Sumeet Industries was almost a textile Titanic – drowning in debt, bleeding losses, and dragged to insolvency court in 2022. But in true Bollywood climax style, the Eagle Group swooped in, threw ₹100 Cr at the problem, and resurrected the company. Fast-forward to 2025: the stock has run 2,651% in a year, net worth turned positive, and promoters now hold nearly 90%. But beneath the glitzy turnaround is a textile business with wafer-thin 3% margins and a P/E of 104 – making polyester yarn more expensive than Swiss silk.
2. Introduction
Once upon a time in Surat, Sumeet Industries was just another polyester yarn producer, selling POY, FDY, and chips in bulk. Over the years, it built scale – 1 lakh TPA of spinning, 7,200 MTPA texturising, 3.5 million meters woven fabric. Sounds grand, right? Until you see the financials.
In 2022, lenders dragged it into insolvency. Banks had given up. Investors had moved on. But 2024 brought a plot twist – NCLT approved Eagle Group’s resolution plan, banks issued No Dues Certificates, and Sumeet emerged debt-light and cash-pumped.
Now, the Eagle Group is projecting growth through polyester, carpet yarns, and even solar LLP stakes. Investors, hungry for turnaround stories, bid the stock from ₹3 lows to ₹107 highs. The irony? The company that couldn’t stitch profits for a decade now has a market cap of ₹1,100+ Cr.
Question to readers – is this a genuine textile phoenix or just another IBC lottery ticket dressed up as polyester yarn?

Commentary: EBITDA revived, PAT positive, but last quarter included a ₹193 Cr “other income”. Strip that off, the company is still playing gully cricket while being priced like it’s in the World Cup finals.
Annualised EPS (latest quarter) = ~₹3. → P/E = 35x. On FY25’s EPS of ₹193 (inflated by write-backs), P/E = 0.5x. Confused? Welcome to post-IBC accounting.
