- Business
- Arvind Limited is an Indian integrated textile to retail conglomerate headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, founded in 1931. It manufactures and markets a comprehensive range of textile products including denim fabrics, woven fabrics, cotton shirting, knits, khakis, technical textiles, and garmenting such as jeans and shirts. The company operates state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities with annual capacities exceeding 50 million meters of denim, 200 million meters of woven fabrics, 74 million pieces of garments, and 12,000+ metric tons of knits. Arvind serves a global customer base with a robust fiber-to-fashion value chain, offering advanced materials, environmental solutions, telecom, and omni-channel commerce services alongside its textile operations.
Recently, Arvind undertook a major restructuring by consolidating all business units under the Advanced Materials segment into a single entity, Arvind Advanced Materials Limited, enhancing focus and transparency in this high-growth area. The company formed strategic partnerships including a joint venture with PurFi Global LLC to promote textile circularity by converting textile waste into virgin-quality products, and a collaboration with Gap Inc. to establish the Global Water Innovation Centre for Action (GWICA) aimed at transforming water management practices in apparel manufacturing. In 2024, Arvind partnered with H&M Group to pilot the SUPRAUNO® sustainable dyeing technology, significantly reducing water, energy, and chemical use. The company is also scaling its sustainable practices through increased use of renewable energy, exemplified by commissioning India's first agro-fuel boiler and targeting 90% renewable energy usage.
Arvind operates across segments including textiles, apparels, advanced materials, branded retail, environmental solutions, and telecom, targeting both domestic and international markets as one of the largest and fastest-growing textile manufacturers in India. It leverages innovation to integrate sustainability into its product portfolio and operations, focusing on sectors such as defense, aerospace, green energy, and technical textiles. Its growth strategies include capacity expansion, product portfolio diversification, digital transformation, and a strong emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, maintaining a leadership position in global fabric supply and technical textiles industries. The company’s strategic roadmap aligns with India’s manufacturing growth initiatives and its vision to be a leading integrated textile, apparel, and advanced materials player globally.
