So the Indian textile industry can experience world class textile manufacturing technology under one roof. Weaving machinery and technology supplier Picanol will showcase its airjet Omniplus- i loom with Smartshed, which will be displayed working on denim fabric with warp beam from Arvind Mills and operate at production speed above 1000 rpm.

The Indian textile industry has continuously invested in innovations and technology upgradations as global opportunities open up. The backbone of the Indian textile industry, the spinning sector has of late been facing a tight demand situation due to the US-China trade war, China’s trade agreements with Pakistan and Vietnam, as well as high domestic cotton prices. This has resulted in slower investment in the spinning sector this year. However, the trade war has also brought new opportunities to weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing and wet processing and garmenting. Global brands and retailers are looking for Indian suppliers with economy of scale plants with state-of-the-art process technology. Therefore, the Indian weaving, processing and garmenting sectors are still in the investment mode and resource efficient technologies are in demand.
