had ensured that the original manufacturing activities,which
were confined to fabric, finally encompassed everything
that went into fabrics, viz. crude to fabric.
In certain parts of the country, the fabric manufacturing
complex, with the brand name Vimal, continues
to be synonymous with Reliance Industries Ltd.
The umbrella brand Vimal later on became Only
Vimal. One of the largest complexes of its kind,
Naroda has a specialplace in the history of Reliance
even though the other Reliance operations have
grown much larger over the years.
The activities at Naroda complex,
since its inception, have also witnessed substantial
growth. Fabrics of various types - suiting, shirting,
home textiles - are manufactured here. The most
distinctive feature of Naroda complex is the varied

This feature of Naroda is without a parallel.

to enjoy the status as one of the most modern,
