Top 14 Textile Machinery Manufacturers in India: Spinning, Weaving, Processing and Testing Machines
Fourteen Indian manufacturers that design and build textile machinery in India — from LMW's complete spinning lines in Coimbatore and Prashant's…
In this guide
At a glance
India runs one of the world's largest textile industries yet still imports much of its high-end machinery, so the home-grown makers matter. This list covers only companies headquartered and manufacturing in India; the Indian subsidiaries of foreign groups (such as Rieter India, Savio India and Trützschler India) are deliberately excluded, however good their machines, because buyers looking for Indian manufacturers are asking a different question. Where a company's own website blocked logo downloads or publishes no clean logo file, the entry is text-only and says so — no logo has been copied from any third-party source.

The brands in detail
Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW)
Lakshmi Machine Works, founded in 1962 and based at Perianaickenpalayam, Coimbatore, is India's flagship textile machinery maker. Its textile machinery division builds the complete spinning line — blowroom, carding, draw frames, combers, speed frames, ring frames and compact spinning systems — and the company says on its own website that it is one of only three manufacturers in the world offering the entire spinning range. LMW machines anchor spinning mills across India and in export markets, and the wider group also runs machine-tool and foundry businesses. For a new spinning project or a modernisation package, LMW is usually the first Indian name on the list.
Buyers should confirm delivery schedules and service coverage for their region, and compare total cost of ownership — spares, service contracts and energy consumption — against imported alternatives.

Lakshmi Card Clothing (LCC)
Lakshmi Card Clothing, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Coimbatore, makes card clothing — the precision wire-covered surfaces that carding machines use to open and clean fibres — along with related spinning accessories and card room equipment. The company states on its own website that it is a leader in the card clothing industry, is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and serves markets across India and globally. Card clothing is a consumable at the heart of yarn quality, so LCC's products are bought repeatedly by spinning mills rather than once with a machine.
Mills shortlisting card clothing should match the wire specification to their fibre and production speeds, check recommended clothing and reclothing intervals, and confirm service support for mounting and maintenance in their region.
Featured model: Founded 1960 · Coimbatore
Prashant Group
The Prashant Group of Ahmedabad, whose branding dates it to 1975, is India's best-known maker of weaving preparatory machinery. Through companies including Prashant Gamatex, Prashant West Point and Prashant Ferber, the group builds direct and sectional warping machines, single-end and multi-end sizing machines, warping creels, denim preparation lines and material-handling equipment for weaving mills. Trade listings describe it as the country's largest engineering group in weaving preparatory machinery, and its machines serve weaving clusters across India and export markets. For a weaving unit setting up or upgrading its preparation department, Prashant is the standard Indian benchmark.
Buyers should size the creel and beam dimensions to their loom fleet, confirm automation and drive options, and check references from mills weaving comparable fabric qualities.
Featured model: Since 1975 · Ahmedabad
Rabatex
Rabatex, based at Kathwada GIDC in Ahmedabad, has been building textile engineering equipment since 1962, as stated on its own website. Its range covers weaving preparation — sectional warping machines, sample warping machines, single-end sizing and beam rewinding — together with a large business in material handling and storage equipment such as trolleys, beam storage systems and battery-operated handling machines used across textile mills. That combination makes Rabatex a practical supplier when a mill is reorganising its preparatory department and internal logistics rather than buying a single machine.
Its official logo is published only in a white-on-dark form, so it is reproduced here on a navy tile, unaltered, to stay legible. Buyers should verify machine widths against their beam sizes and ask for references from mills running similar fabrics.
Featured model: Since 1962 · Kathwada GIDC, Ahmedabad
Rimtex
Rimtex is a Gujarat-based manufacturer best known for sliver cans — the spinning cans that carry sliver between carding, drawing and spinning — with its own website headlining 'Handling Sliver Since 1992'. Beyond cans, the group makes material-handling equipment, castor wheels and storage and transport solutions for spinning mills, and says its cans run at leading spinning mills in India and overseas. Sliver cans look like a commodity, but their dimensions, castors and surface quality directly affect sliver handling and yarn faults, so mills treat Rimtex as a specialist rather than a general fabricator.
Buyers should match can sizes to their card and draw-frame fleet, confirm castor specifications for their floor conditions, and check export packing standards for overseas orders.
Featured model: Since 1992 · Gujarat
Premier Evolvics
Premier Evolvics of Coimbatore manufactures laboratory testing and online monitoring instruments for cotton, yarn and fabric — including high-volume cotton testers (its HFT range), evenness testers (the iQ series), strength and length testers, and the aQura fibre testing line listed on its own website. It is the Indian answer to imported testing equipment: spinning mills use its instruments to grade raw cotton, control yarn evenness and certify quality for buyers. For mills building or upgrading a testing laboratory, Premier is the natural domestic shortlist name.
Buyers should compare test parameters and calibration standards against the international instruments their customers specify, confirm software and data-export compatibility with their quality systems, and check service and calibration support in their region.
Featured model: Coimbatore · Textile testing instruments
Yamuna Machine Works
Yamuna Machine Works, whose branding dates the business to 1990, designs and manufactures wet-processing machinery for fabric — hot air stenters, hydraulic jiggers, continuous bleaching ranges, singeing machines and drum dryers — from factories at Vapi in Gujarat, with its registered office at Kandivali in Mumbai. Company records describe its registered activity as the manufacture of textile machinery, parts and accessories, and its own website details the processing range, including energy-saving hydraulic drive systems for its jiggers. Process houses shortlisting dyeing and finishing equipment use Yamuna as a domestic alternative to European processing lines.
Buyers should verify working widths and chamber configurations against their fabric range, ask for energy-consumption figures per kilogram of fabric, and visit a reference installation processing similar materials.
Featured model: Since 1990 · Kandivali, Mumbai — works at Vapi, Gujarat
Sieger Spintech Equipments
Sieger Spintech Equipments, incorporated in 1994 and based at Arasur, Coimbatore, builds yarn conditioning plants and textile automation systems. Its best-known product is the YCP range of yarn conditioning machines, which set moisture and twist in spun yarn; the company also makes roving transport systems, automatic cone packing lines and material-handling automation for spinning and weaving mills, and says it brings over three decades of textile automation experience. A.T.E. Enterprises markets Sieger's products in India under an exclusive partnership reported by the trade press. Mills automating cone handling or upgrading yarn conditioning shortlist Sieger as the Indian specialist.
Buyers should size conditioning capacity to daily production, verify compatibility with their winder makes, and confirm installation and service arrangements through Sieger or its sales partner.
Featured model: Incorporated 1994 · Arasur, Coimbatore
Alidhra Weavetech
Alidhra Weavetech, marketed through Weavetech Engineers and based at Udhna in Surat, is one of India's largest makers of twisting and weaving machinery for filament yarns. Its range includes two-for-one (TFO) twisters, assembly winders, draw texturising machines and the ACE series of rapier looms. The group's own catalogue describes it as India's largest manufacturer of TFO twisters and rapier looms and the first Indian manufacturer of water-jet and air-jet looms — claims buyers should weigh against current market data. The Alidhra group's roots in Surat's art-silk industry go back to the 1970s. For filament weaving and twisting capacity, it is the dominant domestic name.
Buyers should confirm the loom model against their fabric construction, check spare-parts and service coverage, and visit running installations in Surat's weaving clusters.

SMEW Textile Machinery
SMEW Textile Machinery of Ahmedabad was founded in 1958 by Vinod Nagarsheth, as the company recounts on its own website, and manufactures winding machinery for yarn — soft package winders, rewinding and assembly winding machines — increasingly built around its own BLDC direct-drive motor technology, which it says cuts power consumption and maintenance by eliminating belts and pulleys. With over six decades in winding, SMEW is a long-standing Indian name for the winding department that sits between spinning and weaving or knitting. Mills upgrading winding capacity shortlist SMEW against imported winders on energy and lifecycle cost.
Buyers should compare winding speeds and package formats with their downstream processes, verify drive and motor specifications, and ask for independent quality reports — the company publishes customer validation reports on its website.
Featured model: Founded 1958 · Ahmedabad
Amritlakshmi Machine Works
Amritlakshmi Machine Works, based at GIDC Umbergaon in Gujarat, specialises in high-speed sizing machines for filament yarns. Its own website says it introduced its filament high-speed sizing machine in Surat in 1985 and now offers sizers running at up to 450 metres per minute depending on yarn and chemicals, alongside dedicated high-speed viscose sizing machines. Sizing is the critical preparation step that lets fine filament warp yarns survive the loom, and Amritlakshmi has built its name on this single process; filament weavers in the Surat belt are its core market.
Buyers should match the working width and speed specification to their denier range, confirm size-box and drying configurations, and take references from weavers sizing comparable yarns before ordering.
Featured model: Umbergaon, Gujarat · Filament sizing specialist
Jupiter Comtex
Jupiter Comtex of Ahmedabad manufactures sizing machines and indigo dyeing ranges — the rope and slasher dyeing lines that give denim its colour — together with warping and other weaving preparatory equipment. Writing on its own website, the company presents itself as a sector leader of five decades' standing, and its sizing and denim lines are aimed squarely at India's denim and shirting clusters. For denim mills, an Indian-built indigo range is a significant capital saving over European lines. This entry carries no logo because the company's website sits behind a bot-check that blocked logo downloads from the research network; none was taken from a third-party source.
Buyers should verify the range configuration for their production volumes and visit a running denim installation before committing.
Featured model: Ahmedabad · Sizing and indigo dyeing ranges
Veejay Lakshmi Engineering Works
Veejay Lakshmi Engineering Works of Coimbatore describes itself on its own website as the pioneer of the two-for-one (TFO) twister in India, and says it has sold more than 7,000 machines in India and export markets. Alongside TFO twisters it manufactures precision assembly winders for spun and filament yarns. The company is a listed, long-established member of Coimbatore's textile machinery cluster, supplying the twisting stage that gives yarns strength and uniformity for weaving and sewing applications. This entry carries no logo because the company's older website publishes no clean, separate logo file; none was taken from a third-party source.
Buyers should confirm spindle configurations and take-up packages for their yarn counts, and check spares availability for older installed machines.
Featured model: Coimbatore · TFO twister pioneer
A.T.E. Enterprises
A.T.E. Enterprises, founded in 1939 and headquartered in Mumbai, is India's best-known textile engineering house: it sells, installs and services complete machinery solutions for spinning, weaving, processing, printing and garmenting, representing leading global machinery brands in India, while its group also manufactures — for example TeraSpin spinning components — and provides plant engineering and automation. Trade coverage describes A.T.E. as an Indian manufacturer of textile machines, and it exclusively markets Sieger Spintech's products in India. Mills planning a whole department rather than a single machine often start with A.T.E. for its application engineering and after-sales network.
This entry carries no logo because the company's website was unreachable from the research network during preparation; none was taken from a third-party source. Buyers should confirm which group entity contracts and what service coverage applies at their site.

How to choose
Start with the real decision: who will use this, where, how often, and what would make the choice unsafe or disappointing? The following checks keep the shortlist practical.
- Confirm the manufacturer designs and builds in India — and which components, if any, are imported
- Match the machine specification to your fibre, yarn count or fabric construction, not just the headline speed
- Visit a running installation in a comparable mill before committing capital
- Check spares availability, service network coverage and response times for your region
- Compare total cost of ownership — energy per unit of output, consumables and maintenance — against imported alternatives
What to verify before you commit
Confirm the current specification, price or availability, terms, and seller or provider identity. For companies and services, request a written scope, named contact, references, and cancellation or warranty terms. For products, compare the unit price, compatibility, return window, and genuine support.
