Betex India Limited

What Betex India Limited does

Betex India Limited is a publicly listed, B2B textile processing company headquartered in Surat, Gujarat, India. Incorporated in 1987 and listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE: 512477), the company is controlled by the Somani Group of Surat, which assumed management in 1992. Betex India specializes in job processing services — primarily dyeing and printing of art silk cloth and polyester fabrics — supplied by textile manufacturers and fabric suppliers who deliver grey fabrics for processing. The company operates three process houses (Betex India Limited, Sumeet Silk Mills Unit-1, and Sumeet Silk Mills Unit-2) with a combined processing capacity of 55,000 thousand meters per day, or approximately 200 million meters per annum. The customer base is concentrated among textile manufacturers and fabric suppliers in the Surat textile hub, India's primary cluster for art silk and polyester processing.

The company's core technology centers on industrial Jet Dyeing machines (with temperature control up to 130°C), Heat Setting Stenter machines, and printing machines with screens for various colors and designs. The end-to-end processing workflow includes loading, washing, scouring, acid wash, dyeing, heat setting, printing, loop ager color fixation, finishing, 0/0 process, foil application, and folding and packing. As an ancillary initiative, the company installed a 1.25 MW wind mill project at Kutch, Gujarat in 2007 to provide renewable energy. The company's revenue model is service-based: customers supply grey fabric and the company charges per processing job, with pricing negotiated based on fabric type, processing requirements, and order volume. Customer acquisition is conducted through direct B2B relationships in the Surat textile market, with a corporate website serving as the primary marketing channel and the company maintaining standard listed-entity governance and investor relations infrastructure.
