Cotton was first cultivated in the Old World 7,000 years ago (5th millennium BC), by the inhabitants of western Pakistan, As found at the site of Mehrgarh where early cotton thread has been preserved in copper beads. Cotton cultivation became more widespread during the Indus Valley Civilization, which covered a huge swath of the northwestern part of the South Asia, comprising today parts of eastern Pakistan and northwestern India. The Indus cotton industry was well developed and some methods used in cotton spinning and fabrication continued to be used until the modern industrialization of India. Between 2000 and 1000 BC cotton became widespread in much of India. as found at the site of Hallus in Karnataka around 1000 BC. Well before the Common Era, the use of cotton textiles had spread from India to the Mediterranean and beyond.

Stories of a marvellous half-lamb, half-plant ignored the fact that the Romans and Greeks knew cotton as a luxury import from India via camel caravans. Cloth discovered in the Indus valley dates Indian textile manufacture back to at least 2300 BC. Perhaps even earlier, cotton was being cultivated on the Pacific coast of Chile and Peru. From India it spread west to Egypt and Turkey; from the Pacific north to Central America and the Caribbean. Cotton, coming from at least two different points on the globe, is in a real sense the common property of humankind.

The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times.  Fragments of cotton fabric dated from 5000 BC have been excavated in Mexico and Pakistan. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that so lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.

Uday Cotton Industries aims at providing the best quality of cotton at the most competitive price.When the matter of quality comes ,we are the most preffered ginners of the domestic spinning mills and merchant exporters of India. After earning a creditable name in the domestic market we have entered into export business.
