Sewing machine demand runs 1.5 times industry capacity: Usha

Have you ever seen a sewing machine?

It is a machine people use to sew clothes and other things.

A big company called Usha International says lots of people want sewing machines these days.

In fact, people want at least one and a half times more sewing machines than factories can make.

There are a few reasons why.

The government has a plan called PM Vishwakarma that helps artists and craftspeople by giving them tools.

More small shops called boutiques are opening, and each boutique usually has three sewing machines.

People also like to sew things at home for fun and to learn new skills.

The whole sewing machine market in India is worth about ₹3,000 crore.

Big companies like Usha, Singer, and Gemini make most of these machines.

So the simple sewing machine is making a big comeback!
