Why Ludhiana is India's knitwear capital

From yarn supply to skilled labour and machinery, Ludhiana offers a uniquely complete ecosystem for knitwear production. Here's what that means for brands.

Ludhiana, in Punjab, is widely regarded as India's knitwear manufacturing capital. For brands sourcing sweaters and flat-knit garments, the city offers a rare combination of advantages in one place.

A complete ecosystem

• Deep yarn supply — easy access to a wide range of fibres, blends and counts.
• Skilled workforce — generations of expertise in knitting, linking and finishing.
• Machinery and service — concentrated access to modern knitting technology and support.
• Allied processes — dyeing, embellishment, trims and packing all close at hand.

What it means for your brand

A complete local ecosystem means shorter development cycles, more competitive pricing and the flexibility to iterate quickly on samples. Working with an experienced Ludhiana manufacturer like Ace Knitwear gives you access to all of this through a single accountable partner.
