Cotton is an intrinsic part of India’s rich textile tradition. India has supplied cotton to the world for centuries and has always been known for its beautiful cotton textiles.

Established in 1991, Vikas Cotton Mills is an enterprise that is carrying forward India’s textile legacy. The firm was established by Prakash Chand Ostwal in Pali (Rajasthan) and initially they were traders in textiles. Gradually they grew to be manufacturers and started a production unit in Ahmedabad.  The business is now being managed by second generation entrepreneur, Surya Ostwal. Under his leadership the firm is expanding its global footprint and catering to the demand of various businesses.
