Indian textile industry produces close to 15000MT of dyed polyester/viscose yarn. Units such as RSWM group, CTM group, ShreeRajasthan syntex, Sangam spinners, Orient syntax, Grasim Industries (Bhiwaniunit), Deepak spinners are some of the leading producers in northern belt. Thelist is a long one and these are just a few of them. A look at the yarn exportsin polyester/ viscose blended yarn. A look at the Indian exports inpolyester/blended yarn export confirms that 50000MT/month+ exports are quitelarge, India has 30%+ share in this category, next to Indonesia but in dyed yarn the largest exporting nation.


The tradition of manufacturing fiber dyed yarnis more than four decades old in India. However, with increased productivity atring frame, pressure on margins, competitiveness in export, overall yarnquality redefined now as even non objectionable faults being consideredobjectionable assumes critical importance in todays context. These newerdimensions provokes thought, encourages debate and helps us to evolve in abetter way and therefore needs rethinking in order to maintain our leadershipin this segment. The present research work deals in an in depth scientificapproach towards these aspects.


Key words- Polyester, Viscose, dyeing, dyes andchemicals, yarn, blends, spinning, global trade.
