The Naroda Manufacturing Division located near Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is RIL’s first manufacturing facility. This textiles and fabrics manufacturing facility manufactures and markets woven and knitted fabrics for home textiles, synthetic and worsted suiting and shirting, ready to wear garments and automotive fabrics.
The complex represents the largest investment in the textile industry at a single location. The Naroda complex is India’s most modern textile complex – a recognition bestowed by the World Bank.
In certain parts of the country, the fabric manufacturing complex, with the brand name Vimal, continues to be synonymous with Reliance Industries Ltd.
The umbrella brand Vimal later on became the iconic brand, Only Vimal and was one of the first textile brands to reach consumer eyes and ears in a huge way. Only Vimal is also regarded as the one of the first major retail chain of stores to be set up across the country.
The activities at Naroda complex, since its inception, have also witnessed substantial growth. Fabrics of various types – suiting, shirting, home textiles – are manufactured here. The most distinctive feature of Naroda complex is the varied product groups manufactured requiring different creative techniques are all housed under one complex. This feature of Naroda is without a parallel .
