All about the HomeTex Tech Expo 2020 - Panipat

Introduction

Panipat, is a historic city in Haryana, India. The city is famous in India as the "City of Weavers" and
"Textile City". There is hardly any country, where handloom products manufactured in Panipat are
not supplied. The city is globally known and has more than 30,000 small and big units, where
approximately 3 lakh labourers work. The total business turnover of industries in Panipat is
approximately Rs 35,000 crore per annum, of which Rs 8,000 crore is exported, while Rs27,000
crore is for the domestic market. Panipat is a center of handloom products where carpets,
cushions, velvet cushions, sofa fabrics, bed sheets, curtains and towels among other things are
manufactured. Besides, it has also become a hub of the recycling industry, resulting in the
production of yarn out of discarded clothes.

The Indian textile industry has a significant presence in the economy as well as in the international
textile economy. Its contribution to the Indian economy is manifested in terms of its contribution to
the industrial production, employment generation and foreign exchange earnings. Therefore
Panipat contributes to a great extent in this area.

Here, the raw materials for home furnishing industries are sourced mainly from spinning mills and
power loom industries. Procurement of raw material is one of the great concerns of the production
processes adopted for home furnishing material to maintain the best quality standards of the final
product. Home furnishing and carpet manufacturing units are mainly exporting to both developing
and developed countries whereas spinning/yarn, processing/dyeing/printing units are processing
the intermediate yarn/grey for final product manufacturers. A few manufacturers also have local
market and supply chain systems under various reputed brands in India.
