Textile production was concentrated in the following four regions in the early 19th century:

  1. Bengal was one of the most important centres. Located along the numerous rivers in the delta, the production centres in Bengal could easily transport goods to distant places.
  2. Dacca in Eastern Bengal, present-day Bangladesh, was the foremost textile centre in the 18th century. It was famous for its mulmut and jamdani weaving.
  3. Textile production was concentrated along the Coromandal coast stretching from Madras to northern Andhra Pradesh.
  4. On the west coast there were important weaving centres in Gujarat.
