Below are (a) reliable ways to find and verify GOTS‑certified apparel manufacturers in India, and (b) a short, curated list of Indian manufacturers that publicly state GOTS certification (with sources). Note: GOTS certification status can change, so always verify a supplier’s current Scope Certificate / Transaction Certificate before ordering — instructions and links are below.

How to find and verify GOTS‑certified suppliers

• Use the official GOTS Certified Suppliers Database (public searchable listing of scope certificates uploaded by GOTS‑approved certifiers). Always check the supplier’s Scope Certificate there or ask the supplier to provide a copy of their current Scope Certificate and a Transaction Certificate (TC) for your shipment. (global-standard.org)
• Ask the supplier for:
  1. A copy (PDF) of their GOTS Scope Certificate (showing certifier name, certificate number, scope and expiry), and
  2. For an order: the GOTS Transaction Certificate (TC) issued by the certifier for that shipment. If in doubt, contact the certifier named on the Scope Certificate to confirm authenticity. (global-standard.org)
• Check GOTS integrity notices (bans / warnings) to avoid fraudulent sellers — GOTS publishes companies that have been suspended/banned for misuse of certificates. (gotslive.global-standard.org)

Sample list — Indian apparel/textile manufacturers that publicly state GOTS certification (Use these as starting points; verify each with the steps above.)

• Armstrong Knitting Mills (Tirupur, Tamil Nadu) — long‑established vertical knitwear group; lists GOTS among its sustainability/certification claims and is referenced by GOTS material about certified manufacturing in Tirupur. (armstrong-india.com)
• Texport Industries (multiple plants; Tamil Nadu + other states) — site states that their facilities hold GOTS and OCS/GRS where applicable. Verify specific facility scope and certificate number. (texport.com)
• Shahi Exports (weaving/apparel group) — has produced garment collections made from GOTS‑certified organic cotton and markets GOTS use in collections; check which mills/facilities hold current GOTS scope certificates. (shahi.co.in)
• KG Fabriks / Sri Kannapiran Mills (Coimbatore / Tamil Nadu) — denim & fabric mill that states it can provide GOTS (and other sustainable) certifications for product lines. Confirm exact scope/certificate for the product you need. (kgfabriks.com)
• Kishor Exports (garments & homewear) — company site states SA8000 & GOTS certification for 100% organic garments/home textiles; request their Scope Certificate & TC. (kishorexports.com)
• Karveer Textiles Pvt. Ltd. (Kolhapur / Maharashtra) — site states they are GOTS certified (woven organic fabrics). Verify certificate details when sourcing. (karveertextiles.com)
• JNS Fabrics & Exports (Chennai) — advertises GOTS‑certified baby garments & accessories; confirm scope and current certificate with their certifier. (indiasourcing.net)
• Golden Terry Towel Pvt. Ltd. (home textiles/towels) — lists GOTS among certifications for home textiles; useful if you need GOTS towels/terry products. (indiasourcing.net)

Practical tips when contacting suppliers

• Request the supplier’s GOTS Scope Certificate PDF (check certifier name and expiry) and, for any shipment, ask for the GOTS Transaction Certificate (TC) referencing the products and volume. Confirm the certifier’s contact details on the certificate and (optionally) contact the certifier to confirm authenticity. (global-standard.org)
• Confirm which parts of the supply chain are covered (spinning / knitting / dyeing / finishing / manufacturing). GOTS requires each processing stage in the claimed chain to be certified or covered by the certified entity’s scope. (global-standard.org)
• Watch for red flags: vendors using GOTS logos without showing a Scope Certificate, suppliers unwilling to share TC/scope PDFs, or sellers identified in GOTS integrity/bans notices. (gotslive.global-standard.org)

If you’d like, I can:

• Run a fresh search of the GOTS Certified Suppliers Database (filter by “India” + product category such as “garments / babywear / fabrics”) and return a verified list with the suppliers’ Scope Certificate numbers and links to their database entries; or
• Look up any specific company from the list above and fetch its publicly posted Scope Certificate / certificate number (so you can validate it with the certifier).
