Welcome to Manchester City Ichalkaranji.

The cotton power loom industry was started some time towards the beginning, of the 20th century. Attracted by the relative merits of the weaving with the help of power, some enterprising traditional handloom weavers gradually took over to the convenient and efficient system of cloth weaving. The machinery was mostly second-hand discarded by Mills which was employed by renovating, and reconditioning the same.

Ichalkaranji is known as the Manchester of Maharashtra. Ichalkaranji is a Princely state situated on the banks of Panchganga River (Marathi: पंचगंगानदी).
