Organisational, statistical and technological aspects of the textile coloration and related industries of India are reviewed, whilst examining the functioning of some of the typical centres where coloration is carried out. The impact of government policy planning, modernisation efforts, role of viscose and synthetic fibres, existing traditional coloration practices, exports, etc. are analysed to bring out the strengths and weaknesses of the coloration industry in India. The serious efforts to increase exports of value‐added textiles and garments and to compete in the world markets have given impetus to the growth of modern coloration and related industries. However, it may still be said that a review of the coloration industry of India takes the reader through several centuries of developments in coloration technology.
