Cotton construction
Greige Cotton Fabric — Mill & Exporter
Loom-state cotton by the roll, from 100 m, in ~2 days.
Unprocessed loom-state cotton — grey, kora, loomstate — the base cloth converters and processors buy to finish and resell into their own trade. Any of our constructions in greige, from a 100-metre minimum, with production in about two days. Take it as-is or move it to RFD.
Characteristics of our greige cotton fabric
- Cloth exactly as it comes off the loom — no scour, bleach, dye or finish.
- Carries sizing and natural cotton wax, so it is stiffer and reads off-white or cream.
- Width and weight are close to final but move a little through wet processing (typically 3–8% in width).
- The cheapest, fastest starting point: about 2 days' production, 100 m minimum, no per-colour minimum.

Ordering greige cotton fabric from the mill
Every length is made to your specification — there is no stock list. Send a target construction (yarn counts, ends and picks, weave), a weight in g/m² or oz, a finished width, and the finish state you need: greige, RFD, piece-dyed against a lab dip, or printed. If you only have an end use or a physical sample, we identify the closest article and confirm it on a swatch before bulk.
The minimum is 100 m for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1000 m per colour once processing is involved. Greige runs in about 2 days; dyed or printed takes about 2 weeks including approvals. We ship FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva or CIF destination port from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, on a staged payment structure where only 10% is committed before production.

Greige Cotton Fabric for a specific use
Common questions
What's your minimum order?
100 m for greige, 1,000 m per colour for processed fabric. No full-container minimum.
How wide can you weave?
45 to 135 inches (about 343 cm), so wide cloth doesn't need a seam.
How heavy can you go?
Up to 800 GSM (about 24 oz).
How fast is delivery?
Greige in about 2 days, processed in about 2 weeks. That's production time; sea transit is on top. Market norm is 30 to 45 days.
Are you GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified?
Both applied for and in progress as of September 2026, not granted yet. Many buyers sample in parallel while certs complete. Organic cotton is available now.
You're a new mill. Why should I risk an order?
The plant is new; the family behind it has 50 years in textile manufacturing, and this is the third generation. We start with a swatch pack, then a small paid trial. Payment is staged 10/15/50/25, so only 10% is at risk before production. Specs are transparent; certs are dated.
What are your payment terms?
10% on order, 15% at production start, 50% on passing QC, 25% on dispatch. Move to LC once we've traded.
Can you do RFD so we dye locally?
Yes. RFD by the roll is a core line. MOQ 100 m as greige, or take it RFD.
Do you ship to the UK, US, EU or Australia?
Yes. FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or CIF to your port. UK buyers: the India–UK deal removes UK import duty on Indian cotton fabric.
Can I get a sample?
Yes. A swatch pack plus price list to start, then trial yardage.
