The textile industry has witnessed significant growth in the past two decades due to an increase in population, urbanization, and change in consumer behavior. But the textile and garment industry in India is touted to have an even more promising future in the coming years, with growth projections of around 200 percent in the next two years. Based out of Boisar, near Mumbai in Maharashtra, Tusha textiles aims to spearhead the new wave of projected growth in the textile manufacturing industry.
Established in the year 2002, Tusha Textiles (Mumbai) is a prominent manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Synthetic blended fabrics from India. Using new technologies to enhance product quality and service efficiency, the firm is equipped to compete with other fabric-making organizations in both international and domestic markets.
Talking about the current textile market and segment opportunity, Director Tushar Vyas says, “Textiles and garments have got promising future for India due to the China Plus One policy from the Europe and US buyers. Post pandemic, these buyers do not want to put all their sourcing from China and are now looking for other options like Vietnam and India. Vietnam and India are doing better as far as complete solutions are concerned, like fiber to apparel. India is still better positioned due to its vast population and workforce. Secondly, our consumption and hyper localized brand building will make us more organized on a local level which will help us to strengthen our manufacturing base. We are well-positioned to take advantage of the new market dynamics due to our expertise in making textiles and apparel for ages”.
Boasting a young team with an aptitude to perform under pressure, the average age of their team is not more than 40 years which helps Tusha to stay updated, focused, and dedicated. Moreover, under the combined guidance of mentors, Tushar and Shashikant Nangalia, Tusha Textiles has been able to reach a phenomenal height of success. Their valued industry experience and in-depth knowledge have helped the firm garner a large client base all over the world.
The Director of the company, Tushar has sound experience in dealing with clients from the UK and Europe for the last 28 years. Co-Founder and Director, Shashikant takes care of raw material procurement, and has got the experience and expertise of 28 years as well in the industry. This dynamic leadership is one of the driving forces helping Tusha to expand its business consistently and sustainably.
Pioneering Textile Manufacturing In India For The World
Tusha Textiles is one of the leading fabric suppliers of poly blends, and linen blends to the UK, Europe, and the US. Their impressive repertoire of clients includes brands like Walmart UK, Tesco, Next, John Lewis, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Matalan, Lidl, Zara, PVH, and other global apparel brands. Global buyers need total deliverance from their partner suppliers that is good quality, better service, best prices, and shipments on time, and Tusha as a company has got a competitive advantage due to their manufacturing technology setup, export culture, trustworthiness, and work ethics as well as a young mindset.
Talking about the ins and outs of the textile manufacturing industry, Tushar says, “Textile export business purely runs on trust, as buyer sits in the US, UK or Europe and approves our qualities for the orders. Goods are shipped to garment-
based countries in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Cambodia, South Africa, and Vietnam. The total cycle from order placement to goods in stores is approximately 6-7 months which includes fabric making, garment making, and shipping. To deliver the appropriate quality as specified by the buyer to the end customer with the international standards needs an honest approach as inferior quality products will not only impact the name of the brand but also our reputation as textile manufacturers”.
The responsibility of maintaining quality standards throughout the supply chain is of pivotal importance which the team at Tusha understands and achieves through building client trust and ensuring strict quality checking standards. Further, the firm has a calibrated fabric testing lab in which products are checked as per the international guidelines to ensure the best product continuity. Tusha is also equipped with a trained inspection team and a 4-point checking system to ensure quality for each and every meter before it goes out for delivery.
Technological Prowess Leading To Quality In Product & Service
From choosing the raw material till the final dispatch of the end product, the quality controllers of the organization abide by the quality management program at every stage. To produce a high quality range of fabric, Tusha relies on their sophisticated infrastructure and diligent workforce. It boasts of a Fabric Testing Lab equipped with modern checking machines that can test the fabric as per ITS Laboratory.

Situated in Tarapur some 90 kms from Mumbai, Tusha uses state-of-the-art textile weaving technologies to manufacture poly-viscose, poly-wool, and cotton linen fabrics for international clients. The production capacity is around 1.3 million metres in which 900k meters per month is manufactured in-house while the rest is outsourced. Tusha’s factories are fully compliant with SADEX & ISO and have been audited on technical and ethical grounds by buyers from time to time. New and updated technologies aid them to compete with other fabric making countries by having better products and efficiencies.
Tushar mentions, “We have upgraded our weaving capacities time to time, using Sulzer machines with 250 rpm to high speed air-jet machines which run on 1000 rpm. The new machines not only ensure more production & lower turn-out times but also better quality. Our factories also have an in-house fabric inspection capacity of around 60k per day”. Tusha realizes that in today’s day and age quality products & superior service go hand-in-hand, and their credible team is competently equipped to provide both. Frequent R&D and quick developments of new products as per the market demand is their key USP along with a customer-focused talent pool.

To keep up the pace with the growing demand, the first weaving factory was set up in 2007, with a capacity of 400k per month and expanded further on in 2014 with modernized weaving machines to take the capacities to 900k meters per month. During these formative years, buyers gained confidence in Indian textiles industries which further propelled Tusha’s growth journey in the textile export industry. Having their manufacturing base close to Mumbai Seaport gives Tusha an added advantage of reduced delivery times and better connectivity of the shipments.
“It's indeed an achievement for our company to work directly with UK Brands and that too for discipline driven Uniform Products called ‘British Schoolwear Uniform, which require a high level of professionalism and commitment. With a professional approach and quality consistency, we have managed to expand our market in countries like Korea, Japan, and Latin America. Future plans for Tusha Textiles include plans to come up with our own fabric finishing house in a few years to cope with the growing demand for textiles from India”, signs-off Tushar.
