Bhiwandi’s textile industry faces an indefinite shutdown starting November 8, 2026, as all sizing units are set to close indefinitely due to mounting production costs and deteriorating market conditions. This decision was unanimously made by industry operators during a special meeting of the Bhiwandi Sizing Welfare Association on November 6, 2026.
The crisis stems from a sharp slowdown in the textile market, a sharp increase in raw material prices, a shortage of skilled labor, and higher wages. These factors have dramatically increased production costs, making it unsustainable for the units to continue operations. The Bhiwandi Sizing Welfare Association, led by president Ajay Kumar Yadav, acknowledged these challenges and decided to suspend all sizing activities from November 8 until further notice.
The association plans to reconvene a week later to evaluate the situation and explore potential solutions, including a possible revision of sizing rates. Once operations resume, the industry will adhere to government guidelines, such as using only specified fuels like coal and biofuel.
