Yajur Fibres Limited (YAJUR)

Overview

Yajur Fibres Limited is a premier manufacturer specializing in premium cottonised bast fibres, particularly focusing on flax (linen), jute, and hemp. The company operates one of India’s largest bast fibre processing and cottonising units located in Howrah, West Bengal. Established in 1980 as a part of the renowned Kankaria Group—an entity with over 80 years of experience in the jute industry—Yajur Fibres has become a leader in converting long and brittle bast fibres into soft, short staple fibres that closely mimic cotton. This innovative technology allows blends of up to 55% with cotton and synthetic fibres in standard spinning systems.

The extensive product portfolio of Yajur Fibres encompasses cottonised flax, jute, and hemp fibres, as well as flax yarn and jute yarn. These products find applications across multiple sectors including apparel, home textiles, insulation, geotextiles, non-woven felts, automotive components, and even currency paper. Operating on a B2B model, Yajur supplies its products to over 260 consumers, including repeat clients from India, Turkey, Indonesia, Nepal, and Bangladesh, supported by a strong network of agents, trade fairs, and recognized certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, OEKO-TEX, and European Flax. Further solidifying its commitment to sustainability, Yajur Fibres acquired an 80% stake in Yashoda Linen Yarn Limited in January 2025, marking the establishment of a greenfield wet-spun linen yarn unit in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. With a monthly capacity exceeding 300 MT, Yajur Fibres is a pivotal contributor to providing eco-friendly fibre solutions for the global textile market.
