Top 10 Best Textile Industries In India 2026

India's textile and apparel market reached USD 248.70 billion in 2025, according to IMARC Group, and the companies driving that figure range from polyester giants to premium innerwear licensors. Our ranking of the top 10 best textile industries in India for 2026 weighs revenue, market capitalization, and market-position classifications to identify which players actually control the value chain. Some names here post billions in revenue through sheer manufacturing volume, while others command higher valuations through brand equity alone. The mix tells you plenty about where the money sits in Indian textiles right now.

How We Ranked These

We built this list by cross-referencing three data sets: revenue figures from ZoomInfo's October 2026 India textile rankings, market capitalization data from 2026 LinkedIn rankings, and market-position classifications from IMARC Group's 2026 analysis, which sorts companies into categories like Market Leader and Strong Challenger. Revenue alone doesn't determine placement. A company with lower sales but dominant brand equity, like Page Industries, can outrank larger manufacturers. We weighed scale, valuation, vertical integration, and export strength together rather than relying on any single metric.

These Are The Top 10 Best Textile Industries In India 2026:

1. Reliance Industries (Textiles & Apparel Division)

Reliance Industries anchors India's largest private-sector textile ecosystem through its textiles and apparel operations, and its subsidiary Alok Industries carries a market capitalization of ₹9,384 crore. The vertically integrated model spans polyester fiber, yarn, fabric, and branded apparel, which gives the company unmatched reach across the entire value chain.

IMARC Group's 2026 market analysis identifies Reliance-linked operations and the Aditya Birla Group as the market leaders driving India's textile and apparel sector to that USD 248.70 billion figure in 2025. The combination of petrochemical feedstock, fiber production, and retail distribution through Reliance Retail means few competitors can match its cost structure or scale. For anyone tracking where Indian textiles are headed, Reliance's polyester-to-retail pipeline is the benchmark.

2. Aditya Birla Group (Grasim Industries / Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail)

Grasim Industries, the flagship textile and pulp arm of the Aditya Birla Group, reported $18.1 billion in revenue according to ZoomInfo's October 2026 data. Headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, the company employs over 10,000 people and operates brands including Linen Club, Liva, and Raysil.

What separates Grasim from pure manufacturers is the fiber-to-fashion integration. Birla Cellulose gives the group leadership in man-made cellulosic fibers, while Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail handles branded apparel and retail. IMARC Group classifies the group as a Market Leader for 2026, and Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail is repeatedly cited among the top Indian textile and apparel leaders for the fiscal year. Few Indian companies control both the raw material and the consumer-facing brand the way this group does.

3. Shahi Exports

Shahi Exports tops ZoomInfo's list of Textiles & Apparel companies in India by revenue as of October 2026, posting $21.1 billion. That figure is the highest reported revenue on the India textile list, though it reflects gross or aggregate numbers that may not be directly comparable to listed-company revenues.

Headquartered in Faridabad Sector, Haryana, Shahi is one of India's largest apparel manufacturers and exporters, supplying major global fashion brands. The company's workforce exceeds 10,000 employees, and its export-oriented manufacturing base makes it a pillar of India's garment export story. While Grasim and Reliance hold broader integrated operations, Shahi's concentration in apparel manufacturing at this scale is difficult to replicate.

4. Welspun Living (Welspun India)

Welspun Living recorded ₹10,545 crore in revenue in the FY 2026 estimate, the highest among Indian textile and apparel leaders on that measure, with a market capitalization of ₹12,312 crore. Revenue grew 8.9%, though profit fell 4.3% over the same period.

The company is one of the largest exporters of home textiles globally, known for towels, rugs, and bedsheets, and supplies retail giants including Walmart and Target. Its brand portfolio includes Christy, Spaces, Welspun, Martha Stewart, and Welhome. IMARC Group classifies Welspun as a Strong Challenger with a focus on export-oriented home textile manufacturing. The profit dip is worth watching, but the global export footprint in home textiles remains unmatched in India.

5. Page Industries

Page Industries holds a market capitalization of ₹49,430 crore, making it the most valuable textile company in India by valuation. The company is the exclusive licensee of Jockey in India and also holds the Speedo International license for production, distribution, and marketing in the country.

Its retail network includes 384 exclusive brand outlets across India, split between 286 high street locations and 98 in malls, plus four Jockey outlets in the UAE and two in Sri Lanka. The Jockey brand leads the innerwear category, and that brand equity, combined with premium margins, explains why a licensor outvalues far larger manufacturers. Page Industries proves that in Indian textiles, brand loyalty can be worth more than factory capacity.

6. KPR Mill

KPR Mill ranks second in market capitalization among Indian textile companies at ₹38,268 crore. The company is vertically integrated across spinning, processing, and apparel production, with a strong export presence.

Its valuation reflects investor confidence in efficient manufacturing and a growing garment export business rather than brand ownership. KPR Mill is frequently grouped with Page Industries as one of the two most valuable textile companies in India, which says something about how the market rewards integrated yarn-to-garment operations. The company doesn't carry the household name recognition of Raymond or Page, but its balance sheet and export book speak for themselves.

7. Arvind Limited

Founded in 1931 and headquartered in Ahmedabad, Arvind Limited generates approximately $1.5 billion in annual revenue and holds a market capitalization of ₹8,570 crore. The company specializes in denim, woven fabrics, and textiles for various applications.

Arvind owns or licenses brands including Flying Machine, Arrow, US Polo, Calvin Klein, and Tommy Hilfiger. IMARC Group classifies it as a Strong Challenger with leadership in denim and woven textiles, and the company ranks among the world's top 10 largest textile manufacturers. Its commitment to sustainability and advanced materials gives it a foothold in segments beyond traditional apparel. Ninety-plus years in the business and still expanding into new material categories is a rare trajectory in this industry.

8. Raymond

Raymond is synonymous with premium suiting in India, headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. ZoomInfo lists the company at $1.6 billion in revenue with 5,000 to 10,000 employees as of October 2026, alongside a market capitalization of ₹7,987 crore.

Beyond textiles, Raymond has diversified into lifestyle products, real estate, and engineering. That diversification makes it one of India's most recognized branded textile companies rather than a pure-play manufacturer. Its premium positioning in suiting and menswear gives it pricing power and brand loyalty that commodity textile producers can't match. The real estate and engineering arms add revenue streams that most textile peers lack entirely.

9. Trident Group

Trident Group is a leading Indian home-textile and yarn manufacturer, cited among the top 10 Indian textile and apparel leaders in the FY 2026 estimate alongside Welspun Living and Reliance. The company is a major exporter of terry towels, bed linen, and paper.

Its integrated manufacturing across Punjab and Madhya Pradesh supports large-scale export capacity, and its presence in global home-textile markets is substantial. Trident's consistent appearance in top-leader rankings reflects how central it is to India's home-textile export economy. The paper business, often overlooked, adds a diversification layer that pure textile exporters don't have.

10. Alok Industries

Alok Industries is a Reliance-backed company with a market capitalization of ₹9,384 crore, placing it among India's top textile companies by valuation. Its product portfolio covers apparel fabrics, garments, and polyester.

The company is regaining momentum after a challenging financial phase, and its integration with Reliance's polyester and retail ecosystem strengthens its long-term positioning. Alok's broad product range, combined with backing from India's largest conglomerate, keeps it in the top tier despite past difficulties. For a company that went through insolvency proceedings, holding a spot among India's ten most valuable textile firms is a notable turnaround.

The companies on this list illustrate a market split between scale players and brand players. Reliance and Grasim dominate through vertical integration and revenue, while Page Industries and KPR Mill command valuations through brand equity and manufacturing efficiency respectively. Shahi Exports posts the highest reported revenue but operates in a different lane as an export-focused manufacturer.
