Ludhiana Textile and Garment Industry Faces Pressure Over Rising Costs and Power Supply Disruptions

Ludhiana, September 14, 2026: Ludhiana’s garment and textile industry is facing growing pressure as manufacturers deal with higher yarn and dyeing costs along with disruptions in electricity supply.

Industry representatives say the combination of rising input expenses and interruptions in production is creating difficulties for units that are already operating under tight margins. The situation is particularly significant for Ludhiana, where the textile and garment sector supports a large network of manufacturers, suppliers and workers.

The dyeing industry has also announced a week-long shutdown from September 14 to 20, amid concerns over increasing operating costs and unreliable power supply. The move is expected to have a wider impact on manufacturers dependent on dyeing and processing units for their production schedules.

Manufacturers are now watching the situation closely, as any prolonged disruption could affect production timelines and increase costs further. Industry stakeholders are seeking measures to ensure a more reliable power supply and provide relief from rising production expenses.

With Ludhiana being one of Punjab’s major textile and garment manufacturing centres, developments in the sector could have a direct impact on businesses across the city’s textile and garment supply chain.
