At a Glance

Harish Textile Engineers Ltd is a micro-cap company making textile processing machinery, polyester staple fiber (recycled from PET bottles), and some niche non-woven fabric products. The stock is up from its ₹48 lows to ₹66, but FY25 saw a red flag audit, qualified opinions, debenture defaults, and a liquidity crunch. Should we call this sustainable innovation or textile turbulence?


1. 🎬 Intro: Promoter Holding Down, P/E Up – This Microcap Is Confusing AF

  • ₹22 Cr market cap company with a P/E of 91.7. Yes, 91.
  • Promoters once held 65.9%, now down to 48.1%. Exit route? You decide.
  • Sales? Up just 9.56% over 5 years. Not exactly compounding brilliance.
  • FY25 audit note? 👇 “Liquidity crunch. Rights issue cancelled. Negative working capital. Debenture default.”
    Basically, Textile Titanic meets creative compliance.

2. 🧺 WTF Do They Even Do?

Harish Textile’s product bouquet:

  • Textile Machinery – Sells finishing, drying, and coating machinery across India + exports to 25 countries (including UK).
  • Regenerated Polyester Staple Fiber (RPSF) – Made from recycled PET bottles. ESG bros, assemble!
  • Non-woven Fabrics – Supplies for hygiene, filtration, and auto interiors.
  • Side Hustle – Trading in non-ferrous metals. Because why not?

They operate 3 segments but act like 13. Diversified? Maybe. Diluted? Definitely.


3. 💰 Financials: Profit? Barely. Margins? Rarely.
