RFD Cotton Fabric — Ready for Dyeing, Mill & Exporter

Scoured, bleached, ready for your dye house or print line.

Ready-for-dyeing cotton in clean optical white, scoured and smooth

Cotton scoured and bleached to a clean, absorbent base — ready for reactive or pigment dyeing and for rotary or digital print. Buyers who dye locally take RFD by the roll and control shade in their own market. Any construction, up to 135 inches wide.

Characteristics of our rfd cotton fabric

Greige that has been scoured and fully bleached — clean, absorbent and dimensionally settled.
Prepared without optical brightener or softener, so it will not shift a dyed shade or resist dye.
Behaves predictably in the dye house and on the print line; the base print bureaux and local dyers buy.
Supplied by the roll from 100 m greige equivalent, with no per-colour minimum from us.

Ordering rfd 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.

RFD 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.
