formations are added
along the length of the fabric knitted in circular knitting. The fabric is constructed in
tubular manner.
Take-Up Zone: This zone is nothing but an arrangement on the machine to facilitate
accurate winding of the fabric formed in the knitting zone to create a bale/ roll of fabric
which is the final output of the process.
All the above four zones are the integral part of the circular knitting machine.
Semi skilled workers are entrusted into creeling, drawing-in, running, observation and
doffing of bales/ rolls.
Skilled and trained persons look after the intrinsic setting and running parameters.
FOR READY MADE GARMENTS
The production process of the proposed unit can be divided into two major sections.
i) Processing of Grey fabric
ii) Garments Manufacturing Section
a) Cutting Section
The fabric will be spread out in layers on the Cutting Tables. Upto 150 t0 200
Layers would be spread on the Tables. Thereafter the pattern on the basis of
which the garment is to the stitched will be placed on the fabric. The cutting of
the fabric will be undertaken by automated Straight Knife Cutting Machine, which
has the capability to cut upto 300 layers at a time. Also it improves accuracy in
cutting and precise fitting of garments for all sizes.
b) Sewing Section
i) Automated Plain Stitches
This section has been balanced perfectly with multi purpose Sewing Machine as
well as specialised machines with a high level of automation. The basic Multi
Purpose Sewing Machines would be equipped with Electronic Motors which
perform certain functions automatically at a very high speed resulting in error free
production, savings in other raw material consumption’s and time saving for
operators. All these three would contribute significantly to overall high standard
of quality and low production cost of the garments. The basic machines would be
equipped with Automatic Back Tacking function that would ensure stitches of any
component of the garment is firmly secured at both ends. This in turn will
eliminate the possibility of loose stitches. These machines are also equipped
with proper needle positioning to make sure considerable reduction in handling
time for the operator coupled with Thread Trimming Device which would cut the
thread at the end of each operation to reduce thread wastage and give a neat
finish to the garment.
ii) Button Hole and Button Stitch
Buttons holes and button stitching on the garments will be done on specialised
automatic Button Hole and Button Stitch machine to give proper shape of button
hole and proper attachment of button at a very high speed.
iii) Special Purpose Machines
Overlock Machines and Flatlock machines will join sleeves and seaming sides, in
one operation. These machines sew parts of a garment together and
simultaneously cut waste fabric. This gives smooth finish to stitched edges of
garment for better comfort in wearing.

Every industry has its own ups and downs. Textile industry is no exception. One of the
major concern in present times being the fluctuation of currency rates. India’s exports of
Textile have been adversely affected due to the appreciation in the value of the Indian
Rupee vis-à-vis US Dollar in the recent months. But the Government has provided
several relief measures, which include increase in duty entitlement and Duty draw back
rates, exemption from service tax on certain services, reduction in interest rates of pre-
shipment and post shipment credit and faster clearance of arrears to terminal excise
duties and Central sales Tax. Another proposal for increase in working hours of labor,
from 8 to 10, is under active consideration.
India is increasingly being looked upon as a major supplier of high quality fashion
apparels. Today many leading fashion labels are being associated with Indian Products.
Indian apparels have come to be appreciated in major markets internationally.
M/s V&S International (P) Ltd. is also one of the manufacturers of such high fashioned
garments. Distinct styles, designs, embellishments, and customized specifications are
incorporated in our range, which make our products readily acceptable to the overseas
buyers. Our clientele consists of reputed brands like LITTLE WOOD, VAN HEUSEN,
DEBHNAMS, IZOD, CWC, MARKS & SPENCERS, NEXT, CARRFOUR and

decade.
In the expansion program, undertaken during the last two financial years, company has
set up four new establishments. It is now concentrating on shifting operations from
various smaller units of the company to these four units, Company shall henceforth be in
a position to enjoy the pecuniary economies of scales wherein procurement cost,
administrative cost, logistics cost etc. are reduced and production is also increased.
While the government is making all efforts to promote the textile industry, we at V&S
make all endeavors to make our presence felt in this promising industry.
