Dr K K Birla is the chairman of Sutlej and is also the chairman of the KK Birla Group of companies.

The company has two major units producing synthetic and blended yarns and 100% yarns. It manufactures cotton goods including drills, saris, bed sheets, towels and twills. It is an integrated player in the textiles industry with a value chain extending from yarn at one end and extending to fabric, garments and home textiles at the other, enabling it to address opportunities in every intervening segment.

Historical Background:

Originally, SIL was set up with a composite textile mill at Okara, now in Pakistan. After the partition in 1947, the factory at Okara was seized by the government of Pakistan. In the year 1963, SIL established Rajasthan Textile Mills (RTM) at Bhawanimandi, District Jhalawar, Rajasthan, to produce cotton yarn. In 1970, it diversified into synthetic blended yarn.

In 1981, it leased a spinning unit called Chenab Textile Mills (CTM) from Texmaco Ltd. situated at Kathua (Jammu & Kashmir), manufacturing cotton yarn and synthetic yarn. Subsequently in 1997, SIL purchased all the assets of CTM.  

In 2001, SIL forward integrated its operations by establishing Damanganga Fabrics (DGF) at Daheli in Gujarat to manufacture and process fabrics.

Sutlej has recently installed facilities to manufacture home furnishings and garments at DGF.
