What is Bhiwandi known for in the Indian textile industry?

Bhiwandi, located about 35 km from Mumbai, is one of India largest power-loom weaving centres — the backbone of Maharashtra textile manufacturing. It is primarily a fabric production and trading hub, not a finished garment market.

What Bhiwandi produces:

• Grey fabric (raw unprocessed fabric) — enormous volume
• Polyester, cotton, and blended woven fabrics
• Dress materials in various constructions
• Base fabric for dyeing and printing units

Who buys from Bhiwandi: Dyeing units, printing processors, garment manufacturers, and fabric traders — not typically retail boutique owners. If you are a garment retailer, Surat is more appropriate for finished goods.

Scale: Bhiwandi has over 6 lakh power looms — one of the largest power-loom clusters in Asia.
