What part of Raymond exports benefit from the EU deal?
Raymond's suiting and high-end apparel exports to Europe previously faced high tariffs. The EU deal eliminates these, making Raymond competitive with Italian mills.
Will the Raymond factory expansion add meaningfully to earnings?
Yes, the planned capacity doubling at its Gujarat plant could add ₹800 crore in revenue, but execution and demand will be key, with benefits materializing over 12‑18 months.
