The company is exploring newer areas such as athleisure, where it is sensing a significant opportunity.

"Overall the textiles business for us is around Rs 6,000 crore and we would take it to Rs 10,000 crore over the next 4 to 5 years," Aamir Akhtar, Arvind Ltd CEO Lifestyle Fabrics Denim told PTI.

The company expects to continue its CAGR growth of 16 per cent and above in the coming years, he added.

Denim contributes a large chunk at present, he said, adding that the company is also going for verticalisation.

"Rather than just manufacturing fabric, a large part of it would be converted into garments as well," he said adding "the significant customer base which we have, we would be one stop supplier for them and give them entire thing end to end."
