"To ensure the proper utilisation of its assets, such as buildings and premises, the Board of Directors approved the renting out of vacant buildings and sales centres at the Kangra complex, as well as wool carding centres at Udaipur, Holi, and Pooh. This move aims to generate additional revenue for the Board besides promoting self-reliance," he said.

For the ongoing financial year 2026-27, the Board has set a sales target of Rs 112.00 crore under marketing and commercial activities, of which Rs 19.71 crore has already been achieved by July 2026.
