For over 150 years, Khatau Fabrics has woven India's finest textiles. Traded under the name Shreenath Traders — from Mumbai's mill heartland to homes, ateliers, and export markets across the world. The loom never stopped.
Every Khatau fabric is the result of a process that hasn't changed in its essentials in over a century — careful selection, precise weave, honest finish.
We source raw fibre from the best growing regions in India — Vidarbha cotton, Bangalore silk, Kutch wool — with relationships built across generations, not procurement cycles.
Our weaving combines traditional handloom techniques with modern power looms — preserving the texture and character of hand-woven cloth while meeting the volume and consistency that trade demands.
The finish is where Khatau cloth earns its name. Controlled dyeing, careful washing, precise inspection — every metre leaves our facility ready for the most demanding end use.
Shreenath Traders is the commercial face of Khatau Fabrics — the name under which the business trades, supplies, and reaches buyers across India and international markets.
While Khatau Fabrics is the manufacturer and the heritage, Shreenath Traders is the market presence — handling wholesale distribution, export orders, and direct buyer relationships. Two names, one operation.
The Khatau range spans traditional Indian textiles woven since 1874 and contemporary fabric lines developed for today's domestic and export markets. Available for B2B supply, wholesale, and export orders.
The heart of the Khatau range since 1874. Cotton, silk, and voile sarees woven for the wholesale and retail trade — from everyday wear to occasion wear.
Lightweight, sheer cotton voile — a Khatau speciality. Prized for its softness and drape, used for sarees, dupattas, and dress material across India.
Traditional woven dhotis in fine cotton — part of the Khatau range from the very beginning. Supplied to wholesale and institutional buyers across India.
Plains, shirtings, and dress fabrics woven from long-staple Indian cotton. The backbone of Khatau's wholesale supply to the domestic apparel market.
Pure mulberry silk and tussar weaves — from lightweight crepe de chines to rich dupions. Developed for the premium saree and apparel trade.
Pure linen and linen-cotton blends for premium apparel and home furnishing. Natural lustre, excellent drape, stonewash finishes available.
Cotton-silk, cotton-modal, and linen-viscose blends engineered for specific end-use performance. Custom fibre ratios developed to brief.
Bespoke fabric development for labels, designers, and institutional buyers. Bring your specification — we'll develop the weave, colour, and finish to match.
India's cloth. Since 1874.
Aparna Khatau leads Khatau Fabrics as Managing Director, continuing a family tradition in Indian textile manufacturing that stretches back to 1874. Under her stewardship, the company has expanded its export footprint while deepening its commitment to traditional weaving techniques and sustainable sourcing.

"There are easier businesses. But few with this much to say."
— Aparna Khatau, Managing Director, Khatau FabricsKhatau Fabrics is one of India's oldest continuously operating textile businesses. The loom has turned through independence, partition, liberalisation, and globalisation — and kept turning.
The Khatau family establishes their first textile trading operation in Mumbai, supplying cotton cloth to the growing domestic market during the boom years of India's mill economy.
Khatau begins silk weaving, developing relationships with silk growers in Karnataka and Bengal that form the foundation of the company's silk programme to this day.
As India finds its industrial footing post-independence, Khatau Fabrics supplies cloth to a growing domestic apparel and home furnishing market, expanding its weaving capacity through Mumbai's thriving mill district.
India's liberalisation opens export markets. Khatau develops its first dedicated export range — premium cotton and silk weaves for European and American buyers — establishing the company's international identity.
Under Aparna Khatau's leadership, the company combines 150 years of craft knowledge with a forward-looking focus on sustainable sourcing, premium blends, and a deeper global export programme.
