The Reliance Group stands as a testament to unwavering determination, single-minded dedication, and an unrelenting commitment to ambitious goals. The Naroda Manufacturing Division, situated near Ahmedabad in Gujarat, marks a significant milestone in the history of Reliance Industries Limited (RIL). It is the company’s inaugural manufacturing facility, and it is a hub of textiles and fabrics manufacturing.
The Naroda Manufacturing Division is responsible for producing and marketing a wide array of woven and knitted fabrics. These fabrics cater to diverse needs, including home textiles, synthetic and worsted suiting, shirting, ready-to-wear garments, and automotive fabrics.
Notably, this complex represents the most substantial investment in the textile industry concentrated at a single location in India. Its status as India’s most modern textile complex is a recognition bestowed by none other than the World Bank. In many parts of the country, this fabric manufacturing complex is closely associated with the iconic brand name ‘Vimal,’ which has a deep-rooted connection with Reliance Industries Ltd.
Over time, the umbrella brand ‘Vimal’ evolved into the iconic ‘Only Vimal.’ It was one of the pioneering textile brands to capture the attention of consumers on a large scale. ‘Only Vimal’ is also celebrated as one of the earliest major retail chains of stores that established a widespread presence across the nation.
Since its inception, the activities at the Naroda complex have experienced substantial growth. The facility manufactures a diverse range of fabrics, including suiting, shirting, and home textiles. What sets the Naroda complex apart is the incredible diversity of product groups it accommodates, each requiring distinct and creative techniques. This unparalleled feature of the Naroda complex makes it a true standout.
The RIL Textile Division has maintained a consistent technological edge, earning its reputation as one of the most modern and state-of-the-art textile plants in the country. It is a vertically integrated plant, encompassing the manufacturing of both synthetic and worsted yarn, weaving, and finishing processes. This vertical integration caters to the evolving and fashion-forward needs of men’s suits, trousers, and shirts.
Furthermore, the division’s focus extends to automotive furnishing, encompassing Jacquard weaving, knitting, and finishing lines. The RIL Division has consistently prioritized the production of high-quality textiles within a safe and environmentally friendly environment.
