India's Kasturi Cotton Bharat initiative reached over 2.1 lakh certified bales in the season ending September 30, highlighting a shift toward traceable textile sourcing.
Over 10 lakh bales are now integrated into the blockchain platform, which allows international buyers to verify the origin and quality of Indian cotton.
Industry experts note that this traceability is increasingly essential for meeting demand from U.S. and European markets for transparent supply chains.
