In recent developments, GTN Textiles Limited ceased operations at its Aluva, Kerala plant in June 2022 due to unsustainable wages, capital shortages, and rising cotton costs, shifting focus to outsourcing cotton yarn manufacturing or trading as permitted by its Memorandum of Association. The company sold portions of its property, plant, and equipment in fiscal 2023-24, generating proceeds of Rs 2,693 lakhs, and entered a fresh Memorandum of Understanding on April 8, 2024, for the sale of 28.13 acres of land for Rs 92 crore total consideration, with 24.67 acres in the first phase at Rs 80 crore after regulatory approvals and lender no-objection certificates. Post-sale, after settling bank dues, trade creditors, and liabilities, GTN Textiles Limited plans to achieve a debt-free status and deploy surplus funds into outsourced yarn production, trading, or other permitted businesses to revive operations.
