COMPANY PROFILE
ARVIND LIMITED
Arvind limited, the company which
now holds a position globally was
initiated by the three brothers
Kasturbhai, Narottambhai and
Chimanbhai in 1931, when India
began boycotting fine and superfine
fabrics made in Britain. The Lalbhais
reasoned the demand for the need
made of Indian fine and superfine
fabrics and started Arvind limited with
a share of Rs.2,525,000 shares, with
52,560 ring spindles, 2552 doubling spindles and 1122 looms it was one of the few companies in
those days to start along with spinning and weaving facilities in addition to full-fledged facilities for
dyeing, bleaching, finishing and mercerizing.
The company outgrew all its competitors within a few years and today it is one of the largest
companies, with a share of $500 million, it soon ventured into the following markets.

Blow Room:- Here, the bales of cotton fibres are

laid spread out and openend up. They are then fed
into the machine by vaccum suction for cleaning
and transported further by blowing air.
Carding:- The individualization of fibre takes
place, neps are removed and a long and uniform
slive is obtained which is collected in drums.
Pre Draw Frame:- Here 8 carded slivers are fed
into the drawing machine where they are combined
and drawn into a single sliver using some tension.
Comber:-The laps are fed into where they are
combed by rollers with tooth. Finely, smooth,
parallely allinged slivers in which individual fibers
can be pulled out easily are produced.
Post Draw Frame:- 6-12 combed sliver are
further combined, parallelized and the sliver
quality is improved by drawing.

RING FRAME
Speed Frame:- Slivers are made into roving

bobbins by imparting a slight twist and drawing
under tension through roller pairs.
Ring Frame:- Roving is spun into yarn of desired
count by imparting twist, thus reducing the
mass/length of the forming yarn.
Winding:- Yarns from bobbins are transferred
to bigger packages called cone on Simple cone
winder or Machine winder or Autoconer.
TFO:- The two for one twist machine is for twisting th plied yarns and producing bigger cones.
Singeing:- The yarns are made to pass through
flames at fixed temperature and pressure. This
is done to remove lose fibers and short hair that
cause disturbance in the smoothness of yarn.
Rewinding:- The yarns are rewound again after
they are singed, this results in the removal of
black soot from the surface of the yarns.

DYEING:-
Inspection:- Fabric inspection is examination of every yard of fabric as the fabric moves slowly
across a lighted inspection table. Significant flaws are noted and the general condition of the fabric is
determined and recorded.

Dyeing is imparting colour to the fibre or fabric. It can be of two types

1.Yarn Dyeing.
2. Package Dyeing.
1.For Yarn Winding the process is as follows

Sec.Warping
2. Package Dyeing:- In this the yarn is dyed in cheese form. There are cylindrical stands onto
which the packages are arranged and it is immersed in closed system.
Sectional Warping:- The pattern
for a fabric requires yarn of
specific length, number, and
color. These are wound on the
warp beam in this section.
Sizing:-The yarns from warp
beam are passed through size
solution, this makes the yarns
coarse so that they can resist
friction and abrasion during
weaving and other processing.
Drawing:-The free ends from
the beam are pulled vertically
and clamped on the brush beam.
They are combed slightly and
fitted on drawing in machine.
WARP SIZING

Weaving:- Weaving is the

interlacing of warp(vertical) and
weft(horizontal) yarns to make
fabric. Two types of looms are
used for weaving here are1.Air jet.
2. Rapier loom.
INSPECTION
GREY MENDING
Processing:- The batch of fabric is passed

through a number of processes to enhance the
properties of the fabric.
Singeing:- Its the process of passing fabrics
through flame to produce an even surface by
burning off projecting fibres, yarn ends and
fuzz.
De- sizing:- It is completely removing the
size by the application of enzymes. The use of
enzymes ensures complete removal of starch
based sizes and also eliminates the need to use
aggressive chemicals.
Mercerization:-This is a treatment with caustic
soda given to cotton fabric and thread employed
to give cotton a lustrous appearance.
Drying:- The mercerized fabric is passed
through a Vertical Drying Range where drying
takes place.
Bleaching:- Bleaching is a chemical process
used to enhance the whiteness of the fabric. It
works by the process of oxidation.

Blow room:
Here, the bales of cotton fibers sourced from various ginning mills are laid, spread out and
opened up. The blending happens with the help of Blendomat, a machine that moves with
toothed rollers running along then bales thus opening and blending them in layers. These are
then fed into a machine by vacuum suction for cleaning and transported further by blowing air.
They move through chambers where the dust and other impurities embedded in the fibers are
separated out. Clean fiber tufts are sent to the carding section through overhead channels. There
are 3 blowers of TRUTZSCHER BO 046 and 1 blendomat of TRUTZSCHER VDT 019. The
rpm of blower is 72-140. There is facility to do three different mixing fiber types
simultaneously.
Drawing:
Pre draw frame: 8 carded slivers are fed into the drawing machine where they are combined
and drawn into a single sliver using some tension. The sliver is made more uniform in terms of
mass per unit length, parallel and improved. A relative humidity of 51-53% and temperature of
33-35% are maintained on the floor. Breaker sliver is the output.
Unilap: Here 24-26 breaker slivers are combined to form a single lap sheet. A single roll of lap
weighs is 1 kg. Comber lap emerges out of this machine.
Comber: The laps are fed into the system where they are combed by rollers with teeth. Short
fibers are pulled out.Finely smooth, parallely aligned slivers in which individual fibers can be
pulled out easily are produced after combing. 8 laps are combined to form 1 combed sliver.
Post draw frame: 6 combed slivers are further combined, paralellised and the sliver quality is
improved by drawing. The mass/ length is reduced. These are called finished sliver.
Carding:
Individualization of fibers takes place. Neps are removed. A uniform and long sliver is formed
which is collected in drums. They are called carded sliver that is of continuous length and collected in one drum at once. The TRUTZSCHER machines DK 760, KHC 891 and FDK 533 are
employed here. The are 14 machines in one row and 7 in another. The drums were marked with
colored rubber ribbons according to the count of yarn to be spun from that sliver.
Speedframe:
Slivers are made into roving bobbins by imparting a slight twist and drawing under tension
through roller pairs. The bobbins are placed one by one in rows and the armed flyer of the
machine is lowered to the level of a black ring on it. 2 rounds of roving are wound to begin
with, and the guide on the arm carries it all around the bobbin thus winding it parallely. A much
finer thread of fibers are produced.
Page no. - 23
www.arvindmills.com
Ring frame:
This is the process of formation of yarn. Roving is spun into the yarn of desired count by imparting twist. 4 pairs of rollers with and without groves play the drawing action thus reducing
the mass/length and forming yarn. These are wound on smaller spindles.
Assembly winding:
Here, 2 cones are used to double the yarn. There is no twist, but only parallel winding of 2 or
more yarns for ply and wound on cheese.
TFO:
Random winding/ cone winding:
Yarns from the bobbin are transferred to bigger packages called cone on simple cone winder/
mach winder or Autoconer. Bobbins placed in magazine are moved through channels and
detected for loose ends. Those with free end are transported further and attached to the loose
end present in the cone continuing the winding process. Then they are just spliced with each
other thus avoiding knotting to get better efficiency in weaving. The bobbins when empty are
tracked back to be collected by vacuum suction and dropped into a bin.
The two for one twist machine is for twisting the plied yarn and produces bigger cones. To
prevent sloughing off, here, a guide takes the yarn around the package forming a firm setting.
A cone weighs app 1.8 kg. Z/Z twist is given.
Page no. - 25
www.arvindmills.com
Singeing:
The yarns are made to pass through flames at fixed temperature, pressure and maintaining
other specifications. This is done to remove loose fibers and short hairs that cause
disturbance in the smoothness of the yarn. CNG is used as fuel and singed yarn is obtained
as output.2 machines are currently being employed now to solve the working efficiency of
the factory.
Rewinding
The yarns are again rewound after they are singed. This
results in the removal of the black soot from the surface of
the yarns. The yarns are now kept packed under some cover
ready to go for dyeing. The package is called a pallet, which
consists of 315 cones in each. Each cone weighs 1 - 1.5 kg.
The no. Of rewinding machines are 2 under the singeing
shed area and are known by the name main pilot motor.
Spinning
is a process of converting fibers into yarns. Fibers have to undergo certain processes from blow
room to winding room to take the shape of yarn. In blow room the bales of cotton are laid,
spread out and opened up with the help of blendomat and the cotton contamination controller. In
Arvind the Chute feed system works for further process. Then the individualization of fibers take
place called Carding. 21 TRUTZSCHLER carding machines are their. Then slivers are fed into
a drawing machine where they are combined and drawn. 12 draw frames are employed here out
of which 6 for pre-draw frame and 6 for post-draw frame. The laps are fed into the system where
they are combed by rollers with tooth. Slivers are made into roving bobbins by imparting a slight
twist & drawing under tension through roller pairs. There are 34 Lakshmi Ring Frames in which
1008 bobbins can get filled in a single machine. Roving is spun into the yarn of desired count by
imparting twist. Hence the process of formation of yarns completed. Yarns from the bobbin are
transferred to bigger packages called cone by the process called Winding. Soft package winding
is done for dying. Then it goes to yarn singeing and/or to yarn dyeing as per requirements. There
are two types of yarn dyeing frames spring frame and P.P. tube.
Weaving
For Weaving, the mission is to achieve zero weaving defects with continuous improvement in
process control parameters & training of people.
The yarn is transferred from single packages of yarn to an even sheet of yarn representing a
number of sectioned bands of color wound onto a warp beam. Before applying onto the loom
shed Sizing of warp is necessary, it is the application of starch on the warp yarns to overcome
tension levels in warp and to overcome the
effects of abrasion and friction. Four Sucker
Muller (Hacoba) machine is applied for the
sizing. After that denting and drafting is done
and then interlacing of warp and weft yarns
is done to produce the fabric. The shed holds
170 looms which includes 98 Air-jet looms
and 72 Rapier looms. The Omni air-jet and
Gamma rapier looms are of PICANOL. The
speed of Air-jet loom is 720 rpm and 270300 mts fabric are woven per loom per day
whereas the speed of Rapier loom is 520 rpm
and the production is around 200 mts/loom/
day. After the weaving the inspection is required i.e. the examination of every yard of
fabric as the fabric moves slowly across a
lighted inspection table. The significant flaws
are noted and defects get corrected by gray
mending and finish mending. There are 21
grey
inspection tables. Then again the fabric rolls
are made and batching is done by combining
similar kind of rolls in huge batches for
further processes. Here two batching
machines are
working with an average speed of
2000mts/hr.

WEAVING PREPARATORY
RE-WINDINGThe final cones from spinning are used to rewind the yarns on perforated bobbins to form
soft cheeses that will be sent for winding.
According to number of packages required
for sectional warping. The Murata rewinding machines have a capacity of 50 spindles
and they are 10 in total. 2-3 Local Mahavir
machines can hold 120 spindles at once. A
constant length of yarn is wound on all packages.
SECTIONAL WARPINGThe pattern for a fabric requires yarn of

specific length, number and color. These are
wound on the warp beam in this section. A
creel of capacity 720 cones holds the yarns.
These are drawn through a leasing reed
and warping reed and the emerging pattern wound on warping drum and finally on
warping beam. There are 8 rows on the creel,
which holds the yarns according to the warp
pattern. For shirting, the pattern is placed
alternately, i.e. 13572468 upwards. Each row
is used as layer for leasing. 7 lease are introduced in the beginning of every section and a
50% lease towards the end. The 7 lease help
in sizing to separate layers in order prevent
sticking together. 50% leasing helps in drawing.
RE-WINDING
SIZINGA Sucker Muller (hacoba) make machine is

employed for sizing. The yarns from warp
beam are passed through size solution, which
includes modified starch, binders and softeners.
12 rollers dry the sized yarns. All ends on the
warp beam are taped on both sides twice along
the length to prevent slipping. At the rear end,
7 lease rods separate the layers and yarns pass
through a zigzag reed with even dents to ensure
uniformity. They get wound on a beam called
weavers beam. The first 7-8 metres of warp
are cut and removed, as these would not have
received proper sizing.

For double colored patterns, the yarns
directly from beam dyeing are brought and the
combination takes place during the sizing and
drying and the total yarns for warp emerges and
winds on weavers beam.

After sizing they are coded, codes fed
on computer and stored on shelves with pulleys.
As and when required it is possible to give the
code and obtain the beam.
SIZING
LOOM SHED
After warping and drafting the weavers beam
along with the drop wire heald shaft and reed
are loaded on the frame of the loom. The loom
shed has a capacity of 170 looms all together.
SECTIONAL WARPING
LOOM SHED
Page no. - 29
www.arvindmills.com
There are two different types of machines present in the loom shed: 1. Airjet
2. Rapier
There are 98 Airjet looms for weaving

plain fabrics and operates at a speed of
720 rpm. It works on the principle of
cam shedding. The production capacity
of these machines is 270 to 300 meters
of fabric per loom per day.
Maximum of six colors can be used as
weft. Most of these looms can weave
designs using 4 shafts, while some of
the looms have 8 shafts to make slightly
complicated designs.
The rapier looms are 72 in number
and are used for weaving fancy fabrics
through dobby. About 200 meters of
fabric are produced by one loom in a
day. Up to 8 colors can be inserted as
weft. 16 to 20 shafts are used to make
woven designs.
AIR JET LOOM
Processing
For Processing, the mission is To add significant value to yarn and fabric at every processing stage, with continuous improvement in quality & customer service.
Fabric singeing is done to remove the hairiness of the fabric by passing it through flame at a very
high speed then it goes for de-sizing in which the starch is removed that was applied during the
sizing process onto the yarns. One OSTHOF m/c is employed for singeing and de-sizing both.
The target production for one shift is around 35,000 mts. After de-sizing the rotation of the batch
is required for 8 hrs to avoid accumulation of chemicals at one place. Then washing is done which
includes one steaming and two fresh water wash. The Mercerization process comes to give the
fabric- luster and an affinity to dye by Kyoto machine. The speed of production is 25-50 mts/min.
Most of the fabrics require the Bleaching process in which the whiteness of the fabric is increased
by oxidation. A batch of 5000-6000 mts is bleached at any given time. Fabric dyeing is done
only when the fabric has to be dyed in a single flat color. PDPS m/c is used for reactive and vat
dyes; other m/cs are Jigger and Jet-dye machine. BENNINGER m/cs are employed for continuous bleaching, dyeing and mercerization. There are three methods of fabric Printing that is done
here- Table printing, Rotary printing and Digital printing. Separate screen for separate color design
is used. Speed of production in Rotary m/c is 50-80 mts/min. There is one DuPond Artistri 2020
machine of OUPONT is used for digital printing which has a production speed of 11mts/hr. After
printing is done the color fixation is required which is performed by the processes Ageing and Curing for reactive and pigment printing respectively. In ageing the fabric is passed through steam at
150C for 7 minute whereas in Curing the fabric is passed through steam of 102C for 5 minutes
AUTO DRAWING IN MACHINE

(STAUBY DELTA 200)
The sized beam with 50% lease is attached to a weaving assembly truck.
Th free ends are pulled vertically and
clamped on the brush beam. They are
combed slightly and fitted on drawing
in machine. Then the heald frames are
inserted. Drop wires and heald wires
are filled in magazines that will be used
during drawing. Rapier action draws
in yarns by breaking them and pulling
though heald, drop wire and dent, which
forms a straight line. The reed moves
as the denting proceeds to occupy the
position to catch the yarn. All specifications as drafting order, denting order are
stored in computer. Constant monitoring
is required to avoid errors

YARN DYEING
The swatches sent by the customer to be reproduced are considered as standard on which the yarn
color depends. The swatches could be in the form of fabric, yarn or paper cuttings. The count of
yarn required, the light source to be tested under, process following dyeing before matching, any
special remarks, the required quantity are all mentioned in a specification sheet and received from
the design and development department.

Then they refer to their library where almost one lakh shades and their recipes have been recorded. The shade that is closest to the given swatch is chosen and recipe is modified till the perfect
shade is achieved. The recipes of different trial are recorded in the work sheet.
Yarn is dyed in package form in closed system. HTHP machines are used and the capacity varies
from 100 to 700 kg. The weight of the package is 12kgs to 78kgs. The quantity of yarn to be dyed
in a particular shade will be specified by the PPC department.
Usually reactive and vat dyes are used for dyeing. Generally reactive HE dyes are dyed at 80 C
since these are hot brand dyes. The dye bath is ready at 70 C and gradually increased. For vat dyes
it depends on dye-class. The pressure exercised is 3kg/cm3. It takes about 8 1 / 2 hours to complete the entire process that includes pretreatment and dyeing of the yarn.
Cold brand dyes are not used since they have lower fastness and not suitable for mercerization
process. Hence never used in shirting. HEXL and vat dyes are used for mercerization.
AUTOLAB- &@ DISPENSERThere is a stock of primary dye solutions that can be mixed in specific
proportions to get any shade. This
is a computerized process and requires little intervention manually.
To check the uniformity of dyeing, yarn from 4 different layers of a package is wound on a card
and compared. This is referred to as the within package leveling report.
The Recipe includes:
SOLUTION MAKERTo prepare dye solutions of accurate and specific concentration, this is helpful. A beaker is placed
in which some quantity of water is filled. The range of dye that can be added is shown on the
screen. Then it is taken and agitated for homogenous mixing. The beaker is replaced and desired
concentration entered in the system. Water is filled to achieve that concentration.
Yarn is weighed and tagged to be put into the solution for dyeing. Then the yarn or the fabric
swatch is treated with dye for required amount of temperature and time. The machines which are
used are:
1.
turbomat: its capacity is minimum 70gms.
2.
Spectra dye: its capacity is 7. 5gms

Procedure
Bleaching: LS, SPLF, STCP and caustic are taken at room temperature and raised to 50 C. it
is stirred for 5 min in mixing vessel and brought to the dyeing chamber. H2O2 is added at 95
C and stirred for 30 min. it is drained of chemicals.
PIECE DYEING
The swatch obtained from the customer is measured for the color by computer. A close shade is predicted and recipe obtained. This is a computerized color matching system.
Washing: H2O2 and alkali are removed by treatment with hot water at 95 C for 10 minutes.
It is washed in cold water for 2 minutes. The peroxide and alkali are neutralized with acetic
acid and 10L.
Dyeing takes place in stages following procedures according to the type of dye. These are:
1.
Vat pigment- Caladon(pad-dry-cure)
2.
Vat- (pad-dry- pad- steam)
3.
Reactive- (cold- pad- batch-wash)
Dyeing: Fresh hot water is taken in the dyeing chamber, LSER and SPLF (wetting agent)
are added to soften the water. This is stirred for 10 minutes and salt added. Again stirring happens. The color is added finally and boiled at 80 C for 30 minutes. The liquor
is sent back to mixing vessel where soda ash is added for fixation. It is sent to the dyeing chamber and treated at 80 C for 45 minutes. The solution is drained and material is
washed for 10 minutes at 80 C. IN OUT for reactive dyes and IN OUT and OUT
IN for vat dyes.
MATHIS PADDING MANGLE: a continuous process of dyeing, the sample is

inserted into the solution and taken out
between two rollers.
Soaping: ADW is added to wash off extra dyes. This also reduces the dyes thus fixing them
permanently. Th procedure is for 20 minutes at 95C. Washing with fresh water at 80 C for 10
minutes is done. Cold wash is carried out after this followed by rinsing and drying.
Shade matching: Once the yarn is dried it is sent for shade matching in computer.
Drying: If the yarn matches, YL is added for lighter shade and Supra for darker shade are
added for softening and fixing. Then the package goes to RF machine for drying which takes
1- 1.5 hrs.
MATHIS DRIER: the time is set and

fabric inserted. Drying and curing take
place here. A maximum of 250 C can be
achieved.

Finishing
Finishing is the combined process of value addition of the fabric as per the requirements. The
fabric is treated in Stenter where it is made to pass through a solution of finishing chemical with
Polyethylene emulsion and squeezed. After that in Straightening Unit the weft yarns are aligned
parallel with the help of photo-sensered cameras. Sanforising prevents any further stretching or
shrinking of fabrics while being used by consumer. We pass the fabric between rubber beds and
over hot rollers shrinks it to desired width. For Sanforising and Stentering Machines of MONFORTS are employed. Then the fabric goes for specific kind of finishes like Arvi-silk finish,
Soft finish, ETI, Mild resin, Nano care finish, Liquid ammonia, Micro scent, Anti-microbal,
Vitamin-E, U-V protective, Moistcure etc. There are some mechanical finishes which dont
need any chemical or water. Calendar finish, peach finish and Airo finish come in this category.
Calendar finish increases the shinning whereas peach adds toughness to the fabric. Two LAFER
machines are employed for mechanical finish

There are certain quality tests that the yarns have to undergo at each stage to ensure total quality assurance. The testing starts at its infancy i.e. in the fiber stage only there are certain relevant
tests, which a fiber has to undergo before it is sent further.
1.HVI SPECTRUM (High Volume Instrument) ZELLWEGER USTER

This is a prime instrument, which fulfills all the requirements and measures the different parameters for cotton to be used in production.the different criteria, which it detects, are as follows:
1.length of the fiber
2.uniformity in the length
3.strength of the fiber
4.elongation or elastic behavior of the fiber
5.short fiber length (no. of fibers lesser than
)
6.Rd: the color i.e. the degree of yellowness or
whiteness of the fibers.
7.the percentage of coarseness and fineness of
the fiber i.e. the micronaire measurement.
Around 150-200 gms of fibers are taken for
testing.

CLASSIMATThis instrument tests faults in the yarn. 100 km

of yarn can be tested at once. The thick and thin,
long and short areas of the yarn are detected and
categorized according to the severity. In a graph,
A1, B1, C1denotes the length of the fault,
while A1, A2, A3denotes the mass of the yarn
which in turn is a measure of thickness. If the
resultant value falls under E, it is a long and thick
area. F and G of the graph show thin and long
areas.
USTER TENSOJETThis is a single yarn strength-testing instrument.

It runs at a speed of 400 m per min. 500 readings
are taken each out of 10 packages of one sample.
It gives the values in unit of force/ count = g/tex.
Elongation of the yarn is also measured.
USTER UNEVENESS TESTERThis tests and reads thick places (+50%),

thin places (-50%) and neps (200%). At a
speed of 400m/min, yarn from 10 packages
is tested. The Uneveness % and hairiness as
a sum of total hair lengths are obtained
At stages of ring winding, roving, cone
winding etc tests are conducted many times
a week to ensure consistency. This is inprocess checking

COSTING
Costing is decided as per several stages from Picking up the fiber to the finishing of the fabric.
These stages summed up together add-on to the final cost of the fabric.
The end usage of the fabric manufactured by Arvind is garments and the buyer of the fabric
is basically a garment manufacturer. Different apparel manufacturing companies have different types of requirement as per the weight of the fabric (GSM), weave, count, construction
(EPI and PPI), percentage of colour usage, finish of the fabric etc. the entire cost of the fabric
depends on all of the above mentioned parameters. So accordingly after considering all these
factors including the production cost, overheads and the Profit margins, the Price of the fabric
is quoted to the apparel manufacturer.
YARN BOARD WINDERIs done when required. Here, the yarn is wound
on black or white board according to its own
color and analyzed subjectively for slubs.
ELECTRONIC LEA STRENGTH TESTERThe lea is subjected to pulling force by means of clamps and breaking
strength is tested. The value obtained is CSP (count strength product).
HAIRINESS TESTEROn the basis of optical principle, the hairiness is measured as the number of hairs per unit length for 24 mm.

Marketing Capability Factors
Marketing capability factors could be segregated into three basics categories:
Product
Promotion
Price
Product
Unisex leisure/fashion fabric both for international and domestic market
High quality fabric for mens formal shirts and bottom both for international and
domestic market
Fashion fabric for women primarily for domestic women
Readymade garments for men-shirts and jeans
Wide range of textile products and brands
Promotion
Creating awareness : An initial challenge
Creating customer orientation
Focused on encouraging awareness of denim and high premium garments
Goal of developing long term trusting relationship with patients
Price
lower prices in comparison to the competitors due to the availability of low cost
domestic cotton and labour
EMERGING SHIFT OF INTERNATIONALGARMENT BUSINESS
DOMESTIC MARKET ENVIRONMENT

CONSUMER DEMAND
The consumer in the household sector demanded better quality fabric.
TRADE CHANNELS
The trade channel comprised of agents and wholesalers which were very slow to
change and continued to demand conventional products.
These trade channels held a very powerful position in the textile distribution
Retail DivisionMainly for domestic market and management process. It is market sensitive. The department
mainly has to see what the final outcome of the product is:
always in touch with internal+ external customers
need to know when to produce what
fashion cycle+ high international margin/ international customers behave in a
different way
In export Arvind basically sells through buying offices like impulse, li and fung etc or directly and even through RMGs (Ready Made Garments) like Ranger and brfl (Bombay rayon
fashions limited) etc.
In domestic brands Arvind targets the customer directly like Louis Philippe, Colorplus, and
Indian terrain etc.
In retail market too Arvind has direct links with middleman or agents or direct fabric selling retailers. RMGs are ready made garment converters for export brands. They always
buy fabric and then make shirts, trousers, jackets etc. and sell it to export brands. In Arvind
like Ranger is supplying to GANT, SCOTCH AND SODA and REPALY. The same thing is
done in Arvind export division Bangalore. They take fabrics from Arvind Ahmedabad and
then convert it into ready to wear garments for many brands like GAP, BROOKS, ESPRIT,
MEXX, LUCKY JEANS etc.
Reason
Low cost of domestically produced cotton.
Low cost of labor
Weak currency
