Best underwear & brief manufacturers in India (2026)

By SupplySpark data desk · Updated 17 Sept 2026 · 278 suppliers considered

Tirupur is typically described as India's main knitwear hub, and underwear is a natural extension of its cotton knitting base: 164 of the 278 underwear and brief suppliers SupplySpark lists in India are based there, followed by Mumbai (22), Kolkata (13) and Noida (11). Independent evidence backs 95% of them. GOTS is the most common certification (93), followed by Sedex (SMETA) (79), ISO 9001 (64), SA8000 (48), amfori BSCI (47) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (46), which covers testing for harmful substances in skin-contact products. Of the 107 suppliers that publish an MOQ, 68 accept 50 units or fewer. The 15 manufacturers below are ordered by SupplySpark score. Several focus on broader knitwear, so confirm dedicated underwear lines, elastic sourcing and size grading before sampling.

How we ranked. Suppliers are ranked by SupplySpark's score, which weighs profile completeness, independent evidence such as business registry records, customs shipment data and reviewed documents, and trade activity. No supplier can buy its placement. Minimum order quantities and certifications change, so always confirm them directly with the factory before committing to an order.
