Textile and Garment Manufacturing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The textile industry stands as one of the leading industries of Punjab, having a huge contribution to the GDP of the state. Ludhiana is called the &#8220;Manchester of India&#8221; since it dominates the woolen and knitted garments and hosiery production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"major-products\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Products\"><\/span><strong>Major Products:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Woolen garment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knitwear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hosiery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sportswear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sector forms a foundation stone for Punjab industrial growth: it generates jobs for thousands of people and earns a lot of revenue.
