About the Panipat textile market
Blankets, towels, bed linen, curtains, floor coverings and durries dominate output, much of it exported. The city's distinctive strength is recycling — post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste is pulled back into shoddy yarn and rewoven, which supports genuinely low price points and increasingly matters to buyers with sustainability requirements.
Buyers sourcing made-ups rather than yardage will find the deepest supplier base here, from small job-work units through to large export houses.

Panipat textile market — FAQs
What is shoddy yarn?
Yarn spun from reclaimed textile waste that has been shredded back to fibre. Panipat is the centre of this trade in India, and it underpins the low-cost blanket and durrie industry.
Is Panipat good for yardage?
Less so. Panipat's strength is finished home textiles and made-ups rather than plain fabric by the metre.
