Natural dye units in Assam specialize in eco friendly fabric dyeing using plant based color sources like turmeric, indigo, lac, onion peels, betel leaves, and various forest plants.

Natural dyes enhance fabric richness while eliminating chemical pollution associated with synthetic dyes. These units cater to handloom clusters producing Eri, Muga, Pat, and cotton textiles. Artisans are trained in dye extraction, mordanting, color fixing, and environmentally safe wastewater management. With rising consumer preference for organic and chemical free fashion, natural dyeing is becoming a niche but premium value segment within the handloom sector. The Handloom & Textile Department promotes such units through skill training, infrastructure support, and technology adoption for sustainable textile enterprises.
