Over the past few years, PDS\u2019 manufacturing segment has undergone a strong transformation, stabilising operations and delivering profitability, with revenues increasing from \u20b9285 crore (~$31.35 million) and a PBT loss of \u20b9104 crore (~$11.44 million) in FY21 to \u20b9788 crore in revenues and PBT of \u20b933 crore in FY25. With this foundation in place, the Company is focused on scaling its manufacturing operations by aligning customer engagement and operational best practices across units. While individual manufacturing units \u2013 including Good Earth and Progress Apparels in Bangladesh and recently\u00a0 acquired (May 2025) Knit Gallery in India with revenue of \u20b9267crore in FY25, will continue to operate as independent profit centres, this approach allows PDS to present its combined manufacturing capabilities to customers, support longer-term and higher-value relationships, and drive cost efficiencies and consistent operating practices as scale increases.<\/p>\n
PDS has strengthened its manufacturing leadership to scale operations, deepen customer engagement and move up the value chain.
\nAfter turning its manufacturing segment profitable, PDS will align capabilities across units while retaining independent profit centres.
