Gujarat-based Sintex Industries Ltd mulls investment about Rs 1,800 crore over the next three years for expansion of its various units. The company which acquired Zeppelin Mobile System India in 2005 has also chalked out plans to set up two greenfield projects in Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh for manufacturing telecom shelters, which are installed at the base of telecom towers. Sintex is also planning to enhance the capacity of its over 75-year-old textile division, Bharat Vijay Mills, for an estimated investment of Rs 130-180 crore.
The company is also planning to enter high-end women shirting and upholstery and has introduced over 3,000 designs in Europe. In 2006-07, the textile division accounted for Rs 303 crore of the total Rs 1,100 crore. This share of 28 per cent is likely to come down to 20 per cent this year as the growth in textile year-on-year has been 4-5 per cent as compared with the company''s monolithic and pre-fabricated business where the growth is about 40-50 per cent. The textile division produces cotton structured dyed yarn fabric for high-end clients like Armani. The company has no plans to enter into branded products as of now, Patel said. It is sourcing designs for textile business from the UK and Italy and its entire production would be pre-sold. The company has set its eyes on emerging as a $3-billion company by 2012.
