Inside CTA Apparels’ manufacturing unit in Sector 63, Noida, the factory floor goes beyond scale; it reflects a shift in how India’s garment exporters are rethinking production.
On a recent visit, what stood was not just the movement of fabric and finished garments but the way the entire operation is managed through automated systems, rather than manual supervision. Rolls of fabric are moved seamlessly from inspection to cutting, ensuring minimal handling. Large sections of the floor are organised around centralised processes instead of fragmented lines. Operators work alongside screens tracking performance in real time, while supervisors monitor output through digital dashboards.
