TSM chairman MM Basheer said that the mill has shifted focus to South Asian markets from selling its yarn in Kolkata, where it gets better price.

Basheer added that as the machinery purchased was not ideal for making yarns used by the local handloom industry for manufacturing sarees and ‘mundus’. TSM plans to make a depot to help other spinning mills in the state to procure yarn.
