“Surat is fast emerging as a new hub for warp knitting in India. Surat being a hub for textile value addition and a major supplier to the domestic market took immediate advantage of increased demand and started invested in new generation high speed warp knitting machinery. Easy availability of raw material, processing facilities and skilled labour helped Surat warp knitting industry to grow at a higher rate than other knitting sectors.
“The major reason for this surge in wrap knitting machines was as the pro-industry government policies such as TUFS for new machines and also the increased technological awareness of warp knitting and its versatility. “The current trend is just a beginning of fashion cycle and is expected to remain for a longer period, till it reaches the masses”, he summed up by saying.
