Engagement with Decathlon India was strengthened through an MoU under its Ecosis™ initiative, targeting adoption of high-quality recycled polyester in sports apparel and structured recycling trials. This collaboration supports the industry’s shift toward sustainable sourcing and waste reduction.
Filatex’s transformation strategy, as emphasized by management, includes a shift away from purely virgin PFY production toward an integrated circular producer model, aligning with emerging regulatory norms (e.g., requirements for recycled content in the EU by 2030).
Chairman and Managing Director Madhu Sudhan Bhageria stated that Q3 was marked by stable revenue, improving margins and a continued pivot to higher-value products, reflecting the resilience of Filatex’s operating model in a competitive global textile market.
He highlighted supportive macro factors including policy tailwinds from the India EU free trade agreement, reduced US tariffs, and Europe’s heightened focus on sustainability-led sourcing as catalysts for future growth.
