Owing to the losses suffered by sweater and jacket manufacturers during past three years, many players are now shifting to manufacturing of jeans, trousers and shirts in Ludhiana. Besides, many jeans washing units have been established in the city after seeing the huge production of denim over here. As Ludhiana is known for its hosiery products all over the world now the trend has changed in a drastic manner.

Entrepreneurs, who own a washing units used to wash the jeans at a small level but for past few months they are not able to complete orders in time. The industry has now seen a change in trend in manufacturing of goods. While some businessmen have already shifted to manufacturing trousers and shirts, many others are planning the same. Huge stocks of hosiery goods are lying in godowns of manufacturers even this year.

Industrialist say, there were times when Ludhiana industry used to manufacture only hosiery products like sweater, jackets among others. But now time has changed and people want to expand their business by manufacturing other garments as well. These are just few of many examples to name.
