So, our sales cost comes down as does our costs on freight and insurance. We can also control our debtors in a much better manner as our inventory is pretty low. We maintain finished goods inventory of only 3-4 days while our raw material inventory is for one month. Therefore, our working capital is only around Rs1.8bn out of the topline of Rs8.5bn. Normally, working capital of a textile company is 30-40% of the topline. Our inventory cycle and debtor cycle are the lowest in the industry. We control the pricing power in polyester viscose yarn, as our market share in 2/15 and 2/18 count yarn is close to 65%. That is why our operating margin is the highest in the industry. There is a gap of 3-7% in our operating margin and that of the rivals"
