Sangam India Boosts Green Commitments: Focuses On Organic Cotton, Recycled Fibers & Solar Energy To Build A Cleaner Textile Future

Sangam India Ltd, based in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, is one of India’s leading producers of PV dyed yarn, cotton and OE yarn, as well as ready-to-stitch fabrics. The company, which is listed on both BSE and NSE, has announced its plans to become one of the most sustainable players in the Indian textile sector. With a clear roadmap focused on environmental responsibility, Sangam India aims to reduce its ecological footprint by implementing initiatives across the entire textile manufacturing process. This includes using organic and recycled raw materials, as well as reducing the consumption of water, energy, and chemicals, which have long been challenges for the sector.

To support these efforts, Sangam India has already installed two solar power plants of 5 MW each. These plants help reduce the company’s carbon footprint by an estimated 20 percent annually. In addition, the company operates three Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and four Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs), which help treat industrial and sewage water, allowing it to be reclaimed and reused effectively. Looking ahead, Sangam India plans to increase the use of recycled fibers, which will reduce reliance on plastic waste as a raw material. The company also intends to focus on organic cotton to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional manufacturing processes and to support sustainable farming practices.

To further strengthen its sustainability efforts, Sangam India has partnered with SGS, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification, to provide Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) solutions. SGS will act as an independent consultant, guiding the company in achieving its sustainability goals and redefining its ESG journey. These initiatives are being led by the next generation of Sangam India Limited, Mr. Pranal Modani, who serves as the Chief Business Strategist.

Since joining the company in 2014, he has driven several sustainability initiatives aimed at transforming Sangam India into an eco-friendly brand. Speaking on the company’s commitment, Mr. Modani said that while India is among the largest textile producers and exporters in the world, the industry’s environmental impact cannot be overlooked. He emphasized that Sangam India is taking deliberate steps to become a responsible brand, optimizing resource consumption while developing cleantech solutions that conserve resources.

Mr. Modani also highlighted that the installation of solar plants, ETPs, and STPs has already helped conserve crucial resources such as water and energy. He added that the use of organic cotton and fibers will reduce soil erosion and improve overall soil quality over time. Sangam India produces 30 million meters of PV fabric and 48 million meters of denim fabric annually.

The company has over 2.8 lakh spindles and 3,000 rotors. In addition, the group has set up a garment manufacturing facility with 54 seamless knitting machines capable of producing five million pieces per year. As a GRS-certified company, Sangam India has been strategically focusing on becoming an environmentally responsible conglomerate, promoting sustainability across the Indian textile industry.
