The slump sale process is expected to be completed in three months’ time.

Ginni Filaments is engaged in the manufacturing of traditional textiles comprising of yarn, fabric and garments and technical textiles comprising of nonwovens and consumer products. RSWM is one of the largest and well-established manufacturers of textile products. It is positioned to infuse capital and strengthen its position in this segment. The employees of the various units of Ginni will be secure and have future growth prospects, the company said in a media release.
