The company, considering its high level of international operations and
present internal financial reporting based on geographical location of
customer, has identified geographical segment as primary segment.

b) International (Sales to Customers located outside India)
Revenue directly attributable to segments is reported based on items
that are individually identifiable to that segment. The company
believes that it is not practical to allocate segment expenses, segment
results, fixed assets used in the company''s business or liabilities
contracted since the resources/services/assets are used interchangeably
within the segments. Accordingly, no disclosure relating to same is
made

The company is operating in a single business i.e. Textile and as such
all business activities revolve around this segment. Hence, there is no
separate secondary segment to be reported considering the requirement
of AS 17 on Segment Reporting
