Frequently Asked Questions
About S. Kumars Nationwide Limited
S. Kumars Nationwide Limited was one of India's largest textile conglomerates, incorporated in 1990, with vertically integrated multi-fibre manufacturing capabilities across fabrics, apparel, and home textiles. The company operated brands and supplied to major domestic and international retail chains, achieving revenues of approximately Rs. 2,656 Cr at its peak. A Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) was initiated in May 2018 following severe financial distress, and the company subsequently entered liquidation. AAA Insolvency Professionals LLP has been appointed as liquidator. Assets are being sold through e-auction on a going concern basis under NCLT orders. The company reported a net loss of Rs. 612 Cr in its final reported period. The Kasliwal family promoted the company, which was once a marquee name in Indian textiles with suiting brands known across the country. As with many large textile groups from the 2000s, excessive leverage and working capital strain led to insolvency. Equity shareholders face near-certain zero recovery.
