Despite the downfall in apparel sector as indicated by the apparel export data, many textile companies are planning to expand their capacities. Prominent among these include fabric producers, apparel manufacturers, trims, ink and chemical suppliers etc. While some of the others are either diversifying into the overseas markets, or entering from export to domestic or vice versa, adding new buyers in their existing markets.

Some of these companies include Chiripal Group and Splenora Textures, which are setting up denim fabric manufacturing facilities. Similarly, in Bengaluru, leading kidswear manufacturers such as First Steps Babywear and liaison offices such as Stars Design are expanding their facilities. In Ludhiana, garment manufacturers like Million Exports, KG Exports, Bawa Knit Fab have announced investment plans. In Delhi-NCR, Noida Apparel Export Cluster is setting up an apparel park which will increase and ease garment manufacturing and exports in Noida.
