K.P.R. Mill Approves ₹1,225 Crore Textile Expansion Including 45-Million Garment Greenfield Plant in Odisha
K.P.R. Mill Limited's Board of Directors approved a ₹1,225 crore capital expenditure plan on August 10, 2026, to expand and modernize its manufacturing facilities across garments, processing, knitting, and spinning segments. The investment is expected to generate an additional turnover of ₹2,000 crore from the new capacities and will be funded entirely through internal accruals.
The plan comprises three greenfield projects and four modernization-cum-expansion projects, with completion timelines spanning from Q4 FY27 to Q2 FY28. The largest allocation, ₹450 crore, is for a new Ready-Made Garment (RMG) manufacturing facility in Odisha with a capacity of 45 million garments per annum, expected to be completed by Q1 FY28. This is followed by a ₹250 crore greenfield processing factory in Perundurai with a capacity of 10,000 MT per annum, and a ₹75 crore greenfield sweater factory in Karumathampatti with a capacity of 2.5 million garments per annum.
On the modernization side, the company will invest ₹175 crore in Spinning Mill Unit 1 and ₹85 crore in Spinning Mill Unit 3, both in Karumathampatti, alongside ₹100 crore for knitted fabric capacity expansion at Neelambur (20,000 MT/annum) and ₹90 crore at Arasur (15,000 MT/annum).
The expansion reflects K.P.R. Mill's strategy to deepen vertical integration across the textile value chain, from raw material processing to finished garment manufacturing. The new Odisha facility is positioned to leverage regional manufacturing incentives and export opportunities, while the Coimbatore modernization projects aim to enhance efficiency and output quality at existing units.
