INTRODUCTION
Carpet Industry is one of the oldest industries in India. Carpet Weaving was brought to India by Mughals. Over the period, various clusters have emerged in the northern part of India. Initially, carpet weaving was done only at few centres. Due to several historical reasons and availability of resources, carpet manufacturing spread across the northern India. During the last few decades, hand-tufted carpets have emerged as one of the major categories.The Indian carpet industry during the post-independence era has witnessed an export-led growth.
