What is Panipat famous for in the Indian textile industry?

Panipat in Haryana has earned a unique position in the Indian textile industry as the "City of Weavers" and India recycled textile capital. It processes an enormous volume of recycled and reclaimed textile fibres — mostly imported used clothing — back into usable fabric and yarn.

Key products from Panipat:

• Recycled wool blankets and shawls (very affordable)
• Shoddy yarn (recycled fibre yarn)
• Recycled cotton for industrial and filling use
• Relief blankets for government and NGO supply
• Handloom fabric using recycled fibre

Wholesale relevance: Panipat is important for buyers sourcing affordable blankets for institutional supply (railways, army, NGO relief, hospitals) and for businesses with sustainability and recycling positioning. Not a fashion garment market.
