India’s textile industry combines centuries-old craftsmanship with modern manufacturing. As the world’s 6th largest exporter of textiles and apparel, India has a thriving home-furnishing sector that includes curtains, blinds, bed-linen and more. In 2023–24 textiles and handicrafts (including home textiles) made up over 8% of India’s exports. Buoyed by rising disposable incomes and urbanization, industry analysts project robust growth. For example, India’s home textile market is forecast to reach US$6.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of about 5%. New trends such as demand for organic/GOTS-certified fabrics and artisan made designs are fueling expansion. At the same time, leading companies (from mass producers to niche studios) are innovating with technology, AI-driven design, and sustainability to attract architects, hotels and large-volume buyers. This guide surveys India’s top B2B curtain manufacturers and artisan textile suppliers, comparing competitors and highlighting key market insights, including examples like Eyda Homes.

Market Overview and Trends

The Indian home furnishings market has expanded rapidly in recent years. After pandemic disruptions, textile exports have rebounded. In Apr–Oct 2024 home textiles exports grew about 6% year-on-year. Domestic consumption is also rising, driven by infrastructure projects, hotel chains and a growing middle class. Industry reports show the home textile segment (curtains, cushions, linens) experiencing high growth. IMARC Group notes the market was worth about $4.30 billion in 2024 and projects it to reach $6.60 billion by 2033. Premiumization is a theme, luxury collections and bespoke, high-thread-count fabrics are gaining share. At the same time, sustainability and craftsmanship are rising in importance. Buyers increasingly seek eco-friendly materials (organic cotton, bamboo, hemp) and handcrafted products that benefit rural weavers. For instance, recent launches by Indian brands include GOTS certified curtains and handloom collections. Overall, India’s textile & apparel trade surplus and strong export base mean global demand (especially in USA/EU) continues to shape production.

Key market facts: India accounts for about 3.9% of global textile trade. The fabrics industry employs some 45 million people, with nearly half of India’s cotton output now procured by government programs to stabilize supply. The Home Textiles sector (bed, bath, décor) contributes over $10 billion annually and is forecast to grow at a solid rate. At the same time, textile clusters (Panipat, Varanasi, Karur, etc.) and special trade zones benefit from supportive policies (SITP, MITRA parks, “Make in India” initiatives).

Trends to watch: Demand for smart textiles (fire-retardant, antimicrobial fabrics), digital printing and automation is rising among commercial clients (hotels, offices). Major suppliers are integrating AI for design and virtual-visualization tools, as exemplified by D’Decor’s strategy. Meanwhile, the luxury/resort segment drives use of premium materials (linen, silk blends, jacquard), and sustainability initiatives encourage organic and recycled yarns. Online B2B marketplaces (e.g., Textile Infomedia, IndiaMART) and international fairs also make sourcing easier for global buyers.

Leading Curtain Manufacturers (B2B Suppliers)

India has dozens of companies specializing in curtain and drapery fabrics and finished curtains for the hospitality and corporate market. These range from large integrated mills to specialized B2B brands. Below are some notable suppliers:

  • D’Decor Home Fabrics (Noida, UP): India’s largest home-fabrics company, D’Decor (formerly known as Carlisle) produces thousands of designs for curtains, upholstery and blinds. Its well-known FabriCare line targets hotels and offices with high-performance, stain-resistant drapery fabrics. D’Decor reports the highest home-textile sales in India, leveraging franchise stores and digital tools to reach architects. It explicitly works with architects and interior designers as “critical pillars” of growth, offering bespoke support and performance fabrics for hospitality needs.
  • Zynna (Gurgaon, Haryana): Zynna is a rapidly-growing curtain brand with an online catalog of over 30,000 fabric choices. It caters to both residential and commercial clients, supplying plain and designer curtains, blackout drapes and roller blinds. Zynna has expanded to showrooms in Gurgaon, Kolkata, Imphal and Bengaluru, emphasizing custom-sized orders and hotel projects. It positions itself as an all-in-one solution (Curtains, Blinds, Sheers) for Indian businesses.
  • NuHome Window Coverings (Mumbai, MH): A Mumbai-based manufacturer founded in 1995, NuHome offers custom curtains, roller blinds and fabrics primarily for the contract (B2B) market. The company focuses on innovative, durable curtain systems for offices, hotels and retail outlets. With its own fabrication plant, NuHome promises quality control on larger orders; it is known to serve corporate chains and export markets alike.
  • Kobid Enterprises (Jaipur, Rajasthan): A long-established industrial drapery producer, Kobid invests heavily in modern machinery for window-shade manufacturing. Its product range includes curtain fabrics, finished drapes, curtain tracks and sheers. Kobid has a pan-India presence, offices in Delhi, Panipat, Surat, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and more, enabling it to handle large B2B contracts. It supplies to commercial developers and institutions, highlighting turnkey project capability (supply, installation, after-sales service).
  • Panipat & Jaipur Clusters: Beyond specific brands, India’s organized industry benefits from major textile hubs. For example, Panipat (Haryana) is often called the “Manchester of India” for home textiles; it houses hundreds of manufacturers of drapery and blackout fabrics. Jaipur (Rajasthan) similarly has many companies making curtain prints, tie-backs and hardware. In fact, India’s handloom export report notes Panipat, Varanasi, Karur and Kannur as top centers where curtains and other home linens are produced for export markets. Buyers sourcing curtains in bulk can often find multiple factories in these industrial clusters. Other notable names include Shyam Furnishings (Surat) and Asham Furnishings (Panipat), which are known in the B2B space for decorative drapes and hotel linens. D&D Fabrics, Classic Furnishing, and Surya Exim are examples of smaller-scale suppliers handling bulk orders (many listed on B2B portals like ExportersIndia). For directory listings of suppliers by city and region, see trade sites such as Textile Infomedia or industry associations.

Each of the above companies typically offers contract pricing and customization. They can produce large volumes to hotel specifications (e.g., flame-retardant curtains for chains) and often hold ISO/QC certifications. Unlike retail brands, these B2B manufacturers focus on meeting technical specs such as durability, fire-safety and uniformity across thousands of meters. Many operate made-to-measure facilities. When vetting curtain manufacturers, procurement leads should ask about minimum order quantities, lead time, in-house testing (e.g., for colorfastness), and export compliance (like OEKO-TEX or GOTS for eco textiles).

Artisan and Handloom Textile Suppliers

Alongside industrial producers, India has a rich network of artisan textile suppliers. These companies and platforms connect traditional weavers and craft ateliers with corporate buyers interested in the “handcrafted” aesthetic. Such suppliers often specialize in block-printed cotton, handwoven linens, khadi fabrics, embroidered quilts, etc. They cater to boutique hotels, designer studios and conscious retailers who value cultural heritage. Notable aspects:

  • Export & Innovation: Handloom and homecraft firms in India export a variety of products. Bed linens, table linens, cushion covers and yes, even curtains. In fact, home textiles make up over 60% of India’s total handloom exports. Exports of handloom-made curtains, mats and durries are significant in markets like the USA, UAE and Europe. To ensure consistency, many artisan suppliers work on a cluster model or cooperatives (e.g., weaving clusters in Varanasi or Karur). They adapt designs for modern interiors while using traditional motifs.
  • Clusters & Handlooms: Key craft centers include Varanasi (UP) for brocade and jacquard, Karur (TN) for bed & bath linens, Mirzapur (UP) and Phulia (WB) for block-prints, and Panipat for handloom carpets and curtains. Government data highlights Panipat, Varanasi, Karur & Kannur as major handloom export centers producing curtains and home textiles. These clusters supply curated goods under brand labels or via trade portals.
  • Online and B2B Platforms: Several platforms now help architects and retailers source artisan textiles. For example, The Indian Motif B2B (Bengaluru) is a curated marketplace for GI-tagged weaves and handcrafted fabrics. It serves brands by managing the supply chain across 40+ artisanal clusters and vetting quality. The Indian Motif offers products in cotton, silk, linen etc., directly from weavers, ensuring ethical sourcing and competitive pricing. Similarly, marketplaces like GoSwadeshi and Artisaga list numerous weaver-owned brands and cooperatives.
  • Sample Suppliers: Some prominent names/platforms in this segment are:
  • GoCoop (GoSwadeshi): A government-supported digital mart for handloom/homecraft products, where small textile suppliers and designers list artisanal curtains, rugs and linens.
  • Anuprerna: A sustainable handloom fabrics brand (Odisha) offering organic cotton throws, linen curtains and apparel, serving fashion and home-decor markets.
  • Aranya/Tara Projects: Organizations that work with rural weavers to produce blankets, rugs and tapestry designs often sold to boutique hotels.
  • Local Workshops: Many hotels and designers source hand-embroidered or block-printed curtains from cooperatives in places like Jaipur or Delhi. These suppliers may have large web profiles, but industry fairs (IHGF, IHIS) connect them to buyers.
  • Ethical and Eco Focus: Artisan suppliers stress fair trade and organic materials. For instance, Eyda Homes is a homegrown design collective that emphasizes “natural fibres” and slow handcrafting. Founded by Pavas Sharma (scion of master weavers), Eyda partners with second- and third-generation artisans to make block-printed, handwoven cushions and curtains. The brand describes itself as “a living story of Indian artisanship passed down through generations.” Eyda’s philosophy, “we do not mass produce, we slow craft,” illustrates the artisan segment’s appeal: characterful, limited-quantity textiles with a story. (Eyda Homes supplies global boutiques via B2B channels; it’s an example of how heritage craftsmanship is marketed internationally.)
  • Handloom Quality: Artisan-made curtains often use unbleached khadi, linen or raw cotton, with hand embroidery or prints. They command premium pricing but suit niche buyers (eco-resorts, art hotels). While volumes are smaller than industrial suppliers, creative textiles (for drapes, upholstery panels) can set a project apart. Architects sourcing for heritage or boutique projects should request artisan catalogs and check for certifications (e.g., silkmark for silk products, or GI tags).

Comparison of Key Suppliers

To help procurement teams, below is a brief comparison of different supplier categories:

  • Large-scale manufacturers (e.g., D’Decor, Zynna, NuHome):
  • Strengths: High production capacity, standardized quality, quick turnaround for big orders. Offer wide range of synthetic and blended fabrics; many have in-house design teams. Suitable for major hotel chains needing uniform look.
  • Typical buyers: Hotel chains, MNC offices, government projects.
  • Considerations: Higher MOQs, focus on technical specs (fire ratings etc). Some branding/marketing overhead; less artisanal uniqueness.
  • Mid-sized specialists (e.g., Kobid, Classic Furnishing, Shyam Furnishings):
  • Strengths: Flexible manufacturing, can do custom prints or fabrics. Often family-run with quick decision-making. Good for regional projects or mixed volumes.
  • Typical buyers: Interior decorators, smaller hotel groups, new commercial complexes.
  • Considerations: May have limited distribution (region-centric), may rely on trade references. Check for export experience if shipping abroad.
  • Artisan/Textile designers (e.g., Eyda Homes, The Indian Motif):
  • Strengths: Unique, handcrafted fabrics (handloom, block prints, embroidery) with a cultural story. Focus on sustainability. Can do bespoke small-batch runs.
  • Typical buyers: Boutique hotels, heritage restoration, eco-resorts, retail decor stores.
  • Considerations: Longer lead times, smaller runs, quality may vary inherently. Verify fair-trade claims. These suppliers often work via referrals or curated networks (some list wholesale pricing for bulk but maintain artisanal ethos).
  • Wholesale fabric traders and mills:
  • Strengths: Some large mills produce fabric rolls (e.g., poly-cotton drapery fabrics) sold via traders. One can buy greige fabric and commission local tailoring.
  • Typical buyers: Assembly contractors, exporters.
  • Considerations: Less vertical integration, buyer arranges stitching/finishing. Useful for very large volume procurement (e.g., thousands of m² of blackout cloth).

Each category involves trade-offs in cost, lead time and exclusivity. Many B2B buyers use a mix. For example, they may buy standard blackout fabrics from a mill but commission local artisans for decorative borders or tiebacks. It pays to compare suppliers on quality control practices, minimums, and after-sales support. As one D’Decor executive noted, working closely with architects and designers is key to meeting project needs. Similarly, vendors like NuHome offer installation services as part of their B2B solutions.

Eyda Homes – An Artisanal Case Study

Eyda Homes is an illustrative example of India’s artisan-driven home textile sector. Founded by Pavas Sharma (from a family of master weavers), Eyda blends traditional craft with contemporary design. According to the brand, Eyda “creates handcrafted home textiles that reflect India’s deep rooted craft traditions,” working through its parent company Archana Arts & Crafts. The company operates out of India (for production) and the USA (for marketing), but remains focused on B2B wholesale: selling cushions, throws and curtains in batches to boutiques and interior firms. Eyda emphasizes natural fibers (organic cotton, jute, linen) and techniques like hand block-printing and hand-loom weaving. It resists mass production, preferring “slow craft” such as small batches of embroidered cushions and boho-style curtains.

For procurement leads, Eyda illustrates several points: it sources product “from India’s textile soul,” reviving crafts and supporting artisan livelihoods. A bulk buyer working with Eyda would value the story and uniqueness behind each piece. However, to work with such brands, one should expect flexibility on order size (sometimes higher than standard retail) but also variability in patterns (each handloom piece is unique). Eyda’s success shows how B2B buyers (especially in boutique hospitality) can tap India’s artisanal heritage to create differentiated interiors.

Procurement Considerations for B2B Buyers

Sourcing curtains or textiles from India involves both commercial and quality factors. Procurement leads and architects should consider:

  1. Regulations and Certifications: Ensure fabrics meet local fire safety standards (ISO or ASTM), especially for hotel use. Verify any “organic” claims via GOTS or Oeko-Tex certifications. If importing, check Indian exporter certifications (IE Code, etc.). Big manufacturers like D’Decor and Zynna usually have these in place.
  2. Factory Audits and Quality Control: Reputable suppliers will allow factory inspections or third party audits. Ask for samples and lab tests (e.g., for colorfastness, tensile strength). For industrial suppliers, request an ISO quality manual. Artisan suppliers might offer batch samples instead.
  3. Order Fulfillment: Clarify lead times. Industrial producers may turn around large orders in weeks, whereas artisan weavers might need months. Discuss minimum order quantities (some mills require thousands of meters). Also ask about packaging and logistics, for example, do they palletize and handle export documentation?
  4. Customization and Design Support: Many Indian manufacturers have in-house design studios or drape experts who can adapt your specifications. For example, Eyda Homes and The Indian Motif offer personalized textile designs, while D’Decor offers digital room-visualization tools. Determine if the supplier can help with drawings, mock-ups or color matching.
  5. Pricing Structure: B2B pricing usually differs from retail lists. Request Ex-works or FOB quotes for your quantities. Remember to include duties, shipping and taxes. Suppliers often give discounts for combined orders (e.g., curtains and bed-linen), or for franchise partners (as D’Decor has done to expand into tier-2 cities).
  6. Supplier Reliability: Long-term partnerships are common. Check reference projects: many curtain makers will cite past hotel or mall projects. D’Decor, for instance, refers to large residential and hotel projects in India. Also evaluate customer service: some suppliers, like Curtain Manufacturers Bangalore, even offer free repair services after installation.
  7. Payment Terms: Negotiate terms (LC, CAD, advance) as appropriate. B2B suppliers often accept letter of credit or wire transfer. Smaller artisan suppliers might require upfront deposit.
  8. Trade Fairs and Network: India hosts relevant expos where buyers can meet suppliers. For example, IHGF Delhi, India International Textile Machinery Expo (IITMEX), Techtextile India, and regional exhibitions. Visiting a trade fair is one strategy to compare multiple vendors. Online directories (Textile Infomedia, TradeIndia) also list curtain fabric manufacturers by city.
  9. After-Sales Support: Check if the company offers replacement for defects, or technical support. Some suppliers send maintenance guides (e.g., for cleaning different fabrics).

By carefully vetting vendors on these points, a procurement lead can minimize risk. The diversity of Indian suppliers, from high-tech mills to heritage weavers, means that specification and scope should guide the choice. For standardized bulk supply, an established mill or trading house may be best; for unique artisan character, platforms like Eyda Homes or The Indian Motif add value. In all cases, use the extensive indigenous expertise: many suppliers offer design consultancy and can work with your architects to finalize fabric types, prints and hardware (rods, tracks) as part of the B2B package.
