Valuation
Investment Thesis
One of India's oldest companies (est. 1920) — originally a Birla Group cotton spinning and weaving mill in Delhi. Has since exited textile manufacturing and pivoted to finance and investment activities. Registered at Hindustan Times House, Kasturba Gandhi Marg — the K.K. Birla group landmark address. Small paid-up capital (₹1.14 Cr) belies its historic legacy. Now essentially a Birla Group investment holding vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Birla Cotton Spinning & Weaving Mills
The Birla Cotton Spinning and Weaving Mills Limited is one of India's oldest corporate entities, incorporated in 1920 — just 9 years after the Companies Act of 1913. The company is part of the broader Birla family legacy, with its registered office at Hindustan Times House, Mezzanine Floor, 18-20, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, New Delhi 110001. The Hindustan Times House address connects it to the K.K. Birla branch of the Birla family, which owns HT Media (Hindustan Times newspaper group). The company has a CIN code prefixed L65100, which classifies it under financial services in MCA records — an unusual categorisation for a cotton textile company. This may reflect the company's transformation over its 100+ year history from an active textile mill to a holding or investment vehicle. Current financial data shows a small operating scale: quarterly sales of approximately ₹1.70 Cr with net profit of ₹1.18 Cr in Q3 FY2026 — suggesting minimal active textile operations and possibly income from investments or property. The company's directors include Sunil Kumar Sahu, Rajendra Kumar Agrawal, Ankush Singhal, Anil Shankar Bhatnagar, Sanchi Sharma, and Manju Gupta — a mix of professional directors rather than the founding Birla family, consistent with a legacy entity. With over 100 years of corporate existence, Birla Cotton Spinning and Weaving Mills represents one of the earliest industrial establishments in India, predating independence by nearly three decades. As a textile company established in 1920, the Birla Cotton Spinning and Weaving Mills was part of Ghanshyam Das Birla's early foray into Indian manufacturing, building on the family's trading origins to establish industrial enterprises as part of India's swadeshi manufacturing movement. Today, with very small revenues but over a century of corporate existence, the company represents a fascinating piece of Indian industrial and Birla family history.
