Rajasthan has emerged as the largest producer of polyester viscose yarn and synthetic suiting material in the country. Bhilwara and Kishangarh are major power loom centers in the state. Over 20,000 functional looms and over 95 crore meters of different blends of polyester fabrics such as polyester wool, polyester viscose modal, and polyester viscose elastane are produced annually in the state.

Besides PV suiting, the state has also made a name for itself in the processing of low-cost and low-weight fabric. With established backward and forward linkages, Rajasthan’s textile industry offers significant competitive advantages. Jodhpur, Pali, Sanganer, and Kota are better known for traditional handloom, fabric and printing. Jaipur is being increasingly accepted as a fashion garment hub.

The textile hub in Rajasthan provides direct and indirect jobs to nearly seven lakh people and contributes 17 per cent to the state’s exports. Rajasthan has emerged as one of the major cotton cultivating states. It contributes about 85 per cent of the country’s annual wool production.

The state provides textile units various concessions and incentives like interest subsidies ranging from five to seven percent, 50 per cent concession on VAT, and 50 per cent concession on entry tax on capital goods.
