Soltex Trade Pvt Ltd discusses prospects for quartz fibre in India with Ministry of Textiles official

NEW DELHI: Today, September 25, 2026, Soltex Trade Pvt Ltd held a conference on the prospects for developing and promoting quartz fiber technology in India, held in a recent virtual meeting with Smt. Arti Kanwar, IAS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles. Mr Manish Kumar (CEO) Soltex Trade Pvt Ltd took part for this conference.

The meeting, held through a video conference, centered on the potential applications of quartz fiber in India and the scope for developing an ecosystem around advanced fiber and material technologies.

Mr. Kumar made a presentation on quartz fiber and its properties, and shared his views on the possible opportunities for its application in India. The discussion also touched upon the broader requirements for technology adoption, manufacturing capabilities, and the development of an indigenous ecosystem for advanced fiber materials.

Quartz fiber is a high-performance material known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and its resistance to chemicals. Its characteristics make it relevant to a range of specialized applications where conventional fiber materials may not offer comparable performance.

The interaction also provided an opportunity to discuss the role that advanced materials could play in expanding India’s technical textile and manufacturing capabilities. The Ministry of Textiles has, in recent policy initiatives, placed emphasis on modernization, innovation, indigenous manufacturing and strengthening the textile value chain.

For Mr. Kumar, the discussion was an opportunity to present the case for greater awareness and exploration of quartz fiber technology in the Indian market.

“The discussion provided an opportunity to exchange views on the potential of quartz fiber in India and the possibilities for developing capabilities around advanced fiber technologies,” Mr. Kumar said.

The meeting did not constitute any formal government approval or commitment regarding a quartz fiber project. Rather, it was an interaction to exchange views on the technology and its potential applications in India.

With growing attention on technical textiles, advanced materials and domestic manufacturing, quartz fiber could form part of wider discussions on the diversification of India’s fiber and materials ecosystem.
