Short answer

Grey (or greige) fabric is cloth straight off the loom, before it is bleached, dyed, printed or finished. Surat's weavers produce grey fabric, which processing houses then turn into finished fabric.

Grey fabric is the raw material of Surat's textile chain. It is traded in bulk between weavers, traders and processing houses in industrial areas such as Pandesara GIDC and Sachin GIDC. Manufacturers who want custom colours or prints often buy grey fabric and have it processed to order.
