Nahar Spinning Mills reported a more than fourfold jump in net profit to Rs 69.88 crore for Q1 FY27, up from Rs 15.96 crore in the same quarter last year, as the Ludhiana-based yarn maker’s revenue rose to Rs 966.10 crore from Rs 819.28 crore. The results place Nahar Spinning among the standout performers in this quarter’s textile earnings season.
The company’s roughly 18 percent revenue growth was accompanied by even sharper profit growth, pointing to significant margin expansion during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. Like several other Indian spinning mills, Nahar benefited from the government’s decision to exempt cotton import duty from June 1 to October 30, 2026, which removed the 11 percent customs duty on cotton imports and lowered raw material costs for yarn producers just as the quarter began.
Why Did Nahar Spinning’s Profit Grow Faster Than Revenue?
The gap between Nahar Spinning’s roughly 18 percent revenue growth and its profit growth of more than 300 percent signals substantial margin recovery, likely driven by the combination of lower cotton input costs from the duty exemption and improved yarn realisations. As a pure-play spinning company with less diversification than integrated peers like Vardhman Textiles, Nahar’s results are particularly sensitive to raw cotton price movements, making the government’s duty relief especially impactful for its cost structure this quarter.
What Does This Mean for India’s Cotton Spinning Industry?
Nahar Spinning’s results echo a broader pattern among Indian yarn spinners this earnings season, with Vardhman Textiles also reporting a 41 percent profit jump on stronger spinning margins tied to the same cotton duty exemption. The consistency of margin improvement across multiple spinning-focused companies suggests the policy change is delivering broad-based relief to India’s cotton yarn segment, even as fabric and garment exporters continue to navigate separate challenges from US tariff-related order delays.
Market Reaction and Industry Response
Textile sector investors have responded positively through 2026 to the cotton duty relief, with spinning-focused stocks among the biggest beneficiaries given their direct exposure to raw cotton costs. Nahar Spinning’s sharp profit recovery adds further evidence that the policy intervention is achieving its stated goal of supporting domestic textile manufacturers facing global cotton price volatility and competitive pressure from other cotton-producing nations.
What Happens Next?
Investors will watch whether Nahar Spinning can sustain this margin recovery once the cotton duty exemption expires on October 30, 2026, and whether the government extends the relief given its apparent effectiveness in supporting spinning mill profitability. The company’s performance into the second half of FY27 will offer an early signal of how dependent this quarter’s turnaround was on the temporary duty relief versus underlying operational improvements.
