Malegaon is a large powerloom centre where looms run long shifts making grey cloth. Owners lose money every hour a loom stands idle, so a nearby workshop that stocks the right spares and sends a fitter fast can win steady work.

This is a Malegaon workshop and spares counter that repairs and services powerlooms. A fitter goes to loom sheds to fix breakdowns and replace worn shuttles, belts, bearings, gears and pickers. You can also service a shed's looms regularly for a fixed monthly fee.
Malegaon is a large powerloom centre that makes grey cloth (plain cloth not yet bleached or dyed) at scale. Looms here often run long shifts, so moving parts wear out fast, and a loom that stands still earns nothing. NABARD's 2023-24 credit plan for Nashik lists common facility centres and skill training among the needs of its small industries.
You need a shop near the loom lanes, a lathe, drill, welding set, hand tools, common spares and one or two trained loom fitters. Get Udyam registration and a shop licence before you start. The hard part is that loom work rises and falls with yarn and cloth prices. In a slow season, owners run fewer shifts and put off repairs. Many small mechanics already work here, so you win on speed, having the right part in stock and fair bills. Owners often ask for credit, so set clear limits.
Find customers by visiting loom sheds and through local weavers' groups and yarn traders. Quick, honest work on early calls brings more by word of mouth.
