Seven textile parks will come up in Rajasthan under SITP (Scheme for Integrated Textile Parks). For each SITP, the Center will provide an assistance of Rs 40 crores. After Gujarat and Maharashtra, Rajasthan will emerge as a textile hub in the future.
Over the last few decades, Rajasthan has emerged as a promising textile center. An abundance of raw material and trained labor has promoted the growth of the textile industry in the state. Rajasthan is a leading producer of polyester viscose yarn and synthetic suiting material as well low-cost, low-weight fabric. The state is the largest producer of PV suitings in the country. Bhilwara is India's largest manufacturer of suiting fabrics and yarn.
Out of 862 spinning mills spread across India, 69 are in Rajasthan. The state has been associated with the production of color fabrics in the Maru-Gurjar tradition since ancient times. The sense of color aesthetics has led to the use of colors and motifs intended for different occasions. Rajasthan has a wide variety of textile traditions, the most famous being the tie and dye or bandhani and block printing methods. Rajasthan contributes over 7.5 per cent of India’s production of cotton and blended yarn.
