What happened
Small and mid-sized textile and apparel companies are increasingly using the SME IPO route to raise capital for capacity expansion, working capital, and debt reduction. This trend is supported by government investment initiatives. Companies are also diversifying their production into synthetic, technical, and specialized fabrics.
