Group's
History
Indian Trade which was under the British Raj till the
late 40's was used to monoply. Similarly the cotton yarn market was controlled
by a group of traders who determined the cotton yarn industry of India.
It was in this period that gave birth to PLR group
which was the brain child of a young man Mr P.R.Prabhakar who belonged
to a conservative family of yarn traders.
He was one of the first people to venture overseas
& begin yarn exports for India. In the late 60's & early 70's,
Textile yarn manufacturing was a Licensed Industry in India. The supply
was limited hence overseas markets were not of interest as the demand could
not be met by the local manufacturers & exports were generally done
through tenders. PLR had booked most of its export orders by these tenders
which were to countries like Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma & East European
Countries.
Durning the early 80's liberalization of the cotton
yard industry was seen & export of yarn become free. PLR
became a major player in the international machete. Over the last
decade the company has built up excellent relationship with buyers in various
countries all over the world.
