Rooted in centuries-old weaving traditions, the city now blends heritage with innovation. As factory owner Saurabh Singhla notes, nearly 50 containers of used clothes arrive daily, recycled into yarn and reborn as durable, affordable home textiles — powering Panipat’s resurgence.Panipat’s textile industry has grown into a rare fusion of machine efficiency and timeless craftsmanship. This balance preserves its heritage while powering global growth. Here, local manufacturers weave tradition with technology — spinning fibres into yarn, shaping fabrics, and finishing them with innovation — delivering faster, smarter, and more diverse creations that keep Panipat at the heart of India’s textile story.
