The document summarizes composites manufacturing in India. It states that composites can be made from glass or carbon fabrics reinforced with thermoset or thermoplastic polymers to form materials like glass-reinforced plastics and carbon-reinforced plastics. These composites are majorly used in industries like wind energy, construction, automotive, and railways. The Indian composite industry is projected to grow at 15% annually with glass-reinforced fabrics remaining the dominant material.

2. Composites can be manufactured using Glass / Carbon fabrics
which is known as reinforced fabric.
These fabrics are treated/ surrounded by polymers (which are
thermo-plast/ thermo fix according to the end application) to form
reinforced plastics (e.g. Glass reinforced plastics/ carbon reinforced
plastics etc.) which are directly used in the end applications
The Indian composite industry has a strong manufacturing base
with some of the of international players such as “Saertex, Gamesa,
Bambardier, OCV etc.
The composites are mainly known as Glass reinforced plastics
(GRP) and Carbon reinforced plastics (CRP)

4. The reinforced fabrics are majority manufactured form multiaxial
warp knitting or woven technology
The GRP is manufactured on the multiaxial warp knitting
technology with high production of about 4 tons of fabric per day
The main application is reinforced fabric for manufacturing wind
mill blade (one wind mill blade of 21 mtr. length consumes about 4
ton of fabric)
Also the woven and chopped fabrics have their applications such as
train compartments, Automotive exteriors, modular furniture's,
claddings used in construction etc.
Carbon reinforced fabrics are high end fabrics used in specially
applications such as “Aeronautical industry”. CRF can also be
manufactured using multiaxial technology/ weaving technology
