Textile industry in India is the second largest employment generator in India after agriculture. It provides direct employment to over 35 million people in the country. And its share in the gross domestic product of the country stands at 4%.
Textile is not new to India; it was there even four thousand years back. If archeological surveys and studies could be believed, Harappan people were quite familiar with weaving and the spinning of cotton. The ancient scriptures also have mentions about weaving and spinning of the cotton. Merchants in the ancient India would trade cotton for the spices and other valuable objects.
Cotton is the major fibre produced in the country for the production of textile products such as modern terry towels and bathrobes. The textile exporters in India would make their products using different varieties of cotton such as organic cotton. For that matter, organic cotton is the most natural cotton that one can get. Other fibres that are produced by companies include silk, wool, man-made fibers, and jute.
India is the second largest producer of fiber in the world. During 2009-10, the industry was pegged at US$55 billion; in 2010, there were around 2500 textile weaving factories and 4,135 textile finishing factories in the country. These numbers have steadily gone up after 2010.
