How Much Does Wholesale Fabric Cost per Metre in India? (2026 Price Guide)

Quick answer: In 2026, wholesale fabric in India typically costs ₹60–₹150 per metre for polyester and crepe, ₹80–₹200 for cotton and poly-cotton shirting, ₹140–₹320 for denim and ₹120–₹260 for rayon and viscose.

What makes fabric more or less expensive?

  1. Fibre: polyester is cheapest; cotton, linen and blends with viscose cost more.
  2. GSM: heavier fabric uses more yarn, so price rises with weight.
  3. Width: 58–60 inch fabric costs more per metre than 44 inch but cuts more garments.
  4. Dyeing and printing: yarn-dyed and digital-printed fabric cost more than piece-dyed solids.
  5. Quantity: full rolls and 1,000 m+ orders get 5–15% lower rates.
  6. Finish: stretch (lycra), peach, anti-wrinkle or water-repellent finishes add cost.
  7. GST: most fabric attracts 5% GST, charged on top of the quoted rate.

How to compare fabric quotes fairly

Compare price per usable metre, not per metre. Ask each supplier for fibre, GSM, width, shrinkage, colour fastness, MOQ, delivery time and whether GST and transport are included. A slightly dearer fabric with lower shrinkage and fewer faults often costs less per finished garment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest fabric for bulk garments?

Polyester and poly-crepe, often ₹60–₹90 per metre in bulk.

Is GST included in wholesale fabric prices?

Usually not. Most fabric carries 5% GST added to the bill.

Do fabric prices change often?

Yes. Cotton and polyester prices follow yarn and crude-oil prices and can change month to month, so lock rates for large orders.

Meet the Founder: Suhail Ahmed and the Story of EVOMODA

By Suhail Ahmed, founder of EVOMODA · Shastri Nagar, Delhi Hi, I'm Suhail Ahmed. I run EVOMODA with my family from Shastri Nagar in Delhi. This is the first post on our blog, so I want to tell you plainly who we are, how we got here, and what you can expect to read here. Who is EVOMODA? EVOMODA is a Delhi-based textile business. We manufacture and supply fabric in bulk, mainly denim, 100% polyester and polyester crepe, gingham checks and yarn-dyed stripes, and we do private-label garment manufacturing for brands. We also sell our own apparel online. Our fabric catalogue and wholesale details live on our main website, evomoda.website . How a fabric business ended up building software Running a textile business teaches you where money quietly disappears. A buyer messages on WhatsApp and the reply goes out two days late. An Instagram enquiry sits unanswered. Rolls of one colour stay in the godown for months while another colour sells out. None of it shows up as a loss on any one ...

My Journey: From a Family Fabric Business to Building BizOS

By Suhail Ahmed · Shastri Nagar, Delhi People often ask me how a fabric business from Shastri Nagar ended up building software. The honest answer is that one led to the other. This is my journey so far, the parts that went well and the parts I am still figuring out. Where it started: a family business I didn't start alone. EVOMODA is a family business, and I work alongside Dilshad Ahmed and Shameem Ahmed. Growing up around fabric meant learning early that this trade runs on trust, quick replies and getting the details right: the GSM, the shade, the width, the delivery date. A small mistake in any of them can cost a whole order. Building EVOMODA Over the last few years we built EVOMODA into what it is today. We manufacture and supply fabric in bulk, mainly denim, polyester and polyester crepe, gingham checks and yarn-dyed stripes, and we make garments for brands under their own labels. Every order is checked for GSM, shrinkage and colour before it leaves us, because a buyer sho...

WhatsApp for Textile Businesses: 7 Habits to Stop Losing Enquiries

For most textile and garment businesses in India, WhatsApp is the real order book. Buyers send photos of fabric, ask for rates, negotiate and confirm, all in chat. That is convenient, but it also means enquiries get buried, rates are quoted inconsistently and nobody remembers who promised what. Here are the habits that helped us handle more enquiries without hiring more people. 1. Use the WhatsApp Business app, not personal WhatsApp The free WhatsApp Business app adds a business profile with address and hours, a product catalogue, quick replies, labels and an away message. It costs nothing and immediately looks more professional to buyers. 2. Label every chat by stage Create labels such as New enquiry , Rate sent , Sample sent , Order confirmed , Payment pending and Dispatched . Once a day, open the Rate sent label and follow up. Most lost orders are simply buyers who never got a second message. 3. Save quick replies for repeat questions Buyers ask the same things again and ag...
