  • India’s Trade in Threads: A Global Journey of Strength, Color, and Craftsmanship

India has long been known as a land of textiles, with a rich history in spinning, weaving, dyeing, and embroidery. But one unsung hero in this narrative is thread—the very element that binds fabric, brings embroidery to life, and ensures durability in global garments.
Let’s explore India’s growing trade in threads, why it matters, and how exporters like Jisha Overseas are strengthening India’s presence across borders.


A Legacy of Threads and Textiles

India’s connection to threads isn’t just industrial—it’s cultural. From the intricate Zari embroidery of Banaras to the robust sewing threads of Tirupur and Surat, India has developed unique strengths:

  • Embroidery threads (viscose, polyester, metallic)
  • Sewing threads (polyester spun, core-spun)
  • Specialty threads (nylon, jute, cotton, metallic yarn)

These are not just decorative or functional items—they’re integral to fashion, automotive interiors, sportswear, uniforms, and even home furnishings.


Where India’s Threads Go

India exports threads to over 90+ countries, with key importers including:

  • UAE, Saudi Arabia (for ethnic wear production)
  • Bangladesh, Vietnam (for mass garment manufacturing)
  • USA & Europe (for value-added textile production)
  • Africa & Latin America (growing demand in retail garment sector)

As per trade data:

  • India’s thread exports crossed ₹800 crore annually
  • Viscose and polyester embroidery threads have the highest demand
  • Metallic yarn from India is increasingly preferred for luxury and ethnic apparel manufacturing
