Which Is The Largest Producer Of Carpet In India?

Here’s a clear, concise guide answering all your questions about carpets — with a focus on India where relevant:

1. Largest Producer of Carpet in India

The largest carpet-making companies in India are Rugs BY ARS, Ramsha Carpets, and Obeetee, known as the best carpet manufacturers in India, especially for hand-knotted and hand-tufted carpets. It’s based in the carpet belt of Uttar Pradesh.

2. Average Cost to Carpet a 12×12 Room

Cost varies widely based on material and quality:

• Budget machine-made carpets: approx ₹300–₹1,500 per sq ft.

• Hand-tufted mid-range: higher cost.

• Hand-knotted premium wool: up to ₹5,000 per sq ft.

For a 12'x12' (144 sq ft) room: 👉 Ballpark total material only costs range from ~₹43,000 (basic) → ₹2,16,000 (mid) → ₹7,20,000 (high-end) plus installation and padding.

3. Best Type of Carpet

There’s no single “best” — it depends on needs:

• Wool: Durable, luxurious, naturally stain-resistant (good all-around).

• Nylon: Durable, easy to clean (great for high-traffic zones).

• Polyester: Soft & budget-friendly but less durable.

• Hand-knotted handmade rugs: Top quality/artisan luxury. (Higher knot density often means better quality in hand-knotted pieces.)

4. City Famous for Carpet Industry

Bhadohi (often called Carpet City) and the larger Bhadohi-Mirzapur carpet belt are India’s most famous and biggest carpet-producing hubs.

5. Lifespan of a Carpet

Typical carpet lifespan depends on quality and care: ⭐ 5–15 years for most residential carpets. Higher-quality wool or dense handmade ones can last even longer with good maintenance.

6. Disadvantages of Carpet Flooring

Common drawbacks include:

• Stain & dust attraction: harder to keep clean than hard floors.

• Allergies: may trap allergens if not cleaned.

• Moisture issues/humidity: can promote mildew.

• Maintenance cost/time: requires regular vacuuming & periodic deep cleaning.

7. Best Type of Carpet for a Living Room

For living rooms (which have moderate traffic):

✅ Nylon or wool blends — durable, stain-resistant, comfortable. ✅ Hand-knotted or high-density cut pile — looks luxurious and holds up well over time.

(Avoid cheap polyesters in busy family rooms unless on a tight budget.)

8. Most Luxurious Carpet

The most luxurious home carpets are typically hand-knotted wool or silk rugs, especially those with:

• High knot density (finer detail & longevity).

• Natural fibers (wool/silk) – softer feel and rich appearance.

These are commonly made as Persian-style or artisanal pieces and can last for generations with care.

9. Most Low-Maintenance Carpet

For reliability with less upkeep:

Low-pile synthetic carpets (like nylon or polyester) ✔ Easier to vacuum ✔ Less likely to trap dirt or show wear ✔ Resist stains better than shag/long-pile varieties

If low maintenance is the priority, short-pile synthetics tend to be best.
